Dr Alan cross He has been a brilliant consultant to be under. He has taken excellent care of me since I first met him. He explains everything to be and even when I was very sick at home I could always ring his office and he would return my call. He is a great doctor/consultant. I feel very safe in his care.

Mr. Liam Joyce was wonderful, he left no stone unturned for my mum under his care. He listened to our concerns & promptly arranged for other consultants to see her and carry out investigations. He was very thorough & could not have done more or been more kind. Nothing was any trouble to him & he spent so much time explaining all to us. We were so blessed to have Mr. Joyce looking after us.

Dr M McWeeney Respiratory Consulant. This doctor deverves a Victoria Cross for action above and beyond the call of duty. He turned over every pebble never mind stone to find out why I was getting serious life threatening infections and nothing was asking too much. Also he explained everything in plain English which I understood. I cannot say enough about Dr McWeeney.

To actually meet consultants that sit at your bedside and speak to you like you are a person and not an object is great and the consultants in the Galway Clinic do this and really take their time to explain things.

The whole experience was by far the best medical care I have ever received. The consultants speak to you like you are human and not a burden.

I had a knee replaced earlier this year. I thought the nurses were fantastic in Freyer, especially Trease and Fiona. I never saw a manager during my stay. I found kitchen staff rude at times and a huge language barrier.
