Dr Alwyn Dunn is a graduate of the University of Queensland and has specialist qualifications with the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Obstetrics and Gynaecology since 2000. He has a strong lifelong interest in procedural medicine and surgery with extensive previous surgical experience in several areas of surgery prior to training over 9 years full time in Obstetrics and Gynaecology. He specialised in the advanced Laparoscopic management of Infertility and Endometriosis since commencing private practice and is accredited as a Level 5 Laparoscopic surgeon at Pindara Private Hospital.
His training in Fertility Surgery and the Laparoscopic surgical management of Endometriosis was in New Zealand over 4 years at the Wellington Women’s Hospital which provided public IVF and Fertility services. He was involved with the initial establishment of their Endometriosis treatment unit in 1999 while working as a lecturer for the University of Otago Medical School. Since this time he has remained at the forefront of the developments of the surgical management of Endometriosis with a special interest in fertility preservation surgery gained from his IVF practice.
The management of the various surgical aetiologies of infertility is a specialised area requiring a strong awareness and experience in both laparoscopic surgery and IVF. Appropriate Laparoscopic infertility surgery is frequently integral to the successful outcomes in IVF especially in cases of recurrent IVF failure and is not the province of general IVF doctors or Gynaecology Surgeons without IVF experience.
Q&A:
Dr Dunn: “Combining over 25 years of IVF and surgical experience, I support patients through infertility, endometriosis care, surgery, and delivery under one clinician.”
Dr Dunn: “I deliver full infertility work-ups, IUI, IVF and donor options, with an emphasis on natural conception before IVF, about 75% of my patients conceive naturally post-treatment.”
Dr Dunn: “I spend generous time listening to patients, provide options, not directives, and assist them to make informed decisions that align with their values.”
