We have seen Dr Rajit Narayan in his rooms at Intuition Private for fetal scanning and he has been incredible. His thorough knowledge and understanding, and being able to pass this information to us during the scan, is so reassuring and comforting. He has a very calm and kind nature which has been great for us. We are so grateful for Dr Narayan and his expertise! Highly recommend.

I highly recommend Intuition Private for obstetric and women’s health care. Over the past few years, I’ve received exceptional care from Dr Shah, Dr Narayan, and Dr Skillbeck. Each of them has shown genuine compassion, professionalism, and expertise that made me feel truly supported every step of the way. The entire team—including the wonderful admin staff—are always kind, considerate, and incredibly professional. I’m so grateful to be in such capable and caring hands.

Thankyou to Dr Peta Skillbeck. She looked after both of my pregnancies in 2022 and 2024/2025.

Very caring and loving person. Her staff are excellent too. Everything explained clearly and no pressure with making decisions.

Great experience, highly recommended

Dr. Mutayyab Shah is an extraordinary obstetrician and gynaecologist, a truly remarkable professional who blends exceptional expertise with unmatched compassion. From the moment we met him, his calm and supportive demeanour put us at ease, and his kind, caring nature made us feel heard and understood. His expertise and intelligence are immediately apparent, creating a strong sense of trust and confidence right from the start.

With his impressive training at Oxford, dual fellowships with RCOG and RANZCOG, and unparalleled surgical skills, Dr. Shah inspires complete confidence in his patients. It is no wonder that he is not only a provider of choice for other medical professionals but also a trusted figure in the local medical community — he is well-loved and respected by colleagues and patients alike.

Dr. Shah has shared some of the best moments of our lives and guided us through some of the hardest with unwavering strength and support. He has been more than just a doctor to us; he has been a trusted friend and an extension of our family. His dedication, warmth, and professionalism have touched our lives in ways we can never forget.

We are forever grateful to have had Dr. Shah by our side and would have no hesitancy in recommending him to others - you will be in the very best of hands.

Dr Skilbeck, Ena & Aimee are amazing! Being our first baby, we were very nervous however the level of care we received was exceptional. Thank you for making our experience so perfect!

I had the most wonderful experience with Intuition Private and Dr Skilbeck. From my very first appointment with her, I always felt safe, supported in my choices and comfortable. I wanted to have an unmedicated birth with no intervention (which isn’t overly common in the private hospital) and Dr Skilbeck supported me to see my plan through, and was there . I had a really positive birth experience and am so pleased I got to welcome my baby boy into the world the way I wanted. Thanks to Dr Skilbeck and the amazing midwives at Intuition!

Choosing to birth privately with our own obstetrician was a very important part of our pregnancy journey. The personalised care meant that our baby boy was delivered safe and healthy.

Dr Shah provided a calming and reassuring presence at each visit and always ensured thoroughness throughout the whole pregnancy. He and the Intuition team were always available to us to answer any questions/concerns we had.

We look forward to using Dr Shah as our obstetrician for our future pregnancies.

I was under Dr Skilbeck’s care for the births of my two daughters, and I highly recommend her and the entire Intuition team.
Peta is knowledgeable, calm, and compassionate, and her midwives and receptionists are also very kind, efficient and helpful.
Nothing but praise for this dedicated team!

Can’t thank enough to the wonderful team at Intuition private and particularly the main Dr Shah who has played a very big role in my pregnancy journey not only in terms of support and care but also providing the empathy that every woman go through the hard pregnancy journey. Furthermore I feel blessed and fortunate that I am now mom of two beautiful boys and makes me realised that I had easy birthing obviously with the immense help from the best doctor and not to forget the best midwives who was there for me when I needed them the most.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤️..

The best in obstetric care! I first joined intuition back in 2022 after a negative experience in the public sector. I had my 2nd baby with Dr Shah and had an amazing experience. So much so that I went back to Dr. Shah and intuition private this year to have my third baby and hi was delivered safely and without worry thanks to Dr. Shah and the midwives. Him and the amazing team of midwives took the best care of me and advocated for my needs when I had some challenging moments in the third trimester. I wouldn’t trust anyone else and would 100% return to Dr. Shah and intuition private if I have another baby (regardless of where he is delivering out of due to the private hospital closure).

So greatful for Dr Peta's care during my 2 pregnancies. It was so reassuring to have support of the experienced and caring doctor and midwifes.

Rosa Vasile

I recently underwent surgery with Dr. Shah, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Dr. Shah’s expertise and genuine compassion immediately put me at ease, making a nerve-wracking process so much more manageable.

The level of care I received throughout the entire journey was truly outstanding. Dr. Shah took the time to thoroughly explain each step, answer all my questions, and make sure I felt comfortable at every stage. The surgery itself went smoothly, and the recovery process was much easier than I anticipated, thanks to the clear guidance and support provided.

I’m incredibly grateful for the skill, kindness, and professionalism of Dr. Shah and the team. If you’re looking for a gynecologist who truly cares and is committed to your well-being, I highly recommend Dr shah .

Catharine Mills

Well worth the money! Highly recommend doing these scans with Dr Narayan. We felt comfortable in his presence and appreciated how highly skilled he is in his field. You can’t put a price on this type of invaluable, quality, life-changing information. If you’re sitting on the fence about seeing Dr Narayan, don’t hesitate. Book in.

Had the most amazing experience with Dr.Peta Skilbeck. It was my first baby and she made me feel comfortable my entire pregnancy informing me on everything I needed to know. She advised and gave me confidence to ask questions even if they were silly.
Through labour she was very reassuring and put the health of the baby and me before anything. Advised if something needed changing and was very calm and reassuring when it came time to have a cesarean. Very kind and knowledgeable in all aspects and made me feel as though my voice was heard throughout the whole process.

I would like to thank her and the team that helped prepare and deliver our beautiful baby girl Hazel.

My wife & I cannot sing the praises of Dr Peta Skilbeck & her talented professional team enough. Dr Skilbeck managed the pregnancy for my wife & our daughter from the initial appointment, delivery & being discharged from the hospital. We had the pleasure of having the knowledgeable midwife Amy with us too.

My wife & I are both medical professionals so we are somewhat selective with who we decide for our medical management and care. We intend to have all future pregnancy’s handled by Dr Peta Skilbeck and her team at intuition private obstetrics & gynaecology.

Everyone who works here is absolutely incredible, kind and nurturing. They were incredible with assisting my wife during her pregnancy journey, they kept everything calm and happy! The Nurses and Dr’s are some of the best in the biz! We genuinely know what we would’ve done without them!

We will be recommending intuition to everyone we know!

And we will Definitely be back in the future!

The care I received at Intuition was beyond what I ever expected. From the moment I walked in, I felt so welcome and cared for. All the staff made me feel like a person, not a number. I was lucky enough to be under the care of Dr Peta Skilbeck. I was in the best hands during my pregnancy and my birth. She is such a beautiful human and just what I needed. I felt safe, respected and supported.

Isabella Rose

1726650712

I had such an amazing and nurturing experience with DR Peta Skillbeck and her team of midwives and staff at intuition private. I looked forward to each appointment to the complimentary sparkling waters, the warm staff interactions and of course seeing baby on the ultrasound screen.The environment of my c-section was truely nothing I experienced before (first baby born in Sydney) with warm and friendly staff who laughed and reassured me the whole way. I loved seeing the midwives on the maternity ward who were also with me during my appointments. This was extremely reassuring as they knew me and my preferences and history. Even through my diagnosis of MS 2 weeks postpartum Peta and her team made sure I was well looked after and given the right care. I look forward to “working” with them for baby number 3.

Amanda Kenny

1726647034

I recently had my son and I was under the care of Dr Shah. He was extremely calming and reassuring if I ever had a worry or concern. And he made my pregnancy journey and delivery an extremely positive experience. I would highly recommend everyone go to Intuition to receive care during pregnancy and delivery.

Shannon Casinto

Dr Shah is the best obstetrician! We felt well informed and supported in making our own decision with our birth plan. He always brings a calming energy. Highly recommend him to any mum or mum-to-be.

We chose Dr Peta Skilbeck and the Intuition team back in 2021 for our pregnancy and birth of our first son. He was our rainbow baby and I think having the extra appointments/ check ins kept my anxious mind at ease throughout the journey. I knew the team were just a phone call away if I was ever concerned or worried.
We loved the care we received both during the pregnancy but also through labour/ hospital and post natal that it was never even a question who we would choose for our second born in 2024. We delivered our second son in July this year - and we rave about how amazing Peta and her team are. We miss our regular appointments and highly recommend her to anyone who is considering going privately or needs a good gynaecologist.

Liesl Greenwood

1725444295

Outstanding clinic. Very warm, friendly and respectful reception and clinical staff, especially with sensitive moments for patients. Dr Shah was excellent for the delivery of both my babies. The follow up care was also excellent. Lots of finishing touches that make the patient experience extremely comfortable.

I also liked the upfront approach on what to expect during pregnancy both costs and procedures including scans and tests.
Experience was excellent for both me and my husband.

Jaimi Shelley

1722999141

I had such an amazing experience with Dr Skilbeck! Even though I had a high risk pregnancy I never felt uneasy about anything. Both Peta and the midwives always making sure I understood everything that was happening and answering all of my questions.

Brooke Stanford

I cannot speak highly enough of Dr Peta Skilbeck and her team at Intuition Private. Peta expertly guided me through my pregnancy, and her skill, compassion and good humour ensured my birth experience was as stress free as possible. Great experience all round and I would highly recommend her and her team.

Chelsea

1721885872

I couldn't speak more highly of Intuition Private and its team. I had Dr Peta Skilbeck as my Obstetrician for the duration of my pregnancy and delivery of my first baby 2 months ago. It was such a positive and supportive experience and the quailty of care received from Peta was incomparable. We have also loved and appreciated all the supportive midwives and the reception team we had throughout our journey! They made every phone call and appointment seemless and easy. We were also lucky enough to get the pleasure of having our lovely midwife Ena present for our birth as well. Both doctor Skilbeck and Ena made it such a special experience for my husband and I. If i have more children in the future and ever need an obstetrician or gynaecologist there is no other option for me but intuition.

If I could give Intuition Private 10 stars I would!! I have been under the care of both Dr Skillbeck and Dr Mandapati, along side midwife Lee-Anne. They are the dream team! There was never a moment that I didn’t feel safe with the team at intuition. From my first appointment to giving birth and even my 6 week check up, the level of care I received was exceptional. I already can’t wait to go back for baby number 3 🩵🩵

I came to Intuition for the birth of my two beautiful babies with Peta Skillbeck and I could not recommend Peta and the beautiful girls at Intuition Private.

I have recently had my second daughter through Intuition, under the care of Dr Shah and midwife Penny. Both experiences were wonderful; the team are incredibly knowledgeable and caring. I felt safe, informed and supported at every stage of my pregnancy, birth and now in postpartum. In times of anxiety or worry Dr Shah was calming and reassuring, nothing is ever a problem.

Dr Kelly was absolutely amazing an excision specialist that found and operated on endometrosis.
She Also put me under the care of an amazing pelvic pysio in wyong hospital and pain management clinic in randwick womens hospital.
Amazing bedside manner, listens, acts, believes and try's to find a solution.
So very thankful that she performed my operation and is teaching amazing registers like Dr David Krones both were an absolute godsend. I wish she was the first gynaecologist that I went to would have shaved years off my diagnosis

She listens to you as a patient and will do what she can to make sure you have the best experience possible in the unpredictable world of childbirth.

Dr Shah is the most remarkable obstetrician. I’m a mum who decided to go private after a terrible experience in a Sydney public hospital with my first. Dr Shah is a professional, the leader in his field. He ensured I felt as though I could place my complete trust in him (and I could). I knew what was happening every step of the way. Having a difficult pregnancy I frequented the private hospital on many occasions. I was admitted on the majority of my visits. It was never an issue, Dr Shah only cared for the safety of my baby and myself. He also ensured that my mental stability was on track too. I recommend Dr Shah in every capacity. Words cannot express the gratitude I feel for him. If anyone is looking for an obstetrician or gynaecologist you would be in the safest hands with Dr Shah and his team of professionals. He is professional, caring and also a really cool Doctor.

Jo Pollard

1616712925

I can not recommend Dr Peta Skilbeck enough!! This is my first pregnancy and must admit a bit nervous, but Dr Peta Skilbeck has totally taken the nerves away.. I feel that comfortable with her I can, and do ask every question possible (even if they are a bit random). I walk into the office and Ena (my midwife) and Dr Skilbeck make me feel like family and they always have plenty of time to answer all my questions.. I never feel rushed to get out of there.. if I'm lucky enough to have another baby I will definitely be going back to Dr Peta Skilbeck no questions asked.😊

We had the most amazing experience with Dr. Skilbeck. From our first appointment I knew we had made the best choice in choosing her as our obgyn for our second baby. Her bedside manner is warm, caring and professional and she made me feel supported in my decisions. On the day of my sons birth, Peta made my c-section truly magical. It felt as close to a natural birth as I could have hoped for and her expertise and professionalism was just what I needed. Thank you to Peta and the beautiful team at Intuition Private for our wonderful experience.
