Fertility Specialist

Jun 2010 - Present
As a Fertility Specialist with IVFAustralia, I see patients with a variety of fertility-relation conditions. Whilst I maintain a special interest in recurrent miscarriage, Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome and menopause, I see many patients whose infertility is simply unexplained, and many who require complex surgical procedures. I am a Fellow of the Arab Board of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists and consult in English, Arabic and Turkish. I take pride in my ongoing relationship with Sydney's Arab community. Show less
