Dr Rose McDonnell is a gynaecologist, an obstetrician, and an IVF infertility specialist based in Subiaco, WA. She works out of Suite 209, 25 McCourt Street at SJOG Health Care, where appointments are set up for real-life needs, not just one-time check-ups.
In clinic, Dr McDonnell helps women at different stages of life. That might mean regular cervical cancer screening, like Pap smears, and simple plans to keep things on track. She also looks after people when they need help with birth control—whether it’s starting a method, talking through options, or managing prescriptions.
Pregnancy care is another big part of her work. She can help with pregnancy tests, early pregnancy support, and prenatal care as things progress. At times, people also need extra guidance around spotting, bleeding, or general worries in the first stages. Dr McDonnell keeps conversations clear and steady, so you know what’s happening and what the next step is.
Menstrual problems come up often too. Dr McDonnell helps manage menstrual disorders, working through what might be causing symptoms and what treatment can help. She also does breast exams and can organise mammogram referrals when they’re needed, so care stays practical and timely.
For patients facing fertility challenges, Dr McDonnell offers IVF-focused care. Infertility can be a stressful and emotional journey. She understands that the process can bring up lots of questions, and she aims to guide patients through the next steps in a way that feels manageable.
Over time, her practice has built around common, day-to-day concerns in women’s health, from routine screening and pregnancy support to longer-term planning for fertility and reproductive health. She brings a calm approach to appointments, especially when symptoms feel confusing or stressful.
Her education and clinical training are based in women’s health care, including gynaecology and obstetrics. This background supports how she looks after patients—whether the visit is for something routine, something new, or something that needs careful ongoing management.
Research and clinical trials aren’t the main focus of how she talks about care, but she stays up to date with what’s relevant for patients. The goal is simple: help patients feel informed, supported, and looked after at each stage.
