A/Prof Fiona Brownfoot

I am a specialist obstetrician practicing privately at the Epworth Freemasons and St Vincent’s Hospitals in central Melbourne and I am also an Associate Professor of Obstetrics at the University of Melbourne. I am passionate about what I do and working with women just like you every day.

Guiding women through the joys and challenges of pregnancy, birth and into the postnatal period is really rewarding. Getting to know my patients and listening to their wishes is extremely important to me, allowing me to individualise their care.
