Can I have my fertility treatment locally in Newcastle?

Yes you can, and that is exactly why I came home to set up my practice. Your fertility procedures are performed locally at The Lingard Hospital in Merewether, so you can go through your entire journey, from first consultation to treatment, without the added stress and cost of travelling far.

What do you enjoy most about your profession?

I find this field utterly compelling, and the science is always advancing, but nothing compares to seeing a patient's journey end with the family they hoped for. I was drawn into fertility medicine by specialists who taught and supported me along the way, and being able to do this work in my hometown, for local families, continues to be rewarding.

Do you investigate male infertility?

Male infertility (https://www.genea.com.au/pages/male-fertility-MCD76OLJES45F3ZDJE66DCZZESV4) is one of my special interests. Fertility involves both partners, and assessing both from the start means we find answers sooner. If a male factor is contributing, we will investigate it properly and build it into your treatment plan rather than leaving it as an afterthought.

Do you offer egg freezing and IVF?

I provide IVF (https://www.genea.com.au/pages/ivf-treatment-MC2JQFBIC5TFHBHEYRZ65VU2Q5BE) and other assisted reproductive fertility treatments (https://www.genea.com.au/fertility-treatments), as well as fertility preservation including egg freezing. Whatever stage you are at, whether you are preserving your fertility for the future or ready to start treatment, we will work through your options together and tailor a plan to your circumstances.

Q: Do you treat endometriosis?

I treat endometriosis (https://www.genea.com.au/pages/endometriosis-MCMXEQJENKMRBGFFJT24O55WUXBY), including with laparoscopic surgery. I completed a fellowship in advanced reproductive laparoscopic surgery, which means I can manage gynaecological and infertility conditions with keyhole techniques, caring for your symptoms as well as any impact on your fertility.
