Every person that comes to see me, comes with their own story, hopes and dreams. For that reason, every treatment is unique.

I’m a fertility specialist and reproductive surgeon based in Bella Vista, Sydney.

I strive for my patients to achieve either a quicker path to a successful pregnancy, or alternatively faster and clearer resolution if treatment proves to be unsuccessful.

With cutting-edge technology and a supportive environment, I empower my patients to achieve their dreams of starting or expanding their families.

My Services

All aspects of your fertility care, including procedures and surgery, are located under one roof in Bella Vista, Sydney.

My own personal journey as a fertility patient, inspired me to embark on a mission to establish my own world-class fertility clinic and day hospital.

Drawing upon three decades of experience, I surrounded myself with the finest professionals in the field, both in Australia and overseas, to bring this vision to life.

Together, we collaborated to create Minerva Fertility, setting a new benchmark for IVF laboratories and Bond Day Hospital, a state-of-the-art day surgery.

Since I opened Minerva Fertility in February 2024:

47% of patients have achieved a live birth with an embryo from their 1st IVF stimulation cycle. 

30% of patients who had been unsuccessful elsewhere, have achieved a live birth with IVF.

My approach to IVF is different to most other clinics. I’ll explain how and why.

I focus on providing patients with a more streamlined and supportive experience, offering either a quicker path to a successful pregnancy or alternatively, a faster, clearer resolution if treatment proves unsuccessful due to factors like poor-quality eggs or embryos. This approach empowers patients with clarity and allows for informed decisions about their fertility journey. It is often more cost effective.

IVF success rates are best shown as live birth rates, allowing apple versus apple comparisons between clinics.

Minerva Fertility, my own laboratory, started treating patients in February 2024. The graphs show live birth rates but the numbers do not yet allow detailed analysis by age group.
