About Me
It's a pleasure to meet you! I am a specialist Obstetrician & Gynaecologist practicing in North Sydney and the Sydney CBD. I completed my training at the Royal Hospital for Women, and completed a fellowship year in advanced laparoscopic and pelvic surgery through Sydney West Advanced Pelvic Surgery Unit.
My Philosophy of Care
As a father of two, I appreciate the joys of parenthood and the excitement of this special time. I also understand the anxieties around pregnancy and childbirth that prospective parents can feel.
I strive to provide personalised care, focusing on the health, wishes, and individual needs of my patients. I will respect and value your autonomy throughout your pregnancy and birth. As you know, this time can be very unpredictable and can bring unexpected challenges. As your obstetrician, I will be there to guide you through these challenges. To educate, advocate and provide exceptional healthcare, whatever the situation.
Specialist Expertise
I have extensive experience managing high-risk and complex pregnancies and births, as well as twins and multiples.
I have rooms in North Sydney and the Sydney CBD and work at Mater Hospital Sydney, North Shore Private Hospital, Royal North Shore Hospital, and Prince of Wales Private Hospital.
A Team Approach
I am supported by an amazing team including midwives, lactation consultants, a physiotherapist, and administrative staff that keep everything running! Please take the time to get to know my team, below.

I am backed by a passionate team of healthcare providers and administrative support staff, all working to ensure you have a wonderful experience.
