Dr Shum was fantastic with my dad. He explained the memory assessment in clear terms and listened patiently to our concerns. The annual wellness check gave us real peace of mind, knowing we’re on top of his medications and nutrition plan. Highly recommend the Greenslopes clinic.
We were really impressed by Dr Shum's thorough approach to fall risk assessments. He laid out simple home safety tips and adjusted my grandmother’s meds to avoid drowsiness. It’s reassuring to have a geriatrician who speaks with empathy and clarity in English and Cantonese when needed.
As a caregiver, I appreciated the practical nutritional guidance Dr Shum provided. The memory check felt comprehensive but not overwhelming, and the team helped us plan a straightforward medication schedule. Greenslopes is easy to get to from Brisbane.
Dr Shum took the time to review all my father’s medications and adjusted a few that were interacting poorly. The follow-up was prompt, and the memory assessment gave us a clear path forward. Very grateful for the thoughtful care in Greenslopes.
Excellent experience from start to finish. The annual wellness check was thorough, and I left with a clear plan for nutrition and activity. I felt heard, and the staff were friendly. Highly recommend for ageing parents living in Brisbane.
Dr Shum explained everything in simple terms and offered practical steps for reducing fall risk at home. The memory assessment was gentle and respectful. Glad to have a trusted geriatrician in Greenslopes.
We were relieved to find Dr Shum for my mother’s care. His bilingual options helped us navigate some insurance questions, and the nutrition advice was easy to follow. The clinic on Newdegate Street is convenient for us in Brisbane.
