Had a terrible bout with haemorrhoids and was dreading the scan. Dr Tonkin put me at ease from the moment I walked into his North Adelaide clinic. The colposcopy/screening process was smooth, and the results were explained clearly. Extremely grateful for the careful care and straightforward follow-up plan.
After dealing with persistent anal discomfort, I finally got a proper diagnosis. Dr Tonkin listened, explained the treatment options, and I opted for the minimally invasive approach. Felt supported through every step and my symptoms improved fast. Highly recommend for anyone in Adelaide needing specialist care.
I needed a laparoscopic appendectomy and was anxious about surgery. Dr Tonkin and the team were fantastic—clear about what to expect, reassuring, and the recovery has been smooth. North Adelaide is easy to get to, and the aftercare instructions were excellent.
When I developed a pilonidal cyst, I booked with Dr Tonkin based on a friend's recommendation. The procedure went well, and I appreciated the thorough explanation of aftercare. Pain management was well handled and I’m back running around Adelaide Hill Triangle without worry.
Great experience from start to finish. The haemorrhoid treatment I received was effective, and the doctor took time to discuss lifestyle tweaks to prevent a recurrence. North Adelaide is a convenient spot, with friendly staff and minimal wait times.
Excellent colorectal care. Dr Tonkin performed my colonoscopy screening with professionalism and a reassuring manner. I appreciated the calm explanation of findings and the practical next steps. Would definitely recommend to others in SA.
I had recurring anal fissures and was nervous about treatment. Dr Tonkin offered clear options and helped me choose the right path. Post-procedure care was thorough and I’m back to normal activities here in Adelaide without discomfort.
