“I delivered my baby at Coptic and had a VIP experience in the maternity wing. Services were prompt and the team was professional throughout labour and after. Would recommend to anyone looking for maternity care in Nairobi.”

“One of the most trustworthy hospitals in Kenya — they don’t hike prices and give a clear bill for exactly what you were treated for. Great doctors, clean facility, and even a decent affordable restaurant on site.”

“Doctors and theatre team were excellent for my surgery, but nursing care on the surgical ward needs improvement — response times were slow at times and some staff came across as disengaged. The core medical care was good; the ward experience could be better.”

“Went for a root canal at the Industrial Area branch. Dentist was friendly and professional, and pricing was clearly explained upfront. Waiting time before getting attended to could be quicker on busy mornings, but the treatment itself was well done.”
