I booked with Dr Vanitha in Wollongong for a persistent cough that wouldn’t quit. She listened carefully, ran the right tests, and explained my treatment plan in plain terms. I’ve started the new inhaler and my cough has already eased. Couldn’t be happier with the care I received.
Was dealing with sleep disturbances and suspected sleep apnea. Dr Vanitha organised a thorough evaluation and talked me through the results and next steps clearly. I’ve now updated my sleep routine and feel more rested. Great local GP with a gentle approach.
