General Obstetrics including high risk pregnancy management
Gynaecology including minimal invasive and “keyhole” surgery, menstrual disorders, endometriosis, and fibroids, cervical dysplasia (pap smear abnormalities and treatment),
Infertility including recurrent pregnancy loss, assisted reproduction (including IVF) and reproductive endocrinology.

Dr Alexander has extensive experience in all aspects of infertility and fertility treatment, including IVF, recurrent pregnancy loss, reproductive endocrinology and laparoscopic surgery, menstrual disorders, endometriosis, fibroids and cervical dysplasia and provides continuity of care to his patients from the start of their fertility journey throughout their pregnancy and beyond.

Being a father of three children, Alex understands the difference and impact fertility medicine can have on people's lives.

He is one of the few fertility specialists who still deliver their patients’ babies as he loves the joy that he sees on the couples’ faces when they hold their newborn.

Alexander's patients describe him as relaxed, professional and appreciate his proactive approach when it comes to high risk pregnancies.*

His 15 years’ experience gives him the flexibility to look after both low and high risk pregnancies in a tertiary hospital like the Mater Mothers Hospital.
