- I had a very positive birth experience with Dr Bakalis My labour went smoothly and felt unexpectedly easy, thanks to the doctor's calm, reassuring guidance and continuous support. Throughout my pregnancy, the antenatal care was also attentive and professional. I'm very thankful for the care I received and would happily recommend Dr Bakalis to others.
- Dr. Bakalis is excellent! I had all my prenatal scans with him as well as an elective c-section and thanks to him I had an anxiety-free pregnancy. I found it amazing that he is an OBGYN doctor who also specialises in maternal/fetal medicine, as it was very reassuring to be under his care from the start of the pregnancy to the delivery date. He is super knowledgeable, calm and patient. I highly recommend him!
- Dr Bakalis went above and beyond during my pregnancy and most importantly during labour. Our regular appointments and scans during my pregnancy provided a lot of reassurance, and he was always available whenever I had a concern. Most importantly I wanted a natural delivery and Dr Bakalis was patient and gave time during a long induction process which allowed me to deliver the baby vaginally. He was calm, professional and very reassuring throughout the whole process.

The things that stood out: - He is extremely personable and both my partner and we instantly felt at ease. - He always took time to listen to our concerns, even the small things, and took them seriously. - Towards the end, we monitored closely and frequently stayed in touch by messages in between consultations. - Dr Bakalis does the ultrasound scans himself, which means continuation of care and needing only one appointment. - His expertise in foetal health was invaluable in putting our minds at ease. - He was really supportive and flexible about our choice of delivery and we could have changed our minds even last minute if we wanted. - My healing postnatally has been quick and my scar has been described as beautiful. I would highly recommend Dr Bakalis and we would go with him again should there be a next time.
