As a doctor myself I was worried that it would be expected that I would know a lot about pregnancy and labour. However, as this was my first pregnancy I needed as much guidance and reassurance as any other person. Sush provided this without making me feel inadequate and genuinely seemed to look forward to meeting my husband and I when we went in for consults. He was contactable 24/7 and always reminded and encouraged us to contact him with any questions or concerns. It was easy to feel like I was his only patient.
My consults were never rushed and he always had time to go though all possible scenarios. I really valued the fact that he accepted my wish to not have a caesarean unless absolutely necessary and he was very supportive of my desire to have a natural birth.
My husband also found him very easy to talk to. He was also very welcoming to my other family members and never made them feel like an imposition.
During my labour he was in constant contact with me and very calm. I actually felt like he would be disappointed to miss the birth. After the birth he came to visit each day and would sit down and stay for half and hour to have a chat about how things had gone and were going.
Should I have another child I can’t image finding anyone else as competent and empathetic. I would highly recommend Sush.
