Hospital Contacts
As a maternity patient of Dr Guy Skinner’s you have a choice of two private hospitals for your birth: St Vincent’s Private Hospital in Fitzroy, and Epworth Freemasons Hospital in East Melbourne.
Guy is a consultant obstetrician and gynaecologist to both institutions, and has taught and mentored many of the permanent staff at both hospitals. We recommend you have a look at both St Vincent’s and Freemasons to see which hospital suits your needs, birth plan or location best.
Once you have decided which hospital you prefer, please advise our staff so they can make your hospital booking. We do recommend doing this as early as possible, as availability may sometimes be limited.We are happy to assist you with any questions you may have about booking a room or birthing suite at either hospital.
For all hospital contact details please speak to one of our friendly staff. Both hospitals sit at the most respected end of care, and are known for their excellent medical outcomes.
