I recently had my second child with Steve as my obsterician, and delivery via a planned c-section. I had the best possible delivery and a quick recovery despite my complicated history. Steve is an amazing ob/gyn, he always took the time to answer questions I had in great detail, his knowledge is incredible and he has a very calm demeanour about him that certainly helps during pregnancy.

Dr Steve Hatzikostas! I could not recommend a more amazing obstetrician, that shows such passion and love for his patients and babies, and what he does. You really see how much he loves what he does. He is so thorough with every appointment and couldnt have chosen a more perfect obstetrician to deliver our healthy baby girl! Gina and Jo were also absolutely a pleasure to deal with at reception and make you feel so welcomed each time!

"wow, your obstetrician should have been a cosmetic surgeon" quote from my maternal health nurse who has seen many C-section stitches over her 20+ years in the industry. Truth be told, six weeks later you can barely see it, I barely felt it after a few days and I have complete confidence that it was done with absolute precision. I chose Steve Hatzikostas as my OB for my first pregnancy as many of my friends had highly recommended him. I went back to Steve last year again when I fell pregnant again with my twins, as I knew first hand, what a brilliant OB he is. Why?! Above everything else, he's

Steve is dedicated to his patients by always being available to ensure you feel supported, informed, and at ease through every stage of the pregnancy, delivery and post care. Both pregnancies I had Steve and knew I was in caring hands with him and the office team of Gina & Jo. Nothing is ever too much trouble and would highly recommend him.
