Dr. Alex Polyakov would have to be one of Melbourne’s Best OB/GYN. Dr. Polyakov is very professional and informative throughout the whole process. I knew i was in the safest hands throughout my whole pregnancy and birthing journey. I would highly recommend Dr.Alex Polyakov. A Big Thank You to Dr. Alex Polyakov and team in providing exceptional care and support throughout my first pregnancy and the delivery of my baby.
Dr Alex was easy to talk to explained everything was so wonderful during the whole process, we did t know what to expect or how long it would take to add another pair of feet to our family we are so blessed that we were successful after two rounds, his staff are amazing facilities are amazing. We now have a 4month DS and we are so excited and grateful we’ve recommended him to other struggling couple who face the same challenges as us with the hope that they’ll have the same success! Thanks you team our family has grown by one and we’re looking at doing it again in 2025!
Dr Polyakov was my Obstetrician during the pregnancy and birth of both of my girls. I was extremely happy with his service and professionalism. He was knowledgeable and attentive to any concerns I had during my pregnancies. His midwife and reception staff were also lovely as well as the staff at the Epworth Hospital. I could not be happier with the experience and could not recommend him and his team more.
Dr Polyakov was instrumental from conception through to delivery and always ensured the best care was always provided. Dr Polyakov’s calmness and professionalism made me feel at ease throughout my pregnancy journey through to delivery and I am grateful for my healthy baby boy. Even with the event of my emergency cesarean, I was always looked after and felt assured through the process. My recovery from the cesarean was quick and scarring was kept minimal. I highly recommend Dr Polyakov and his amazing team: Debra, Naomi and Janette.
A/Prof Alex is my obstetrician and fertility specialist. I highly recommend him!
He’s performed 3 surgeries for me over 3 years, two caesareans and a myomectomy. And provided exceptional antenatal care.
My experience is Alex is always on time (yes, always), respectful, is highly skilled, and has a great sense of humour. We were delighted to be in his care for our two babies. Alex’s team is lovely too! Our experience couldn’t have been better!
We had quite a complicated pregnancy from week 22, and our baby was born premature at week 32. We're very thankful to have had Dr Alex there to help us all the way through. Thanks to his expertise we now have a healthy baby boy. Thank you again Dr Alex
Couldn’t be more grateful to Dr Alex and his team. From the moment we visited him due to issues conceiving, to a stage 3 endometriosis diagnosis and laparoscopic surgery, eventually to ivf and successfully conceiving our little boy and delivering him via planned c section, Alex has been there for our whole fertility journey and showed nothing but expertise and compassion the entire duration. I can’t speak more highly of his staff Naomi and Deb behind the reception desk who were incredibly supportive and compassionate, and midwife Janette who was more than happy to answer all of my questions throughout my pregnancy no matter how small they might have seemed giving me peace of mind. Thank you so much for everything, we will be back for baby number 2.
Dr Alex Polyakov is a excellent doctor I am now pregnant with my second baby thanks to Dr Alex Polyakov Thank God for IVF I now have a family with my husband and daughter (18months old IVF Dr Alex Polyakov) and I am 9 weeks pregnant thanks to Dr Alex Polyakov the IVF treatment really works with the right doctor
Prof Alex and his team Naomi, Debra and Janette were amazing from the first visit up until my last visit after welcoming our daughter. Truly an amazing experience as a first time mum thanks to Alex and his team. I felt very supported from him and his team throughout my pregnancy journey which prepared me well for birth. My recovery from a c-section has been amazing, I was up and about that same night I gave birth. I highly recommend Alex and his team for exceptional obstetrics care.
Couldn’t be more grateful to Dr Alex. I did my research and found Dr Alex to be the most esteemed in Melbourne. He helped us relentlessly through a number of fertility complications to enable us to welcome two daughters into the world. His team are amazing too. If you are looking for the best - he’s your Dr. Highly recommend!
Alex and his team were AMAZING !!! My pregnancy took an unexpected turn at 21week when we went to do the ultrasound , my celvix started to open up so Alex put the stiches in on the same day , I felt so safe in this scary situation and I felt that Im in the best hands , after that I had to be on bed rest , 10 weeks later my baby decided to come earlier , my contractions started after the stiches were removed ( because my water broke and they had to take them out ) , Alex came back to do the cesarean , and again it wasn’t planned but it felt like no matter what, they are there and will do everything for us ! I can’t recommend enough and Im so grateful that I found Alex ! I also really like that he is really straightforward, and he really knows what he is doing ! Hopefully he will help with our 3 child too🤭🥰🤭
I want to extend a heartfelt thank you to Alex and his team for their unwavering support throughout our journey to becoming first-time parents. My wife and I faced challenges in trying to conceive, and after reaching out to Alex, we found not only an expert but also a compassionate guide. Alex was incredibly informative, kind, and supportive every step of the way. Thanks to his expertise, my wife and I were able to conceive, and we had a safe and healthy pregnancy. Bringing life into this world is an indescribable experience, and having someone like Alex by our side, especially during moments when it felt like it might never happen, is something we will forever be grateful for. Alex and his team are truly gifted, and I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone on this journey. Thank you, Alex, for making our dream come true.
I have a healthy and happy 7 week old baby thanks to Alex and his wonderful team. I had some complex medical conditions that Alex handled fabulously and I felt supported throughout my whole pregnancy. I had a wonderful experience and highly recommend. Alex. Also, thank you, Naomi and Deb, Alex's wonderful reception staff for always being so lovely and accommodating.
Thank you Dr Alex and his amazing team (Naomi, Debra and midwife Janette) for being so professional, friendly, attentive and always answer all my queries. This was my first pregnancy and I am so glad that I had Dr Alex as my OB! My whole pregnancy journey was so smooth and I felt so at ease because I know I am in good hand.
Dr. Alex has once again provided exceptional care during our second pregnancy and the delivery of our beautiful baby girl. We are extremely fortunate to have him as our physician. His direct and humorous approach, combined with his kindness and outstanding bedside manner, made our high-risk pregnancy journey manageable. Words can not express our gratitude to Dr. Alex and his team, Debra and Naomi, for their unwavering support and care. Their expertise has blessed us with a beautiful family, and we are truly grateful. 🙏 It is a very stylish practice. I appreciate the complimentary treats, drinks, and self-service section. Our toddler also enjoys visiting Leo, the service dog. He is adorable and playful. Everyone leaves with a smile.
A/Prof Polyakov is an exceptional surgeon! He is simply the best! From the moment I walked into the clinic, greeted by his friendly receptionist, I felt at ease. His expertise and professionalism were evident during our consultations. The surgery went smoothly, and I am thrilled with the results. The entire staff were supportive and caring, making the experience as comfortable as possible. I highly recommend A/Prof Polyakov to anyone in need of surgical / gynaecological care!
My husband and I are forever grateful to Alex who was our ivf doctor as well as my obstetrician through both my pregnancies. Having gone through infertility and previously being unsuccessful in our ivf journey with another doctor, we were both quite anxious to continue the ivf process after deciding to change doctors, however we felt at ease with Alex straight away. Alex changed the treatment plan from our previous doctor and we ended up with several good quality embryos and both embryo implantations were successful on the first go. Alex is calm, down to earth and it’s clear he is incredibly skilled and competent, we felt reassured and listened to throughout both pregnancies. My recovery from both c-sections were easy and my scar healed so beautifully thanks to Alex’ surgical skills. We can’t recommend Alex highly enough and we are so thankful that we decided to change doctor a few years ago and couldn’t be happier with our beautiful family. We’d also like to send a big thank you to Debra and Naomi who are so lovely, efficient and professional and who always made us feel supported and cared for. Thank you Alex, Debra and Naomi.
Before when we came to Alex, we already had 4 cycles with another IVF clinic without success. The thing was, with that clinic, I’ve gone through all kinds of tests and different combinations of medications, and the doctor was not able to identify the cause, instead she just pushed us trying another cycle. After the 4th time, I was almost convinced that I was not able to have kids and was ready to live my life without a kid. I knew how much my husband wanted a kid and a family, I even asked him to go find someone else so he can live a normal life. After a long chat, we decided to give it one last go, and that’s when we found Alex. Straight away he pointed out where my issue was. And after some futher exams and procedures, and trying the 5th time, now I have a baby crying in my arm. When we reflect on the whole experience, I feel like there must be so many couples out there who are struggling. And that’s why I wanted to share my personal story and let people know that do not fall for the celebrity doctors’ fame – whether they call themselves fertility queen or king (I did for the first 4 cycles unfortunately), and those IVF queen/king that spend a lot of money in marketing and advertising for themselves, because there are so many good doctors out there, who are spending their time doing the real work helping couples like us achieve their dreams. Thanks Alex, Naomi, Debra so much for making our dream come true. And all the best to little Leo 😊
I recently underwent a hysterectomy procedure with Dr Alex Polyakov in July 2024. The thought of getting the surgery done was daunting, but thanks to Dr. Alex, who took the time to listen, understand, and acknowledge my concerns. The way he explained the entire process reassured me that I'm going to have a pain-free and quality life after the surgery. His entire team, Naomi and Debra, are worth mentioning. They were prompt and helpful during each of my visits and phone conversations. My recovery after the surgery was great with minimal pain in the incisions, and I was able to get back to work within 6 weeks. There was some unexpected scenario that came up during the surgery and Dr. Alex was prompt enough to act on it and make certain decisions.Although it was beyond his jurisdiction he guided me accordingly for the required actions to be taken going forward.There are no second thoughts when I say, he is "The Best" in his profession. I can't thank Dr. Alex and his team enough for taking utmost care of me through this life changing experience.
Dr. Polyakov was my obstetrician for the delivery of my baby boy, and I can highly recommend him. His calm demeanor and approachable manner made us feel at ease from the beginning, and his dry sense of humour always lightened the mood. His clear communication reassured us every step of the way, and his skill and expertise meant I had a speedy recovery. We’re very grateful for his care.
I cannot express enough how grateful I am to have had Dr. Alex Polyakov as my obstetrician throughout my pregnancy and his team Debra and Naomi. From the very first visit, Dr. Alex made me feel completely at ease with his warm and compassionate demeanor. He took the time to answer all of my questions and always ensured I felt informed and empowered in every decision about my care.
Dr. Alex's expertise and dedication were evident at every appointment. Whether it was a routine check-up or a moment when I needed extra reassurance, he was always patient, attentive, and genuinely caring. I felt confident and supported every step of the way, knowing I was in the best hands possible.
As my pregnancy progressed, Dr. Alex provided exceptional care and attention, tailoring his approach to meet my specific needs. He went above and beyond to ensure both my baby and I were healthy and well-prepared for the big day.
When it came time to deliver, Dr. Alex was there with the same calm, supportive presence, guiding me through the experience with incredible skill and compassion. I couldn't have asked for a better obstetrician bringing my baby into the world.
I highly recommend Dr. Alex to anyone seeking an obstetrician who is not only highly knowledgeable but also deeply committed to their patients' well-being. Dr. Alex made my pregnancy journey a truly positive and memorable experience, and I am forever grateful for his outstanding care.
Dr Alex took care of me and my miracle baby. I had been in the public system where my reports were read wrongly and i was asked to be ready to make a decision regarding termination! I have seen Dr Alex since 2019 and had decided to get his opinion after being told to think of termination at 2 seperate hospitals. Dr Alex saw me immediately and after a few tests was able to help me throughout my pregnancy. He was able to put me at ease and I was able to trust that he will look after me and my baby. We have now been blessed with an amazing healthy baby boy!!! I had a c section and my scar is almost invisible at 3 months! Dr Alex and the ladies and reception are an amazing team!
Dr Polyakov is extremely knowledgeable and a skilful surgeon. I would highly recommend him to anyone who’s needing to see a fertility specialist. Very grateful to have come across Dr Alex and cannot thank him enough for all his help. Debra and Naomi from the admin/reception team have been great to deal with as well!
We are incredibly grateful to Dr. Alex and his amazing team (Debra and Naomi) for the outstanding care they provided us during the whole process. From the moment we walked into the clinic, we felt welcomed and supported. Dr. Alex is not only a highly skilled professional but also someone who genuinely cares about the well-being of his patients. He took the time to listen to our concerns, answer all our questions, and explain everything in a way that was easy to understand.
The team, both Debra and Naomi, were equally impressive, always going above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable and informed every step of the way. They were compassionate, attentive, and incredibly efficient, making what could have been a stressful experience so much easier for us as future parents.
Thanks to their exceptional care and dedication, they have given us the most precious gift of all—a healthy and happy baby boy. We cannot thank Dr. Alex and his team enough and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for top-notch obstetrician care.
I had a fibroid removal surgery with doctor and it was a success I highly recommend Dr Alex as he is very thorough in this area and patients are in excellent hands. Further at the doctors office Ms Naomi is a delightful person to dealt with and she is absolutely kind and very thoughtful!!
My GP recommended Dr Polyakov as a result of his reputation, and we experienced amazing and competent care from his whole team during our IVF journey. Many thanks to the nursing team, Naomi and Debra who are front of house, and kudos to their adoption of the Genea app, which made appointments, reminders, medication and instructions so accessible and user friendly. Dr Polyakov is excellent and direct and we appreciated his communication style, which is succinct and warm.
Alex and his whole team have been marvellous to us during our conception and pregnancy journey.
Alex was the right amount of relaxed but informative for me and my pregnancy. He answered questions when asked, guided when required and didn't induce any stress. He was very respectful of my birthing choices and never pushed a preference for either option. At the end, my baby was delivered as an elective c-section and it was the most wonderful and pleasant experience, made so by Alex and the support team he works with.
Janette was fantastic as a secondary point of contact. She was always very responsive and calming when I had the most stupid questions. It was great to have a midwife on Alex's service for those times you didn't want to bother the doctor.
Naomi and Deb were always warm, to welcoming and obliging whenever I attended appointments or needed help with the admin side of things.
Overall, a wonderful team that provided a great experience from conception to birth and beyond. If we ever decided to have another baby, I would not hesitate to try to get on Alex's service again.
Dr Alex Polyakov delivered our first baby via c-section and I could not recommend him enough. He made the entire process from the beginning of my pregnancy to the end such a smooth and calm one. My recovery was fantastic and I was up and walking the next day. He has an immense amount of knowledge and always made us feel reassured and safe.
Dr Alex Polyakov and his team were all great and we felt extremely well cared for. We will definitely be coming back to see them again 😊
We are fortunate to find Dr.Alex Polyakov to go through the IVF process post struggling to have our first kid for 4 years. Alex guided and supported us through the process with his calm and composed attitude that helped us to get off our nerves through the journey. We now have a perfect family with two kids with Alex as our our gynaecologist. Recommend him for those who are looking for a gynaecologist
Dr Polyakov’s medical knowledge knows no bounds. Dr Polyakov was our obstetrician for our first baby. Getting pregnant for the first time can be a daunting process for both the mother and father, however each time we saw Dr Polyakov for our regular check ups, he was always very calm, always re-assured us everything was going well and made us feel like we were his only patients. He was available for phone calls, even for the most simple of queries/concerns, and never made my wife and I feel like we were asking too much. I cannot recommend Dr Polyakov more. Thank you Dr Polyakov
Dr Polyakov is undoubtedly the best doctor out there. He delivered my first baby via c-section and I could not recommend him more. Him and his team provided ongoing support and care throughout my entire pregnancy. My C-section was incredibly smooth and I had a very easy recovery no doubt because of Dr Polyakov’s care. Dr Polyakov is compassionate and caring and provides a high level of professionalism and an immense amount of knowledge. We are very grateful to have been under Dr Polyakov’s care.
We had A/Prof Alex Polyakov as our IVF fertility specialist and also obstetrician with a Caesarian delivery at Epworth Freemasons.
I cannot speak highly enough about our experience. All process from day one was smooth and reassuring, making us confident, hopeful and truly cared for. We had regular check-ups and combined medical decisions from the IVF steps to the method of delivery.
His office staff (two amazing secretaries!) were also always efficient and available to answer questions, address concerns and provide support!
He is a phenomenal specialist and I would recommend him to anyone that is looking for a doctor who combines expertise with a genuine care for their patients!
In February, I discovered a large lump on my belly when I lay flat. It was as big as an apple and as hard as a rock, which shocked me. I booked an appointment with my GP immediately, who then referred me to Dr. Alex. I was quite worried about my English since it's my second language and I never see specialists in Australia at that time.
Upon meeting Dr. Alex for the first time, I found him to be a bit rigorous, but he demonstrated a high level of professionalism. (He is actually a very kind doctor. He likes people to come with prepared questions, He gives short answers, but all on points.) He administered an injection called Zoladex and informed me that I might need open surgery to remove the large fibroid and several smaller ones if they didn’t shrink after the injection.
After two sessions of Zoladex, I could feel that the fibroids had shrunk by at least 50%. Ultimately, I had keyhole surgery (laparoscopy). Dr. Alex successfully removed all the fibroids on May 7th. Remarkably, just four days after the surgery, I was able to walk nearly 3 kilometers in the botanical garden. My recovery has been amazing—I was able to return to work full-time by the second week with no issues at all.
Dr. Alex did an incredible job, and the incisions are so small they can be easily covered by underwear. I am extremely grateful and happy with the results.
Additionally, I want to give a big shoutout to the practice manager, Debra. She is incredibly patient and lovely, always easy to talk to, and she answered all my questions. Debra also provided clear explanations about the fee breakdowns and insurance. I feel very fortunate to have met such amazing people.
I felt 100% safe, secure, and happy throughout my experience. Thanks again, Dr. Alex and Debra!
My wife and I have seen suffered from infertility for years(due to genetic analysis). Dr Polyakov has found the cause for us in late 2022, we began the IVF process as he recommended. Dr Polyakov and his team are amazing, they are very professional and thoughtful. Our success is the result of their hard works(and God's Blessing). We will be grateful for the rest of our lives. Highly recommended.
I have seen many doctors,Dr Alex was the one I trusted from the first appointment. Knowledgeable, kind , calm respectful .He is a great surgeon. I never had to wait longer than my appointment time . Ladies at the reception so calm and nice , always happy to help. I wish I found him and his team earlier
We become patients of Dr Alex Polyakov after encountering fertility issues. After completing the laparoscopy, the first round of IVF with Dr Polyakov, we were thrilled to learn the pregnancy news. We continued the obstetric services with Dr Alex Polyakov; the boy was delivered two weeks ago. The planned c-section was done with the utmost skills.
We are grateful for the journey. The whole team, including Naomi Debra, were terrific. Our midwife, Jannette, has been so helpful along the way.
I had been with another IVF clinic before joining Dr Polyakov and Melbourne IVF. I moved as I felt I had no personal service and was just a number. I never seen the same nurse or doctor in all my cycles. We then decided to change and my GP recommended Alex. I have to say my experience was literally night and day! When I met Alex he told me he would do all my scans, collections and transfers and he did! The whole process was 1000 times less stressful. Which I firmly believe has led to our success! Alex is personable, he is efficient, he works on his days off, he responds to out of hours messages. Quite simply he is amazing. I trust his advice and he truly wants the best for his patients. Never sent me on a wild goose chase or some ridiculously expensive drug that just wouldn't work. I would highly recommend Alex whichever clinic he is with. Debra in his support team is equally amazing. She again responds out of hours when results are in. Emails for booking appointments which saves lengthy phone time whilst working and again is super caring. Do yourself a favour and switch to this team. The fact you get to see Alex 4 or 5 times through your cycle makes all the difference rather than fighting to speak to your specialist over a million phone calls whilst juggling your job. Thank you so much guys!
Dr Alex and his team have been wonderful in helping me with my Fibroids removal surgery. I recently had multiple fibroids removed via Laparoscopy and Dr Alex did a wonderful job performing my surgery which was a success. I highly recommend him to women who have fibroids and want to preserve their uterus. Thank you Dr Alex, I will definitely come back to you when I plan on having a baby. :)
Thank you to both Naomi and Debra for always being amazing at reception. I have enjoyed having chats with both them every time i came for an appointment. :)
When I first met Dr Polyakov, he looked a bit serious... : But indeed he is a kind, friendly, and cute doctor :)
I am grateful that I chose Dr. Polyakov for my hysterectomy with a keyhole procedure. I consulted with several doctors and most of them informed me that due to my condition, keyhole surgery might not be possible for me.
Dr Polyakov is a highly experienced and knowledgeable medical professional. He is also straight to the point to inform if something can or can't be done or if there are different options.
I feel fortunate to have received proper treatment and care from Dr. Polyakov and the team at Epworth Freemasons. Additionally, I am impressed with his surgical skills, as my scars are barely visible. It's worth mentioning that Alex is always punctual. All my appointments were on time, which was greatly appreciated. I also like to mention Debra and Naomi at reception who were always so welcoming. Alex is a highly respected doctor, and I am grateful to have had him as my doctor.
Was very happy to have Dr. Alex Polyakov as my doctor throughout my pregnancy. The whole team at Dr Polaycov Rooms were incredible including Naomi, Debra (was always welcomed with a smile and genuineness a big mention to Midwife Jannette who worked alongside Alex. There wasn’t a time where I would reach out with my endless questions or queries and wasn’t received with the highest professionalism and effort in helping answer and resolve.
Dr.Alex and the whole team made my pregnancy very enjoyable prior, during and after birth.
Epworth Freemasons Team was so easy to deal with and the whole process was done with such ease and no effort felt.
Dr Alex was fantastic throughout my IVF treatment, which also involved genetic testing. He provided all of the need to know information at each appointment and explained everything on the screen during scans. He is very clearly confident and knowledgeable in his field which then translates to you as the patient. Thanks to Alex I am now pregnant and wouldn’t hesitate to turn to him again if we choose to have another baby in the future.
I also wanted to mention Debra and Naomi at reception who were always so welcoming and accommodating with appointment requests/changes.
Dr Polyakov has been an outstanding practitioner and expert in our fertility journey. His attention to detail and unparalleled knowledge has given us the best gift of all. Dr Polyakov is always accessible for questions and support. He personally performs all the major procedures from start to finish throughout the fertility, pregnancy and delivery process, which is a rare set of skills in this field. We thoroughly recommend Alex to anyone looking for fertility, gynaecology and obstetrics support.
Dr Alex Polyakov is amazing! A rare combination of impressive medical knowledge and professionalism with caring type of personality. The doctor you can trust. It took me many years to find a real specialist like Dr Alex
Alex and his team are absolutely amazing, what a team not only are they very friendly and professional but there experience and skills is out of this world.
My wife had a lot of issues and within a couple of appointments and a surgery she was completely free of any problems and 6 weeks later she became pregnant. We are very grateful for there help absolutely amazing.
