Female doctor

Hi I have recently moved to Dublin 14 area.

I am looking for recomendations for good female doctors in this area. Particulary one that specialises in women's health, fertility, pregnancy etc.

You may not have the luxury of choice. In my local (D.18) practice, I heard the receptionist on the phone to someone a few months ago and she was telling the caller that they're not taking on new patients.

As the Govt. expands free GP care to an ever-expanding cohort of the population, GP practices are feeling the strain. Give more and more people something for nothing and consumption increases. Where you have a finite resource to serve that demand, waiting times start to increase and medical practices stop taking on new patients.

Not sure if it is too far out of your way but the Slievemore Clinic in Stillorgan has several female doctors and good opening hours

You are really in for a shock.

What you are asking for is not unreasonable, but it's going to be years before the healthcare system in this country will provide that level of choice. Count yourself lucky if you even get a doctor and don't have to rely on locums and walk in centres.

Are you a medical card holder or private patient?

Dr. Heidi Kinsella in Dr. Ciaran Bent’s surgery. It is on the main street in Dundrum.

There is a female doctor in Goatstown Medical Centre who is meant to be good

Derval Mercer in The Gables Medical Centre in Nutgrove. Excellent throughout pregnancy and with children. Cannot recommend her enough. They also have a practise midwife Jane who has been fantastic.

Fiona Murphy in Centric Health Sandyford in incredibly good. Far and away the best doctor I have seen.
