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.
