How long should I try to conceive before seeing a fertility specialist?

It's a myth that you have to try for a year before seeing a specialist. You could have an underlying health condition like endometriosis, so I'm happy to chat with you at any stage. The earlier the better, so we can forge a plan together and get you there faster.

Do you treat endometriosis?

Endometriosis (https://www.genea.com.au/pages/endometriosis-MCMXEQJENKMRBGFFJT24O55WUXBY) is a special interest of mine. I completed a three year fellowship in advanced laparoscopic surgery at Royal Prince Alfred Hospital, and I am an AGES certified Gynaecologist, so I can care for you across diagnosis, minimally invasive surgical treatment, and support you if endometriosis is affecting your fertility.

What can I expect from an appointment with you?

My aim is for you to leave feeling heard and with a clear understanding of your situation and options. I know how daunting a fertility journey can be, so I take the time to listen properly and explain everything in plain, evidence-based terms, empowering you to make informed decisions about your care. There's honestly nothing more rewarding for me than a patient telling me it's the first time they've felt heard.

Do you offer egg freezing and fertility preservation?

Yes, fertility preservation (https://www.genea.com.au/preserving-fertility) and egg freezing (https://www.genea.com.au/pages/egg-freezing-MC3MTZW2J5GRAONFMNFGQ7NWM7HA) are among my special interests, including oncofertility for patients whose fertility may be affected by cancer treatment. Whatever your reason for considering preserving your fertility, we can discuss your options and put a plan in place for your future family-building goals.

Where do you consult and operate?

I consult at Genea Sydney CBD (https://www.genea.com.au/location/genea-sydney-city), where I offer both fertility and general gynaecology appointments. For surgery, I operate at the Mater Hospital in North Sydney and at Genea Day Surgery in the city, and I am also a Visiting Medical Officer in Obstetrics and Gynaecology at Royal Prince Alfred Hospital (https://slhd.health.nsw.gov.au/rpa).
