Obstetrics
Our obstetric services provide comprehensive care for all stages of pregnancy, from antenatal check-ups to childbirth. We offer natural birthing options, water births, and caesarean sections at Buderim Private Hospital. Our practice coordinates care with midwives and provides 24/7 emergency support. We emphasize personalized birth plans and postnatal mental health screening to ensure optimal outcomes for mothers and babies.
Gynaecology
We treat a full range of gynaecological conditions including menstrual disorders, endometriosis, and prolapse. Our minimally invasive laparoscopic techniques enable faster recovery for procedures like hysterectomies and fertility surgeries. The practice offers IUD fittings, abnormal pap smear management, and menopause support. Treatment plans prioritize conservative approaches before considering surgical interventions.
Infertility
Our fertility services include diagnostic testing and treatment options like IVF, IUI, and ovulation induction. Through partnerships with Monash IVF, we provide age-appropriate fertility assessments and personalized treatment plans. The practice addresses both male and female fertility factors, offering laparoscopic procedures to treat endometriosis and tubal issues while maintaining transparent communication throughout the process.
Laparoscopic Surgery
Specializing in advanced laparoscopic techniques since 2005, we perform complex procedures with smaller incisions and faster recovery times. Services include endometriosis removal, hysterectomies, and prolapse repairs using mesh-free methods. The practice hosts surgical workshops for specialist colleagues and maintains teaching affiliations to advance minimally invasive surgical standards across Australia and New Zealand.
