Chantelle McNamara works in the Keogh Practice in Ballybricken NOT in the Rowe Creavin

My family attend Dr. Cormac O'Nuallain in Rocwood Manor, Johns Hill.

Surgery hours are from 8am until 7pm which is very handy for one of these things you have to see the doctor for, but it is not an emergency.

He is very decent and a rock of common sense. He can listen and make suggestions where a tablet is not often necessary. He doesn't sweat the small stuff. For instance my cholesterol is a little bit high......remedy = lose weight, exercise and stay away from junky food in moderation and then we will see how it is. So, the onus is on me to look after my lifestyle and not just take a tablet! He also can dispense old fashioned real advice.

Most importantly he knows times are changed and is very decent with his fee especially if its the kids or a repeat visit.

His Practice Partner, Dr. Gray, seems a logical down to earth person also and also dispenses information instead of just a tablet. She is of a quiet and pleasant disposition as well as efficient.

Oh, and and the practice staff are all nice people too and not interfering or rude. I would recommend this practice.

BTW, Welcome to Waterford and the SE. Enjoy

yeah I know. Op asked for Waterford doctor it was someone else who mentioned Rowe practise so I presume the op was still open to a Waterford doctor.

Thanks for emphasising the "not". I would have been COMPLETELY confused if it wasn't for that.

I go to Dr. de Villiers in Rowe Creavin and I'm really happy with him. Haven't had a regular GP in nearly 7 years due to moving around quite a bit but I've now settled down here and after a recent accident I've been into Dr. de Villiers a good bit and he's really good. Doesn't just whip out the old prescription pad to get you out of his office and takes his time with you. Went in there one week after my accident just to ask a few questions about my injuries and he took his time, didn't feel like I was wasting his time or anything because I just wanted my mind put at ease.

Find all the staff in the health centre excellent. My bf's dad's GP for 12 years was Dr. Rowe and he was very good to him.

I had to make an appointment last week to see Dr. O'Nuallain and was advised that evening surgery is now until six o'clock (6pm) latest. Opening hours until seven finished a couple of weeks ago the receptionist said.
