Emma is a general gynaecologist and particularly enjoys contraceptive counselling, menopause management, vulval dermatology or pain with intercourse, dealing with heavy periods and prolapse. She works to help women with endometriosis with medical management (most of their care) but has taken to referring them to an expert gynaecologist for their actual surgery. She does not do investigation and treatment of abnormal pap smears (colposcopy).

Emma is happy to see young women to discuss contraception, period problems, and other sexual health issues.
The Reproductive Years
This is the bulk of Emma’s work, caring for women who are hoping to become, are already, or have recently been pregnant: To guide you through your pregnancy with confidence, always feeling informed, safe, and cared for, or to be there should things not go as planned.
Midlife
Going through the menopause means changes to the menstrual cycle, heavy bleeding, and the symptoms of menopause at a time in life when women are often at their busiest, managing children, aging parents, and careers. Emma is happy to discuss and provide options for managing all the above. She is a member of the Australian Menopause Society.
Young at Heart
Emma loves seeing her older patients regularly for management of prolapse (conservative or surgical), continence, their vulval dermatitis, and to help them maintain their sexual health. She can investigate and treat post-menopausal bleeding.
