Obstetrics
When you’re pregnant, you deserve consistent and personalised care from your own doctor. Through Greenslopes Obstetrics & Gynaecology, you are connected with a collection of independent specialists. You can choose the doctor you want to support you before, during, and after, your pregnancy.
This approach allows you to develop an important relationship with your obstetrician. On those rare occasions when you own doctor is not available, a roster of special on-call arrangements is in place to make sure you are safely covered by another independent GOG obstetrician.
By giving you access to comprehensive obstetric services, you can relax in the knowledge that almost any conceivable development throughout your pregnancy can be safely managed. An obstetric physician, endocrinologist, diabetes educator, dietitian and women’s physiotherapist complement the group of independent obstetricians working from our rooms. This also means that the care you need is available all under one roof.
Specifically, the comprehensive obstetric services provided by our independent specialists include:
Pregnancy care
Management of routine pregnancies as well as multiple and high risk pregnancies, and complex medical disorders in pregnancy.
Labour and delivery
Personalised care to make sure you are safely covered at all times.
Post-pregnancy care
Providing and connecting you with support to help you navigate early parenthood.
