Question 2

Where can I have my surgery?

Accepted Answer

I operate privately at St John of God Berwick Hospital.

I see limited public patients, who I can refer to the public system through Monash Health at Casey, Dandenong, Cranbourne, or Moorabbin. For regional patients, I also have public appointments at LaTrobe Regional Hospital and Wonthaggi/Cowes I can also refer regional women to these sites for public operations, usually on my own list.

Question 3

Do you take private obstetric patients for pregnancy care?

Accepted Answer

Yes. To ensure I can provide the best care possible, I care for a small number of women per month privately, which allows me to know you, and your family well.  
I also provide antenatal care for a limited number of women who will birth in the public system at Monash Health.

Question 4

Who are the children in the photo, are they all yours?"

Accepted Answer

Mine and yes! Try and guess which ones are the twins....

Question 5

Do your private rooms coordinate public outpatient appointments?

Accepted Answer

In short, no.   If I see you for an appointment in the public system this is entirely separate and run by the public hospital where I have seen you - I am only available on days I am rostered to work at that site.  While it would be ideal if healthcare records were freely available across settings, the healthcare system does not work that way.  This means that my private rooms are not able to access your record, alter any appointments or answer questions about your care or test results.  Please call the outpatient clinic at the public hospital where you have been seen (or ring the hospital and ask for the gynaecology doctor on call if urgent) for queries if you are a public patient.
