Fertility North

Obstetrics & Gynaecology, Fertility Medicine

Everything at Fertility North had been excellent and I’d been exceptionally happy with them - except for one major factor which was the full costs involved, even though I had asked absolutely countless times to be made acutely aware of all possible and exact costs involved. The huge unaccounted for costs ON TOP of the already extremely large costs I paid and was told without a doubt covered absolutely EVERYTHING, caused me major distress, upset and panic right as I was about to go in for an egg collection, not to mention huge stress and financial hardship in the months that followed. There was no explanation of what the further huge costs were for until I pushed for it, just an invoice sent demanding the money. M I was told that I was explained these extra costs during one of my meetings at the clinic, and I can guarantee that is NOT the case. In fact it was during that meeting I was guaranteed that the total cost on the contact I was signing was the FINAL costs, with absolutely no more to come at this stage of my IVF journey. I was then told that they understood I was just “overwhelmed” ..which I found condescending and totally deflecting from the fact that I was not informed about huge costs extra to what was stated on the contract. Doing multiple rounds of IVF is hard enough financially, emotionally and of course physically without having gigantic costs thrown at you as your about to go into a procedure and right after, without being made aware of them, especially when you are a single women doing this all on your own. After nearly dying from OHSS from the first round (with a different clinic) and all of the huge sacrifice involved with multiple rounds of IVF, this really was the last straw for me and made me consider giving up.

Dr Kent Kuswanto

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

After being advised by numerous gynaecologist that my hysterectomy would require a large abdominal incision, with the possibility of a vertical incision and another gynaecologist even suggested that if anyone attempted to do key hole surgery on me, to run for the hills because I would die - I felt very disheartened and considered delaying surgery all together in the hopes of reaching menopause soon. However, ongoing symptoms and the need for countless iron infusions, I realised I needed to do something sooner rather than later. Through my own research I came across Dr Kent Kuswanto. As the saying goes, Dr Kuswanto "pulled a rabbit out of a hat" using robotic-assisted laparoscopic technology to remove my uterus. As a result, I had minimal scarring, and a smoother recovery, the scar was even smaller than my previous appendix scar. I am so incredibly grateful to have found Dr kuswanto's and I can now move forward with my life and renewed energy.

Dr. Pradeep Rajagopalan

General Medicine Doctor, Respiratory (Chest) Doctor, + 1 more

Dr Pradeep was thorough, caring and insightful. He listened to me and held space for me, making me feel heard after so many years of being dismissed by other doctors. He is very knowledgeable in his field and associated fields, which allows him to provide comprehensive support and advice. Dr Pradeep took great care to ensure my other treating doctors were updated with a comprehensive report and recommendations, and was willing to challenge these doctors on previous treatment that he saw had been lacking. I definitely recommend Dr Pradeep to any patients looking for an intelligent, respectful and knowledgeable doctor

Dr Scott Tulloch

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I can’t recommend Scott highly enough. After sustaining a complete ACL rupture and an MCL avulsion, I felt quite overwhelmed and scared- but from the very beginning, Scott was so kind, reassuring, and incredibly knowledgeable. He took the time to explain everything clearly and made me feel supported and confident every step of the way. His genuine care and compassion really stood out, and I always felt like I was in the best hands. Thanks to his expertise, I was able to return to both normal life and sport within 12 months, which I’m so grateful for. I truly couldn’t have asked for a better outcome or experience.

A/Prof Roland McCallum

Endocrinologist

I was very disappointed my previous medical history, blood results and ultrasounds had not been requested before my appointment. I was looking forward to the appointment hoping to find some answers and felt very disappointed. I paid $445 to see the Doctor only to find that he had very limited information about my medical history. This information should of been requested by the office staff before my appointment. I feel like I have wasted my money and would not have attended the appointment if I had known

Brilliant Being

Endocrinology, Medical Weight Loss

Dr McCallum is absolutely wonderful! He has helped me tremendously with weight loss (16kg and still going). He is the first Doctor that has understood the struggles that chronic illness, sleep disturbance, family history and pain, cause when it comes to weight loss. No matter how many doctors, nutritionists and coaches I told I was doing all the right things, Dr McCallum was the only one to fully listen. He has a wonderful bedside manner and is very accommodating. Wish I had found him sooner.

Dr Rashida Hakeem is an excellent Dr who is highly knowledgeable, a great communicator and extremely caring.

Dr. Kavitha was extremely patient in listening to all our questions and answered each one with genuine care. As we were quite worried about our daughter’s health, all four of us attended the appointment, and she accommodated us without any hesitation. The reception staff were also very kind and responsive, addressing all our queries with warmth. We truly felt well cared for throughout the entire visit.

Dr. Maher was an absolute pleasure to deal with. His whole team as well - from reception to nurses to Dr. Martha Garly. You guys absolutely rock! I felt great after my Colonoscopy and Endoscopy. If I ever need one again in the future I will most certainly be back and if any of my friends need one I will definitely refer them to you. Thank you very much! Nicole
