What inspired you to specialise in IVF and fertility?
Fertility care drew me in because it brings together science, emotion, and hope. Supporting couples through such a deeply emotional and meaningful chapter of their lives—and watching them become parents—is incredibly fulfilling. Every baby born through treatment is a beautiful reminder of why I chose this path.
What do you find most rewarding about your work?
The joy in my patients’ eyes when they hear a heartbeat for the first time or hold their newborn—it’s indescribable. These aren’t just medical milestones; they’re life-changing moments. Being part of them is incredibly humbling.
What are the most common myths around IVF?
One common fear is that eggs or sperm might get mixed up during IVF. This concern is understandable but completely unfounded. IVF labs follow strict safety protocols, including double witnessing and multiple verification steps to ensure every sample is handled with absolute care.
Another myth is that IVF is painful or traumatic. While it does involve injections and procedures, modern techniques have made the process far more comfortable and manageable than most people expect.
