Dr. Colin Walsh - Obstetrician

We went to see Dr Walsh after a pregnancy loss at 22 weeks. We saw Dr Walsh to put a plan in place pre-pregnancy as well as throughout our pregnancy with our rainbow baby. Dr Walsh was amazing - he was compassionate to our situation and was very accomodating to alleviate any anxiety or fear whilst also allowing us to enjoy our pregnancy. He listened to all of our concerns and provided us with all information that we could possibly need. There was never a time that we felt our questions weren’t answered or that we didn’t have the support we needed.
Dr Walsh has an amazing team who are always available to answer questions or provide information or support.
We were so lucky to have found Dr Walsh and his team and will definitely be returning!

Dr Walsh was a huge help to us during our pregnancy and worked alongside my OB to make sure we knew exactly what was happening with our little one to get her here safely.

Dr Walsh has a great way of explaining things and is so easy to chat with. He has a good sense of humour and made a stressful time for us much easier.

Dr Walsh is an amazing obstetrician. Very thorough, state of the art equipment , located a stones throw from the hospital, which is super useful during labour. He and his team are all very friendly and kind. I was referred to him after a pregnancy loss and he has since seen me through to 3 rainbow babies. The sense of calm and reassurance he gave me through each pregnancy is what you need in a high risk pregnancy. My family wouldn’t be here without him. Can’t thank him enough! Highly recommended.

Sincerest thanks for the safe and healthy arrival of our first child. As first time parents, pregnancy can be quiet overwhelming and daunting. From the moment I enquired at Dr Colin's office every single person has been so helpful and kind. Throughout the pregnancy it gave us such peace of mind to have a scan at each visit and Colin your thoroughness was so appreciated.

The whole experience has been hugely positive and we were so thrilled to have chosen Colin and your practice as our OB.

Colin’s expertise, enthusiasm and honesty created the perfect model of care during my second pregnancy. Nicole, Carolyn and Lisa make every appointment easy and welcoming.
In every interaction with Colin, I felt listened to and I learned something. I will continue to highly recommend Colin and will definitely be back if we have a third baby.

I don’t know where to begin with praising Dr Colin Walsh and his team!

Dr Walsh was both professional yet endearing throughout my pregnancy journey and from the onset I felt completely comfortable in his care. His expertise was demonstrated and felt at each consultation and being able to having all my scans personally performed by him was both comforting and reassuring.

Every question was answered and I felt reassured and relief after each consultation. He also frequently popped past in the labour ward to check in on how both I and my daughter were doing!

We look forward to going back to Dr Walsh in the near future!

Colin is an incredible obstetrician. I moved to Sydney a few years ago and am so glad that I went with him to deliver my third baby. He is very professional, yet funny and calming. I always felt looked after when I was with him and his team and that he was there for me to represent what I wanted in a safe environment. I remember how highly the hospital staff spoke of him and even to this day, I bump into people who also had Colin as their obstetrician. If we ever have a fourth, we will definitely be going back to him!

Colin is an exceptional obstetrician.

My husband and I feel extremely fortunate to have had someone of his calibre managing the recent pregnancy and delivery of our MCDA twin boys at The Mater. As others have commented, you'd be hard pressed to find anyone in Australia with more qualifications and global experience in twin obstetrics.

Credentials aside, Colin is also incredibly accessible, reassuring and kind. When I first found out that we were expecting MCDA twins I was very anxious about all of the complications that could be ahead. From the first appointment with Colin, he really took his time to explain and unravel - with diagrams if needed! - all of the potential scenarios and outcomes that I would come prepared to catastrophize about.

His approach is balanced between ensuring you're able to make evidence based, informed decisions - without trying to scaremonger or influence in any way, which I greatly appreciated.

And of course everything sounds just a tad more reassuring and soothing in an Irish accent!

Remarkably for someone who is so in demand, I don't think he was ever running late for an appointment. His rooms are warm and welcoming and his team - Nicole, Carolyn and Lisa - create a wonderful support system and welcoming faces.

Being able to receive all scans in Colin's room is also a HUGE bonus. Less travelling around Sydney, and the reassurance that it's Colin himself conducting the scans and reviewing the results week-to-week so you know you have continuity of care and that any issues will be picked up swiftly.

Colin got me to 35+2 when some late stage changes in positioning meant a 24 hour turnaround from a routine appointment to holding my babies. Looking back, this should have been a stressful day but Colin was so confident and assured in what needed to happen and putting all the pieces into play, that I didn't even feel like it was a semi-emergency situation. For someone who loves to panic! The fact I didn't even appreciate there was something to be worried about goes to show how commanding he is under pressure and working with shifting sands.

I have three kids now but would seriously consider a fourth if it means I get to have Colin and his wonderful team looking after me again.

We found Dr Colin to be outstanding throughout the pregnancy and delivery.

My partner and I quite enjoyed his sense of humour and dry wit.

Dr Colin had a way of explaining things that would appease my anxiety. He was very confident, matter of fact and precise in each conversation about my and my babies health.

The accuracy and details of the scans were impressive, he would always take his time to make sure he had each measure correct before moving on to the next task.

The planned c section was a very positive experience. Dr Colin explained this well beforehand and it was exactly as he had predicted. I appreciated his follow up in the rooms at The Mater Hospital and continuum of care.

I have recovered extremely well post c section and look forward to my 6 week follow up.

We are beyond impressed and feel extremely lucky to have had Dr Colin for our first pregnancy and baby. We will not hesitate in recommending him to any new parents and hope to see him again if we decide to have another baby.

Very knowledgeable professional approachable doctor!!! I had high risk pregnancy with MCDA twin boys and had c section with Dr Colin Walsh 2.5 years ago. My whole pregnancy journey was well managed by Dr Walsh and his team. With very frequent ultrasound scans towards to the end of my pregnancy, I could have all these scans done by Dr Walsh in his practice. The c section went smoothly and surgical scar is minimal now. Dr Walsh's receptionists are amazing too. Thank you very much for all of your professional care. I highly recommend Dr Walsh.

Dr Colin Walsh is a brilliant Obstetrician and a lovely man. He took very good care of us throughout my first pregnancy and birth. We found that he was always on time for our appointments which is incredible for a Doctor delivering babies every day- we really valued that he respects everyone’s time and is punctual. We never felt rushed in our consultations and he was always so patient with our questions. We always felt that we were in the very best hands- He explains everything so well and provides thorough information. He has a great sense of humour and is a very calm person - this made us feel relaxed, even during the birth. He really listened to our birth wishes and made us feel that we were in control in terms of decisions. All the ladies at reception are so lovely and accommodating- we highly recommend Colin and his wonderful team.

Dr Walsh is an experienced Obstetrician and a lovely person. We consulted him for our first pregnancy and it was a seamless journey for us. His knowledge and experience is commendable.
His level of patience to respond to any question is great. To every question of ours his explanation was always convincing and that helped us build more and more confidence during the journey.
We would say to anyone who decides to consult him "You are in safe hands"
His entire team is very friendly and supportive. We would highly recommend him.
Thank you Dr Walsh and entire team.
Kind regards
Mrs. Nebhani

I would definitely recommend Dr. Colin Walsh to any expecting women! Throughout my pregnancy, birth and post delivery, he was very professional, kind and made me feel comfortable. Dr Walsh really looks after you and you can genuinely see that he provides the best care he can even after delivery. Also, Nicole and Lisa who are part of his team are very kind and very welcoming at every appointment. I would highly recommend Dr. Colin Walsh's services, and definitely have him as my OB for my next pregnancy. Carlos and I are truly grateful to have him deliver our baby girl Alina. See you again soon!!!

Colin is a lovely man, who provides a level of care you will not find anywhere else. I felt incredibly comfortable & taken care of throughout my entire pregnancy with Colin & his amazing team! Even the hospital staff at North Shore Private all speak incredibly highly of Colin.

I highly recommend Colin & his team, not only do they have the latest technology to see your little one- but their knowledge and bedside manner is above and beyond. I will be seeing Colin for my next pregnancy 100%.

Highly recommend Dr Colin Walsh and his team.
I had a traumatic and high risk first pregnancy so I wanted someone who had the experience and compassion I needed to get me safely through a second pregnancy.
Dr Colin Walsh was patient and caring throughout my whole pregnancy, happily answered my endless amount of questions and explained everything to me as the pregnancy progressed. I felt safe and he was always vigilant with my monitoring.
I lovely, kind man who has a wealth of knowledge and experience.

Dr. Walsh is truly an exceptional obstetrician, I can’t praise him enough. My husband and I never met such a thorough, patient and sincerely interested in their patients well-being, doctor. His ability to field questions shows how well trained and smart he is and he proved himself on the day of my planned C-section.

Everyone in the office has a great bedside manner and operates with the highest level of professionalism but friendly at the same time. Thank you very much Dr. Colin, Nicole and Lisa for the fantastic service! I have already recommended this practice to several people.

Dr Walsh is one of the best OBGYN. He is incredibly professional and knowledgeable in his field. He showed extra care in every aspect and always ensures that I was comfortable and understood every aspect of my pregnancy and took me through every stage with the best care possible. He is very easy to get along with and talk to and he never makes you feel like you are asking any silly questions. Without any doubts I would recommend Dr Walsh to my family and friends.

I did a lot of research before choosing an obstetrician. Take a look at Colin's website and you'll get a real sense of his skill (which is also evident in the vast number of published papers he has written) and importantly his manner. The added bonus of Colin doing all the diagnostic scans at his rooms just also makes life easier. A wonderfully down to earth doctor with excellent bedside manner, who made me feel in very safe hands every step of the way from my dating scan until delivery in October and the subsequent postpartum check up. My husband also felt very included in all of the appointments and really appreciated that. Colin's team, Lisa and Nicole, are also fantastic - incredibly quick to respond and so friendly. Will definitely be heading back to see Colin when we are ready for baby number 2.

Very happy with the care Dr Walsh and his team provided us during my pregnancy. Dr Walsh is very knowledgeable and factual in his approach, and has great bedside manner. I had gestational diabetes and he managed this well as he really has the best interest for your baby. His team, Nicole and Lisa are organised and helpful, and appointments were convenient as Colin is able to do scans in his room. We now have a very happy and healthy bub!

Colin and his team at Shore for Women were amazing. I saw Colin from 7 weeks onwards until the caesarean birth of my beautiful healthy little boy 10 weeks ago. To say it was such an absolute pleasure and privilege to have such an incredible doctor looking after myself and my Bub is an understatement. The care Colin provided was outstanding. His incredible knowledge and skills as an obstetrician gave me the peace of mind knowing I was in the best of hands. Having Colin undertake every scan personally was very reassuring, he would take the time to discuss the scans in detail and happily answer any questions you may have. The level of care provided at every stage of my pregnancy was incredible. I really felt I was in the best of hands with him!!

The girls at Shore for Women were fantastic as well. Both Lisa and Nicole were welcoming, friendly and knowledgeable when it came to running the practice, a true pleasure. I would highly recommend Dr Colin Walsh and his team if you want an amazing pregnancy experience.
