Dr. Ben Stephens
About Me
I am a Generalist Obstetrician and Gynaecologist with a focus on infertility. Prior to beginning my medical training in 2010, I worked in agriculture in rural New South Wales. Because of this previous experience working in rural and regional Australia, I bring a diverse life experience to my clinical practice.
After graduating from the Australian National University Medical School, I focused on Women’s Health and completed my core training in Obstetrics and Gynaecology at the Centenary Hospital for Women and Children in Canberra. I then pursued advanced training in minimally invasive surgery in Adelaide before returning to Canberra in 2022 to complete my obstetric training and further training with IVF Australia in Sydney.
In my free time, I enjoy everything that Canberra and the region has to offer.
My Qualifications
I hold a Masters in Reproductive Medicine from the University of New South Wales and have published academic papers on patient blood management and quality improvement programs.
I offer a supportive and measured approach to patient care and prioritise the use of contemporary, evidence-based medicine.
