Great value and great service

My car was broken into and a rear window was smashed. The next day I called around and ended up choosing these guys. They arranged for someone to come out the same day and before I knew it, it was all done (and the smashed glass was all cleaned up nicely).

Effective Physiotherapy

I have seen Emma (for knee problems when cycling) and also Chloe (for back problems). Emma got me to bring my bike in and she helped fine-tune the setup to minimise the problem. Also in both cases, the exercises they recommended sounded strange but really worked.

Great Orthodontist

I had some orthodontic work done and ended up having braces on my bottom teeth. This then turned to a plate, and later a fixed wire.

I expected more for the price

After a recommendation from a friend, I went here for a cut and colour. I was in the mood for a change in style and/or colour and hoping that a good stylist would give some advice. But the hairdresser (Julie) talked me out of it. I think she was in a hurry and didn't want to waste time talking about it. I came away feeling like I'd paid for a good stylist but could have got the same result from most places.

Nice guy but I'm not sure about the quality of the work.

I saw this dentist for a couple of years. Had a couple of fillings and then a root canal done. Only a couple of years later, I'm now having most of that work done again. Obviously this could be for a number of different reasons.

A good dentist in the heart of the city

When I was working in the city I needed a dentist close by. I ended up seeing Jeremy about 5 times and had a few fillings done.

At last, a reliable cleaner who does a great job

Great Quality Framing - a true craftsman

I started using this framer when I worked nearby - initially for business certificates, press articles, awards, etc, and then later for personal stuff. Now I drive halfway across Melbourne to go there.

Excellent Bikram (hot) Yoga. For those that don't know, Bikram Yoga is done in a room heated to about 36 degrees - allowing you to stretch further and sweat - a lot!

I try to go here once or twice a week. I've tried a few different types of yoga but Bikram here is the one that I like best. The instructors are all really good - often that tiny adjustment makes all the difference.

Great doctors

I'm rarely sick but when I turned 30 I decided to have a full health check-up. Rosie was really helpful. Talked me through what was and wasn't important in my family history, and recommended the right tests.
