Dr Digesu has been incredible! He is caring and understanding. He gives you all the facts and really makes you feel calm and reassured. I have gone to see many doctors in the past and he by far has been the most knowledgeable and caring I have ever met.

I have been with Doctor Digesu for the past 9 months and what a joy to have been her patient. I have been suffering from urinary tract infection all my life. Since he has treated me I have been infection free and had my life back. I would recommend him to anyone!

Dr Digesu is also my obstetrician and I do agree he is the most amazing Doctor I have ever met. He helped me when I was pregnant 7 months ago and saved my life when I had preclampsia. He knows what to do and how to take care of his patients. Dr Digesu has always been kind and sweet to me and it has been a joy being his patient. I am so grateful and delighted to have chosen Dr Digesu as my obstetrician.

I always wanted to deliver at Lindo Wing in view of its reputation. I was so confused when Lindo Wing provided us the list of Consultants as I did not have any idea who to pick. When we met Dr Digesu, both me and my husband were very impressed. He was very attentive, answered any and every question that we had. He made me feel comfortable and that he was willing to listen to me. We feel so lucky to have chosen Dr Digesu as our obstetrician. He delivered our son three months ago and it was a smooth birth. Great Doctor. Highly recommended.

I have been coming to Dr Digesu for years! He has delivered my girl 4 years ago and now I am pregnant with my boy. Like most we have had our ups and downs with pregnancy but Dr Digesu has truly been there for me. We are so grateful to have met Dr Digesu and have him as my obstetrician. The most kind, sympathetic, understating, and knowledgeable Doctor I have ever met. The front desk provide excellent customer services, nice office and nice people. Simply they are the BEST! I highly would recommend Dr Digesu too, especially for high risk pregnancies.

Dr. Digesu is an amazing doctor. He has been my doctor for years and I highly recommend him. I have seen a lots of doctors before visiting Dr Digesu but no one knowledgeable like him. When he took care of me during my pregnancy, I had full trust in him. Dr Digesu has always been compassionate, kind, friendly, and always an excellent doctor. He always took care of me as an individual, and he has always been very respectful to my personal needs and wishes. Dr Digesu’s staff is so friendly and always willing to help specially Hanan. If there is more than 5 stars I would give them 100 stars. Thank you Dr Digesu for all your efforts.
