The customer service is wonderful from reception to all who work there. David is knowledgeable and thorough and has helped me greatly where Western Medicine hasn't. Both the herbs and acupuncture have done wonders to my physical and mental health (awful anxiety) and overall well-being. The improvement in my health is palpable.

David has been able to treat all of these simultaneously, and my quality of life has improved immensely in just a few months. I can now go for walks and enjoy working in my garden again, and my anxiety has improved by leaps and bounds. I can drive my car again and I look forward to social events. He's even helped with my hayfever. He is compassionate and non-judgemental, and has a genuinely caring manner. I'd absolutely recommend him.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Loretta Staffieri2020-12-25David is amazing.

After suffering for over 20 years with ongoing medication I'm well on my journey to being cured rarely having to medicate.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Vanta Williams2019-08-10Dr David Edwards has been treating me for approximately 10 months now and I was lucky enough to meet him through my osteopath in the same clinic. I was diagnosed with an extremely rare disease called “Dercums Disease” and could not find a doctor or specialist in Victoria to help me. David had so many things to focus on such as my blood pressure, cholesterol, IBS, anxiety, headaches, dizziness, brain fog, bladder infections, fluid retention, fatigue (short of breath) and most of all pain caused by hundreds of lipomas in my body. I could not stand for more than 15 minutes and kept falling. The Chinese herbal medicine along with acupuncture has not only improved my overall health but is also shrinking my lipomas and has put me on the road to recovery. Furthermore, I have lost 25 kilos in total and am 70% better now than when I entered his office. I am forever grateful I met Dr David and will continue this treatment, he is an incredibly intelligent professional doctor with high expertise in this field of work. I can personally say Dr David’s highest priority is to treat each patient with the uttermost care and respect and I am highly recommending him. Thankyou David
