I would like to pass on my sincere gratitude to Dr. Anne Phillips. King's College hospital and facilities are spotless and the welcome is indeed warm however, what makes the visits so remarkable in the medical landscape of Dubai is the Dr. herself! Dr. Anne Phillips is the most caring, empathetic, organised and thorough Dr. I have ever met. She absolutely listens to all you say and leaves no stone unturned, without suggesting excessive/unnecessary testing and medication. Extremely refreshing. Solution focused, this dedicated practitioner works unceasingly and has vast knowledge and experience in the field of Obstetrics and Gynaecology. Should any follow up be required, she responds promptly and proactively. Visiting her is always pleasurable and she takes such great care to ensure you are at ease and comfortable. So happy and relieved to have met this incredible Dr. I only wish it had happened many years ago! Thank you Dr. Anne Phillips, a beautiful soul who has literally changed my life.

I visited the King College Hospital London Dubai and it was the best team of medical staff I have been around in a long time in Dubai. I would love to have them around if I ever get sick again. Doc Anne took the time to make me feel like I was the only patient there. The gentleman that took my initial information was terrific, he too made me feel like I was the first patient of the day. I loved visiting and if I need their service again I know I will be welcomed.

Hi, I saw Dr Anne a few months ago just for a checkup, I have to say I found her dismissive on my questions, like I was asking things I should know and she didn't have time to answer - felt like I shouldn't be bothering her with my trivial questions! My friend is going to her as she is pregnant and finds her very good so maybe it was just the way she was on the day I was there. I am hoping to try to get pregant soon so I'm wondering if you start with Dr. Anne and decide to switch doctor - more than likely Dr. Elsa is this easily done? How easy is it to switch doctor whilst pregnant and under another OB-GYN? Thanks!

I feel sad that you feel this way about dr Anne , she is lovely, yes can be full on but she is manic at city and does sometimes say things that really I think she said in her head and were not meant out load lol. Every time I went she said something about my saggin belly I'm on number three and gained weight after first two started to loose before number three . It really ****** me off at first but I learnt that she didn't mean any harm. Plus I knew she would say it so I just use to laugh and shed ask me why I'd say your going to tell me I need to do something about that after birth aren't you lol. All in good humour. And well she was fantastic with the birth little rough, ie small hands but I had a epidural so was numb. She got my baby out safe that's all that mattered in the end, :-)

Hi MrsDB So glad you bought this up. I've had a similar experience with Anne, shes always rushed and cuts me off every time i talk too. My first few visits were all about her family, I'm sure it was meant to be more about mine. I ended up switching, you need to feel comfortable with who you are seeing.

If you feel that way, then I wouldn't bother going back to her. There are lots of good OB-GYNs around and you deserve one that you are happy with.

Does anyone find Dr Anne abit full on? I thought I'd stick with her as I'm planning to go back to the UK for the birth but i honestly can't get a word in when ever we go for an appointment. We were given two dates that weren't far apart but were told to discuss it with Anne to agree with one date and she refused to do it. She responded "it doesn't matter as you can't predict the future" my husband asked if she could do the measurements and get a more accurate date but she refused it straight away. Anne then went on to mention to get induced if i haven't popped when my hubs returns to the UK, which is not an option with the NHS. When I was pregnant with our first child, we went to American hospital and saw Dr Danielson, who did the measurements, told us a realistic date and took the time to listen to us. Dr Danielson also was able to tell us that we were gna have a girl last time and although we do not want to find out this time we asked out of curiosity if she could tell but not to tell us and Dr Anne responded "no i can't, I'm not trained to do that, infact i wouldn't tell if i knew as i dnt like to" .... Who made it up to her? I understand that u can't predict when the baby will come but its nice to know u have a realistic date to go by. My hubs will only be able to come bk home for a short period of time so timing for us is crucial. We've done our own calculations too but feel like we haven't been heard by Anne atall. The thing that tops is it that I know i had loads of stretch marks with my first kiddo and i know i had put on loads of weight i really don't need her saying "oh u had loads of stretch marks, i can't believe it" every ****** visit. It's not the most flattering thing i know. I already feel super conscious about them, I dnt feel like i can ever wear a bikini or a sari again and she really knows how to put salt on a wound. Feeling super annoyed. :(
