MBBS, FRANCOG
Masters of Reproductive Medicine (UNSW)
Grad Dip Comms, BBus These credentials are further supported with research achievements.

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.

Is it possible for an atheist to have a Gid-given gift? 🤔

If you don’t already know this - and you need to trust me on this - there is nothing in this world quite like the love of a dog 🐕

Search the world and find me a more loving and caring creature. You won’t.

If you don’t have a dog, and you have the capacity to look after one and give it the care that it needs, then take this as your sign and GO GET ONE!

If I had my way every single child would be born into and raised in a family with dogs. Pure unadulterated love.

It never ceases to amaze me how, on random and shuffling music playlists, that music just gets it right with birth.

Yesterday was yet another example, with harrystyles providing the perfect song for a beautiful little baby’s arrival into this world.

As if this job of being an OBGYN wasn’t already great enough. I am so grateful that every day I get to see the decency and generosity of people.

Gifts are certainly NEVER expected - after all my patients pay me for a service! - so please know that this post is not a signal for an expectation of other rewards.

I just wanted to show you the beautiful, thoughtful and creative ‘Survival Kit’ I received from my patients Anna and Rob today.

I love the way this reflects the genuine bond I was able to form with these lovely humans across two pregnancies, the most recent of which was twins!

Thanks you Anna and Rob. I would love to see you again but I know I won’t!

Despite the claims of many products on the shelves of our nation’s pharmacies there is no magic potion or pill you can take in pregnancy to improve your immunity.

I know it’s not sexy advice, but to optimise your immunity and increase your chances of avoiding the latest and greatest viral infections going around you need to:

- have a balanced diet with plenty of fruits and vegetables
- get plenty of sleep - and prioritise it!
- undertake regular exercise
- wash your hands with warm soapy water regularly - especially after contact with children!

Ignore the empty marketing claims of BS merchants trying to sell you their whiz-bang snake-oil. There is no such thing as a medicine that magically boosts your immunity.

If you’re an atheist can you have a God-given gift? 🤔

‘Scales for Hands’ strikes again!

Here’s a cracking example of a placenta with a ‘velamentous umbilical cord insertion’

So that means that the cord doesn’t attach directly into the body of the placenta, and it runs in laterally with the major blood vessels being exposed in the membranes.

With the vessels in this configuration they are not surrounded by the protective layer of Wharton’s jelly, making them more susceptible to causing some mischief

Placentas are incredible ❤️🙌

OMG SOME PREGNANCY MYTHS JUST WILL NOT DIE!!!

If you are pregnant and have been told to sleep only on your left side and to not sleep on your right PLEASE ignore that advice!

It is recommended that pregnant women should sleep on EITHER side from 28 weeks as this helps avoid compression of the venacava and subsequent impairment of blood flow to the placenta and hence baby.

BUT if you wake up lying on your back it does not matter. This is not an issue. Just roll off and go back to sleep.

And if anyone claims you cannot sleep of your right side please send them my way 👍😬

As a great philosopher once said ‘when the universe grants you a true gift the unwashed will doubt and deride you’



P.S. Okay so maybe I made that quote up…. 😬😉
