Book an initial consultationOur most comprehensive option, supporting you from early pregnancy through delivery and beyond.
Ideal for patients transferring care or seeking specialised support in the final trimester.
Balanced care starting from the midpoint of your pregnancy through delivery and recovery.
Every package includes complete delivery care - vaginal, assisted, or planned/emergency caesarean section - personalised birth planning with elective C-section preparation, two comprehensive postpartum consultations, and direct mobile access to Mr Myriknas throughout your care.
Beyond standard obstetric packages, Mr Myriknas offers highly specialist services that draw patients from across the UK and internationally.
For patients with cervical insufficiency - whether identified during this pregnancy or following a history of loss - Mr Myriknas offers the full spectrum of cerclage procedures. This includes transvaginal cerclage (TVC) at 12–16 weeks, emergency cerclage when shortening is detected, and pre-pregnancy transabdominal cerclage (TAC) for those for whom vaginal placement is no longer possible.

Mr Myriknas has developed and published an innovative forceps delivery technique designed to dramatically reduce the risk of severe tearing. Rather than rushing, the technique allows time for the perineum to stretch naturally, moves the forceps in a curve that follows the birth canal, and avoids applying force against resistance.
The results speak for themselves - patients describe second-degree tears where surgery would typically have resulted in far worse, and several report no tearing or episiotomy at all after 40+ hours of labour.

Mr Myriknas is a native Greek speaker with complete fluency in medical terminology in both languages. For Greek-speaking patients in London, this means discussing your history, your concerns, and your birth plan without the barrier of translation - in the language in which you think and feel most clearly.
He has served the Greek community in London for over 15 years, and understands the cultural context that often shapes how patients approach pregnancy and private care.
Greek-speaking careIn addition to care packages, Mr Myriknas offers a range of individual services for those who already have antenatal care in place or need a specific element of support. Please contact us for detailed pricing.
Comprehensive consultations for gynaecological concerns, pre-pregnancy planning, antenatal care, and postpartum follow-ups. Each appointment provides personalised attention to your specific needs.
Book a ConsultationFor patients who have their antenatal care in place and wish to have Mr Myriknas perform their planned caesarean section personally. Payment in full is required to confirm and book your date.
Request InformationFit to fly letters, employer correspondence, and other clinical letters require a short private consultation with Mr Myriknas before they can be issued.
Request a LetterFor consultations and care packages, an invoice is issued after your appointment. Payment is due within two weeks of the invoice date.
Planned caesarean sections and cervical cerclage procedures require payment in full before your date is confirmed and booked.
Maternity services are not typically covered by private health insurance. We ask patients to settle fees directly and we will assist with any claim you wish to make to your insurer.
Hospital stays, ultrasound scans, blood tests, and anaesthetist fees are charged separately and billed directly by the relevant provider - not by this practice.
We aim to respond to all enquiries within one working day. In most cases we can offer an initial appointment within the week, though this varies with availability. If your situation is urgent, for example, cervical shortening detected on a scan, please say so when you contact us and we will do our best to prioritise accordingly.
The initial consultation is a focused clinical conversation lasting around 30 to 45 minutes. Mr Myriknas will review your medical history, any previous pregnancies, existing scan or test results, and your current concerns. From there he will outline what care would look like for you and which package or service best fits your situation. There is no obligation to proceed on the day. If you have existing notes or scans from your GP, midwife, or another provider, please bring these with you or have them sent ahead where possible.
Yes, absolutely. Partners are welcome at all consultations and at the delivery. Many patients find it helpful to have their partner present, particularly at the initial consultation where care planning is discussed. If you are attending alone and would like a follow-up conversation with your partner included, that can easily be arranged.
Your package covers all consultations with Mr Myriknas at the scheduled intervals, his personal attendance at your delivery, and two postpartum follow-up appointments. It does not include ultrasound scans, blood tests, anaesthetist fees, hospital overnight stays, or charges from other specialists. These are billed separately by the hospital or the relevant provider. A deposit is required to confirm your place after your initial consultation, with the remainder payable before your delivery.
Yes. This is very common. The second and third trimester packages are specifically designed for patients transferring from NHS or another private provider. You do not need to have been with Mr Myriknas from the beginning. The initial consultation will review your existing notes, scans, and history so care continues seamlessly from where you are.
Yes. Mr Myriknas has extensive experience in high-risk obstetrics including gestational diabetes, hypertensive disorders, hyperemesis gravidarum, twin pregnancies, VBAC, and recurrent miscarriage. He also specialises in cervical insufficiency and cerclage for patients who have experienced late loss or preterm birth. If you have a complex history, the initial consultation is the right place to discuss your specific circumstances and what care would look like for you.
Mr Myriknas attends every delivery personally, regardless of where you are in your journey. If labour begins earlier than expected, you contact him directly via mobile and he will be there. The delivery element of your care is not contingent on completing all antenatal appointments first.
Yes. All patients have direct mobile access to Mr Myriknas throughout their care. If you have a concern between appointments, whether it is a symptom, a scan result, or simply a question, you can contact him directly. This is one of the core differences between private and NHS care, and something Mr Myriknas considers an essential part of his commitment to his patients.
Yes. Following your initial consultation, a deposit is required to confirm your place with Mr Myriknas. The remainder of the package fee is due before your delivery date. For planned procedures such as a caesarean section or cervical cerclage, payment in full is required before your date is confirmed and booked. Full details will be provided at the time of booking.
For consultations and care packages, an invoice is issued after your appointment and payment is due within two weeks of the invoice date. For planned procedures, full payment is required in advance. We accept bank transfer and major credit and debit cards. Please contact us directly if you would like to discuss payment arrangements.
Maternity services are not typically covered by private health insurance, as most policies exclude routine obstetric care. However, some elements, such as consultations for gynaecological concerns or specific procedures, may be covered depending on your policy. We recommend checking directly with your insurer before your first appointment. We are happy to provide the relevant procedure codes to help you do this.
Yes. We ask patients to settle fees directly with the practice, and we will then assist you with any claim you wish to make to your insurer. We can provide itemised invoices and the relevant clinical codes required by most insurers. Please let us know at the time of booking if you intend to claim and we will make sure everything is documented appropriately.

Deliveries are also conducted at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital, which has dedicated private maternity facilities. It is a major London teaching hospital with full neonatal and intensive care provision, ensuring the highest level of safety for both mother and baby.

I wish to commend Mr Stelios Myriknas for his exceptional professionalism and pioneering approach during the delivery of my daughter. After over 48 hours of active labour without progression beyond 9.5 cm dilation, Mr Myriknas employed an innovative forceps technique that required no additional intervention - remarkably eliminating the need for an episiotomy. His clinical expertise was evident throughout, but what truly distinguished his care was his calm, reassuring presence during a highly challenging situation.

I had my TAC stitch placed by the wonderful Mr Stelios at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital in May 2021, following a self-referral I made the previous December. From the very beginning, Mr Stelios was exceptional. He explained every aspect of the procedure, including all risks and next steps, with such clarity and compassion. What truly set him apart was how far he went beyond his formal responsibilities. He personally communicated with my IVF consultant at another hospital to discuss the potential risks of a twin pregnancy, ensuring that every decision was made with my safety in mind.

Mr Stelios may I start by saying thank you so much. Your knowledge, kindness and bedside manner were so reassuring to me during my HG pregnancy. You offered invaluable insights and showed a genuine care to me as your patient. You always took the time to make me feel like any concerns I had were valid and talked through. Thank you for creating such a calming pathway for me to my Caesarian section I would recommend your care to anyone.

From the very first interaction through to my C-section and beyond, the level of care, compassion, and professionalism I received was truly exceptional. He stepped in to perform my C-section at short notice, and from that moment I felt completely safe, listened to, and reassured. What sets him apart is not just his clinical expertise - which was faultless - but his genuine kindness and calm presence.

An extraordinary doctor and a true angel on earth. I was blessed to be under the care of Dr Stelios Myriknas throughout my pregnancy and for my C-section, and I honestly could not have wished for a better consultant. From the very beginning, he gave me confidence, trust, and genuine care, the kind that makes you feel safe, seen, and valued as a person, not just a patient. He went far beyond what was expected of him. Even when he was due to go on holiday, he stayed to perform my C-section surgery himself and made sure I was completely fine before leaving.

Mr Myriknas was a colleague of mine at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital. I chose him to deliver my baby, owing to his exceptional clinical expertise and kind, considerate manner with patients and midwives. It was a privilege to have him as my doctor; I feel incredibly lucky that he was there and to have had such a positive experience.

Mr Myriknas is an amazing doctor, compassionate and friendly, with excellent bedside manners. He explained everything clearly and patiently to me and made me feel safe and valued. Most importantly, he performed his own technique on me, using forceps but avoiding not only performing an episiotomy but also any significant trauma.

I found Dr Stelios via a Facebook group after going through some issues with an incompetent cervix. I met with him at Chelsea hospital and his warm friendly personality really put me at ease. I was booked in for a transabdominal cerclage procedure with him shortly after, and he delivered my first baby by c section.

You may not remember me but on the 21st of November you put in an emergency cervical stitch. Thanks to your amazing skills and professionalism, I made it to 36 weeks! Thank you so much for saving my pregnancy and my baby.

Dr Myriknas placed my Transabdominal Cerclage in 2020 - due to being diagnosed with an Incompetent cervix and suffering a preterm and neonatal loss. The transabdominal cerclage placed by Dr Myriknas had allowed me to confidently deliver three healthy and happy term babies!

Where can I start?! Mr Stelios Myriknas is absolutely amazing!!!! There are no words really to describe how remarkable he is. From the first moment he dealt with our case, which was concerning a very sensitive gynecological procedure, he was very patient, very knowledgeable, understanding and professional at the same time.
