Dr Renee Wong

Renee has been a member of Women’s Obstetric and Gynaecology Specialists since 2011.

Born in Melbourne and a graduate of the University of Melbourne, Renee was set to become a GP when, while studying for a diploma in obstetrics, she realised that she wanted her career to focus on participating in the hugely meaningful process of childbirth. The sleepless nights and irregular working hours didn’t deter her, in fact they gave Renee a sense of purpose and further fuelled her passion for her work. She completed her specialist training at Monash Medical Centre, Mercy Hospital for Women and The Royal Women’s Hospital.

Renee has a wealth of experience and a wide range of expertise. In 2009, she was a recipient of the prestigious Brown Craig Travelling Scholarship, which is awarded by the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RANZCOG). This honour enabled her to complete a year of subspecialty training as a Maternal Fetal Medicine Fellow in Mount Sinai Hospital, Toronto. During this time, Renee gained valuable skills in fetal ultrasound surveillance and extensive experience in the management of high-risk pregnancies complicated by preterm labour, fetal illness and maternal medical disorders.

She also managed Sinai’s very busy high-risk obstetric labour ward while researching the management of twin pregnancy, placental insufficiency and medication safety in pregnancy. These experiences have informed her clinical interest in the management of multiple pregnancy and maternal medical disorders.

As well as being a private obstetrician and gynaecologist at Frances Perry House, Renee is a consultant obstetrician at The Royal Women’s Hospital, and she enjoys teaching and mentoring junior staff and medical students.

Renee believes in bringing positive energy to her work, and this – combined with her warmth and sense of humour – leads to her building the kind of relationships with her patients and their families that enhance their experiences of pregnancy and birth.

Outside of work, Renee enjoys running and cross training and advocates a considered approach to exercise and nutrition at all times – and particularly in pregnancy. To say that Renee loves food would be an understatement, and she’s a devout believer in the benefits of travel; but her favourite thing of all is spending time with her partner and their two sets of twin children!
