specialist Care & access for bass coast women

Our practice offers a full range of gynaecological and fertility services, maintaining continuity of care from your initial consultation through to your diagnosis, treatment and long-term management.

Dr Holden believes that woman should be able to access specialist care, no matter where they are. By consulting at multiple locations across the Bass Coast, such as Wonthaggi and Philip Island or Newhaven, we reduce the need for travel and associated costs, and perform surgical procedures at both regional private and public hospitals.

  • Building a family is a deeply personal journey. Dr Holden provides comprehensive fertility assessments and advanced assisted reproductive technologies, including Ovulation Induction and In Vitro Fertilisation (IVF). All specialised procedures, including egg retrieval and embryo transfers, are conducted at a state-of-the-art laboratory at Create Fertility in Mount Waverley.

  • Diagnostic and therapeutic management for gynaecological conditions, including:

    • Endometriosis and Pelvic Pain: Dedicated support for identifying and treating chronic inflammatory conditions.

    • Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS): Holistic management of hormonal and metabolic health.

    • Menstrual Disorders: Personalised management plans for heavy, painful or irregular cycles.

    • Colposcopy: Specialist review and investigation for abnormal cervical screening results.

  • Dr Holden is a highly skilled laparoscopic and hysteroscopic surgeon. Our practice prioritises these techniques, also known as keyhole surgery to help reduce post-operative pain, minimise scarring and reduce recovery time (when compared to open surgery).

  • You can book an appointment without one, but you will need a valid GP referral to claim the Medicare rebate for your consultation. A referral also provides Dr Holden with your medical history, which helps provide a more thorough assessment from your first visit.

  • Dr Holden operates at several locations depending on the procedure required and patient preference, including Waverley Private Hospital (Mount Waverley), Peninsula Private Hospital (Langwarrin), and Bayside Health (Wonthaggi).

  • Absolutely. Dr Holden is committed to supporting regional women and families with consultations available at our Wonthaggi or Newhaven/Philip Island clinics. Though certain procedures like egg retrieval occur at the Create Fertility lab in Mount Waverley, much of your cycle monitoring can often be coordinated closer to home.

  • Please bring your GP referral, any recent blood test results and any relevant imaging reports (such as pelvic ultrasounds). If you are seeking fertility support, it is necessary for your partner to attend the initial consultation as well.
