I am writing a review for Dr Fiona Cowell as we chose her as our obstetrician based on her outstanding reviews on the internet. As a first time mother I was relatively young (26). I questioned whether it was worth paying for private health as I was typically ‘low risk' given my age and health history. My husband always said it was just in case something went wrong. And unfortunately for me, it did, as I developed quite severe preeclampsia which resulted in my baby having to be delivered early. However, I am so thankful and grateful for Fiona, who was an outstanding doctor every step of the way. What I can say about Fiona is the following:
She is clearly very knowledgeable and experienced. Her decision making is always well considered and in my case the timing of her decisions were perfect. Whenever I told a midwife that my obstetrician was Fiona, they always spoke about her with respect, saying that she was always present on the ward, easy to communicate with, efficient with her admin and easy to work with. They said sometimes they had to chase other doctors up but never Fiona. This was also my experience as a patient. When I was admitted to the hospital I had daily contact/liaison with Fiona and felt like I received very personalised care. When you are unwell and stressed this makes a HUGE difference!
Fiona works with a team of other doctors which allows them to do part time hours. I had contact with three out of four of the doctors they were all exceptionable, knowledgeable, reassuring and their good working relationships were clear to me. They effectively communicated with each other, so on the rare occasion that Fiona was not available, I felt reassured that I was in good hands.

I cannot recommend Fiona highly enough and I am so grateful to her for all she for me and my daughter Ella.
