Relieved to finally get a clear plan for my COPD management. Dr Brereton explained everything in plain terms and his smoking cessation advice was practical. Would happily recommend to friends in the Illawarra.
I went in for a sleep apnea evaluation and left with a straightforward treatment plan. The clinic in Wollongong is easy to reach and the staff were friendly. Highly recommend Dr Brereton.
As someone who used to snore badly, I was skeptical. Dr Brereton took the time to listen and arranged a clear sleep study path. Great bedside manner and very thorough.
Fantastic guidance on asthma management for my teenager. We appreciated the practical tips and the follow-up plan. It’s comforting to have a local specialist in Wollongong we can rely on.
