Biography

Dr Joseph Drentin is an obstetrician and gynaecologist who works collaboratively with his patients to best support them through all stages of their lives.

As well as conventional forms of analgesia, Joseph is happy to integrate calm-birthing and hypno-birthing techniques into birthing plans, aiming to deliver all babies in a calm and safe environment.

He has extensive experience in complex and high-risk pregnancies, and laparoscopic techniques for treating general gynaecological concerns including benign ovarian cysts, ectopic pregnancy, and mild-to-moderate endometriosis.

Joseph studied medicine at Melbourne University and graduated in 1985. He subsequently worked in general practice and emergency medicine, before undertaking formal training in obstetrics and gynaecology at hospitals in Brisbane and Melbourne.
