Waverley Private Hospital would like to introduce Dr Haider Najjar, an obstetrician gynaecologist who graduated in Medicine in 1992. He completed obstetrics and gynaecology training at Monash Medical Centre, where he also went on to complete a fellowship in advanced laparoscopic and minimally invasive surgery.

During his time training at Monash, he received the Young Scientists Award from the International Menopause Society for his research in premature menopause. Haider was also awarded the Travelling Fellowship by the Australian Gynaecology Endoscopic Society for his work conducting laparoscopic training workshops for registrars.

Haider has worked in the Monash Health service for over 20 years and been a consultant for the last 13 years. His private practice is based at Mount Waverley, but he also consults from Malvern, Berwick, and Maryvale.

Haider’s particular niche of clinical interest is fertility surgery and complex laparoscopic procedures, especially those utilising single incision laparoscopic surgery (SILS). He is the pioneer of SILS procedures in Australia and internationally. Patients can be confident that they will benefit from the range of improved outcomes including cosmetic appearance with this surgical approach as opposed to conventional surgical procedures.

As a principal fertility specialist at Melbourne IVF for over a decade, he understands the complexities of infertility and provides an individualised approach to his care and management for his patients. His major forte of expertise in surgical management of infertility includes advanced laparoscopic surgery and management of endometriosis and fibroids.

His perpetual drive-in providing excellence in women’s health led him to become an executive board member and a preceding Treasurer of AGES, being involved in many aspects of the medical and surgical management of women’s health issues.
With Haider’s continual pursuit on improving patient recovery and well-being, his highly effective surgical techniques have been internationally recognised. This is evident through exclusive invitations as a guest speaker and presenter at prestigious medical events such as AGES Annual Scientific and Focus Meetings, AAGL Global Congress, BIT Annual International Congress, SEUD Annual Congress, ISGE Workshops and many more.

Wherever you are on your journey, you will have a positive experience engaging with Haider, especially with his calm, reassuring approach. This is complimented by his detailed knowledge of the latest medical technologies to support you in achieving your desired outcomes.

Haider is also able to consult with patients in Arabic or German if preferred.
