I drove up from Belconnen to Deakin for a sleep apnea assessment with Dr Ssentamu. He explained the test clearly, listened to my sleep patterns, and gave practical steps to improve my nights. Felt hopeful after the visit and the team were friendly. Highly recommend for anyone dealing with tiredness at work.
After years of coughing on and off, I finally got a proper evaluation from Dr Ssentamu. He was patient, asked all the right questions, and explained the plan in plain English. My chronic cough is much better already and I’ve started a tailored asthma plan.
Relieved to find a respiratory specialis in Deakin who speaks in plain terms. Dr Ssentamu diagnosed my COPD management plan and adjusted my inhalers. The process was smooth, and I appreciated the smoking cessation support as part of the package.
The appointment at Equinox Business Park was easy to get to. Dr Ssentamu explained my sleep study options and took the time to answer my questions. I left with a clear understanding of next steps and felt supported.
I’m from Tuggeranong and recently saw Dr Ssentamu for suspected asthma. He ran all the right tests, explained the results, and gave me a simple action plan. Good to have someone who really listens.
Great experience with Dr Ssentamu. He spoke with me in English and Swahili, which helped my family feel included. The sleep apnea assessment was thorough and we smoothed out the treatment quickly.
From the moment I walked into Deakin, the staff were welcoming and Dr Ssentamu was terrific. He didn’t rush, explained how COPD management would work with my lifestyle, and gave me practical tips I can start today.
