He will explain all the options in simple terms, so you can decide what your preferred birthing experience looks like: whether you want a minimal intervention natural birth after spontaneous labour, right to the other end of the spectrum: a caesarean section at your request.
With the right doctor, you have more options and more say in your care than ever before. Unfortunately, few obstetricians working today have the expertise and experience to offer you the full range of birthing options.
David trained through a time when vaginal breech, twins, VBAC and birth suite management skills were part of everyday work – which means he has a broader skill base that can’t be obtained in the current obstetric environment.
For many reasons the caesarean section rate is much higher now preventing development of these skills.
Of course, if a caesarean section is your desired birthing experience, you will have the warm support of David and his staff.
The point is: the choice is yours from all the options.
This is why David’s caesarean section rate remains well below the average rate for the hospitals he works in. And, this flexibility is a big reason why his practice has thrived from its opening day.
Of course, everything we’ve described so far is just the start of David’s process…

It starts with your health and the health of your baby.
These are the two most important factors in any decisions we make together over the course of your pregnancy.
We make decisions with these two elements top of mind, and everything else flows from there.
As stated, the health of the baby – and your health – are the foundations by which we approach all decision making.
The health of the mother and the baby is equally important. And in truth, almost always the decision made to benefit one, benefits the other.
There’s never a time we have to choose.
After ensuring the health of you and your baby, the next part of David’s process is helping you achieve your ideal birth, on your terms.
David’s experience means you get to choose from the full range of birthing options, so you can go with the kind of birth that’s right for you – whatever that may be!
David’s aim is to help you feel as safe and calm as possible – and help you make memories you can cherish forever.
