    I'm private with Dr. Shane Higgins and I can't say enough good things about him. He is so patient and caring and I feel he really listens. I had some other issues with my cervix prior to becoming pregnant and he has just been super!!!

    I'm attending Shane Higgins privately too, he is really lovely and I can't recommend him enough. I think he only does private care however and not semi-private.

    From the list, two friends have had their babies delivered by Peter McPartland and Loaise O'Brien and both came highly recommended.

    I would not recommend one doctor mentioned, for medical reasons. PM me for information.

    We had Laoise and she is lovely. If something had gone wrong I feel she would have been very good however I had a straightforward enough pregnancy.

    She's very busy though and at times was waiting over an hour (and many times much longer) to see her. I was disappointed she didn't come to see me on the ward at all. My last appointment hadn't been with her either as it was a bank hol and she only has the semi private clinic on a Monday afternoon so I had to go to a different lady.
    Good luck with your choice.

    im attending Stephen Carrol in the semi private clinic i attended him last time too and found him grand. To be honest as a semi p patient you dont see too much of them the clinic appts last at most 5 mins and they dont attend the birth.
