All of the OBGYN professionals are licensed, insured and have experience providing care to women in all types of situations. OBGYN’s are medical doctors that are trained to provide care for more complicated births and are specialized in a wide assortment of birth conditions and defects.

OB/GYN care in Melbourne can be found right here in our office using our professional providers.

Midwifery Services

Midwifery services are a type of service that is offered to women that are expecting babies. This type of service is offered through a woman that is easily able to connect with the pregnant woman, a connection and natural remedies are able to provide a smooth, relaxing childbirth experience.

Those that prefer a more holistic approach or that want a more connecting way to bond with someone that delivers your baby would choose a midwife. Midwives generally only work with low-risk women that are likely to have an easy labor and delivery.

Midwifery services are hard to come across, but here in Melbourne, you can find the best professionals in the area right here at Hibiscus Women’s Center.

Sonograms

Sonograms are provided in our office, as with other medical treatments, through the use of our professional sonographer, you can find out what your baby looks like, how it is developing, what gender it is and more. Providing this professional service to the women that come through our office ensures that they get the care they need without having to be sent to another facility to have these services provided.

By speaking with us about the needs that you have, you can find that we provide the care that you need through the professionals that we have in our Melbourne office.

Evidence-Based Treatments

We want to provide you with the assurance of choosing our office for all of your maternity care. We invite you to use our practice for all of your midwifery, obstetrics and gynecology care needed.

You do not have to be expecting a baby to speak with us regarding care. We provide a series of other services based on reproduction, conditions, regular check-ups, birth control, and other woman-related treatments for those that may require a professional that can help. We have specialists on hand that can see women of all ages and walks of life for their female care.

We have board-certified surgeons on our team, as well as a whole staff of professionals from receptionists to billing specialists, even a phlebotomist, so you know that you’re getting the specialized care required, regardless of the needs that you have. We have tried to reach every corner to ensure that each and every area that we need to focus on has been covered.

Your Privacy and Care is Important to Us

Every aspect of care discussed in the office is covered under the privacy laws that we have. This protects women and what they say while providing them with a safe, confidential space to seek the necessary help they need right here in our Melbourne office.

We do our best to make sure that every woman feels safe while in our office. We want you to enjoy the benefits of working with a midwife / OBGYN office and feeling like you can speak with anyone here to get the help needed and the help required through our Melbourne office.
