Etienne's expertise, support and guidance throughout the whole process from pregnancy, birth, to post-birth was priceless!

Dr Horner delivered my twin boys and I can't thank him enough. He took me on as a patient from overseas and made the transition seamless, and he always worked to make things easier given my long commute. He's patient, listens, and answers every question. When I had a complication after delivery, he followed up constantly and brought in the best resources until I was fully recovered. Dr Horner combines real expertise with genuine care and I cannot recommend him highly enough.

I have known Mr Horner for 9 years now and he has delivered all 3 of my children. He was a calming and reassuring influence throughout all my pregnancies, even when things got challenging (as the labour of my firstborn became).

He is a first-rate doctor, with a mastery of his specialty, whilst having a good bedside manner which ensures a good relationship is built between doctor and patient.

I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone for their care during pregnancy.

Dr Horner swept into the delivery room, having sped across London on his motorbike, just in time to deliver our baby girl as she decided to make an unexpectedly quick entrance after a long induction. It was a very fitting finale to an anxious first pregnancy — a rollercoaster ride of (mostly maternal) emotions.

From the beginning, Dr Horner met us exactly where we were. He was thorough and determined when abnormal findings needed investigating, but equally happy to let nature take its course when everything was reassuring.

What we appreciated most was his judgement. Dr Horner is decisive when intervention is genuinely needed, but never intervenes simply for the sake of it. He has the experience and, more importantly, the wisdom to know the difference.

We could not have asked for a better obstetrician to guide us through our first pregnancy and birth. We are enormously grateful to Dr Horner for his care, reassurance, humour and calm confidence throughout what was, at times, a rather eventful nine months.

Mr Horner looked after me throughout all three of my pregnancies and delivered each of my three children, and I genuinely could not recommend him more highly.

Over the years, I have always felt incredibly fortunate to have him looking after me. His expertise, experience and clinical judgement are exceptional, but what I valued just as much was the confidence and calm he brought to every situation. No matter what came up, he had an extraordinary ability to make me feel completely reassured and safe. I trusted his judgement implicitly and always felt that I was in the very best hands.

He combines that expertise with a warmth, kindness and level of personal care that is very rare. Throughout each of my pregnancies, he was incredibly available and responsive whenever I needed him, whether it was for an important concern or simply for reassurance. I always felt completely listened to and cared for.

Pregnancy and childbirth inevitably bring moments of uncertainty, and having a doctor whose expertise you trust completely, and who approaches those moments with such calm confidence, makes an enormous difference.

After three pregnancies and three deliveries together, Mr Horner has inevitably become someone very special to me and my family. I will always be enormously grateful for the care he has given me through some of the most important moments of my life, and I truly cannot imagine having gone through them with anyone else.

I've been a patient of Dr Etienne Horner's for over ten years. He looked after me through the birth of both my children, and I've continued seeing him ever since for my gynaecological care.

Dr Horner goes above and beyond for his patients. He always considers what's truly best for me, and takes the time to tailor his communication to my needs and personality — a skill I've come to really appreciate. I've always valued his direct way of communicating; it's exactly what suits me. As someone who works as a doctor myself, I felt the weight of decision-making in a way many patients might not, and Dr Horner took that pressure off me by carefully weighing all the factors and guiding me through each decision.

What stands out most is how genuinely he cares. You can see the true joy he takes in bringing babies into the world — it shows on his face every time. He's always keen to know how I'm getting on, and every appointment with him is honestly a highlight.

I also have to mention his secretary, Ally, who has been amazing throughout. She's always available and a kind ear at the end of the phone, genuinely caring and always doing what's best for me. She helps me navigate the logistics and makes everything so much easier — she's just so genuinely lovely.

I feel fortunate to have had Dr Horner as my consultant for over a decade, and I continue to look forward to being looked after by him for years to come.

Etienne safely delivered my second son a couple of weeks ago. Neither of my pregnancies were particularly straightforward, however, Etienne ensured that we received the best care, attention and expertise at all times.

He is very patient and very personable. Nothing is too much trouble and everything is discussed! He makes sure that nothing is left to chance and prompts you to remember to tell him everything (very few of my friends have had this experience with their doctors).

In both pregnancies he made the correct decisions at exactly the right times and we are blessed to have two gorgeous sons. We will always be extremely grateful to Etienne and his fab team at 132 Harley Street.

I was very lucky to have Dr Horner as my doctor during both my pregnancies. His guidance and expert advice through the journey was absolutely outstanding. I remember during labour, both times, seeing Dr Horner walk into the delivery room was like a pain relief in itself! I always felt I was in very safe hands.

Thank you and all the very best for the future!

It has been a while, but I will never forget Dr Horner. In fact, I was browsing the website, because I am telling my friend all about Dr Horner as she is looking for an OB.

My first pregnancy was very difficult and I was apprehensive for the first few months, until I met Dr Horner. He was amazing, very professional, and everything I needed for the rest of my pregnancy.

The delivery was fast, calm, I would say amazing! I had the best Dr and couldn't have asked for a better one.

Thank you ever so much Dr Horner.

Freddy is now 3 and very healthy.
