Reviews
I could not recommend Dr Maddalena Miele-Norton more; she is compassionate, kind and sensitive. I value her care enormously and have been very grateful for her guidance, support and care.
Very helpful, caring and knowledgeable
I met dr Miele while experiencing one of the most difficult moments of my life, having given birth to a very premature baby. Dr Miele has supported me to process the trauma and offered me a lot of useful and invaluable insights and advice to keep going and overcome all the challenges I was facing, including some practical ones. Something which really impressed me since the first meeting is her high level of empathy and the ability to create strong connections with her patients. You know you can trust her straight away. I believe Dr Miele is not only a great professional, but also a fantastic person who really cares for her patients. I always felt listened to while talking to her and I would advocate Dr Miele to anyone who is struggling with pregnancy/post partum related issues.
I cannot recommend Dr Miele more highly - she has gone above and beyond the call of duty in her care and is clearly absolutely amazing at her job. Dr Miele is unbelievably knowledgeable, approachable, understanding and patient. I immediately felt that I was in the best hands and that Dr Miele would be able to put me on the road to recovery.
Dr Miele obviously really cares about her patients and does everything in her power to help them.
