One in every six Australian couples face fertility challenges!

Embarking on the path of starting a family is exciting. It can be a very emotional and stressful time, especially when there is no success and the months and years go by.

I understand the frustration and have seen it in hundreds of my patients. I have a kind hearted, approachable manner. I aim to make you feel like you’re sitting across from a trusted friend that you can talk to about your fertility issues.

There are so many factors that may be contributing to your infertility. That’s why I undertake an advanced fertility assessment, before analysing and discussing your fertility treatment options with you.

Finding the best fertility solution

I don’t believe IVF is necessarily the answer to your fertility problems.

As a Fertility Specialist I can analyse and decipher your fertility needs:

• Is it nature needing a helping hand or;
• Is significant scientific help required?
• After the fertility assessment and analysing any necessary test results, the next step is discussing your potential treatment options. This gives you the opportunity to ask all the relevant questions in relation to your fertility treatment.

That could give you the best chance to grow your family

I have dedicated my life to fertility and reproductive science. My goal has been to offer my patients the the most broad range fertility treatment options available in Australia.  To reach this goal I have specialised in:

Obstetrics – The branch of medical science focusing on pregnancy, childbirth and caring and treating women in or in connection with childbirth. 

Infertility – In both male and females.

Reproductive Endocrinology – Specialty training in reproductive medicine addressing hormonal function in relation to infertility.
I grew up here in Victoria and studied at Monash University completing a sup-speciality in Reproductive Endocrinology.

Gynaecology – The medical practice dealing with the health of the female reproductive systems (vagina, uterus and ovaries) and the breasts including problems such as period or menstrual pain, heavy menstrual bleeding, endometriosis, fibroids, and infertility.

Laparoscopic Surgery – It’s a modern surgical technique. Instead of making a large incision or cut for an operation, tiny incisions are made. The operation uses tiny surgical instruments and a small medical camera to view the desired area. Also called minimally invasive surgery (MIS), bandaid surgery, or keyhole surgery. Incisions are usually only 0.5 cm – 2.5 cm. One of the potential advantages is that recovery time can be significantly less than traditional surgery.

Microsurgery – Microsurgery is a general term for surgery requiring an operating microscope. The most obvious developments have been procedures developed to allow anastomosis of successively smaller blood vessels and nerves (typically 1 mm in diameter) which have allowed transfer of tissue from one part of the body to another.

To further advance my knowledge and better understand your potential infertility issues, I completed my postgraduate studies at University of Sydney receiving a Masters of Medicine in Reproductive Science.

I understand the frustration and confusion you’re most likely experiencing. Most of my patients ask:

• What is involved to determine my/our fertility issues?
• What are the potential treatment options?
• What are the costs and what rebates that are involved?
• What are the success rates of the different treatments?
• Does my partner need to come to appointments?

To make it easier for you

I have extended consulting hours into the late evening to accommodate work and other commitments and ease the stress of seeking treatment. 

You will also have access to an after hours contact for urgent matters that’s linked directly to me. You aren’t just a number at my clinic, you are cared for and respected as a person.
