**Highly Recommended ** We would like to say a big thank you to Cathy and Kay at the Chelmsford Clinic. We have been to the clinic 4 times, had 2 Early pregnancy scans (9 & 12 weeks) , 1 Reassurance scan (17weeks) and on Saturday we had the basic 4D Scan (29 Weeks). Every time we have been to them we have had a wonderful, warm, friendly and professional service. I would recommend them to anyone who wants any kind of reassurance during their pregnancy and also for those who just want a glimpse at or to bond with their baby. I have been recommending them to friends and family and will 100% be returning should we be fortunate to have another baby in the future. . Thank you Ladies for such a wonderful experience xx
I treated my daughter to a 4D scan last week (12th December) at the Marlow clinic- I can honestly say that I have never spent a better £95!! We had an incredible half hour watching her baby son frowning, yawning and moving gently in his secret world, completely oblivious to the fact that his mother, aunt and grandmother were all watching and had all immediately fallen in love with him. We have an album of wonderful photos to cherish, and we can't wait to meet him in February. If you are wondering whether to have a 4D scan I would urge you to book now - it's completely magical, and worth every penny.
we had our scan at the chelmsford clinic and what a fab expericance, we booked the gender scan at 18 weeks and found out we are having a little girl :) was amazing to see her on a full screen instead of a tiny one where u can just make out whats what we also had a sneak preview in 4d but our il princess decided to keep putting her hands over her face, we will 100% be booking another one around the 30 week mark :) x
Just wanted to say a huge thank you to Kay at The Baby Scan Studio in Chelmsford! We had an amazing experience this morning with our 4D Baby Basic package. Our baby was a little awkward but Kay was so patient and still managed to get some very cute shots. Would recommend to anyone :)
We had our 4D scan with Kay yesterday @ chelmsford branch. This is the 2nd scan that we have had with Kay and she is such a nice lady who accomodates in whatever way she can. We took along friends and family and they were all welcome which is really nice. It took a while to get the baby to position right but kay persevered and we got some lovely photos in the end. Nothing is too much trouble and with this being our 1st it has really allowed us to bond with bubba : )
We had our 4D scan on Saturday 22nd October at Chelmsford. Although baby had hands and feet over face for the start eventually we managed to get some really good images of our little one. It was a fantastic experience and would not hesitate in recommending The Baby Scan Studio.
Thank you so much!
We attempted our 4d scan on the 8th October but as i have 3 big fibroids it was really difficult to get any pics at all. The ladies at Chelmsford were so patient and we all tried everything to get some decent pics but to no avail. I was booked in again for 10 days time to see if bubs was in a different position and hey presto it worked. It was still a bit difficult but we got some amazng pics of our baby and it was a great experience. All I can say is we were made to feel ralxed and welcome and the ladies were so patient. We would definately do this again if we go for no.2. It was fab to get a sneaky preview of how our baby will look and cant wait to meet him/her.
Thanks again x
We had our 4D scan with Cathy yesterday and have to say that we were amazed at the great pictures. Not only could we see everything, we had the the 100% gender confirmation which we really wanted as we were told it would be a girl by the NHS, although they would not garuntee. Cathy was brilliant, really calm and did not rush us at all. We had a longer appointment than we thought we had booked for which was fantastic as it meant we got to see our baby girl for longer.
I would really recommend everyone to do this scan, it was the most amazing experience we have had with our baby. I cant say enough great things about Cathy, she was brilliant. We will really cherish these pictures. Everyone has commented on how great they are too!
This really is money well spent and we would not hesitate to return to Cathy for any future scanning....we are absolutley thrilled with the results.
Thank you!!!!
We would just like to say a massive thank you to Cathy who done our NTscan on the 1st of sept ( a little late but the websire wouldn't work for us :s) it was the best scan I've ever had and was lovely to see our baby on the big telly moving around, Cathy was great explaining everything on the baby i.e Organs ect.
We have our next scan with Cathy on the 20th of Oct when we find out the sex of our baby and i'll be half way through 'yay' :) were very excited and can't wait for the whole experience again, and for our son to come in the room with us and see the baby for the first time to.
We would defiantly recommend it.
Thanks again!!! x x
Thank you so much for our wonderful pictures and exciting view of our little baby boy, i would like to say that Claire who was training on the day of our scan gave us some really detialed and lovely pictures of our baby even though he kept putting his hands in the way!!
It truely was the best expierence we have had and i would have 4D scan again.
Thanks again !!
(4D basic scan on 24 Sept in Chelmsford)
"Thank you so much for helping our upcoming baby to meet with us via 4D and 3D scan as a medium, We litterally enjoyed and seen our cute baby in very easy and clear way with much guidence provided by the staff, Its an outstanding technology, one has to experience the same:)))))))"
Thank you so much for the wonderful experience we had with you on 27 August in Marlow. We were made to feel very welcome and enjoyed seeing our baby girl in 4D at 23 weeks. We had the Basic 4D package and will certainly think about coming back again before the due date for another look!
We will certainly be recommending you to our friends and family.
We had our 4D Bonding scan at the CHELMSFORD office. Was one of the most amazing experience. Cathy was very adament on getting the best shot and in fact she got 59! Was amazing to see what my little boy will look like even though he was playing games and not putting his hands away from his face!
We thank you for this experience and making it so special.
Will definetely recommend you to other people.
Thanks again!
Very happy mum and dad to be!
Just wanted to say what a great service. We really enjoyed the experience.
Thanks.
Thanks for you help today, glad to see bump was going ok.. 6 weeks today!
i will defo come back in the future
We had the baby basic 4D package and could not be happier. Despite our little one being particularly awkward for the 4d pictures, the sonographer was very patient with us and didn't hesitate to offer us a rescan when we couldnt get the pictures we wanted. At the rescan, despite baby still being awkward, a lot of time was spent on us getting the pictures. Finally, we have the most clear and amazing pictures of out beautiful boy and we couldn't be happier. Thank you so much for the time and patience you spent on us. We will not hesitate to recommend you to all our friends.
We had a reasurrance scan at 10 weeks as we had a missed miscarriage with a previous baby and wanted to find out if everything was fine before going home to the family for Christmas and letting them know. Our experience was amazing, we were made to feel at welcome and put at ease. We saw the heartbeat for the very first time, the sonographer was great and spent plenty of time getting us some beautiful pics, the best Christmas pressie anyone could ask for. Now we have a healthy baby boy!
Thank you so much, we both really recommend the service to anyone!
We had a 4d basic package done at the marlow clinic at 27 weeks. It was on our 6th wedding anniversary and it was the most amazing way to celebrate the occasion. We got to see our gorgeous lil princess up close and she performed very nicely for myself and my husband. We would recommend having this done to all parents to be..it is worth every penny and so much more..and the photos are priceless. This is our second child and i wished i had it done with my first as it is a wonderful experience.
We would like to thank Cathy for the relaxed and not rushed atmosphere..and the most perfect photos of our lil princess..that will cherish and keep cooing over until she arrives x
Just wanted to say how pleased we were with the basic 4d scan that we had done at the weekend! I would defintly recommend it to anyone! We didnt want to know the sex so Jo the sonographer was very careful not to show us bits we didnt want to see! We are so pleased with the pictures we took away with us and must say it makes everything feel very real!!
We had the 4d Baby Basic scan today and were amazed by the results of the scan! Baby Wheat not only put on a little show for us but we were able to see that we are having a little boy!
The reception was welcoming and the staff were all very friendly, this combined with the excellent facilities made the scan a wonderful experience that we would recommend to anyone!
Thank you so much,
Karen and Darren (and both Nanas!)
We had gender scan on the 18th of June 2011.It was amazing experience.We thought it's a boy but we actually met our gorgeous baby girl!!!Staff was really nice and experienced and atmosphere was really friendly.We would deffinately recomend the studio to all my friends!!!Thank you very much for everything:))
We just had a reassurance scan, combining both regular ultrasound and 4D at 22weeks at the colchester clinic. we have 3 boys, youngest son a muscle condition and i was keen to closley monitor this pregnancy. V was not only very professional, but also caring and understanding.
As we arrived, we recieved a warm friendly reception, the waiting area and scan room were both comfortable and relaxed. The whole experience was explained in detail, and all our concerns/ questions were answered.
The scan itself totally amazed us both, especialy the 4D, we were pleased to be told we're having a little girl and could clearly see she has her dad's nose and lips.
Best of all we have a DVD to show our boys their new baby sister, who they now cant wait to meet.
We would totally recomend this clinic to anyone, the experience was amazing and the service exeptional.
We had an early scan at 8 wks 4 days as I was still in shock that I was pregnant! My husband and I both felt nervous, but Veronica was wonderful and our baby showed up pn the big screen as soon as she put the probe on my tummy. Seeing the baby's heartbeat and arms waving around was truely magical!
Being able to date the pregnancy correctly meant that I could change the date of my nucal scan accordingly.
I am planning to come back at about 17 weeks, as I just want to see the baby again in the gap between the 12 and 20 week scan on the nhs. Having the pictures and DVD meant we could share the moment with family members which was wonderful!
we went for a 4d baby scan today in the hope that we wuld be told it was a girl .
unfortunatly its a boy ,but rather than dissapointment we were happy because after we were told the sex we got to meet him and see his little bum chin and button nose . hes gorgeous and we cant wait to meet him !
its no rush job either ,they go through everything in such great detail and explain step by step what there looking at ..
would reccomend anyone to go to this clinic for a wonderfull experience ..
Just got back from an amazing 4D scan experience at the Colchester studio. Cathy made my Mum, partner and I feel very welcome. Cathy spent a good while explaining what she could see in amazing detail and we didnt feel rushed. Luckily, my son was on form and posed throughout the whole things so we got some amazing pictures of him and Cathy gave us all the time we needed to choose the ones we wanted for our colour prints.
I am definately going to recommend Cathy to friends who are expecting. Money well spent on a once in a lifetime amazing experience!
Would recommend to people, very personal service, professional and thorough, great pictures and lots of ! Cathy makes youfeel very welcome and gives a warm and friendly service.
We visited the clinic recently for an early scan (at 8 weeks) to seek reassurance following some bleeding and abdominal cramps. Cathy was extremely sensitive and professional and and took great care to explain, in plain speak, what she could see on the scan and what that meant in terms of the health of our tiny embryo. We were delighted with the service we received and would thoroughly recommend Cathy and the Scan Studio to those who find themselves in similar circumstances.
I had seen some 4d pictures before but was not expecting it to be so clear. The pictures and DVD are amazing and Cathy made it a truely wonderful experience talking us through it. I was nervous before I went and Cathy made me feel at ease and was very patient when baby was in the wrong position!
I would definatly recommend to friends!
Thanks again
Maria
Highly recommended!
We visited Baby Scan Studio to confirm the gender/ position of the baby.
Cathy was truly amazing - patient, experienced and full of expertise.
She made me feel relaxed and was happy to answer any questions.
Thank you Cathy for such a great experience!
I have to say Cathy is absolutley wonderful! I cannot fault her service. Each time I visited her she never failed to put my mind at rest. She spent at least 30 minutes scanning me and describing everything we saw on screen in immense detail. Not only that she is warm, friendly and genuinly cares about you and your baby. I will most definitley ve revisiting in a few weeks time when my baby is big enough for a 3d scan!
Thank you Cathy, you truly are wonderful at what you do!
My Mum died of Ovarian Cancer 5 years ago so I went to see my GP to see about being tested. My GP said I was too young to be checked and that I needed to be in my forties.Fortunately I spoke to Cathy and she fitted me in straight away for a scan.
I was amazed at the speed of the appointment and how clearly Cathy explained everything to me in detail. I could see the scan on the screen and it all made sense. Cathy saw a small cyst on one Ovary and she explained that it was a normal cyst - to do with my cycle. She advised a follow-up scan in 2-3 months to check, which I had and it was gone as she had predicted!
I feel very reassured and would recommend CS Partners to anyone.
I have had a coil for two years with no problems. Then things started to feel different and wrong. My GP said it could be an ovarian cyst, ectopic pregnancy or a deep seated infection. A scan was mentioned at my GP appointment but not arranged. As I was worried I contacted Cathy to have a gynaecological scan to check my coil position, ovaries and uterus. The scan was very reassuring. I was quite worried about having it done, but there was nothing to worry about! Cathy put me at my ease. She explained what we could see on the screen and it was really interesting! It has given me a peace of mind which my GP hadn't! I really appreciated the reassurance!
Many thanks,
Sarah
Being able to make a next day appointment with Cathy saved 6 weeks worth of worrying whilst waiting for an NHS appointment.
Cathy's wealth of experience is very hugely reasurring and as well as giving proper medical terms for what she saw Cathy also explained what that meant in everyday language so that I could understand it.
The scan is carried out with care and dignity and the report was invaluable, giving me information with which I can make informed choices.
Many thanks Cathy, I have recommended you to everyone I know.
I visited Cathy at the Baby Scan Studio in August after my Breast Cancer Consultant told me that my cancer may have spread to my ovaries. This was an incredibly worrying time for me and I did not want to have to wait weeks for a hospital appointment. Thankfully, Cathy booked me into her clinic within a day of my call and was very pleasant and informative over the phone.
Cathy was great...incredibly warm and extremely knowledgeable. My ovaries proved a little difficult to find but she took her time and checked them thoroughly. I'm very pleased to report that they were both clear !
Thank you so much for providing such a professional and caring service, Cathy, I cannot recommend you high enough.
We had a 4D Gold Bonding Scan Package that was originally booked in the Denham clinic, but we couldn't wait so we arranged to go to Marlow at an earlier date. The scan, was absolutely incredible! Cathy explained everything before we saw our baby, and during the scan, all of our babies body parts were shown and explained to us in detail. We already knew the gender of our child and Cathy told us not to tell her so she could see if the 'bits' matched up, and, sure enough, we got it confirmed that he is definitely a little boy! We would recommend this scan experience to anyone and everyone. It was unreal. We feel like we have bonded with our son on a deeper level and have some absolutely amazing pictures and memories from the day that we were in there. Also, It was so lovely to feel like we were the only couple in the world. There was no rush, no hurrying. Time was taken with every part of our scan. Even down to choosing our pictures, to be framed.
We could go on talking about our scan, forever, because it was perfect. There are no other words for it. A huge thank you to Cathy for making our experience even more special than what it already was. We will definitely be coming back in the future, and recommending to friends and family. Thank you, once again.
All our love, Lyns, Sam & Our precious little bump, Lyam x X x
Decided to have a gender scan at the new Colchester studio last week and we're really pleased we did! Gill was our sonographer and she was absolutely lovely - it was such a wonderful experience spending quality time looking at our baby and she really explained everything that we wanted to know very clearly. It's also really helped to make things a lot more realistic and helped us to bond with our little one. The best bit is that we haven't told anyone else - it's our little secret! Thank you so much, a really fantastic, personal service x x x
WOW !! we are SO happy we decided to have the bonding scan package at 26 weeks, we got everything and more out of this appointment. Cathy's heart is really in her job and you can really feel her excitement and enjoyment throughout the scan.
The bonding package really is what it says on the tin, it really does bring you so much closer to your unborn child and makes the whole situation reality!
Worth every penny and i would recommend this to anyone !
Cathy thankyou for making this all the more special for us.
Stacey, Chris and Baby Girl McCord
We decided to pay for a private scan as the 20 week scan we had through NHS did not reveal with great certainty whether we were having a girl or a boy due to the baby's position. As I had lost my mother few months ago, I was really hoping for a little girl and could not wait until birth to find out.
Cathy was lovely, friendly and very supportive. We enjoyed looking our cute little baby at the screen and we were extremely happy when Cathy confirmed we will have a little girl. Cathy produced a number of images for us which we took back home (Greece) and shared with our families. They are so far away that this was the only opportunity for them to have a first glance of our cute little baby girl.
Thanks once again to Cathy for the lovely images and for making this experience enjoyable for us.
Kindest regards,
Marian+Giorgos+cute little bump
We decided to have a 4D scan package and traveled for an hour to get the the Marlow clinic. It was worth it! To see our little boy on the screen was one of the most emotional experiences of our lives and we cant stop looking at the pictures. We can not recommend enough having a 4D scan as this is not only amazing but has helped in the bonding process. The Marlow clinic was great - professional and caring.
Hi Cathy,
We just wanted to express our extreme gratitude for your patience and perseverance - we cannot tell you how pleased we were with our scan experience(s) and the kind, thorough and caring manner with which you dealt with us.
Seeing our beautiful little girl in 3D/4D format truly was a gift - despite her being rather uncooperative to begin with :o) - and an experience we will cherish always.
I know this sounds 'gushy' but I think credit where it is due and it is not very often these days that you come across the level of service that makes you want to shout about it. We are so pleased that we chose to come to you, the service was not only exceptional, but extremely good value. You do an amazing job and are clearly very well suited to what you do.
Thank you so much
Sherri, Justin & Little E Hind
We decided to look at the possibility of paying to have a private scan at 15 weeks, because I have suffered a "missed miscarriage" previously, and although I was given early scans via the NHS, once I reached 12 weeks I was dis-charged and my next scan would be at 20 weeks. For me I felt this is a long time to wait and really needed reassurance, at a time in pregnancy when the sickness has faded, and you still can't feel baby moving.
We initially chose the Baby Scan Studio, as when I called for advise and information Cathy was very kind and very helpful. I had called other places offering such a service, and felt they did not care about my situation, and as my request did not sit within one of their pre-set packages they seemed unwilling to help.
The scan itself was worth every penny, it was very relaxed and informal. Cathy took time to explain every little detail, and we came away with a medical report, lovely pictures and a DVD of the monent too, but more importantly peace of mind.
We also took our son along to meet his brother or sister too, and unlike the NHS scans we had time to sit and look and he could ask questions in his own time.
My husband and I would recommend The Baby Scan Studio to anyone... I am now looking at the other packages so I can come back for another peek!
Cathy has been an absolute pleasure to deal with.
I had a 20 week scan and the time taken, coupled with Cathy's knowledge, led to a much more informative, reassuring and bonding experience with my baby girl.
I thoroughly recommend this experience.
I went for my Last Scan yesterday and it was excellent. i have some lovely photos.
thank you so much, i cant wait untill she is born to see if she is as stubborn as she has been. will send you some pictures.
Danielle & Chris xx
Cathy is Brilliant, we had a gender scan done with her. and a 4d scan.
our 4d scan is proving a little awkward due to the position of the baby and she likes eating her hands and covering her face. obviously shy!!
Cathy has offered to have a 3rd attempt this Thursday. fingers crossed she will let us see her this time!.
cathy has been very patient and has let us have 3 attemps. she is very nice and explains all measurement in detail. will be recommending her to everyone i know.
thank you
We attended The Baby Scan Studio in Marlow this morning, and we are so glad we did!
Cathy was lovely and provided us with her wealth of knowledge at what was an anxious time for us. We decided upon an early scan at 8wks due to medical complications. She made us both feel very comfortable, and explained everything.
This was very reassuring and I would not hesitate to recommend Cathy and The Baby Scan Studio.
Thank you so much Cathy!
We were 26 weeks pregnant when we went to the Baby Scan Studio in Marlow on Wednesday for our 4D scan. We were very impressed! Cathy was lovely and really took her time, even though our little boy wasn't too keen on showing us his face much she managed to get some brilliant pictures which have been admired by all our family and friends. Will definately recommend to others, and will be back when baby number 2 is on the way! Dvd was also a nice touch, wonderful to let friends and family see him moving and will be nice for him to see when he is older.
We had a lovely time, thankyou very much x
we really felt like seeing our baby in the 4d scan made us all feel closer it was reassuring and a really unique experience caty was so helpful and even though our little madame didnt want to cooperate we were invited back we couldnt of asked for a nicer experience I have already recommended cathy to friends and family and would most definatly go back in the future thank you xx
Hi Bev thank you for your nice comments. I am so pleased for you both about this pregnancy and I am glad that Pampa Sarkar and I have been able to help.It is difficult sometimes to get the individual attention in the NHS, especially when it is a difficult problem like recurrent early miscarriage. We hope to see you again at the Studio when you are further on in pregnancy. Best Wishes,
We were recommended Cathy by a family member who had some pictures done of their baby. We used the baby scan studio for other reasons than having pictures of our unborn baby. For the past three years we sufferd 3 miscarriages around about 6-7 weeks, unfortuantely we felt very let down by the consultant that we saw at our local hospital. The family member had mentioned to Cathy about my situation and she asked if we had been told about taken progesterone tablets which when approaching any doctors on NHS nobody wanted to know! As soon as we found out that we were pregnant again and knowing that this is my last chance due to my age, we arranged an appointment to see Cathy and her consultant. The appointment was very informal and P Sarker was lovely and really helpful and gave us encourgement she advised us that i start taking progesterone tablet straight away every night and also a low dosage of asprin. I am now 16 weeks pregnant!! We also decided to have the nuchal scan at the studio as we felt so at ease and comfortable the appointment last about an hour and we saw some lovely pictures of our baby and we have a dvd to look back on. Unfortunately my result has come back high risk and Cathy again has been able to give us advice and help us to make our decision. Even though there is the distance to travel I would not hesitate recommending Cathy to my friends.
Thank you again and we look forward to meeting our new baby in July.
Bevx
I had my scan done at 32 weeks and i can honestly say how pleased i am we went with The baby scan studio. Cathy was friendly, patient and professional. She made sure we go the most out of the whole experience we could and we go some amazing prints of our unborn baby boy!!
Thank you Cathy i'll be recommending you to everyone xxx
My husband and I had a fantastic experience at the Baby Scan Studio with Cathy. She is so professional and very personable. She made the whole experience something to be remembered.
Our baby was quite camera shy and Cathy had so much patience to ensure we recieved the best experience possible.
I would recomend Cathy to anyone who is thinking about having the scans. She is brilliant.
Mrs Ross.
I went along for my 4D scan when i was 28 weeks pregnant and i was totally amazed at the whole experience!! I couldn't believe what you could see, and how much, so clearly. My two children can't stop looking at the photos i brought home for them to see and they think the DVD is brilliant-they can't wait for the arrival of their new baby sister!! I will definately be recommending Cathy and The Baby Scan Studios to everyone in the future!!
A big "Thankyou" to Cathy for introducing me to my new baby daughter before she is even born x x
We had a presentation scan done in Marlow when I was 38 weeks. I had been told by my midwife a couple of weeks earlier that our baby may be breech so we wanted the scan to check if this was the case. The good news was that baby was head down and everything was as it should be. We would highly recommend this scan to people for the resassuarance and peace of mind it gives you.
The service we received was both personal and professional and Cathy was determined to get us some good pictures despite our rather camera shy baby!
We would highly recommend The Baby Scan Studio based on our experience.
Thank you Cathy for your patience and perserverance enabling some lovely pictures of our baby - although baby didn’t want to play initially-you worked really hard to get some excellent pictures!! The pictures are incredibly sharp and clear- especially of baby yawning! It was a privilege to see our baby so clearly and it was wonderful for my two year old little girl- makes it so real!
This is an amazing experience, very emotional and I can’t recommend it highly enough
Thank you again for a wonderful service and your professionalism and attentiveness
Just felt I needed to share the pleasure of the experience with anyone considering using The Baby Scan Studio.
My husband and I attended the scan with a bit of nervousness but Cathy quickly put us at ease and talked us through what she was doing from start to finish. What we experienced was our first true introduction to our unborn child. It was an amazing feeling and has merely added to the excitement of the impending birth.
I would thoroughly recommend them to anyone who is considering The Baby Scan Studio and have already got two friends booked up!
Thanks Cathy for everything!
Joanna x
O thanks Charlotte that’s a really nice thing to have said
"We had our 4D scan done at 38 weeks, which really gave us a sense of getting to know our baby and cementing our bond towards him before he arrived. We had thought we were expecting a boy which Cathy confirmed for us. With her medical background she was able to reassure us that he was in the correct presentation and had grown, and that within the scope of the scan everything seemed normal. It was amazing to see and hear the little heart beating in utero! Although he was very sleepy Cathy managed to gently rouse him and get some footage of him yawning and sucking his thumb. We were also told he had some hair, and we could count 10 little fingers and 10 little toes!
Seeing his face was definitely the most exciting and emotional part. Now that Jacob is born its fun to look at the lovely prints and movie we were
given and see the resemblance! It will always be a treasured memento for us and also for him when he is older.
We will recommend your service to all our friends who have babies in the future, and who knows, we may return ourselves one day. Thank you so much Cathy"

Had a 4d scan yesterday, at 25 weeks and 4 days. It was an amazing end to 2011. Kay was lovely and we have some great pictures of our baby. Thank you so much and Happy New Year.
