I was admitted a couple of months ago for a cardiac bypass surgery under Mr Hossein Javadpour, an excellent surgeon and above all a very good human being. He and his team were very professional and I have no words to thank them fully.The nursing staff were also very kind and attentive.

While all the gynae doctors I dealt with were very nice I would like to especially mention Dr Bobby O'Leary. His patient care was exceptional. He showed real concern for me and the level of pain I was experiencing. He treated me with great kindness and went out of his way to ensure that I got the pain relief I needed. I cannot speak highly enough of him and can't thank him enough for his care.

St Joseph's ward, outstanding treatment from everyone. Domestic staff, trainee staff, nurses, catering staff. I was under Professor McGory, his team were attentive to every detail! The doctor on his team (Aiden I think) - I owe him a debt of gratitude.
