Booked a full health assessment for my dad with Dr Gunawardene in Penrith. Took the time to go through his meds and sorted a clear plan to reduce his fall risk. Feels like we finally have a handle on things and the kids are relieved.
Great experience at 67 Evan Street. Dr Piumali asked all the right questions about memory and daily routines, then suggested practical nutrition tips for my grandmother. Highly recommend for older adults in the area.
Very approachable and thorough. We came in worried about my grandfather’s medicines, and Dr Gunawardene reviewed every script, flagged interactions, and set up simple reminders. It’s been a big relief.
From the moment we walked into the Penrith clinic, the care was evident. Memory screening done with sensitivity, and the nutritional advice for my aunt was practical and easy to follow. Would n‑line again.
Dr Piumali’s guidance on fall risk assessment was exactly what my mum needed. We left with a clear plan to modify the home and a better understanding of her medications. Very grateful.
Appreciated the personalised approach. The geriatrician took time to explain why certain medications were prescribed and how to monitor side effects. Penrith’s a bit far, but worth it for this level of care.
Excellent service for an older parent. Memory screening done thoughtfully, and the follow-up plan included easy-to-implement nutrition tips. Dr Gunawardene makes the whole process reassuring.
