Perth Sports Medicine - Claremont

Fantastic Bloke, Colm was spot on time and had a beautiful manner with my 15 year old daughter. He was exceptionally thorough in his examination and gave us plenty of time to discuss her injury. Would highly recommend. A big thanks to you Colm.

Great care by Colm. Accurate diagnosis and management specific to my issue. Would recommend.

Dr Simon Jenkin was excellent and has a calm, friendly and professional manner. He quickly identified the structural issues with my recurrent ankle injuries and was able to offer a range of options regarding next steps. He took the time to explain the mechanics of the injury, and speak through each of my options in detail - he was clearly knowledgeable about the pros, cons and risks of each. He put my mind at ease about eventually returning to my sport and the steps needed to reach my short and long-term goals.

I saw Dr Simon Jenkin after a knee injury while playing netball. He immediately helped me to feel comfortable and provided a safe space where I was able to freely discuss my concerns and ask questions.His treatment of my ACL injury combining medical and rehab exercises helped me to get back to running and tennis with full strength and no risk of further injury. Not only did I have full confidence in his knowledge and expertise, he is also an all round great guy to work with, and I will continue to recommend to others.

I highly recommend Dr Simon Jenkin. I enjoy running (maybe a bit too much) and developed medial tibial stress. I would have definitely returned to running too soon and made things worse if it wasn't for Dr Jenkin's advice. He took the time to explain the pictures, my injury to me, talk me through what I can and can't do, and helped me deal with some of my disappointment. He showed genuine warmth, concern and I'm confident I'll be back running again in the not too distant future.

putrid experience- Herniated disc - He would not send me for MRI just more pills - hurt my back end of April 2019. My GP sent me for an injection in my spine, did nothing got recommended Gary Couanis . Was busy so unfortunately got Colm.Visit 1 Beginning of July, Colm 30 min late. Tell him hurt my back, had a ct scan and injection. Scan shows a bone spur on my spine. Tell him known about the spur for 15 years and this problem is different and the pain is different. Sent for another injection. Injection did nothing.Visit 2 beginning of August- 30 mins late. Didn't have my file up, finally looks at it mentions the bone spur. Same conversation, known about it for 15 years, different pain. Ask for MRI. Told need to wait 20 weeks before a surgeon would see me. Puts me on LyricaVisit 3 beginning of September - 45 min late. Brings up the bone spur, I request an MRI. Will not do it. Puts me on Pregabellin. Meant to only do this for 5 days. Tells me to do ten days.
