About Dr Sylvester
> Personalised Care

Personalised Pregnancy Care in Perth

Dr Hannah Sylvester is a Specialist Obstetrician and Specialist Sonologist providing personalised pregnancy care for women and families at St John of God Murdoch Hospital. She works exclusively in Obstetrics and delivers only at St John of God Murdoch, combining nearly two decades of obstetric experience with advanced ultrasound expertise to deliver comprehensive, evidence-based care throughout pregnancy, birth and the postnatal period.

Her practice covers the full pregnancy journey: pregnancy planning (preconception care), routine and complex antenatal care, ultrasound at every appointment, delivery (vaginal, instrumental and caesarean), and postnatal follow-up including the 6-week check. She is also a Specialist Sonologist (DDU O&G), meaning in-room obstetric ultrasound is part of every consultation, not a separate appointment.

"I believe every woman deserves to feel informed, supported and actively involved in their care, throughout her pregnancy journey. My goal is to provide clear guidance, compassionate care and a calm, positive birth experience for every family."

Kind Words From Our Patients

"Kind, empowering, knowledgeable and effective. All the traits you'd want your OB to have. I couldn't fault Hannah, she's amazing at what she does."

Jessica C

"I had a wonderful experience with Hannah and would highly recommend her. One of her standout strengths is how up to date she is with current research and medical evidence. Throughout my care, it was clear that Hannah's advice was thoughtful, informed, and genuinely focused on achieving the best possible outcomes. I felt confident and well supported, knowing decisions were based on the latest knowledge rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. Hannah is professional, thorough, and clearly cares deeply about the quality of care she provides."

Katie S

"We can't thank Hannah and the team enough for making our experience so special. We loved Hannah from the moment we met her and knew she was going to be the right fit for us. Hannah is incredibly supportive, knowledgeable, calm and open minded. She constantly went above and beyond for us, is so giving of her time and is someone we could trust every step of the way. We will never forget the level of care and comfort Hannah provided and will be forever grateful for her. The most heartfelt thank you for taking such extraordinary care of us and bringing our beautiful baby boy into the world safely."

Sophie T

"My husband and I couldn't have been any happier or comfortable with the genuine care, professionalism and warm nature we received from Hannah. From the very early days of our pregnancy right through to the delivery and following days in hospital. It's a very overwhelming feeling walking in to your first appointment for your first pregnancy, but the process was so seamless right from the initial referral until the follow up appointment postpartum. Any questions we had were answered with honest medical advice, nothing was ever too hard and everything always explained in detail. Our appointments felt like catch ups with a friend - very comfortable, relatable and light-hearted. A truly knowledgeable professional with sincere dedication. I have and will continue to recommend Hannah to anyone wanting a private Obstetrician. We continue to speak so highly of Hannah and her team and we will definitely be back for future pregnancies."

Kate P

"Hannah is such a beautiful, calm and knowledgeable OB. I'm so grateful to have had her to support us through our pregnancy and birth. I was so hesitant to have a c-section but when it was the safest option Hannah and the team created an incredible experience and made sure I was super comfortable which I am so thankful for. Highly recommend after a wonderful recovery and experience. Thank you and your team for being so amazing."

Tash M

"Dr Hannah is one amazing OB! From the start of my journey and finding out that I was having twins, Hannah was understanding, relatable, real and honest. She settled all my nerves through her guidance and expertise. Hannah did everything possible to make a very uncomfortable pregnancy as comfortable as possible and never rushed our appointments. I am so grateful for Hannah's care and compassion throughout my pregnancy and so glad I chose her as my OB. I would highly recommend her to friends and family and will forever be grateful for her part in the safe arrival of our girls."

Julia J

"I made the best decision ever choosing Hannah as my OB - as I have medical anxiety it was super important for me to find someone I felt comfortable with and that was Hannah 100%. She is just so good at what she does and the amount of knowledge and confidence she has in her job was so apparent to me from our first appointment. My pregnancy wasn't always smooth sailing but I always felt looked after, cared for and reassured that I was in the best hands. It's a no brainer that we will be coming straight back if we have another! Thank you Hannah and the incredible midwives for taking such great care of me and my perfect baby!"

Natasha E

"I had a very traumatic birth with my first and was very anxious leading into my planned c-section delivery. Hannah was the calm that I needed. She's knowledgeable, straight to the point, listens to and reassures you of your concerns and lets you have a genuine say in your own care. On the delivery day, she and her team were a well oiled machine and things couldn't have gone any smoother. Couldn't recommend her enough. Plus the c-section scar is immaculate."
