Excellent
Zeer professionele, behulpzame, kundige en empathische mensen.
I had a scan with Mr Yazbek. It was an excellent experience. The clinic was clean and well organised. Mr Yazbek was extremely polite and thorough. He is highly experienced and explained the findings very well. I highly recommend him for any gynaecological scans.
I parked easily outside. The clinic was very clean and pristine and you felt like you were in an ultrasound environment due to its cleanliness. I was seen on time which makes a massive difference to having to wait for a consultant appointment. The nurse who was present at my pelvic scan was so so lovely and smiley and put me at ease. Mr Joseph Yazbek was very professional and calm and very informative. I would definitely return and I recommend it highly.
Staff were all very friendly and personable. The consultant carrying out the scan was very gentle and talked me through everything, explaining the procedure and discussing the results.
I cannot thank the team enough for the outstanding service I received, particularly from reception staff member Monic and Professor Jurkovic.
Monic went above and beyond to secure me a slot that aligned with my cycle dates—something that was crucial for my ongoing treatment. She didn’t just do her job; she genuinely cared and made me feel supported at a very stressful time. Her empathy and persistence made all the difference.
As someone who has undergone over 100 scans during years of fertility treatment, it was truly remarkable that Professor Jurkovic was the first specialist to accurately diagnose me with endometriosis. His thoroughness and expertise gave me clarity and a much-needed sense of direction moving forward.
Exceptional service, genuine care, and true medical insight—I highly recommend this team.

The Gynaecology Ultrasound Centre Is amazing!
The staff are so personable and really make you feel welcomed and at ease.
Doctor Joel Naftalin is one of the best gynaecologists I have ever had the pleasure of being seen by.
He is friendly and knowledgeable and makes you feel so comfortable during examinations. He is thorough and takes the time to explain everything to you and allows you to ask as many questions as you need.
I cannot imagine going to see anyone else ever again. This is my second time attending the centre and it is an absolute pleasure being his patient. I am grateful for his expertise and patience.

Response from the owner:Thank you very much for leaving us a positive review.
This is the best place I have an ultrasound done, and I cant recommend them high enough with words. I have been treated like a queen on every single point of contact, from booking the appointment to the reception and finally been seen by Miss Jackie Ross, who performed my ultrasound. From first contact, she put me at ease and made me feel calm, listening to my health concerns and medical history related to the scan we were about to perform, not rushing me at all. During examination, she made sure to, not only, go through each area, where previous scans have spotted something, even if minor, explaining to me how each area of the pelvis was improving or not and, in case of new findings, she made sure to explain in detail what it was, potential causes, the complexity and clinical significance of those new findings, and , most important, her throughout examination, covering all my questions while performing the scan, made me feel, for the first, time, in 7y living in London, that I was being heard, individually. She left no stone unturned regards pelvic and abdominal search for endometriosis, and that was absolutely reassuring. I can tell I've found the perfect gynecologic USS centre to carry on with future follow ups.
Thank you so much for the entire team, including assistants and nurses, and special thanks for Jackie, for been such a highly skilled doctor and for showing empathy and understanding to patient's concerns and questions, no matter how minor or significant they might be. This made all difference, and I would recommend this place to every woman, friends of not, who want to be in safe hands regards their reproductive health. Thank you!

I saw Dr Joel Naftalin for suspected Endometriosis. He's a very friendly, calm and reassuring gentleman.
He was able to diagnose Endo and Adenomyosis. For 18 years I have been fighting to find answers. He gave me the validation and answers I needed to finally know what steps to take to look into symptom management. Also knowing what I am finally treating and what pain relief (natural/pharma) is good for said conditions.
He was very detailed and showed me clearly on the scanning screen where the areas were affected, the healthy bits and measurements. I was actually fascinated! It was so cool!
Dr Naftalin's nurse was absolutely gorgeous, she made me feel so much at ease and when I cried she understood it was from relief finally having answers. There needs to be clones of her in the world.
Their services are worth every penny ! Thank you 🙏

Her expertise and gentle manner made a real difference to my experience and gave me great confidence in the care I was receiving.
I’m incredibly grateful to have such a dedicated team looking after my health. Highly recommended.

Have questions?
Is it possible to diagnose ectopic pregnancy on the scan?
Experienced operators are able to detect almost all ectopic pregnancies measuring more than a few millimetres in size on ultrasound scan. It is important to emphasize; however, that ectopic pregnancies tend to develop more slowly than intrauterine pregnancies and it often takes them longer to grow to the size which makes them visible on the scan. Most women with a positive pregnancy test in whom ultrasound cannot identify a pregnancy have either normal pregnancies which are younger than expected from the date of their last period or they have already suffered a miscarriage. A small proportion of these women; however, may develop small ectopic pregnancies. A blood test is usually arranged in these cases to measure the levels of pregnancy hormones in women’s blood. Based on the result of the blood test we can advise women on the likely outcome of their pregnancy and on the need for further follow up.

When can you see the baby’s heartbeat?
The earliest ultrasound can confirm the presence of a heartbeat is two weeks after a missed menstrual period or four weeks after conception. In women who conceive after IVF the heartbeat can be seen four weeks after the day of oocyte collection. Again, in order to avoid coming for the scan too early it is best to delay the attendance until two and a half to three weeks after the missed period or four and a half to five weeks after conception/oocyte collection.

How soon after a missed period can pregnancy be seen on the scan?
A normal intrauterine pregnancy can be first seen on the scan three days after a missed menstrual period. In women who fall pregnant after fertility treatment such as ovarian stimulation the pregnancy can be seen 17 days after ovulation. In women who conceive after IVF the pregnancy can be seen 17 days after the day of oocyte collection. There are, however, small variations in the timing of conception and women who wish to confirm that their pregnancy is located within the uterus are advised to delay their attendance until a week after the missed period (or three weeks after conception) to avoid coming for the scan too early. This is particularly important in women with uterine abnormalities such as fibroids or adenomyosis, which make it harder to see the pregnancy and sometimes the diagnosis may be delayed for several days.

Is it safe to have a scan in early pregnancy?
There is no evidence that ultrasound scans can harm pregnancies. It is important to ensure, however, that the energy of ultrasound beam is kept low. Use of pulsed Doppler devices to measure blood flow should be avoided in the first weeks of pregnancy as their energy output is higher compared to the ultrasound beam used for standard imaging. Our equipment is fully compliant with the international standards for safe use in pregnancy and the machine energy output is continuously monitored during the examination.

Is it possible to detect ovarian cancer on the scan?
Ovarian cancer can be accurately diagnosed on ultrasound scan. The best and most accurate way to diagnose ovarian cancer is by an expert performing a systematic and detailed examination of the tumour and the adjacent structures in the pelvis and abdominal cavity. The advantage of this approach is that it provides the information about the nature of the tumour instantly in the vast majority of cases, without the need of additional blood tests such as CA125 or MRI.

Can you see Fallopian tubes on the scan?
Normal Fallopian tubes are very thin and they cannot be routinely seen on the scan. If the tubes are damaged, they tend to fill with fluid which makes it possible to see them. Tubal patency can be tested using a procedure called HyCoSy which is described in the section on the services we offer to women with concerns about their fertility.
