Saw Prof Bucknill after a finger fracture at Royal Melbourne Hospital. He explained the casting process clearly and reassured me about the healing timeline. The splint he used felt secure, and I appreciated the guidance on when to start gentle movement.
Had a shoulder injury and was worried about injections. Prof Bucknill was patient and professional, walked me through the benefits of a joint injection and what to expect. Felt confident leaving the appointment and the staff were great in Carlton.
Excellent fracture care. The team at 300 Grattan Street got me in quickly, the cast was comfortable, and I was given a clear plan for physio referrals. Recovery is on track, thanks to Prof Bucknill’s thorough approach.
I broke my wrist during a weekend ride and needed prompt attention. Prof Bucknill assessed, immobilised, and explained the rehab steps. The follow-up physio referral made a real difference to my range of motion.
Very relieved after my ankle fracture treatment. The casting was solid and comfortable, and the doctor took time to answer all my questions. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to friends in Melbourne.
Professional and pragmatic. I appreciated the straightforward advice on when to start gentle movement and how to manage swelling. The joint injection option was clearly explained, and I felt supported throughout the process in Parkville.
Grateful for the attentive care from Prof Bucknill. He organised effective casting and provided a clear plan for rehab with a solid physio referral. Melbourne locals will know this is a reliable orthopaedic option.
