Dr Louise Cunningham has been a great support for my mum during her annual wellness check. She explained memory assessments in a calm, clear way and helped us navigate medication management without all the fuss. We're glad she’s based near Royal Melbourne Hospital in Parkville and it’s easy to get there from our suburb.
I took my grandfather for a fall risk assessment and was impressed by Dr Cunningham’s thorough approach. She looked at his mobility, home safety, and even suggested small nutritional tweaks to keep his strength up. We left feeling relieved and well-informed.
Hearing about memory concerns is scary, but Dr Cunningham made our family feel supported. Her memory assessments were gentle, and her medication management recommendations have made a noticeable difference. Very grateful to have a local geriatrician in Parkville.
We visited for an annual wellness check and came away with practical tips on nutrition and fall prevention. Dr Cunningham listened to our concerns and explained options in plain language. Much appreciated.
As a caregiver, I value how Dr Cunningham coordinates care. Her detailed medication review and proactive fall risk assessment gave us confidence to plan ahead. The location at 300 Grattan Street is convenient for us coming from the inner suburbs.
I was impressed by the personalised approach during my mum’s appointment. The nutrition advice felt practical and easy to implement, and the memory check left us feeling reassured rather than worried. Highly recommended.
Dr Cunningham took the time to go over every detail of my dad’s care plan, from daily medications to safety at home. The thoroughness and kindness stood out; it’s reassuring to know there’s a trusted geriatrician in Melbourne.
