MR NEELIKA DAYANANDA REVIEWS
Had a knee replacement done early this year and couldn't be happier with the result. My knee is now better than expected with no pain after exercise. Many thanks to Dr Dayananda and the team at swan hill hospital.
I have been a patient of Mr Dayananda's for almost 2 years now. You wouldn't find a more caring and wonderful surgeon if you tried! He makes absolutely certain that he has tried everything possible before he goes down the surgery path and makes sure that you are well prepared for surgery if you need it with physio put into place before and after. I couldn't recommend him highly enough.
Neelika and Helene are great to deal with. As a B2B provider for them, it was great to see a business so keen on providing a professional and safe environment for their staff and clients alike. In our meetings, it was clear to see Mr Dayananda was at the forefront of his industry and very thorough in his process. High St Orthopaedics Bendigo are a supplier of choice in their industry and a pleasure to do business with.

MR BRENDAN SOO - BENDIGO ORTHOPAEDIC SPORTS MEDICINE REVIEWS
Thank you to Mr Dugal James and his wonderful team, for making me feel relaxed during and after my surgery, thank you Dugal.
They are the reason I am still able to train and compete in my sport. Highly recommended.
Hello everyone I have recently had a right damaged shoulder repaired including full thickness rotator cuff tears among other issues. I would like to state here and now that Dr Brendan Soo did such a great job of the surgery that I was discharged four days later pain free. I would state here & now that this review is /was totally unsolicited and wish to thank Dr Soo for his great work. Thank you. - RS
I had major shoulder surgery back in 2020 with Mr brendan Soo after a work incident and not getting checked for months after the incident. Brendan was highly recommended by health professionals and I understood why after meeting the man, confident but extremely professional and straight to the point (in a nice way) never rude not once. I got a video on a card showing the surgery and how it was done. Recovery and physio was rough but 2 1/2 years later it feels better than it ever was I’m back boxing and doing weights and feeling great. Thank you so much to Mr Brendan Soo and his team who are amazing to deal with. If you can get referred to Brendan you will not regret it he is the best in the business - MC
