Danielle is a fully accredited Urologist having completed her medical training at the University of Sydney and the Northern Clinical School (Royal North Shore Hospital). She completed her formal Urology training in Victoria, after which she returned to Sydney to attain a Fellowship of Paediatric Urology at Sydney Children’s Hospital Randwick, where she has recently served as Head of Urology. Danielle has also spent time working in Shanghai, China in Paediatric Urology. She has since opened a private practice offering services to both adults and children.
In adults, she has an interest in endoscopic urology including renal calculi and bladder cancer. In children she has a special interest in congenital kidney and bladder pathology, renal calculi and voiding issues. Danielle provides antenatal consultations for congenital urological conditions and is often involved in complex pregnancies of both maternal and foetal origin. Danielle also has extensive experience in kidney and bladder stone surgery and is able to provide minimally invasive techniques such as flexible ureteroscopy and percutaneous nephrolithotomy. She is one of the few Urologists accredited to operate on children with kidney stones and is involved in NSW paediatric multi-disciplinary stone service at Sydney Children’s Hospital Network. As one of the few female Urological surgeons in Sydney, Danielle can provide empathetic care to those patients who are more comfortable with a female surgeon.
Danielle operates privately at North Shore Private Hospital and The Castlecrag Private Hospital. She is also a VMO at Sydney Children’s Hospital Randwick where both public and private paediatric patients can be admitted. Danielle consults out of her rooms in Cammeray and has recently opened The Yellow Spot Clinic which provides multi-disciplinary children’s continence care on Sydney’s lower north shore.
