Saw Dr Lontos at Austin Private in Heidelberg for a colonoscopy. He explained every step clearly, made me feel at ease, and the procedure went smoothly. Post-procedure care was thorough and I appreciated his suggestions for managing my IBS. Highly recommended if you’re in Melbourne’s north-east.
After years of acid reflux, I finally got some real relief after a plan from Dr Lontos. He listened to my symptoms, suggested a tailored treatment, and also gave practical nutritional tips. The appointment in Burgundy Street was easy to get to from Ivanhoe. Very impressed.
I had an endoscopy with Dr Lontos and felt listened to the whole time. He explained the findings in plain language and outlined a clear management plan for my reflux and IBS. The staff at Heidelberg were friendly, which made the whole experience less daunting.
As someone who prefers a practical approach, I appreciated Dr Lontos's focus on lifestyle and nutrition for digestive health. The nutritional counselling helped me adjust my meals and my IBS symptoms have improved noticeably. Thanks, mate.
Excellent care from start to finish. Dr Lontos took the time to answer all my questions about colonoscopy prep and what to expect afterwards. Felt well-supported by the team at Austin Private in Heidelberg.
I was nervous about the tests, but Dr Lontos made everything straightforward. He discussed my IBS management plan and gave realistic expectations. The clinic's location on Burgundy Street is convenient for me in Melbourne's north-east.
Grateful for the care Dr Lontos provided for my persistent reflux. He not only treated the symptoms but also offered dietary guidance that’s helped me feel normal again. Would recommend to friends around Heidelberg and beyond.
