Dr Duncan was absolutely brilliant for my planned c section. After a difficult first birth , this was the healing experience I didn't know I needed. He was extremely responsive over whats app and we felt very looked after. I have had multiple comments from midwives and the health visitor on how neat my scar is! and how well it has healed , no doubt thanks for Dr Duncan's handiwork- I have had an extremely smooth recovery. I would not hesitate to recommend Dr Duncan and if we were to have a third Dr Duncan would be our first call! Thank you for looking after us so well. A special mention for the fabulous Colette- also extremely responsive and super helpful for all my questions on the Portland!

I cannot thank Dr Duncan and his team enough for such a smooth c section delivery! I had a very difficult pregnancy with hyperemesis and a lot of discomfort due to a previous abdominal surgery 2 years ago and Dr Duncan was on hand to make sure I had the full support needed to get through this and remain healthy and ensure the safety of my baby. He was always available to speak to and regularly checked on me throughout my frequent hospital stays getting fluids and anti sickness. He brought together the necessary team to ensure I had all areas covered for my c section and the experience was seamless. I had an almost pain free recovery (2 days of minimal pain) and full mobility within 5 days, on top of this my scar is incredibly neat! Thank you again and see you for our second baby soon!

Thank you for your kind c comments. I'm glad we made all the plans necessary and that this was such a positive experience for all of us.

We have just had our first baby with Dr. Duncan and as this was our first child we are so glad and so grateful that we made the right choice by opting to have a cesarean delivery with Dr. Duncan. We were under his care from the 11th week of the pregnancy and we felt safe and supported all the way until the end. The operation was so smooth and the aftercare was faultless resulting in a tiny scar which is barely visible after 2 weeks. We can not thank Dr. Duncan enough for all of his care and attention, we will certainly be back soon for the second baby!

我們第一胎是在香港自願性剖腹產,整個懷孕到生產過程非常順利及愉快。根據上胎經驗,今胎我依然選擇剖腹產,需要一位經驗豐富、技術(手勢)好、有口碑及平易近人的醫生。 Dr. Duncan 俱備以上所有。他給我們電話號碼,無論任何時間都可以隨時聯絡他,而且他都很快回覆,令我不需要在Google上搜尋答案,免卻不必要擔憂及節省時間。他是一位母胎醫學專家,每次產檢都是他親自照超音波及跟進,非常仔細及專業,並主動提供相關的孕期資訊(例如:飲食建議、補充品、產前篩檢及疫苗等)。身邊的朋友都說第二胎剖腹產傷口會更痛,但我完全沒有,手術完當晚已可下床及走路,沒有任何不適,頭暈、頭痛也沒有。產後很快恢復過來,至今已六星期了,傷口癒口非常理想,只留下一條很幼的線,這一切都歸功於他。 幸運地能遇到這位出色的醫生,非常感謝Dr. Duncan,與我們一起同行這個奇妙之旅,縱然我們沒有第三胎的計劃,萬一意外懷上,我都會豪不猶豫直接找他。如身邊有朋友需要,我都會強烈推薦他。 此外,也要特別感謝他的秘書 Colette,她是一位非常有禮及效率之人,緊貼跟進及回覆非常之快。 My first baby’s elective caesarean in Hong Kong which’s very smooth and happy. I would like to have same experience again, I look for a doctor who is experience, knowledgeable, skillful hand, well reputation and kindness. Dr. Duncan included all above. He gave me his mobile numbers, I can message him any question at any time and get the response quickly. I don’t need to ask to google, less worries and save the time. Every appointment he does ultrasound personally and provided relevant pregnancy information (e.g dietary advice, supplements, prenatal screening and vaccines, etc.) . Everyone told me that the second caesarean is more painful, but I didn’t. My first walk just 10hours after the surgery and doing well, no pain/ headache/ dizzying. Recovered quickly, it has been six weeks now and the wound healed well and leave a fine line. AMAZING! All credit to DR. Duncan. We’re very happy with my experience and would like to say a huge thank you to DR. Duncan and his team, gave a magical journey to us. Even we don’t have a plan for baby 3, but if have this luck, we will come again without hesitation and...

I had some fears about childbirth after hearing many negative stories, and being a bit of a control freak, I was especially anxious. However, after being recommended Dr. Duncan by another obstetrician abroad, my experience completely changed. Dr. Duncan and his receptionist, Colette, were both exceptional. Colette was incredibly organized, helping with all the prenatal appointments and paperwork, including several "fit to fly" letters. Dr. Duncan immediately put me at ease with his wealth of knowledge and approachable demeanor. He even gave me his WhatsApp number for any questions, always responding promptly and never making me feel like my concerns were too trivial. I ended up having a smooth, uncomplicated vaginal birth, and the entire experience exceeded my expectations. I will definitely be recommending Dr. Duncan to my friends and family, and if we’re lucky enough to have more children, we’ll absolutely return to him.

Dr Duncan supported us through our first pregnancy from the very beginning to delivery. We can’t thank Dr Duncan enough for his care over the last 9 months. He was always available and happy to answer all and any questions, and having a scan at every appointment was incredibly reassuring. The birth (an elective c section) all went smoothly and was a really positive experience, and we were grateful to Dr Duncan for checking in with us in the days after the birth to check on recovery. We would also like to mention Dr Duncan’s secretary, Colette, who is incredibly responsive and quick to send results, book appointments etc. We would recommend Dr Duncan to anyone looking for a consultant to guide them through pregnancy - we would absolutely choose to use Dr Duncan again for any future pregnancy.

I transferred to Mr Duncans care in my third trimester after a complicated first birth. Looking for a balanced review of my case for the safest delivery of my second child. Mr Duncan created a safe and effective environment for the delivery via c section.
