She earned her MBChB from the University of Pretoria in 2012, followed by FCOG (SA) accreditation in 2022 and an MMed in Obstetrics & Gynaecology from Stellenbosch University in 2023. Consequently, her academic progression reflects both depth and currency in her specialty.

Services

Drawing directly from her core competencies, Dr van Rooyen offers the following services, each designed to optimise women’s reproductive health and well-being:

• Comprehensive Obstetric Care
  She manages all stages of pregnancy, from early antenatal assessments through to labour and delivery. Consequently, expectant mothers receive personalised birth plans, nutritional guidance, and evidence-based monitoring to promote both maternal and fetal health.

• Antenatal & Postnatal Ultrasound
  Utilizing high-resolution ultrasound equipment, she performs detailed fetal anatomical surveys, growth scans, and Doppler studies. Moreover, postpartum scans support the evaluation of uterine involution and the detection of retained products, helping to prevent complications.

• Gynaecological Consultations
  She evaluates a wide range of gynaecological concerns—including menstrual irregularities, pelvic pain, and abnormal bleeding—through thorough history-taking, physical examination, and tailored imaging. Therefore, patients gain clarity on diagnoses and receive targeted treatment plans.

• Minimally Invasive Surgical Procedures
  In collaboration with her surgical team, she performs laparoscopy and hysteroscopy for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. For instance, she addresses endometriosis, fibroids, and intrauterine adhesions with precision instrumentation, minimizing recovery time and postoperative discomfort.

• Obstetric & Gynaecological Ultrasound
  Beyond antenatal imaging, she conducts pelvic ultrasonography to assess ovarian, uterine, and endometrial pathology. As a result, patients benefit from non-invasive visualization that guides both medical and surgical interventions.

• High-Risk Pregnancy Management
  She offers specialised protocols for pregnancies complicated by hypertension, diabetes, or fetal growth restriction. Consequently, these patients undergo more frequent monitoring, multidisciplinary consultations, and tailored delivery plans.

• Pre-conception Counselling
  Prospective parents receive risk assessments for genetic, medical, and lifestyle factors. Therefore, she provides evidence-based recommendations on folate supplementation, chronic-disease optimisation, and timing of conception.

Each service unfolds within private consultation suites and dedicated ultrasound rooms, ensuring patient comfort and confidentiality.
