General Practices Dublin 14

I've never felt inclined to review any place, never mind a Dr.'s office, but my experience here was so wonderful I thought others should know. I'm originally from the US, and have had asthma all my life. Throughout my childhood and adolescence, I've consistently been told there was nothing they could do to further help my asthma as I typically don't wheeze and my oxygen levels remain in the healthy range, however, I will have coughing fits so intense I throw up. At one trip to the ER, when I was 19, a doctor tried to tell me I wasn't experiencing an asthma attack (despite my medical history) but anxiety, and try to prescribe me medication. I am used to fighting for treatment and being gaslit by medical professionals. I saw Dr. Louise and cannot express enough how cared for and listened to she made me feel. She was personable and very knowledgeable, showing me a website for the Asthma Society of Ireland and explaining recent research suggesting other medication (which is what I typically used). She even texted me a link explaining how to use this kind of inhaler. The office lady was also amazing as she walked me through how to file claims with my Irish insurance company. In my whole 25 years of life, this is the best care I've received in regards to my asthma and I am so thankful to have been taken seriously and given an effective treatment.

I have had difficulties with chronic fatigue since my teenage years. I was diagnosed with interstitial cystitis (IC) in my early twenties and later with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). I developed hormonal acne and started to experience hot flushes after my children were born, even though I am still only in my thirties. I started to experience chronic joint pain 18 months ago. My chronic fatigue was becoming particularly debilitating. I was taking medication on a daily basis for joint pain and my IC and IBS symptoms were worsening. I found that conventional medicine was unable to assist me. I was merely ‘existing’ for years; I was not ‘living’; I did not have anything that remotely resembled a decent quality of life. I researched doctors in Ireland who could assist with chronic fatigue and having read through the Drummartin Clinic website and reviews, I settled on Dr. Patrick Magovern. I was very thankful to find Dr. Magovern as I didn’t feel anyone else I researched would be able to help me. Being a health professional myself, I have an insight into how patients should be treated and I was very impressed with Dr. Magovern’s thoroughness, conscientiousness, his interest in my case and his knowledge and the level of CPD he has completed in the field of Functional Medicine. I was also impressed with his warm and caring disposition and his holistic approach to my treatment. I felt empowered after my consultations with Dr Magovern. He encouraged me to research Functional medicine and treatments and gave me a feeling of ownership over getting my health back on track while being guided by his expert advice regarding the treatments that I required. I also feel very well-cared for by the nurse in his practice and have never experienced anything like the level of interest she has taken in my case to ensure I get the best possible care. Within weeks of starting the new treatments, I noticed a significant improvement in all of my symptoms including my energy levels and my mood, which had become impacted by my poor quality of life. The speed and depth of the improvements were completely unexpected by my husband and I. I feel incredibly grateful to have finally found a professional who has the skills to help me to become well again and to live a full and meaningful life. I am also grateful for the warm and caring nature of all staff in the Clinic.
