Dr. Melissa O’Neill
As a specialist Obstetrician, Dr O’Neill is committed to providing excellent care throughout your pregnancy, birth and beyond.
A passionate and dedicated professional with more than 16 years experience caring for women in her private practice, Dr O’Neill strives to guide women through the journey that is pregnancy and motherhood. As a mother of two, she understands the importance of individualised obstetric care and is committed to a holistic approach that encompasses medical and emotional concerns.
Providing all aspects of specialist obstetric care including low and high risk antenatal care, labour, birth and postnatal care, she works closely with a gifted team of midwives and administration staff. Together they function as a caring, compassionate and dedicated unit devoted to the provision of extraordinary care during this extremely important time.
Dr O’Neill is a graduate of the University of WA Medical School. Her specialist training in Obstetrics and Gynaecology was also based in WA, giving her an excellent understanding of the needs of local mothers. She works exclusively through St John of God Subiaco Hospital because she believes it offers exceptional care for women both in labour and postnatally.
A fellow of the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RANZCOG), Dr O’Neill is also a member of the The National Association of Specialist Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (NASOG) and the Australian Medical Association (AMA).
As a part of her professional affiliations, she regularly attends conferences and continuing medical education programs, ensuring that her patients receive the most up-to-date practices. Dr O’Neill also participates in teaching and mentorship of medical students from both West Australian medical schools.
