    I have been using the one in Sandyford for a few years now and I have to say I've never had any trouble with them. I pay the 18 euro a month direct debit. I find it a lot cheaper as I end up having to go to the GP for prescriptions etc quite often.

    The only thing I don't like is that the doctors seem to change a lot so you never know who you're getting. I usually book my appointments by email and they reply very quickly, I've never had any trouble getting one.

    I was tempted to cancel after seeing all the negative comments but I think I'll stick with them for now until I'm not happy myself. If you find yourself going to the GP more than a couple of times a year I would recommend them cost wise.

    See this interesting Article in the Irish Examiner today 27th September 2016: gp-service-relaunches-with-new-name-despite-owing-money-to-staff-and-patients .

    It is the people who paid upfront for membership that have been affected.

    How are you getting on with the new/same company. Have you used then recently KatieBelle92?

    I've used them a few times since they rebranded and there's been no changes. In fact I emailed them the other day asking for a repeat prescription and they replied within minutes saying it was waiting for me at reception. I just can't fault them at the moment apart from not liking a couple of the doctors in the past. When I go now I usually ask for the same doctor and they can generally oblige.

    I tried, for nearly a year, to get my yearly fee, paid up front, refunded to me, because I could never get an appointment in the Templeogue branch. I was told, on one occasion, that I could have an appointment on the Friday week, this was on a Tuesday or Wednesday!! They were rude, unresponsive when emailed, and obviously just wanted the money, and to hell with the patients. So angry that I was taken in by this,never again.

    Doesn't look good. Who from the Sandyford area will travel to Swords for a GP appointment?
