Dr. Susan Hiscock
Dr Susan Hiscock delivers babies at Frances Perry House, St Vincent’s Private Hospital and the Freemasons Private Hospital.She is a fellow of RANZCOG.
Susan limits the number of pregnancy’s she delivers in any one month and believes that it is important to build a strong relationship with her patients based on trust and care. Sue has chosen the above named hospitals because of their excellent facilities and midwifery support.​Currently Sue has a cover arrangement with Doctor Amber Moore.
Her philosophy is very simple, happy healthy baby, happy healthy mother and a father still standing, and that the most important person during your pregnancy is you.
On your first consultation with Sue she will scan you to help determine your due date. She will then discuss with you the different types of tests that may be relevant to your pregnancy. Some of these have to be organised by the 12th week so it is preferable that you book early with your first visit around 8-10 weeks this can be done by calling the rooms, she spends about 45 minutes with you on your first visit.
