Dr Emily Twidale
Emily’s private consulting rooms are in Coburg and Northcote. She is a member of the advanced laparoscopic gynaecological surgical teams at the Royal Women’s Hospital and Northern Health. She enjoys regular operating lists at John Fawkner Hospital in Coburg and the Northern Private Hospital in Epping. She can provide direct booking to the public operating waiting lists of the Royal Women’s Hospital and Northern Health*.
Emily’s drive to become an expert laparoscopic surgeon is reflected in her training journey.
After graduating as an obstetrician and gynaecologist (FRANZCOG) in 2019, she undertook a fellowship from the Australasian Gynaecological Endoscopy and Surgery Society (AGES). She spent two years in a tertiary hospital in New Zealand upskilling in complex, minimally invasive surgery, especially the care of severe endometriosis.
Emily carried out her basic training at The Royal Women’s Hospital. Her senior registrar years were spent as the principal gynaecology registrar at RWH and pursuing extra rotations in Darwin, Sunshine and Epworth Freemasons.
Emily was raised on the Mornington Peninsula and obtained a double degree in medicine and arts from the University of Melbourne in 2009.
Emily welcomed a baby girl in 2024. She is known amongst her friends and family for loving a big task. She does event cooking, is an advanced seamstress and enjoys reupholstering furniture. She usually has a crossword tucked away somewhere and a podcast recommendation at the ready.
If you are a public wait list patient, Dr Emily can prepare you for surgery and share in your post-operative managerment, but your surgeon will be designated by the hospital.
