For a new patient, the clinical consultation is used to take a full history and perform a physical examination, and provides an opportunity to get a complete picture of the problem. This helps to guide further tests if necessary, ensuring they are clinically appropriate, and likely to be useful and helpful in reaching a diagnosis. Occasionally, a GP may refer a patient directly for a procedure, but we may elect to see the patient in rooms first if the history is complex, the patient is very young or very elderly, or suffers from a number of other medical conditions.  This is to ensure that it is safe to proceed with the requested tests, or to explore alternatives.

​

For a 'return' patient, the consultations are used for ongoing monitoring of a chronic condition, or to further investigate symptoms when previous tests have not been fruitful.

​

Procedures are not performed on the day of the clinical consultation, so there is no need to fast. Please note there are 5 steps up to the front door, but there is a lift inside the building to bring you to the first floor.

​

Consultation fees are payable on the day, by cash, or credit/debit card :

New patient : 280 euro

Return patient: 180 euro

​

A portion of this may be redeemable from your insurer, depending on your plan, and may also be claimed as a medical expense for tax purposes through the MED-1 form.
