Report
Could not imagine better obstetric care, we have had a wonderful experience with both of our children. Dr Brown is an excellent clinician and surgeon with a calm and empathetic manner. He is completely on top of all obstetric issues whilst maintaining a kind and personal management of the people involved - he is very understanding of mother and partner in a sometimes stressful time. He deals with complex cases and is up to date with practices and is a dedicated and knowledgeable obstetrician. Our management and surgical experiences (sometimes complex) were perfect.

Oli Brown and his staff are so lovely. I've had the pleasure of having both of my babies with Oli Brown and each time it was a welcoming experience. The midwives who assist Oli are fabulous. Oli was happy to always answer any of my questions and concerns. He and his team are the best!

I asked my fertility specialist to refer me to the best obstetrician in the Hunter and that's exactly what I got. Dr Oliver and his team are amazing. If it was not for Oliver I would not have my precious baby boy. He was always there if needed, has the best bedside manner I've ever seen in a doctor, and explains things thoroughly. If lucky enough to fall pregnant again I will definitely want Dr Oliver to deliver my next baby.
