Unprofessional Overall
On 8/3 I went to a different private clinic to have a reassurance scan, I was told it was too early and they can see the gestational sack and yolk sack but not the embryo yet and they referred me to St.Michaels early pregnancy unit. On 11/03 I had a scan with the unit and they have identified the embryo and detect the heartbeat very clearly. The imagining was also quite magnified and very clearly visible. Unfortunately I did not have my partner with me so I booked another scan on 15/03 so that my partner can see the baby and the heartbeat as well.
I booked it with this clinic at this time because regardless how good the previous clinic was I had a negative feeling associated to it (nothing to do with the clinic) so wanted go somewhere with a positive energy. We went there and immediately the clinic looks quite run down compared to the first clinic I went to. No hand towels in the toilet(you need to go outside and take on top of the water cooler.) Also they do not have disposable water cups but plastic reusable kid cups which is not hygienic for a clinic environment. I was called in by the sonographer into the room. The seat was not prepared from the previous patient and there were ripped paper towels on the bed and on the floor. Then she told me to take off my clothes below waist but didn`t provide any gown or anything to cover myself with apart from a paper towel. When the scan started she had a very difficult time to locate the yolk sack and the fetal pole. Couldn`t magnify the image at all. All looked extremely small on the screen and she struggled to take measurements, Then proceeded to tell me that she can`t see a heartbeat and anything can happen at this time. She failed to answer any of the questions and just give general repeated answers. She said she will refer me to the hospital again. On the way out I was pushed to book a second appointment with them while I clearly told them I won`t make any other appointments without going to the hospital scan as what is the point?? They didn`t tell me anything about a report and we just left. I then received a report via email in my spam and it said that they saw an echogenic structure that might be a fetal pole with no cardiovascular enhancement with question marks. I told them clearly that the hospital clearly identified the embryo and also we saw the heart beat. I understand the heartbeat can stop and the baby can stop developing but it doesn`t change the fact that it is a fetal pole and not just an echogenic structure. Now I am waiting for the hospital scan to see what is actually happening and it is extremely stressful. The sonographer didn`t give us an impression of a qualified, certified, trained and experienced professional at all. The cleanness and the state of the scan room was also very questionable. And we paid £104 for this. Regardless of what the outcome with this, I will never come back to this place. I would avoid this place for early pregnancy screening as clearly they are not trained for it.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are very sorry to hear that your visit added further stress during what is already an understandably anxious time.
We take concerns about cleanliness, communication, and patient experience very seriously, and the points you have raised about the room setup and overall environment are being reviewed internally.
Because this is a public platform, we cannot comment on your personal medical care in detail. However, in early pregnancy scans, findings can sometimes be very sensitive and reports may be worded cautiously when there is any uncertainty. Our intention is always to act in the patient’s best interests and ensure there is no delay in onward referral or follow-up where needed.
We are sorry that you felt unsupported and dissatisfied with both the communication during the scan and the wording of the report. That is never the experience we want for our patients.
We would welcome the opportunity to look into this properly and discuss your concerns directly.
Please contact us on 0800 640 4299 and ask for the management team, so we can review your visit in full.

Great service!
The atmosphere in the waiting room is very calm and pleasant. The reception area is a little dark, which adds a sense of intimacy and comfort and helps you relax. The staff are very nice and friendly. I highly recommend it.

Brilliant experience
Brilliant experience. We had a gender reveal party straight after the scan and they tried their very best to make sure we had results for the party. Very friendly. We left with a gender reveal canon and 2 very happy parents to be.

Exceptional
Exceptional. I’ve had 2 scans here now and will definitely be going back for a 4D scan. You really get the care and compassion that you don’t get with NHS scans, you get to spend time getting to know your baby! Even get to hear the heartbeat well before NHS let you! If you ever need reassurance in between NHS scans definitely use this company! They really put my mind at ease!
