    It's pretty much a 50/50 split for most people as to how good he is. Personally I don't rate him and he does have a significant malpractice ruling against him. Having said that, I also know people, like yourself, who think he's great.

    Bracken clinic are good, although long waits even when you have an appointment.

    I don't think either Skerries or Balbriggan would suit OP though if they are looking for medical care and have kids - last thing you want is to have to drive a sick child any further than absolutely necessary.

    Thank you all for the replies and yes as little Ted says it's not ideal for me to travel far with two small children unfortunately and as far as I know there is only the fingal clinic in lusk and with no offence to them I don't think they are very good and they are constantly changing doctors and not for the better imho, just wish I could find a real good doctor close to home..!!

    Sorry I can't give a recommendation for your area Hotchkiss. It is getting tougher to find decent doctors anywhere these days.

    Wow..didn't know that. I suppose it's like anything else, some people will have good and some people bad things to say about a service.

    always a good idea to google your doctors name followed by malpractice! ;)
