I can recommend Dr O'Brien Counihan in the Naul. She has a female nurse based in the surgery too. The surgery is located just off exit 6 on the M1 the Balbriggan/Naul exit. ph 8412259Good Luck

Just looking at the Windmill webiste. Is Dr Connolly a permanent Doctor there? I hear she is very good and would like to register with them.

On their website she is not mentioned at all.

Thanks

She is a long term locum covering for another Doctor on maternity leave.

Wonder what they call long term? You know yourselves when you register with a new doctor you want to be able to build up a trust with him/her. Not to keen on seeing different Doctors each time I need to visit the surgery. Hope that makes sense?

I had my old Doctor since I was born until he died recently. My whole Family used him, so it is strange to be looking for a new one.

Thanks

Well if she's maternity cover I would guess typically between 6 months and a year, but you cannot accurately predict how long anyone will be away from work

Whilst there's a clear benefit of continuity, a practice with a number of doctors has the advantage that they can cover for each other and also have a variety of expertise, allowing them to bounce things off each other.

RobFowl

In this case it's longer term for the next year or so at least (AFAIK).
Generally that practice is a very stable one with a low turnover of Doctors (always a good sign)

I would highly recommend Lorraine, have been going to see her since she was in Mulhollands Surgery, when she left to set up on her own I followed
