Personal Q&As

I like to look after patients through their fertility journey and follow their pregnancy until their delivery and postnatal care. I have been involved with City Fertility for the last 15+ years and have helped hundreds of patients to achieve their dreams of becoming parents.
Delivering for one of Australia’s oldest mothers, using her own eggs and seeing her go through the pregnancy and having a healthy baby. I was so glad I was a part of her journey to become a mum.

Keeping fit and exploring.
