Booked in with Dr Pennington after a nasty ankle sprain. He explained the injury clearly, organised a cast quickly, and I could feel the confidence in his plan. The follow-up physio referral helped me get back on my feet sooner than I expected. Thanks, East Melbourne clinic!
Having persistent knee pain, I was worried I’d need surgery. Dr Pennington suggested joint injections and a conservative plan first. The relief after the injection was noticeable, and he gave me simple exercises to do at home. The teal-coloured braces he recommended also helped during my rehab.
I fractured my wrist and needed casting. The team at Level 1, 124 Grey Street were fast and friendly. Dr Pennington explained what to expect and the cast fit well. I appreciated the clear timeline for physio referral afterwards. Highly recommend for anyone in Melbourne needing ortho care.
Relieved to find a straightforward plan for my ankle sprain. Dr Pennington discussed bracing options and suggested a light physio program. He was patient, answered all my questions, and the whole process felt organised from the check-in to the follow-up.
Professional and approachable. I came in with hip pain and left with a clear treatment path, including possible injections and a referral for physio if needed. The East Melbourne clinic has a calm atmosphere, which helped during a stressful time.
Dr Pennington took the time to listen to my concerns about arthritis in my knee and outlined a practical treatment plan. The casting for a recent minor fracture went smoothly, and the advice on maintaining mobility between visits was spot on.
From the initial consult to the casting and discussing brace options, the service was top-notch. I left feeling reassured and confident in the recovery steps. If you’re in Melbourne and need an orthopaedic surgeon, this is a solid choice.
