Had a cardiovascular screening with Dr Skillington in Melbourne and felt really reassured by his clear explanations. The team at Collins Street made the whole process smooth, and I left with practical steps to monitor my blood pressure at home.
After my cholesterol test, I appreciated Dr Skillington taking the time to go through the numbers and what they mean for my heart health. The advice was practical, and I’ve started making small changes that I can actually stick to.
Relieved to find a doctor who explains things without the jargon. The heart health education session was top-notch, and I’ve got a better routine for blood pressure monitoring at home.
The service at Level 10 on Collins Street is fantastic. Dr Skillington listened to my concerns and helped plan a personalised cholesterol management strategy. Highly recommended for anyone in Melbourne.
I was nervous about my heart health, but Dr Skillington’s calm approach and thorough cardiovascular screening put me at ease. I left with a clear plan and a few lifestyle tweaks.
Great experience in Melbourne. The doctor explained my blood pressure monitoring options and the importance of ongoing heart health education. I feel more empowered to take control.
From the initial consult to the follow-up, the care here has been excellent. Dr Skillington’s guidance on heart health education and screening has given me real confidence about the year ahead.
