Surgical Care
Many patients attend with a particular treatment or operation in mind. Emily will discuss all appropriate options and help you decide on the approach that best suits your circumstances.

Collaborative Care
Emily believes patients should receive the best care for their individual situation. If another specialist is better placed to provide a particular treatment, she will happily recommend a trusted colleague.
While Emily provides surgery and counselling to optimise fertility and assisted reproductive treatment outcomes, she is not an IVF specialist.
For patients requiring surgery for pelvic organ prolapse or urinary incontinence, Emily works closely with subspecialist colleagues and will arrange referral when appropriate.
