Leading with Science, Caring with Heart
Dr. Sylvia Ross
With over a decade of experience in women's health, I am passionate about providing empathetic, evidence-based care for those navigating fertility and gynaecological concerns. I was selected for subspecialty training in the highly competitive Certificate of Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility (CREI) and have successfully completed all examinations for this qualification—a distinction achieved by fewer than 2% of doctors in Obstetrics and Gynaecology.
I serve as the Clinical Lead of Fertility Services at Western Health and am devoted to teaching the next generation of specialists as part of the faculty at The Royal Women’s Hospital in Melbourne. Privately, I consult at Life Fertility Clinic in Fitzroy and Riverina IVF offering personalised care in beautifully appointed rooms designed for comfort and confidentiality.
My commitment to advancing the field is reflected in active research projects, focusing on platelet-rich plasma therapies and innovations in embryo biopsy for preimplantation genetic testing (PGT). These projects ensure that patients receive care informed by the latest scientific advancements.
Transforming fertilty care
My clinical interests include:
Fertility treatments such as ovulation induction, intrauterine insemination, and IVF
Egg freezing for those not in a position to have a baby now but may want to in the future
Management of polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) and endometriosis
Minimally invasive gynaecological surgery
Recurrent pregnancy loss and recurrent implantation failure
Fertility preservation for those undertaking other treatments which may impair fertility such as chemotherapy
I pride myself on developing individualised treatment plans, recognising every patient’s journey as unique and deserving of empathy and respect. In addition to consulting, I co-host the podcast Fertility Untamed, where I share insights and empower listeners with up-to-date reproductive health information.
If you are exploring your fertility options or seeking comprehensive women’s health support, you are warmly welcomed into my practice—a space where advanced science and heartfelt care come together.
