I underwent an open myomectomy due to the size and number of fibroids I had, and I am incredibly grateful to have been under the care of Mr Okaro. From the very first consultation, he had an exceptional way of putting me at ease. He came across as confident without being cocky, and extremely thorough in his approach. I was particularly reassured by how much information he wanted before making any commitment to my case—it showed genuine care, attention to detail, and a commitment to doing what was right rather than rushing decisions. Throughout the process, I felt listened to, respected, and fully informed. His professionalism, expertise, and calm manner made what could have been a very daunting experience feel manageable and safe. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone facing a similar procedure.

I had an excellent experience with Mr Okaro, who removed a uterine polyp for me. He is a very calm yet confident consultant, which was incredibly reassuring throughout the entire process. At no point did I feel uncomfortable or unsure about what was happening - everything was clearly explained and handled with care. This was both my first experience of private healthcare and my first surgery, and Mr Okaro made what felt like a daunting situation completely stress-free. The whole experience was far easier than I had anticipated and genuinely nothing to worry about. I’m very grateful for his professionalism and would highly recommend him.

After years of stressful visits to gynaecologists, being dismissed and not having questions answered, Mr Okaro has been a reassuring breath of fresh air. He listened to me carefully, validated my concerns and was proactive about investigating and seeking solutions. I couldn't recommend his service more highly.

I can’t recommend Mr Emeka Okaro highly enough. He was calm, reassuring, and made me feel completely safe throughout my pregnancy and birth. I felt so comfortable knowing I was in his care, and that trust made all the difference. I had gestational diabetes and wanted a normal vaginal birth without an epidural or unnecessary intervention, and Mr Okaro fully supported this and helped make it happen. I’m so grateful for how listened to and supported I felt. Justina was also wonderful — kind, efficient, and always on top of everything.

I underwent a hysterectomy in December 2025 with Mr Okaro. The surgery was technically complex, and throughout the process he demonstrated outstanding expertise, professionalism, and clarity. He explained everything thoroughly and ensured I felt confident and well informed before surgery. Despite the complexity, the procedure went very well and my recovery has been smooth. Excellent post-operative care and follow-up. I would highly recommend Mr Okaro to anyone requiring complex gynaecological surgery.
