Greenwich
IVFAustralia provides the most extensive and convenient network of fertility centres and consulting sites in and around Sydney and the Central Coast.
Our surgical facilities and laboratory are co-located in three locations across Sydney, which avoid the known hazards of transporting fragile eggs and embryos.
IVFAustralia’s network of care allows patients the opportunity to attend specialist consultations and undertake blood and ultrasound treatment monitoring at clinic locations either close to home or work.
IVFAustralia's Greenwich Clinic is a purpose-built, state of the art clinic, which was the first in Australia to have a laboratory built to European Clean Air standards. The laboratory's clean air technology uses sophisticated environmental control to ensure that the pure air circulating through the lab is separate from the air circulating in the rest of the building. This ensures perfect conditions for the handling of sperm, eggs and embryos.
The clinic is open seven days a week for blood tests and monitoring for patient convenience. Patient parking is available in the underground car park.
The North Shore Specialist Day Hospital, which is used for day procedures such as egg collection, is located on the ground floor of the building.
Dr Frank Quinn is Clinical Director. Other specialists who consult at the Clinic are Dr Robert Lahoud, Dr Peter Leung, Dr Jeffrey Persson and Dr Michelle Kwik. Dr Iris Wang's patients undertake their monitoring and day procedures at the clinic.
