Shore Women

I chose Shore Women based on recommendations and was assigned Sophia Chen as my main midwife, with Vivian Wei as her backup. Unfortunately, my experience left a lot to be desired. From the start, communication was confusing. When I went for a scan, I tried to share what the scan centre staff told me, since I wasn’t familiar with the process. Instead of guiding me, the response from the midwife was sarcastic, implying I lacked knowledge and insisting only they could interpret the results. This felt dismissive and disrespectful, especially when I was just trying to understand my own care. As my pregnancy progressed, things didn’t improve. Near my delivery, both seemed to be juggling other commitments, leaving me feeling unsupported at a critical time. It felt like they were pushing responsibility onto each other rather than focusing on my needs. Overall, I believe Shore Women should reconsider their partnership with this team. A long working relationship doesn’t automatically mean they’re the best choice for patients. Expectant mothers deserve attentive, respectful, and reliable care, especially when they’re paying for it. On top of this, if you’re looking for options like an elective C-section or expect a certain level of service, I’d recommend searching elsewhere.

Visited Dr Abir today who was very thorough and knowledgeable considering my previous history and I cannot fault her service and professional care to me today. Nurse Maureen was wonderful with after care and I would thoroughly recommend Shore Women and their caring team.

Went in for an annual follow up visit where Dr Maha did a smear test and biopsies, however, have been in pain since then and still bleeding from the biopsy done during that visit. I have done this procedure before and never been in this kind of pain or a long post op bleed (4 days and counting). Quite upset as reception is near impossible to get a hold of and how the doctor was very dismissive both times I've visited.

Everyone has their own experience and gynae is a very personal & emotional experience no matter what stage you go through as a woman. I have had dealings with Shore Woman & Shore Birth spanning 25+ years. I met Vijay Bhoola 21 years ago and he assisted me with a concern after the very premature birth of my daughter (not associated with Shorebirth - it was a medical situation) with care and professionalism & so started a relationship of trust in an important role for me as a woman. Roll forward to 4 years ago when I had to call on Vijay's gynae specialist services and he he has been on the journey with me again with professionalism, care and so much that my recent huge operation he called on an extra pair of surgeon's hands to work with him and to reduce my time under general anesthesia - the operation which was high risk went extremely well. However I developed an unfortunate other medical condition and despite this not being the responsibility of Vijay to manage he has consistently provided further care and follow up as has his amazing side kicks and extremely important members of his team, Marlene, Susan and Sandra have all been so supportive and genuinely caring. So again my novel recommendation spans 25+ years, different situations and yet I am so happy with the care and professionalism from Vijay and his team. My recommendation is go meet the people and be aware of your own emotions. There could well have been times I could have had a different reaction to my emotions - sometimes I was so poorly and didn't necessarily agree - but I trusted and stayed the course. I know I say thank you all the time Team Shore Woman but thank you. (Also a shout out to Judy from Shore Birth - part of the team and assisted me as my post recovery mid-wife some 24 years ago ... and we still chat like friends when I see her in the clinic).

I've had two babies through Shore Birth, both times the experience was excellent. I found all staff to be friendly and professional and they kept me calm during two complicated pregnancies. Highly recommend!

Always have a fantastic experience at Shore Women, all the staff are always amazing. The receptionist is always friendly and helpful with a smile on her face, Marlene the nurse is always bubbly and friendly ! Dr Bhoola and Dr Haddad are always professional and put me at ease throughout appointments and I have been attending the practice for almost 8 years! Thanks!

Hands down the best service and care I could have received when pregnant with our baby. I will definitely be coming back here when we have another baby. Bronagh and Judy - the midwives - are SO lovely and caring and the obstetricians are just so so good at what they do. Dr Vijay Bhoola is everything I could have wished for in an OB delivering my first baby. He was calm, encouraging, empathetic and genuine from the first appointment to when I was pushing. I cannot fault any of the experience at all and could not recommend the team at Shore Birth more highly! Awesome to have Sonelle on-site for scans too!
