I cannot thank Mr Sampat enough for the outstanding care I received from him during the lockdown period. I was referred to him after a scan showed my baby was breech. After he confirmed this at 37 weeks, Mr Sampat talked me through the different options going forward. He allowed me to make my own decisions whilst also guiding me through the positives and potential risks of all options. After deciding on an elective caesarean, Mr Sampat booked me in to have the operation performed by him even though it was a week when he was doing emergency caesareans. I was so reassured when we he said he would do everything he could to perform the surgery himself as I had complete trust in his kind, gentle manner and exceptional knowledge. On the day of the operation, he came and spoke to my husband and I in an incredible relaxed way, we didn’t feel we were part of ‘his job’ at all. The caesarean itself amazed both of us for not only was our baby delivered safely, the speed at which Mr Sampat worked was astounding. The midwife looking after me said it was only one minute from the first cut to our boy being delivered- something she said she’d never seen before. The day after surgery, Mr Sampat came and visited me in the ward to see how I was and I also bumped into him again at a later point. He took the time to stop and talk, something I noticed the other women who had had caesareans on my ward didn’t get from their surgeons. My recovery has been textbook, the scar neat and healing well and I want to say a huge thank you to Mr Sampat enough for making such a nerve wracking and huge occasion at such a stressful time in the world so positive.
