East Melbourne Obstetrics and Gynaecology (EMOG) 320 Victoria Parade, East Melbourne, Victoria 3002

"I had all 4 of my children with Shelley, most recently my twins. From the moment I met Shelley she was extremely professional, knowledgeable and most importantly kind. She made me feel extremely safe and cared for. I knew I was in the best hands. She explained all facets of the pregnancy so that I was always informed with the right information and knew what to expect throughout. Prue is an exceptional midwife and was my rock throughout my pregnancies. I would recommend both Shelley and Prue to anyone looking for an outstanding obstetrics team."

"Dr Shelley Rowlands is the most wonderful obstetrician, we could not be happier with the level of care received throughout pregnancy and with the birth of our baby. She provided a safe and considerate environment to talk through birthing options and her bedside manner is simply lovely. Prue the midwife makes an exceptional addition to her team and was friendly and knowledgeable. She runs a number of antenatal workshops including safety and sleeping and breastfeeding tips. I found these workshops provided a huge amount of info that I realised a lot of other first time mums did not receive during their pregnancy, so felt very clued up prior to the birth of our bub. She's also always contactable outside of scheduled visits should you have any questions or concerns throughout pregnancy. Both Shelley and Prue were also open to talking through all options for birth (natural, c-section or induction) and feeding options, which definitely took the pressure off. Highly recommend EMOG!"

"I cannot recommend Dr Shelley Rowlands and the entire EMOG practice enough. They are more than happy to answer all the questions you might have, no matter how silly, throughout your pregnancy and provide wonderful support afterwards when you need it most. Shelley is caring, personable and calming while Pru is always accessible to offer reassurance and guidance. She is also a terrific support particularly in the weeks following your delivery. Helen is also a fabulous sounding board both on the phone and in person, and more than once settled my nerves when something didn't seem entirely right. After two pregnancies and the seamless birth of our boys, I still miss going to see them in their beautiful suite at Epworth Freemasons!"

"From the initial appointment with Shelley she put us at ease and lessened some of our immediate concerns as first time parents. Shelley is a truly genuine, caring person. Despite her incredible knowledge and experience she is able to explain everything in a way that’s easy to understand. She continued to be such a calming influence throughout the pregnancy. Nothing was a bother and she was as compassionate over the phone as in person. We would highly recommend Shelley as an obstetrician and she is accompanied by a fantastic team. Even though they do this every day, they still acknowledge the excitement of a pregnancy and know how to make it a wonderful experience for each family. Most importantly they ensured the safe arrival of our baby girl and we will be forever grateful."

"Dr Rowlands was my OB for our three boys. She was warm, sensitive, knowledgeable and professional at each visit. Shelley took every question I had seriously and showed great compassion during the ups and down of pregnancy. During the delivery, Shelley made me feel safe, comfortable and at ease. The location of the rooms were easy to get too they were always very clean and had the latest equipment. Helen was always friendly, cheerful and informative, whether it was over the phone, in the rooms or when she came to visit in the delivery suites. We feel so thankful that EMOG provided us with the best pregnancy, birth and after care we could have imagined!"
