Local vasectomy specialist GP: Dr Harold Judelman

Annie — Fri, 18 May 2012 12:21:18 +0000

Vasectomy is one of the safest and most effective methods of permanent birth control. Some 30,000 men in Australia choose vasectomy each year, and Dr Harold Judelman is now providing vasectomy services at two convenient locations in the eastern suburbs of Sydney.

Dr Judelman ran a vasectomy clinic and his own private general practice for many years during which time he performed 250-300 successful vasectomies per year, so he is highly skilled in the procedure and techniques of vasectomies.

A vasectomy can now be carried out under local anesthetic so that recovery rate is vey quick and there is a minimal disruption to normal work and private life. The procedure takes place in one of two conveniently located general practices:

Bondi Family Health Care, 260a Bondi Rd, Bondi, or
Edgecliff Health Care, Eastpoint Shopping Centre, 285 New South Head Rd, Edgecliff

You can read more about the vasectomy procedure here. Or find answers to some common questions regarding the procedure here.

For more information or to make a confidential appointment, please call either 02 9365 1333 (Bondi) or 02 9328 2900 (Edgecliff), or email Dr Judelman at vasectomysydney@gmail.com. No referral required.

Lego’s Festival of Play (all ages)

Sharne — Fri, 18 May 2012 02:28:52 +0000

Did you catch the amazing LEGO® forest that sprouted in Martin Place last month? LEGO’s Festival of Play continues this month: LEGO Australia has teamed up with ten creative personalities including Romance Was Born and Adriano Zumbo to build an exhibition of unique pieces of art, made entirely from the iconic colourful LEGO bricks. Creative Australians from a variety of industries were invited to take part by submitting their own distinct design inspired by play to be turned into a LEGO brick mosaic up to 1.1m tall. The artworks were constructed from almost 300,000 LEGO bricks, and can be seen for the first time on Tuesday May 29 on Macquarie Street, Sydney, where the LEGO Brickworks exhibition will then brighten up the winter streets night and day until June 4.

Sydneysiders and visitors will then get a second opportunity to see these world first creations when they take residence at the Powerhouse Museum from June 15 to July 30, before moving to regional locations.
