The best there is!

Pregs is the most wonderful OBGYN! I switched to Pregs after he came highly recommended to me, and I am so glad I did! He assisted me pre-pregnancy and right throughout my pregnancy and birth; no question or concern is ever too silly! He is kind, caring and thorough, and his relaxed bedside manner immediately puts you at ease and makes you feel cared for and supported. Both he and his wonderful receptionist, Corrine, made the whole process such a positive one, and I one day look forward to visiting him again for my second! I could not recommend him enough.

Warm and welcoming

Has delivered two of my children along with many within our family. Listens to your concerns and wishes, has a warm and welcoming personality, doesn’t suggest invasive and unnecessary procedures and not pushy with recommendations. Price is reasonable and hasn’t been inflated over the years like other OBGYNs working out of epworth. Plus he has nurses on call for the first 6 weeks postpartum and throughout the pregnancy you can call if you have any questions/concerns.

Have recommended Preggs to all my friends who are looking to start a family.

Thorough, calm & extremely skilled

Dr. Pregs was the perfect doctor for us throughout my pregnancy - he was thorough, efficient and always knew exactly what to say and what would help me. He delivered my baby in such an extremely proficient manner, I had an emergency C-Section but there were absolutely no complications with me or my baby at delivery and my scar healed within a week as well. Definitely going back for baby number 2!

Dr Pregs is truly amazing! I felt safe and supported throughout the whole journey. His calming nature made me feel at ease throughout the whole pregnancy. My baby and I couldn't have been in safer hands.
Thank you Dr Pregs you are the best!

Dr Pregs delivered 2 of my babies and I couldn’t be happier under his care. He is calm, highly experienced and made me feel at ease. His attitude and bedside manner is exceptionally praiseworthy. We truly appreciate the time Dr Pregs has given to us during my challenging second pregnancy. I had 2 c-section for both of my babies, one was 11 years ago and the most recent procedure was only 7 weeks ago. Even after so many years, Dr. Pregs still is the best Obstetrician. Thank you very much Dr. Pregs for everything.

Dr Pillay was the obstetrician for both of our children. Both pregnancies had some complications, which were handled in a very satisfactory manner. Dr Pillay is incredibly knowledgeable and experienced, and it was very reassuring having scans done by him at every appointment. Always felt like I was in very good hands. The team is fantastic too.

I had a wonderful experience with Dr Pregs. I went to him for my second birth to attempt a VBAC. Although I ultimately needed another c-section, I feel Dr Pregs supported my wishes and gave me the best chance to have a VBAC, while still being safe.

Throughout the experience I felt that Dr Pregs was respectful, helpful and supportive. He happily and calmly answered calls outside of hours and was always available for additional appointments to talk about any of my concerns.

I would highly recommend him to anyone.

Pregs was the obstetrician for both my daughters and we were so happy with him… honestly can’t recommend him enough. He is very thorough, scans at every appointment and always returns calls after hours… of which there were plenty. I am a very anxious person and he made me feel very calm and reassured.

04 Nov 2022

Dr Pregs has safely delivered my 2 children and I would highly recommend him. He is the best doctor and easy to approach and talk to. The team is fantastic too.

27 Oct 2022

I highly recommend Dr Pregs Pillay, who is an extremely thorough, attentive and genuine professional. He was our obstetrician for all four of our pregnancies, two of which resulted in miscarriages. At all times, Dr Pregs provided exceptional care l, welcoming questions, sharing knowledge and respecting birthing preferences. Dr Pregs’ team - Corinne and Alison - are truly wonderful: caring, efficient and gracious. We cannot thank Dr Pregs enough for his support, guidance and expertise on our family’s journey.

Dr Pillay is an attentive, gentle and caring obstetrician. He truly cares about his patients and will go above and beyond to ensure the best care for them throughout their pregnancy. I had complications during both of my pregnancies and there is no one else I would have trusted with my care to ensure my health and the health of my babies. He is incredibly knowledgeable and experienced and it was very reassuring having scans done by him at every appointment. When we had two miscarriages between our babies, Pregs was there and intervened early when I fell pregnant again. I am sure it is because of his early intervention that I now have baby number 2.

Cannot recommend him more and will be returning if we ever decide to have more.

Dr Pregs delivered our beautiful daughter who needed to do an urgent c-section. All pre-natal appointments were absolutely great. He is caring and very calm, which was for us the most important thing as my wife has always been terrified about having a baby. His positive attitude made it all easier. Would 100% recommend him.

04 Sep 2022

If there were more stars to give then I would happily give it all to Dr. Pregs.

I chose him for my first pregnancy after reading all the great reviews and surely he didn't disappoint us! He is super cool and knowledgeable. Gave the best care throughout my pregnancy and delivered our beautiful baby boy safely. His decision making skills are remarkable. He is the best at what he does!

I highly recommend Dr. Pregs and team. Have no doubts when choosing him as you are going in with one of the best!!!

Dr Pregs is one of a kind. He speaks less, no dramas, always trust his instincts and his advise and suggestions will be spot on. He has been so kind to us throughout pregnancy. Attention to detail is a plus with him. Will definitely come back to him for any future pregnancies. Highly recommend Dr. Pregs to his awesome work.

Dr pregs deilvered both of my bubs. He is such a caring, calm and positive person and always felt like I was in the right hands. He would always answer my calls and questions and I always felt supported by him. Corrine is fantastic and always welcoming. Could not recommend Dr Pregs and his team enough!!

29 Aug 2022

Highly recommend Dr Pregs Pillay and his wonderful team.
With such a caring and gentle nature he put my mind at ease and listen to every concern I had and constantly made all my feelings validated.

The receptionist Corrine was absolutely beautiful and always did the best job at answering all my questions and making me feel welcome at every visit

08 Jul 2022

Pregs was the on call Dr when I had my first back in 2020, he made me feel so calm and relaxed so when I found I was pregnant in 2021 I knew I wanted him to be our Dr.

Right from the beginning he made the journey so simple. He’s such a lovely, genuine, kind, knowledgeable, humble and approachable man. Nothing was ever too much, even when I called his pager at 6am crying in pain due to the pressure on my uterus he immediately called me back and said to come in and we’ll start induction.

If we ever have a third child he would be the person I would go to straight away. I highly recommend him to potential parents.

Thank you for everything Dr Pillay.

We loved Dr. Pregs.
I honestly can't recommend highly enough.
I am 43 and just had my first baby. Dr. Pregs made the journey easy and peaceful. He was reassuring, calm, thorough and approachable. Never made me feel like I was asking a stupid question, and I'm sure I asked many!
He was incredibly thorough at each appointment. Never rushed and always ran on time.
He continued to be available and assist after birth with questions we had.
Huge shout out to Corinne also, she was an absolute delight to speak with at each appointed. She is full of helpful insights and advice. They are a great team!

26 Feb 2022

Being first time parents during the pandemic made me quite anxious, but Dr Pregs’s calm and kind demeanour has reassured me.
I had a positive experience and smooth delivery with Dr Pregs and his team. :)

27 Jan 2022

Pregs delivered my firstborn recently. Throughout the whole pregnancy, each appointment was very smooth and straightforward and Pregs made me feel reassured about everything. I had a bit of a complication at birth but even then, I was able to stay calm as I trusted Pregs and his decisions. I will definitely be coming back if I have another child!

19 Jan 2022

Pregs came highly recommended by a friend and has since delivered our two children. His cool and calm demeanor made both births a positive experience. We found him very knowledgeable and supportive of our plans and we would not hesitate to recommend him to friends and family. Corinne and the front desk team incredibly helpful. A great experience

18 Jan 2022

Dr Pregs delivered both of my babies. After I saw him for the first one I couldn’t have imagined seeing anyone else. He is the most calm and friendly professional I’ve ever met. Even though we didn’t have private health cover for our second one - there was no one else I wanted to see so we paid and I didn’t regret it. When you go with Pregs you know you and your baby are in the best hands.

12 Jan 2022

Pregs has delivered both my children and I can't imagine ever seeing anyone else.
Pregs is calm, caring and willing to answer all of my questions at every appointment. He is thorough and helps me understand all risks associated with various decisions through pregnancies. Both my daughters were delivered via c-section and I felt comfortable with his experience and certainly had an easy recovery from both.
We were unfortunate to experience a loss of pregnancy mid-way through, and we will never forget Pregs care and compassion during a very difficult time, where we had to make hard choices and go through an awful process.
I will continue to see Pregs for my gyno requirements and can't recommend them highly enough.
Corrine and the administration staff are lovely too!

12 Jan 2022

Dr Pregs is an exceptional professional. He’s very calm and collected at all times and helps you feel at ease whenever there is a concern. He always go above and beyond to ensure the safety of mum and baby. We’ve had two children delivered by Dr Pregs and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him.

Dr Pregs has to be one of the most calm and approachable doctors I have met! He delivered our baby girl in Feb 2021 with no complications post partum. I had developed some complications later in the pregnancy and he monitored me so closely that I was never concerned for my health or baby’s. I also love that he does a thorough scan of baby at every appointment and was very accurate with predicting her birth weight. I won’t hesitate to go back for baby number 2. He also has lovely staff that make you feel very welcome.

Pregs delivered all our daughters. Very caring and calm. Nothing was ever too much for Pregs or his staff. Highly recommended. Thanks Pregs.

10 Jun 2021

I was determined to do my research properly and find the best obstetrician for my second as my first birth experience was traumatic. Pregs is just wonderful- reassuring, practical, kind and knowledgeable. He came highly recommended to me by many and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a fantastic obstetrician in Melbourne.

Confident and reassuring - Dr Pregs

verified email - 01 Mar 2021

It’s true I have never seen another obstetrician for either of my pregnancy, but if it is a testament of Dr Pillay on both occasions when we had returned to him, it is that we never thought to go to anyone else but Pregs.

There is something so special about Pregs that many women felt connected to. Time and time again, people testify to his great demeanour; being calm and informative; and he is reachable at all times. It’s all true and so much more - Pregs also have a wonderful sense of humour and a great laugh!

He’s very reassuring and each visit is a treat. Above all, I feel comforted and trusted his expert care. I realised I often held my breath at each scan until he would declare everything is good and that he’s happy.

He will be so missed when we are done with having babies. We cannot recommend Dr Pillay and his team enough.
