I brought Dad in for his regular check-up and Dr Gunawardene was fantastic with the way he explained everything. He checked Dad’s meds carefully and updated a few dosages to suit his needs. Felt confident we’re in good hands here in Penrith.
The memory screening was thorough and supportive. My grandmother felt at ease in the consult, and the doctor provided clear steps for monitoring any changes. Great for peace of mind for us in the Western Sydney area.
Excellent fall risk assessment. We got practical advice on how to minimise hazards at home, plus a plan for regular follow-ups. Very reassuring knowing there’s a specialist who understands aged care here in Penrith.
Dr Gunawardene listened attentively and reviewed my mum’s medications carefully. It’s rare to find a GP who balances medical detail with genuine compassion. Highly recommend for senior care in NSW.
Very impressed with the memory screening process and the practical tips given for daily routines. The team explained things in plain English, which helped us plan ahead for Mum’s care.
We had a positive experience during our latest visit for a regular check-up. The doctor’s approach to medication management is reassuring, and I appreciate the clear communications while navigating care here in Penrith.
From the moment we arrived at 67 Evan Street, the service was diligent and respectful. The fall risk tips were practical, and I left feeling confident in the plan for my aunt’s ongoing care.
