Dr Chester Yeoh
Gynaecologist
M.B.B.S., F.R.A.N.Z.C.O.G.
Graduating with Honours from Monash University, trained in Melbourne and London, Dr Yeoh brings a wealth of experience to his clinical practice in Gynaecology. Established in Mitcham he offers a range of services to manage the problems women face from a young age through to their later years.
His Gynaecological expertise enables care in:
- menstrual disorders including polycystic ovaries
- endometriosis
- fibroids
- urinary incontinence and prolapse
- abnormal Pap smears
- pelvic pain
- menopause
- contraception
- infertility
Establishing the Whitehorse Pelvic Floor and Continence Service to assist women with prolapse and incontinence, he works in conjunction with pelvic floor physiotherapists to help maximise treatment out comes for women. He regularly undertakes urodynamic bladder studies to assist in the diagnosis of bladder symptoms before embarking on treatment. He is an advocate of using non-surgical techniques especially magnetic therapy as much as possible.
A passionate advocate of keyhole surgery, he is an accredited robotic surgeon using the Da Vinci Robot for complex pelvic surgery. Furthering minimally invasive surgery he has undertaken single incision surgery (SILS). This helps in reducing the pain experienced and offers a better cosmetic outcome.
He also works at Box Hill Hospital, previously holding the position of the Head of one of the Obstetric Units there for over 10 years. Since stepping down from that position, he continues with an active role at the Hospital in managing patients and mentoring Trainees. He is also a Honorary Senior Lecturer at Monash university, teaching medical students from both the Monash and Deakin University faculties.
Underlying all this is his philosophy of providing individualised and compassionate care for women to help them through times in their lives that can be challenging for them and their families.
