Dr Colin Little Allergist, Mount Waverley

I have been seeing Dr Little since October 2012. He is an extremely knowledgeable, compassionate and committed specialist doctor.

Dr Little investigates through a series of either sublingual allergy drops, blood tests, food challenges or looks at your surrounding (or all of these as he did with me) to work out what is making you sick.

This took some time for me as I have debilitating sensitives to an endless list of triggers.

I cannot express enough appreciation for what Dr Little has done for me, his specialist care is second to none. There are not many doctors in Australia who have the knowledge regarding my illness that he does, so I feel very fortunate that we are both located in Victoria so I can reap the benefit of his expertise.

Dr Little is an extraordinarily learned man, actively engaged in pioneering research in this field as well as running an extremely busy practice. As such he may occasionally come across as distracted or distant, but you can absolutely depend on his advice and treatment. The treatments require discipline and this is hard for many patients who want a quick fix. He is compassionate, dedicated, and brilliant. I spent over 10 years with an increasingly debilitating illness, where I had seen multiple specialists over the years who prescribed multiple medications, none of which seemed to help until I came across Dr Little. I accidentally ran into him whilst in a hospital unit in which there were several of his patients. After extensive testing and a very rigorous regime of exclusions, my health improved dramatically, to the point where I needed no more medications. Before this I would never have guessed that the broad range of symptoms I had could be allergy related. Note that the treatment took several years, but my quality of life went from zero (bedridden) to being able to live a relatively normal life and recommenced employment.

Lacks empathy, respect. Does not provide basic information or ask before doing tests (for which you are charged extra

After suffering for years with bad hay fever I finally decided to bite the bullet and see an allergist. Dr Little was recommended to me by work colleagues who found his treatment to be very helpful. He is a specialist physician, whose expertise is in diagnosing and treating allergies. His approach to diagnonsis is very thorough and after this you can then choose whether to have his practice administer the desensitization injections or your local GP can do this. He has a kind, if slightly eccentric manner, and his reception and nursing staff are all very pleasant.
