We are taking the opportunity to have a short break over the Christmas and new year period.

The best way to book an appointment is to use our online booking form — you can browse and book the appointment that suits you best. When you book, you can also let us know if you’d like to be placed on a waiting list for an earlier appointment.

Happy holidays from GAALS

After another busy year at GAALS, thank you to my patients and referring GPs for your continued support.

New online real time booking platform

Recently we launched a new real time booking platform. This gives patients more choice when finding an appointment time that suits them.

Making a booking is easy:

1. New patients, click “Initial Consultation”, existing patients click “Follow Up Consultation”.

2. Select a date and time for your appointment.

3. Fill in your details.

4. Click “Book”.

We will email you to confirm your booking.

You can access the platform book your appointment at any time, but if you’d prefer, you can always call us during business hours.

Season's Greetings from GAALS

As the holiday season approaches, I would like to thank all my patients and referring GPs for making 2018 such a successful year. GAALS has continued to grow throughout 2018 with an increase in the number of patients attending appointments during the year.

Next year promises to be a busy year at GAALS; we will be expanding the practice and providing more options for appointment availability, and will implement an online booking system for current and new patients.

Returning from leave and appointment availability

This week I returned from a short period of maternity leave following the birth of my son in mid-July. I'm pleased everything went well and I'm now ready to re-commence consulting and operating at Greenslopes Private Hospital.

I have some appointments still available over the next couple of weeks, and I am going to open up a few additional consulting sessions to make sure patients have some choice and availability of appointments.

New or existing patients can ask my receptionists to be placed on a waiting list, and we will contact you if an earlier appointment becomes available.

Call us on 07 3067 7086 or use the booking form to make an appointment.

I'd like to thank everyone for their well wishes and also their patience during my leave.

Taking maternity leave

This week I commenced maternity leave for the birth of my second child. After a short break I will return to GAALS on 28 August 2018.

While I am away my receptionists will be able to take messages and arrange appointments for my return.

If current patients need more urgent attention and cannot wait for me to return, I have arranged for a few colleagues at Greenslopes Private Hospital to provide care while I am away. Current patients can call my rooms on 07 3067 7086 and my receptionists will be able to make arrangements for them to be seen more urgently. In an emergency, patients should always present to their closest hospital emergency department.

New patients can contact my rooms by phone 07 3067 7086, by clicking Book Now or by emailing reception@gaals.com.au and my receptionists can either make an appointment as soon as possible after 28 August 2018, or recommend another gynaecologist who will be able to see them in the meantime. If new patients wish to see one of my colleagues, they can use the referral that is addressed to me (it is not necessary to have a referral addressed to the other doctor).

I want to thank my patients for their understanding while I am away. Since I established GAALS in 2016, I’m pleased to have received overwhelmingly positive feedback from patients about their care. I look forward to seeing everyone soon.

Keeping up to date over the Easter break

I’ll be taking a short break in the lead up to Easter to attend a conference on Reproductive Endocrinology, Infertility and Menopause hosted by the Harvard Medical School in Boston, USA. I look forward to updating you with some of my key learnings when I return.

“Keeping up to date with the latest research and clinical techniques is essential to provide the best level of care for my patients. ”

While I am away, my receptionists will be able to take bookings for when I return, and I’ll still receive any important messages. I've arranged with a few colleagues to see any of my existing patients who present to Greenslopes Hospital Emergency in need of more urgent care.

I have scheduled some additional consulting sessions for when I return to make sure all my patients can be seen in a timely manner.

I hope you have a happy and safe Easter, and look forward to seeing you in a few weeks.

Season's Greetings from GAALS

At the end of another incredibly busy year, I'd like to thank my patients and network of referring GPs for their support of GAALS in 2017.

With the move to the Ramsay Specialist Centre in Greenslopes Private Hospital this year, GAALS has continued to grow. I'm pleased to be able to offer personalised and patient-centered care in such a modern and convenient location.

In 2018 I hope to increase my availability to give patients more options for appointment times and make sure I can continue to offer prompt attention to my patient's needs.

GAALS will be closing on 22 December 2017 and will reopen on 2 January 2018. 

I wish you all a very Merry Christmas and look forward to seeing you next year.

Farewell Spring Hill, Hello Greenslopes

This is the last week I am consulting from the Watkins Medical Centre in Spring Hill. While I have really enjoyed the central city location, I am very excited to be consulting from the Ramsay Specialist Centre at Greenslopes Private Hospital in 2017.  I think my patients will find Greenslopes to be a really convenient location, with more accessible parking and access to all the hospital facilities.

“All appointments from the start of January 2017 will be at:
Suite 208, Ramsay Specialist Centre
Newdegate Street
Greenslopes
”

I will be sending out the usual email and SMS appointment reminders that will include the Greenslopes address. I have also asked my referring GPs to update their address books with my new consulting rooms location.

Information on how to find the Ramsay Specialist Centre and Greenslopes Hospital is on the Contact Us page.

GAALS is closed for the Christmas/New Year period from 23 December 2016 and reopens on 9 January 2017.

Wishing you a wonderful, safe and happy Christmas and looking forward to seeing you in 2017.
