Dundrum Medical & Dental Centre

I attended this surgery very recently. I had been meaning to attend.
I’ll start by saying, is difficult to find the place if you have not been before. It’s on the top floor over what appears to be the top floor! Easily missed! Say you park on level –2, it’s a long way up! That said you don’t have to park on –2!
The bad news — the main problem here is how late they run, usually 40 – 60 minutes after your time, this is the case day or evening and I must have been a dozen times to the surgery.
The good news — The Doctor is always the same doctor. It’s really a 1 Dr practice and the hours this poor man does! The staff will tell you it’s non stop for him. He’s a foreign gentleman and might seem to be approaching your care in a different way to other GP’s, but to be honest he’s entirely on the ball and very straight to the point. He’s also frank. He is educated on meds and he sincerely wishes you well. He’s a gentleman.
He gets full marks.
So, only 3 stars because of the delays, otherwise it would be 5 stars.
All said, I would recommend this surgery
Oh and there’s a dentist, counsellor and a few other practitioners too! Pharmacy below too.

A medical centre with GP’s available for Saturday’s… Yes, yes, yes! In need of a GP on a Saturday, I’m so glad I found this place. They were able to fit me in for an appointment and having not been here before the registration process was easy and within a few minutes I was being called by the doctor. I found him tentative and thorough, thankfully 3 days out and I feel 100% better! They take credit card payments which is great, it’s a complete medical centre with GP’s, Travel Medical Bureau, Skin and Laser Treatments all available. It’s a professional set up, not your run of the mill doctors surgery.

As far as I can work out this dentist is part of a chain of dentists and so the costs are cheaper than other dentists. As I said in another review I needed to get two wisdom teeth taken out and after a huge quote from a dentist in Dundrum village I decided to wander up to the fourth floor of the Dundrum shopping centre and see what the dentist in there was like.
This was fairly spontaneous, just in the middle of a shopping trip! Anyway I went into the dentists room, again purely looking for a quote and the dentist came in a really really lovely man from Libya who was a perfect dentist, almost treated you like a child (in a good way) in the way he explained things about what he would have to do and in trying to make you comfortable (and not petrified!). So after a minute of surveying my teeth he quoted me a price, I presumed that was for one tooth but no, it was for both! And for a third of the price of the other dentist! I was delighted! And then he said he would do one of them immediately! I hesitated but then said, ah sure fe*k it go ahead and whip one of them out, I would probably spend ages drumming up the courage to come back anyway!
Now getting out a wisdom tooth anywhere is going to be traumatic, I mean they are pulling a tooth out of your head! How can that be a nice experience?! There was lots of pulling and wiggling and the like and I was constantly asked if I needed a break or a rest and if I was alright. He had it out in half an hour and in one piece. Now having a tooth out in one piece might not seem like something that is particularly great but you should have seen this tooth. It was huge and the four roots were curved in opposite directions, they looked as if they were curled around my jaw bone! This man got that yoke out of my jaw in one piece! I honestly do not know how!
Afterwards my mouth was bleeding for a day which is normal but I had no swelling and no bruising and not much pain at all. This man is a miracle worker in my eyes! I went back two weeks later and got the other one out too, same story horrible mutant curly tooth, out in one piece, no extreme trauma.
I have since recommended this dentist to lots of friends and colleagues and everyone has been so satisfied so there you go Mr Miracle Dentist you’re getting a much deserved five stars!
