COVID-19
I would like to advise our patients that we are taking the concerns about Covid-19 seriously. In particular, our mothers and babies are our number one priority. We are also determined to keep our staff’s health a priority.
To that end I have put in place some precautions for your protection.
- We would ask where possible you attend your appointment unaccompanied
- We offer Teleappointments to those where it is appropriate to do so. Please indicate to staff if you think this would be appropriate to your circumstance. A referral from your GP is still required.
- We strongly advise against attending if you are experiencing any flu like symptoms
- All precautions to maintain social distancing have been put in place in our consulting rooms
- Contingency plans are in place to look after you if you are unfortunate enough to contract Covid-19.
- Strict sanitisation processes are being adhered to
We would like to thank you again for your support through this challenging time. Feel free to discuss any concerns you may have with us.
About Dr Andrew Booker
Dr Andrew Booker graduated from the University of Newcastle in 1996 and began his dedicated training in Obstetrics & Gynaecology at Royal North Shore Hospital in 1999. After completing his Membership training, Andrew established his private practice in Obstetrics & Gynaecology in 2005 at Sydney Adventist Hospital. Both aspects of this specialty are important to Andrew, including the great joy of guiding families through pregnancy and birth, and the respectful care required through various gynaecological issues.
His work experience has been obtained during undergraduate, postgraduate and specialty training terms at Hornsby Hospital, Royal North Shore Hospital, Manly Hospital, Port Macquarie Hospital and overseas in the United Kingdom and Nepal.
Obstetric Services
In his Obstetric practice, Andrew values choice and autonomy for each patient. Whether the request is for a full submersion waterbirth or an elective caesarean section, a mother’s choice matters. Andrew believes communication and up to date evidence-based information are key.
The emotional and social well-being of patients is important to Andrew, especially through the considerable life change of having a baby. He is involved in research projects regarding this.
Andrew assists with the training of medical students, midwifery students, and Obstetric & Gynaecology registrars in his own rooms and in an operating theatre. Andrew has held positions of leadership in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology at Sydney Adventist Hospital and in the Northern Sydney Obstetrics Society.
Dr Booker's Team
Jenny
Rhonda
Jenny is the professional, efficient and cheerful person taking care of the administration. When you phone the office, you may also be greeted by Gayna, who assists in the office on a casual basis.
Jenny and Gayna assist with scheduling appointments, Medicare and Health Fund Information, as well as bookings for admission to hospital. Their challenge is adapting their work around the unpredictable nature of newborn deliveries!
Rhonda is the midwife and nurse in the practice, bringing many years of experience to the care of obstetric and gynaecology patients. She is an enormously beneficial resource available to Obstetric patients, by meeting with each one during their pregnancy and providing phone support before the 6 week check (after baby is born). Rhonda also assists with small gynaecological procedures and Laser Therapy in the rooms.
We have good working relationships with professionals in the areas of Dietetics, Physiotherapy, Psychology and Lactation, and are happy to make referrals as needed.
