Why Choose POGS


Perth Obstetrics and Gynaecology Specialists (POGS) is a well established small specialist group practice that provides patient centred high quality care in Obstetrics and Gynaecology. 


POGS was started in MtLawley, Perth, in 2011 by Specialist Obstetricians and Gynaecologists Dr Ana Perkovic, Dr Patrick Wu and Dr Pierre Smith with Dr Patricia Wong joining in 2020. Together, we have delivered more than 6000 babies and performed countless gynaecological procedures.


POGS provides specialist medical care to our patients with a doctor  on call  24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We operate a unique group practice model where all  gynaecology and obstetrics patients can choose their preferred doctor and Obstetric patients get to meet all the doctors on the on-call roster prior to the birth. We understand how special every pregnancy and childbirth is and will do our best to support you to have the birth you want. It is our job to ensure that we have healthy mother and baby at the end of this journey and will work with you to achieve both.


Our specialists work alongside a dedicated team of midwives and administrative staff who make women feel welcome, supported and safe throughout their pregnancy journey.


POGS  midwives are essential members of our team and provide a unique input and perspective into pregnancy care, childbirth and post-natal care. Our midwives are on duty in our practice every day of the week from 8 am to 5 pm to take calls and consult with our patients. They provide education, pregnancy assessments, perform CTGs (fetal heart rate monitoring), assist with breastfeeding, do vaccinations, provide advice, answer questions, and complement the services provided by our specialists.


Women, their partners and babies become part of our POGS family.



Our reception staff are also part of team that treat patients. We rely on them and they understand how important their role as first contact with patients is. They will treat you with respect, listen to you and find a spot if urgent visits are requested. If one is not available will discuss your situation with our midwives or doctors. There is always a doctor in our clinic during office hours (one of the benefits of working in a group.) We have to give priority to existing patients so urgent appointments for other patients are limited.


POGS make private Specialist Obstetrics and Gynaecology care more accessible. We offer affordable rates, minimise out-of-pocket expenses where possible and are fully transparent with our fees and charges. There are no added costs for high risk pregnancies. There are discounts for women having there third and fourth babies with POGS.

 

POGS is situated at the ground floor of the  SJOG Mt Lawley Hospital Medical Centre, Ellesmere Rd, Mt Lawley. Our Specialist Obstetricians have admitting rights to deliver babies at SJOG Mt Lawley and SJOG Subiaco. All gynaecology surgery is done at SJOG Mt Lawley.
