Obstetrics

At Greenslopes Obstetrics & Gynaecology we understand your pregnancy is about you – not us!  We therefore proudly offer you the choice of obstetricians from our highly skilled team, so you can have personalised and direct care with your own doctor.

Our approach allows you to develop the relationship with your obstetrician that your pregnancy deserves.  On those rare occasions when your own doctor is unavailable, we have special on-call arrangements to make sure you are safely covered at all times by one of the other GSOG obstetricians.

We offer a comprehensive obstetric service, which is able to cater for almost any conceivable development throughout your pregnancy.  An obstetric physician, endocrinologist, diabetes educator, dietician, and a women’s physiotherapist complement our six wonderful obstetricians.  This means you can relax in the knowledge that no matter what happens you can access the care that you need – all under the one roof.

  • Pre-pregnancy care – including counselling and investigations
