Dr. I-Ferne Tan - Fertility Specialist in Sydney

Sydney fertility specialist and gynaecologist,
Dr I-Ferne Tan MBBS MRMed FRANZCOG

Research-backed fertility medicine and gynaecology tailored to you.

IVF

One of the most commonly known infertility treatments, IVF involves fertilising eggs with sperm outside the body and then transferring the embryos into the uterus.
Egg Freezing

This revolutionary procedure allows women to preserve their eggs for future use, giving them the freedom to pursue their careers, relationships, or personal goals without the worry of declining fertility.
General Gynaecology

From endometriosis to ovarian cysts and hysterectomy, I perform both surgical and non-surgical treatments in women's health.
Reproductive surgeries

I'm a skilled reproductive surgeon who specialises in minimally invasive (laparoscopic) surgery for the best outcome.
Fertility Management

My practice takes a holistic approach to fertility, working closely with your circumstances, values, and goals to help make your family happen.

Hello, I’m Dr I-Ferne Tan

As a gynaecologist and fertility specialist (and importantly, a mother), I understand the emotional and physical complexities that can arise when your body isn’t doing what you hoped it would.

With a Master in Reproductive Medicine and fellowships in advanced laparoscopic and hysteroscopic surgery (aka keyhole surgery), my approach blends clinical and surgical expertise with the art of listening, helping you take control of your reproductive health at every stage of life.

Every woman’s journey is different. Whether you're navigating painful periods, unexplained bleeding, or fertility challenges, I’m here to support you with expertise, clarity, compassion, and individualised care tailored to your needs.

More about me

A Safe Space for Your Fertility Concerns

Empowering you to take charge of your reproductive health

I know first-hand how overwhelming it can feel to navigate fertility challenges — especially when it seems like you're facing them alone. That experience has given me a unique understanding of both the emotional and clinical sides of care. It also inspired me to become a gynaecologist, passionate about educating women on their reproductive health and fertility options.

At my practice, I offer both non-surgical and surgical treatment options, with a particular focus on advanced laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery. These techniques are designed to reduce recovery time and help you return to daily life sooner.

Whether you're seeking gynaecological care or fertility support, my goal is simple: to provide a safe, supportive environment where you feel heard, informed, and empowered. Together, we’ll build a treatment plan that reflects your needs, aligns with your values, and supports your goals. And I’ll be here with you every step of the way.

Gynaecology Services

Women’s health has too often been overlooked and under-prioritised. I also understand that it can feel overwhelming to seek help, but please don’t ignore your symptoms - early diagnosis and care can make a real difference. I specialise in abnormal bleeding, period pain, and ovarian or uterine masses, and offer expert management of endometriosis, adenomyosis, fibroids, polyps, vaginal prolapse and ovarian cysts. My approach focuses on developing personalised, long-term treatment plans. I'm trained in advanced laparoscopy (keyhole surgery), and provide a range of in-office and surgical options. I prioritise clear communication, education, and respect, so you feel supported and confident in every decision that you make.

Reproductive surgery

I use minimally invasive techniques, including laparoscopy and hysteroscopy, to diagnose and treat a range of fertility-related issues — such as endometriosis, fibroids, ovarian cysts, polyps, scar tissue, and reversal of sterilisation procedures like tubal ligation or vasectomy. I also offer awake (office) hysteroscopy in the comfort of my private rooms, using advanced techniques and specialised equipment that eliminates the need for general anaesthesia.

With specialist training in advanced keyhole surgery, I focus on achieving precise results while protecting your fertility wherever possible. As a dual-trained reproductive surgeon and fertility specialist, I’m able to manage both the surgical and hormonal aspects of your fertility treatment. This means fewer appointments, a smoother experience, and treatment plans tailored to your individual needs.

I’ll always take the time to answer your questions and talk you through your options, so you feel supported and confident in your decisions.
