Dr Christine Heffernan was fantastic during my annual physical. She explained my blood pressure and cholesterol results in plain terms, and I left feeling reassured about managing my diabetes. The Shellharbour clinic in Stockland Shopping Centre is convenient, and the staff were friendly and efficient.
Had a flu vaccination with Dr Heffernan and was in and out quickly. She checked in on my hypertension and gave clear advice on lifestyle changes. I appreciate how thorough she is without making you feel overwhelmed.
Great local GP in Shellharbour. I came in for a routine health check and to discuss ongoing diabetes management. She listened carefully, adjusted my meds, and booked me in for follow-up tests. The Centre was easy to reach and parking was handy.
Very happy with Dr Heffernan. She treated my cold quickly and took the time to review my ongoing blood pressure readings. Felt supported with vaccination updates and a clear plan for the next visit.
Relieved to find a GP who genuinely cares about long-term health. We discussed my cholesterol management at length, and she rang through a few follow-up options. Shellharbour locals are lucky to have this clinic.
