We partner with Life Fertility to provide cost-effective solutions with experienced care throughout the treatment process. Patients receive personalised plans addressing conditions like PCOS and endometriosis while maintaining transparency about success rates and financial commitments.

We offer complete antenatal, intrapartum, and postnatal care for low and high-risk pregnancies. Services include regular ultrasound monitoring, genetic counselling, and management of complications like pre-eclampsia. With 97% of deliveries attended personally, our continuity of care ensures consistent medical oversight from conception through postnatal recovery in private hospital settings.
Gynaecological Surgery
Specialist surgical treatments address menstrual disorders, endometriosis, fibroids, and urinary incontinence. Procedures utilise advanced laparoscopic techniques at St Andrews War Memorial and Greenslopes Private Hospitals. Preoperative assessments and post-surgery recovery plans ensure optimal outcomes with clear communication about preparation requirements and rehabilitation timelines.

Our experience with Rod was nothing shy of amazing. We wanted to birth our twins naturally if possible and Rod was open to this as long as it was safe to do so. We are so delighted that we allowed Rod to assist us with the safe delivery of our twins, his dedication to his patients is astounding. Would definitely recommend Rod to anyone wanting a knowledgeable, experienced obstetrician. Thank you Rod!

I saw Dr Rod for my second pregnancy and I couldn't have been happier with the level of care and attention I received. He was on top of every potential complication from day one and the care I received was second to none and resulted in a very straightforward pregnancy and birth.
