I received excellent care from Prof Morrison and his staff. The unit was very well run. I felt listened to and I received above adequate care. It was clean and there was an air of calm, which was extremely different from my experience in Holles St two years previously.

The team that work for Prof Kerin - Dr Peadar Waters, Dr Joe Shehan, Dr Patrick Burke and Dr Rob - very young doctors but unbelieveably nice, courteous, kind and caring. Patient being 90 years old - their care and treatment was excellent and it should be noted.

On the birth of our daughter last week we received the most wonderful care from a student named Ciara. She made the experience about us even though there were a few people in the labour ward and the maternity ward was very busy. The theatre staff were just as fantastic. I cannot remember the woman's name who was in recovery with me but she was amazing with both myself and my husband. Thank you all.
