Q&A:
Dr Elgey: “Having been through IVF in my own family building journey, I understand the emotional highs and lows intimately. It shapes how I support patients. I make sure we walk through every step together, with clarity and compassion.”
Dr Elgey: “Complex laparoscopy allows us to treat conditions like endometriosis and pelvic adhesions directly, often improving fertility while avoiding more invasive procedures.”
