    Hi Damien,

    I’m going private in Cork and going with Prof Greene. He was recommended to me by other doctors and also by others here.

    I have quiet a colourful medical history so was advised by GP and doctors in the family to go privately. Not sure what your wife/partners medical history but that’s just my own experience.

    This is my first baby so can’t really advise much else. Sorry I can’t be of much help!

    Edit: the fees are 3k but my health insurance gives back 400 I think and you can claim back 20% of the balance.

    If it’s twins Damo would it be ‘high risk’? I went private with first & was ‘high risk’ on second, roughly I found the care the same. Keelin O’Donoghe is brilliant if ur private & she was in charge of high risk clinic too. Congrats v exciting!
