Dr. David Knight

For more than two decades, Dr Knight has practiced in the area of reproductive medicine. His knowledge and experience in fertility treatments and reproductive medicine is widely sought after, placing him at the forefront of his industry. He has been integral in the development and implementation of processes to maximise patient outcomes whilst minimising all types of costs, including financial, time and emotional costs.

Dr Knight has a core focus on the patient. Demeter Fertility, the “patient first” IVF clinic is where his passion for superior care meets his extensive knowledge, experience and innovative research. As a pioneer in his field, Dr Knight has made numerous ground-breaking achievements, including the first baby in Australia with luteal stimulation or multiCOS (controlled ovarian stimulation) cycles (where more than one egg collection is done in one month).

As a student, Dr Knight completed his medical training at the University of Western Australia, undertaking his internship and junior medical training at Royal Perth Hospital. He decided early on in his career that he wished to specialise in Obstetrics and Gynaecology and commenced his training at the King Edward Memorial Hospital for Women in Perth.

Part way through his training he considered becoming a cardiothoracic surgeon, was offered a position, but after further thought continued on his career path in OBGYN. He also trained at the Royal Women’s Hospital in Melbourne and completed his training at the St George Hospital in Sydney. At this time he undertook both subspecialty training in reproductive medicine as well as a research Doctorate at the University of NSW and based at the Royal Hospital for Women when it was located in Paddington. This work was based on plant hormones and the effects these hormones may have on children and women at different stages of their reproductive career.
