I was referred to Dr Ades because of his expertise with Laparoscopic Transabdominal Cerclage. I had a lot of trouble with my previous pregnancies and was losing hope of having a term pregnancy until I heard about this operation. I flew from Sydney to Melbourne to have surgery and it was the best thing I could have done. Dr Ades staff was extremely helpful with bookings appointments, admission to hospital, etc to suit my flights and accommodation. Dr Ades is very approchable and always seemed to find time in his busy schedule to answer my questions and address my concerns. He has a balanced and objective approach to facts and is very good at explaining medical terminology. The surgery couldn't have gone better. I went back to the hotel a few hours after the procedure. The following day all I needed was Panadol for pain relief and 3 days later I was flying back to Sydney. I am very grateful for everything Dr Ades did for me and I am looking forward to falling pregnant again.
