Took the time and really listened to my daughter, who was obviously nervous. Made every effort to put her at ease. Friendly and knowledgeable. Considered the whole patient including mental health and impact on the presenting condition. I wish all our visits to the docs were like this.

Coming to see Dr. Shivamurty was the best decision I had made as a parent. He did not just examine my daughter thoroughly, he also spent his time engaged with my teenage daughter which made her feel at ease. He was calm and friendly, took time to listen, and answered all the questions with confidence and logic. We felt listened to for the first time, respected, and very reassured. It's a very positive experience with Dr Shivamurty and I would highly recommend him.

I had a very positive experience with Dr Shivamurthy. Being a medical professional myself there have been occasions with other clinicians where my concerns were either dismissed or I wasn't listened to. This appointment was very different, he was attentive, very thorough and spent time understanding what my concerns where. He established a very good rapport with my son which made the whole experience much easier for him. I would highly recommend Dr Shivamurthy to anyone who might've felt they have been dismissed as a 'worried parent' in the past, as he really does listen and makes you feel confident in his advice and reassurance. I would also like to note that his secretary Nicole has gone over and above to make the booking process easy and fit us in at short notice.
