Very disappointed. Referral was for eyes that would weep so much you had to have them closed while walking and also wondering why pupils were dilating and staying dilated every day. After almost an hour of eyesight testing and extreme rudeness directed at myself when Bruce wanted to look at my daughter's glasses and I questioned that. Almost at the end of consult, our issues had like 2 minutes spent on them, where he decided that my daughter would be referred to another ophthalmologist. It was very nice for Dr Munro to do a referral but unfortunately very unnecessary as we could only allocate 1 visit to an ophthalmologist per year due to at least a dozen other specialists being involved in a highly complex medical case with my very unwell daughter. I just wish the specialists would read their referrals and decide if they were the appropriate person to see rather than waste the very little time we have that my daughter is able to travel. Dr Munro would be very unaware that the trip and consult with him would be enough to cause my daughter to be housebound for the next 4 or so days in extreme pain while she recovered from the trip. For someone with many illnesses and many other conditions, some yet to be diagnosed it took a great toll out of her and for no gain what so ever. Reception staff were very pleasant and I found the Victorian building to be very beautiful. If you have eyesight problems, Dr Munro would be great at that. I believe the weeping eyes to be a symptom of Ehler Danos but I don't think Dr Munro even knows about that genetic condition.
I had a consultation with Dr Munro yesterday for my eye pressure and glaucoma. He was very thorough and ended up prescribing Lumigan eye drops to lower my pressure. I asked about side effects and he just mentioned insignificant effects. When I did some further investigation I saw a huge list of terrible side effects totally outweighing the benefits. I am cautious with any medication but this one does seem to do more harm than good. I was asked at my consultation to put a drop in each eye and by the time I had dinner that night my eyes were totally blood shot and my pupils were dilated and still are this morning. I am too worried about the damage this medication does and the terrible side effects it has to use it again. It is important to get my pressure down but there must be a way without doing all this harm to my body.
We were so very grateful to Dr Munro seeing our daughter. She has complex medical needs,he totally understood when we expressed our concerns re our daughters eye issues. The staff were really welcoming and extremely invested. He also works tirelessly to find out about any new treatments available. I love how they were with us every step of the way.Once again many thanks to him and his staff.
I have complete faith in Dr Munro and I honestly feel that he treats me with the same care that he would a member of his own family. He always perseveres to achieve the best possible outcome for me in the long term where others might have settled for less. Although I know I have more treatment and operations to come, knowing that I have Dr Munro on my side is a source of great comfort to me.
With many thanks to Dr. Bruce Munro and his staff for being extremely courteous during my last visit. He 100% bulk billed me which was really kind considering my circumstances. Dr Munros clinic is very well equipped and communication regarding appointments etc have been excellent. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone.
