Dr Moss, Specialist Gynaecologist, at Riverside Women’s Healthcare, will be retiring in December, with her last consultation day scheduled for December 12, 2024.

Unfortunately, we have not yet found a successor. She will cease performing major surgeries, such as hysterectomies at the end of October to ensure that all post-operative follow-ups are completed before her retirement. However, she will continue to conduct minor surgeries until her final operating list on 6th December, which allows time for follow-up on results.

During November she will stop seeing most new patients except for urgent issues and will focus solely on follow-up appointments until December.

An email will be sent to all existing patients of Dr Moss with more details closer to the date.
