Dr Parmar is committed to evidence-based, compassionate care, devoted entirely to getting you pregnant so you can experience the unique joy of parenthood. This is what motivates her.
Her dedication to fertility medicine during her extensive and storied career working in reproductive sciences at the highest level and seeing thousands of patients in need of fertility care, provides her with the foundation needed to offer you reliable advice and guidance. Her true point of difference lies in the expertise she offers around the diagnosis and treatment of infertility issues, with a particular focus on male and female fertility problems, age-related infertility, and recurrent miscarriages and genetic conditions. This expertise has been developed over the huge volume of fertility cases she has worked on during her career.
Getting a patient pregnant that has been experiencing infertility issues relies almost exclusively on the science of identifying the underlying cause of infertility – something in which experience matters.
Dr Parmar also provides general gynaecological care and reproductive endoscopic gynaecological surgery. Due to her significant experience, she is often sought for second opinions. She operates from Epworth Freemasons Private Hospital in East Melbourne and performs clinical fertility services from Genea East Melbourne.
