Just wanted to pass on a huge thanks to Dr Douglas. After a nasty ankle fracture, his clear plan for fracture care and the quick referral to physio helped me get back on my feet sooner than I expected. The team at Ballina Day Surgery Consulting Suites were supportive and friendly throughout the process.
I went in for a joint injection and left feeling optimistic again. Dr Douglas explained everything in plain terms and the care plan for arthritis management has given me real relief. Great to have someone who listens at Ballina.
From the cast to the splint, the hands-on treatment was thorough. I appreciated the practical advice and the follow-up options for ongoing therapy. The Ballina team makes what could be scary recoveries much easier.
Relieved to have found an orthopedic surgeon who prioritises clear communication. Dr Douglas outlined the injury and the steps for recovery, including a sensible arthritis management plan. Highly recommend for locals in Ballina.
As someone who hates waiting rooms, I was pleasantly surprised by how efficient and friendly the service at 46 Tamar Street is. Dr Douglas’s approach to fracture care was reassuring, and the physical therapy referral came through quickly.
I was nervous about needing injections, but Dr Douglas made the process smooth and explained the benefits for my knee. The recovery plan includes practical exercises and regular check-ins, which has made a real difference.
Winning combination of professional care and Down-to-earth advice. Dr Douglas helped me manage a long-term knee issue with a clear arthritis management strategy and solid casting/splint options when needed. Very impressed, Ballina locals.
