3 weeks agoI had both of my pregnancies and deliveries with Claire - 13 and 6 years ago - at the Portland Hospital, and she made the whole experience feel so easy and reassuring. From the very beginning, I knew I was in the best hands. Claire has a rare combination of being not only an exceptional doctor, but also a truly wonderful person with a big heart. She always made me feel cared for and important, never just another patient. Even now, whenever I have any concerns or uncertainties regarding my women’s health, I come back to her because I completely trust her care and judgment. Thank you, Claire, for your kindness, professionalism, and support over so many years!

a year agoA truly Exceptional Obstetrician When Claire Melon was recommended to me, the lady who referred me to her said that she would have another child - just for Claire to deliver the baby, and I now understand why. There are no words to sufficiently describe the gratitude I have towards Claire, she is simply extraordinary. From the first moment I met her, all the way through the whole journey of appointments, important decisions about delivery (with both my children) - she was nothing short of incredible. Her deep medical expertise combined with her calming demeanour made me felt heard, understood and completely safe. Whilst pregnant with my second child, we moved country to Portugal and I actually opted to continue to deliver my little girl with Claire in London because there is simply no one like her and no one I trust the way I do her. I wish everyone could have this kind of experience going through pregnancy and childbirth. Her team is also wonderful to work with and Emma Ashley in particular made the whole journey such a pleasure. From going out of her way to accommodate me, always willing to help so promptly - I feel really fortunate to have had this experience. Thank you team.

a year agoFive stars are not enough for someone as exceptional as Claire. Nor are there words to express how forever grateful I am for her care and dedication throughout my second and third pregnancies (I only wish I’d known about her for my first). I have also been impressed by the support and kindness shown by her admin team, especially her PA Emma. I knew they were all cheering me on as I was in labour! Claire is not just a fantastic doctor but an incredibly kind and compassionate person who has that rare combination of excellent medical knowledge plus a great bedside manner. I feel extremely fortunate to have found her and would highly recommend her to anyone.

3 years agoMiss Mellon and the whole team are just amazing! Everyone is so welcoming, polite and efficient. Plus, the practice itself is just gorgeous and comfortable.I felt well taken care of throughout my pregnancy and delivery. As for Miss Mellon herself, she was absolutely great! On top of her top class skills and experience, she is such a kind and humble person. It was not easy for me to choose the obstetrician and I saw several doctors. When I met Claire, I felt very comfortable and reassured from my first appointment and I knew straight away that she should deliver my baby. She always explained everything so well and made excellent recommendations for all my issues. She led the delivery of the baby so smoothly and efficiently that it turned out to be nothing but a beautiful experience. I'm very grateful to her and the team and can't recommend her enough.

2 years ago**Exceptional Care from Claire and Team** Where do I begin! Leaving a review for Claire feels insufficient to truly express my gratitude. Claire has completely surpassed my understanding and expectations of what a consultant should be. Claire cared for me during both of my pregnancies (only a year apart) and gave me a level of confidence that no other consultant had provided. Her extremely warm and likable personality, combined with her professionalism, ensured the highest quality of care. Her unmatched knowledge of women's bodies and childbirth allowed me to take the lead in my care, resulting in two amazing birth experiences. My husband, who is notoriously difficult to impress, praises Claire to anyone who asks. If I am fortunate enough to become pregnant again, there is nowhere I would feel safer than with Claire and her team. Her team is also extremely professional, personable, and supportive. Special thanks to Emma Ashley, who advocated for me during a difficult time in my second pregnancy. Despite being four hours away from Portland, Emma ensured I received the necessary care for an iron infusion at an NHS hospital. Thank you, Claire, and your entire team, for your exceptional care and support.
