Region’s facility becomes flagship

EXPANSION for one Toowoomba fertility clinic will offer more accessibility to services across the region, reducing the need for travel.

City Fertility has transformed its IVF Toowoomba clinic into its flagship facility for regional Queensland.

The expansion will see two dedicated specialists, Dr Anthony Cerqui and Dr Lanziz Homar, now assisting patients in the region.

With a combined 40 years of experience in gynaecology, obstetrics and fertility, the pair is both highly respected in their field.

“It’s exciting to be a part of a global network that is driven to deliver would-be parents the highest quality care from conception to delivery and provide a full service facility on their doorstep,” Dr Cerqui said.

“We often see fertility patients seek out our services from Roma and Morven, Quilpie, and we do have some who fly from Townsville and Cairns for their gynaecology needs.”

Dalby couple Emma-Jane and Nathan Jameson said they were grateful for the assistance received from Dr Cerqui, with the couple now expecting a son in the next two months.

“It can be a very anxious time, but Dr Cerqui didn’t treat us like a number and was invested in the process as much as we were … we have been truly blessed,” Mrs Jameson said.

“It would be so much more convenient for couples to be able to lessen the stress of the process and minimise the costs associated with travel and time away from loved ones.”

City Fertility CEO Adnan Catakovic said the expansion meant patients would no longer have to travel to Brisbane for treatment options.

“Toowoomba is the fertility and reproductive health centre for rural patients from the Gulf to Goondiwindi,” he said.
