Dr Hugh O'Connor (Coombe Private) - I'm attending for my first baby. Find him just fantastic. Really listens to patients and takes everything you say seriously. Makes a note of every ache and cramp and is never dismissive like some docs can be. Very decisive and positive when there's an issue. An absolute gentleman to deal with. Seems to work morning, noon and night but is as friendly and understanding at the end of a long day as he is on his first day back after holidays. A real professional.

The staff on St Partick's Ward are outstanding. They manage to share equipment and work with limited resources without once making the patient feel anything other than cared for, respected and prioritised.

I recieved outstanding care from everyone, but would like to give a special mention to student Pauline Fallon. She was professionable, knowledgable, kind, caring and compassionate. She calmed me down when I really needed it and helped make our experience all the more magical. Also Bronagh on Our ladys ward. No question was a hassle.
