Pregnancy Private Maternity C-Section (Caesarean Section)
Dr Savvidou is very knowledgeable, friendly, caring and kind. I was under her care at Kensington Wing for monitoring of my pregnancy and had a Csection recently. She was always very responsive during my pregnancy with any queries I had. I was very anxious before the Csection and she reassured me and I felt at ease in her capable hands. Procedure went smoothly with no complications. I highly recommend her and I would certainly choose her as my Consultant if I were to have another baby.

Mina was so wonderful during my twin pregnancy. She was very responsive to any question or concern that I had, even outside of working hours. When any potential issue arose she made herself immediately available to see me. Her clear explanations were also extremely helpful. All and all, this made me feel very reassured even when I was scared or worried. I am very grateful to have had Mina as my doctor and would highly recommend her for any one else.

Pregnancy Childbirth (Assisted Vaginal Delivery) Private Maternity
Dr Savvidou is an incredible doctor. She instills calm and confidence and you feel very secure in her hands and with all decisions made. She takes both mother and baby into account and has a wonderful bedside manner.
Read moreDr Makrina Savvidou was a wonderful obstetrician providing very attentive care during our pregnancy. She monitored our baby very carefully and provided constant support with any questions we might have had. She did a great job of creating a safe space for us and putting us at ease throughout the pregnancy and especially during the delivery.
Read moreDoctor Savvidou is a fabulous Doctor! I delivered both my babies with her and the quality of her care was exceptional. She is extremely knowledgeable, understanding and available. Even if I am the kind of patient who asks 1000 questions, often 10 times the same ones and who overthinks everything, she always made the time available for me, happily answered all my concerns and gave me confidence and reassurance during the pregnancy and the actual birth. Her PA Louise is so kind, gentle and supportive and she would always be available to help! Doctor Savvidou also is extremely reactive and will always make sure to respond to you or call you in no time, always ensuring you are happy and under the best care possible. On top of being an excellent Doctor, she is also a very lovely person. I almost want a 3rd child now :) thank you for making my dream come true!

Pregnancy
Mina is very knowledgeable but approachable at the same time. She gave me excellent care during my pregnancy and was on hand during very anti social hours for the birth, when she gave very clear and calm advice about the interventions I needed for a safe delivery.
Read moreDr Savvidou delivered our three daughters over the past 8 years. She is an excellent consultant - her knowledge, advice, support and care throughout my three pregnancies and deliveries have been exceptional. Her calm and confident approach as well as bedside manner have always been very reassuring. I would always recommend her without hesitation.
Read moreWe are lucky enough that both our children have been delivered by Mina. Pregnancy and childbirth can be highly daunting times and Mina’s expertise, understanding and compassion prove invaluable. We would highly recommend Mina and the team at the Kensington Wing.

C-Section (Caesarean Section)
I could not recommend Dr. Savvidou more! Mina always found the time to see me when I needed, and I never felt rushed - even when I had my list of questions. Mina and her lovely PA Louise always responded to my queries very quickly. Mina is such a calm presence and made me feel relaxed all the way through my pregnancy and on the day of my c-section.
