I graduated from medical school at the University of Queensland in 2004, and, after completing my residency, commenced specialist training in obstetrics and gynaecology. Placements at the Townsville Hospital, the Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital, and Caboolture Hospital, gave me invaluable experience caring for women through their pregnancies, labours, and deliveries, including in high-risk and complicated pregnancies. I then undertook two years of specialised gynaecology training in Adelaide. During my first year I worked principally in the area of urogynaecology, developing my skills in the conservative and surgical management of vaginal prolapse and urinary incontinence. My second year in South Australia saw me complete 12 months training in advanced laparoscopic surgery, enhancing my skills in keyhole surgery. During this time I also completed a Masters of Reproductive Medicine through the University of NSW, giving me specialised knowledge in managing couples with infertility and other gynaecological concerns. In 2009 I was awarded the prestigious Crown Street Medal for best original research by a Registrar or Fellow for my study into detection of threatened pre-term labour. As well as my enduring love of obstetrics, I have special interests in the management of pelvic organ prolapse, urinary incontinence, the menopause, and fertility. I have also written about pregnancy and fertility issues for popular women’s website, Mamamia. My private practice is “Greenslopes Obstetrics & Gynaecology” located at the Greenslopes Private Hospital, where my patients have access to facilities of the finest quality in Brisbane. I am proud to offer patient-focused care in a relaxed, open and friendly manner. I live with my wife Rebecca, my three young children, and our much-loved dog, Reuben. When I’m not working I spend time with my family, trying to stay fit, watching all manner of sport, and struggling to beat my kids at Pac-Man.
