I've been seeing David for the last few months - I was initially being treated for a DVT and had suffered 9 miscarriages in the past 4 years - not only did he help dissolve a clot that I've had for the last 10 years and improve blood circulation naturally, I am now finally pregnant which I never though would be possible again after my first child. Thank you! Although the pregnancy was a delightful surprise, I sincerely did not believe it was possible! His treatments are effective and improve your health for the long term

I was referred to David by Peter one of the osteos at the clinic (Reservoir Osteopathic Clinic). The customer service is wonderful from reception to all who work there. David is knowledgeable and thorough and has helped me greatly where Western Medicine hasn't. Both the herbs and acupuncture have done wonders to my physical and mental health (awful anxiety) and overall well-being. The improvement in my health is palpable. Thank you David

David’s approach is tailored to your specific needs and not a One size fits all. David is results driven and very knowledgeable in his field. I highly recommend seeing David particularly if you’ve had no luck with western medicine.

I have multiple issues including ulcerative colitis, chronic pain, arthritis and social/generalised anxiety, and had limited mobility. David has been able to treat all of these simultaneously, and my quality of life has improved immensely in just a few months. I can now go for walks and enjoy working in my garden again, and my anxiety has improved by leaps and bounds. I can drive my car again and I look forward to social events. He's even helped with my hayfever. He is compassionate and non-judgemental, and has a genuinely caring manner. I'd absolutely recommend him.

David is amazing. I was suffering from constant abdominal bloating, feeling sluggish and feeling heaviness in my legs. I was also experiencing pain in my hip. Not anymore with David’s help. The acupuncture and Chinese herbs have been life changing!! I’ve been able to lose weight and feel fantastic. Thank you David

David's treatment for my chronic migraines is nothing short of remarkable. After suffering for over 20 years with ongoing medication I'm well on my journey to being cured rarely having to medicate.

Dr David Edwards has been treating me for approximately 10 months now and I was lucky enough to meet him through my osteopath in the same clinic. I was diagnosed with an extremely rare disease called “Dercums Disease” and could not find a doctor or specialist in Victoria to help me. David had so many things to focus on such as my blood pressure, cholesterol, IBS, anxiety, headaches, dizziness, brain fog, bladder infections, fluid retention, fatigue (short of breath) and most of all pain caused by hundreds of lipomas in my body. I could not stand for more than 15 minutes and kept falling. The Chinese herbal medicine along with acupuncture has not only improved my overall health but is also shrinking my lipomas and has put me on the road to recovery. Furthermore, I have lost 25 kilos in total and am 70% better now than when I entered his office. I am forever grateful I met Dr David and will continue this treatment, he is an incredibly intelligent professional doctor with high expertise in this field of work. I can personally say Dr David’s highest priority is to treat each patient with the uttermost care and respect and I am highly recommending him. Thankyou David
