I couldn’t be happier that I had Dr Hugh deliver my baby. Not only is he one of the nicest people I’ve met, he looked after me so well and made me feel so comfortable the whole way through my pregnancy and during the delivery. I’d be thrilled if I was able to have another baby in the future and have Hugh as my obstetrician again.

From pre-conception all the way to post-birth, we could not imagine having our care handled by anyone but Dr Hugh Porter and his A-grade team (Megan, Rene and Veronica). The perfect mix of compassion and professionalism, the entire process was seamless and exciting. Dr Hugh delivered our first baby via elective caesarean and we cannot wait to return in the future!

From my initial enquiry through to the 6 week postnatal appointment Dr Porter and his team made us feel so comfortable and like we had known them for years. Throughout the pregnancy, Dr Porter was so informative, relaxed and knowledgeable that despite this being my first pregnancy I never once had any concerns or worries as I knew I was in good hands. When my labour didn’t progress and I needed to have an unplanned C section, there was no concerns or angst as I knew Dr Porter had mine and my baby’s health and wellbeing as his priority. I can’t thank him enough for safely delivering my beautiful daughter and would highly recommend him.

If I could give 100 stars I would! I have never been to a doctor before where I have felt so cared for and heard until I met Dr. Porter and the team. From my first phone call with René I instantly knew this was the practice for us. Right through to the end I received nothing but exceptional care. Dr Porter was amazing throughout my whole pregnancy and delivery. His expertise, kindness, and reassurance made the entire experience smooth and stress-free. I can’t wait to have another baby just so I can see the whole team again. I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking an exceptional obstetrician! Thank you so much Dr Porter and team. You truely are the industry leaders.

Choosing an OB was one of the most important decisions of my pregnancy journey, and from the very beginning, I knew I wanted someone I could trust—someone with expertise, but also someone personable, approachable, and who felt more like a friend. I wanted an experience that I would not only cherish but be eager to rave about to friends and family. Well, I can honestly say that Dr. Hugh Porter and the team at Sydney Babies gave me exactly that and more!From the moment I discovered Sydney Babies on social media, I was impressed. The informative posts and heartwarming videos gave me a glimpse of Dr. Porter’s approach, and I instantly felt a connection. His warmth, care, and professionalism shone through, and I was convinced he was the right choice for us after our initial meeting.What truly sets Dr. Porter apart is his modern and caring approach. He goes above and beyond in ways that are rare in the field—like providing his personal mobile number to patients, ensuring he’s always accessible whenever you need him. The daily hospital visits when bub arrived were also a comfort.Even when I moved to the Southern Highlands mid-pregnancy, it was a no-brainer to continue seeing him. The care and support he provided made it easy to travel for my appointments, and I never once felt like I was missing out on anything.The integrated midwife support at Sydney Babies is another standout feature. I honestly didn’t realise how much we needed it, but it turned out to be one of the greatest benefits. My husband and I left each midwife appointment with Mathilde & Megan feeling empowered, educated, and completely reassured that we had a strong support system in place. My mother attended one of the midwife appointments with us and was extremely impressed.From the very first moment you step through the door, you’re greeted like family—because to Dr. Porter and his team, you truly are family. Renè and Veronica at the front desk are two of the loveliest people I’ve met, always so welcoming and kind; we could talk until the cows come home! It’s easy to feel at ease when you’re surrounded by such a warm and genuine team.Thanks to Sydney Babies, my entire pregnancy experience has been seamless, worry-free, and incredibly enjoyable. Not everyone raves about their OB, but my husband & I absolutely do!If you want an exceptional, personalised experience and a team that genuinely cares about you and your baby, you won’t regret choosing Sydney Babies. They truly made my pregnancy experience one to remember—and I can’t recommend them highly enough! It was the best decision we made in our pregnancy.

I can’t thank the Sydney Babies team enough for all the love and care they showed me throughout my pregnancy! Dr. Hugh Porter, Megan, Mathilde, Veronica, and René are just amazing people—so friendly, kind, and genuinely caring. Every appointment felt like catching up with friends who just happened to be looking after me and my baby. I always looked forward to my weekly visits, and I’m really going to miss seeing them all regularly! Thank you, Sydney Babies, for making this journey so special and being there for me every step of the way!

Dr. Hugh Porter is an exceptional obstetrician who made our pregnancy journey incredibly special. His personable and professional demeanor put us at ease from the very beginning. He was always patient, understanding, and took the time to answer all of our questions.Not only was Dr. Porter knowledgeable and skilled, but he also created a warm and welcoming environment for us. His team was equally wonderful, making us feel like part of the family. Having his office in the same building as the hospital was incredibly convenient, especially after the birth when he checked on us daily.Dr. Porter's dedication to his work is evident, and his passion for bringing babies into the world safely is inspiring. Recovery was smooth and midwives commented on how he always does a neat job. We are so grateful for his care and would highly recommend him to any expectant parents.
