I hold specialist appointments at:
I am an Associate Professor at the
University of Wollongong, academic leader for Obstetrics and Gynaecology, and part time satff specialist at the
Wollongong Hospital. For my patients who require assisted reproductive treatment, I am very proud to be accredited with
Genea, world leaders in fertility, one of the best companies in the field of IVF. For those requiring laparoscopic surgery, I am also a faculty member of the prestigious
Sydney Women's Endosurgery Centre. I am a member of the
Australian Medical Association (AMA).
My background is French, originally from Montpellier in the south of France, where I trained in the
most ancient medical school in the western world still in activity. I am a native French speaker, fluent in English and Spanish (almost). I moved to Australia in 2010 to follow my aussie wife. When not working, I enjoy exploring new restaurants and cafés (I am a bit of a "foodie") and tasting the wonderful australian wines that often stand the comparison to the French ones in my opinion (Please, don't report what I said to my folks, back home!). I am learning to surf, and love the outdoor activities offered in the Illawarra.
