What I Offer

General and High-Risk Obstetrics

I have significant expertise

in both general and high-risk obstetrics including (but not limited to) support for uncomplicated pregnancies and normal deliveries, vaginal births after caesarean (VBAC), twins and multiple gestations, maternal medical conditions and pregnancies following fertility treatment.

Certified in Specialised colposcopy by the Royal Australian College

of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, and having completed additional training

in colposcopy, I am well-equipped

to provide expert diagnosis

and management of pap smear abnormalities.

Individualised care of your pregnancy

Expert management of abnormal Pap smears

'...My objective is to assist you in achieving the birth that you desire, while maintaining safety for both

you and your baby.'

MY PASSION

I am committed to providing excellent and individualised obstetric and gynaecological care. And, believe it or not, I actually enjoy getting out of bed in the middle of the night to support you in bringing

new life into the world!

I look forward to seeing the glowing faces of the mothers, fathers and families immediately after a new birth, and of course seeing

the babies I help to deliver.

This is why I love doing what I do.

This same commitment extends to my gynaecological care,

where a positive outcome for you is my only goal. Wherever possible and medically appropriate, I will treat gynaecological conditions with non-surgical measures, as these may be all that is required.

If surgery is required, I will provide this with exceptional skill and precision, and ensure you are fully informed. Having trained locally at Monash Health, I have many years' experience in performing gynaecological procedures.
