The waiting room is…read morenice - warm lighting, TV with news, subdued artwork on the walls, and professional reception staff. However, more importantly, both the doctor and the nurse I saw were so efficient, thorough, professional, and warm. This visit put my uncertainties at ease when it comes to finding a new physician (moved here a year ago from the U.S.A.) I was very pleased with my visit and feel I'm in good hands. Here's to 'an apple a day' keeping the doctor away - but, if it doesn't, this is where I'll be!

Over the years the doctors working there have changed and I usually seem to get a different doctor each time a make an appointment. I can understand that they are a busy clinic, but it would be handy to see the same doctor so you don't have to explain things multiple times or have them stare at the computer trying to figure out your medical history. On a good day I only wait 5-10 mins from my appointed time, but on a really bad day it can go up to 30mins. The clinic itself is very clean and big, has BBC on the tv and it's not too hard to make an appointment with the exception of December~ January. They do travel health and immunisations as well at a cheaper rate than places like Tropical Medical Bureau but are only open until 5:30pm. Overall, nice clinic, efficient service and professional staff.

As a private patient, I…read moredon't visit all that often but when I do, I want a straightforward, no-nonsense diagnosis from somebody who know what they're talking about. I have always received that here and to add, the price is reasonable considering the area. The hours are extremely convenient as there's nothing more frustrating than working a 9-5 and not being able to do any the things I need to do (like visiting my GP) after work. Luckily, this place is open late - and on weekends, Happy with the service and won't be changing any time soon!

It has taken some time, but they seem to have settled with a really good base of doctors now. I believe you need to be registered with the surgery prior to being able to see one of the doctors, so that is something to note, if you have moved into the area. I know a few years ago, they were not taking new patients but this may now have changed. There is a free hearing test clinic on-site, a pharmacy next-door and a dedicated nurse. There is also plenty of parking at the surgery or right across the road in the Tesco car-park. It means the visit to the doctors is hassle free. It is €55 for a standard appointment, which I do know is dearer than some other places.

We were here to visit a relative experiencing real challenges. He got a heart - related device implanted several weeks ago: AF, cardiomyopathy. Once fitted, he took himself off to southern Spain allegedly to relax which he tells me included extensive exertion swimming long distances in the sea every morning. The upshot after a few weeks was he developed an infection in the surgical wound that led to Spanish hospital admission. Once fit to fly he returned home on a Saturday, presenting to the private hospital that fitted the device on a Monday. He's there now four weeks. I suppose there's no fool like an old fool after all. They've apparently thrown out the first €12k device. They'll put in another at €12k once his infections, that following a TEE procedure also confirmed a heart infection, clear up; with the help of pretty sizeable antibiotic doses. The Irish Republic has an American - based medical system thanks to a numbskull politician Mary Harney; it also has huge housing, education and immigration problems. Mary is now 71 and may soon learn first hand how awful the health system is for 99% of the population. All she needs is one serious illness to empty her bank accounts: doctors must have their pockets stuffed with gold. The American system gives most Irish people the worst of all worlds despite paying a lot of money. They aren't treated on clinical need rather and usually via pricy insurance on ability to pay. Despite good health insurance our relative now has to find at least €40,000 and counting from his own resources this year. That would make one ill. The hospital is grotty, third world, chaotically run, with a Starbucks cafe in the main concourse that on top of already rip-off prices forces customers to use paper cups then adds 35 cents to the daylight robbery price for each cup. There is only one out of three toilets working here. A hospital, and the only one for miles around, has one working toilet for a lot of footfall and security staff that don't have English as a first language, taking the brunt of understandably unhappy people. They are the only folks prepared to take these low wage, crap, thankless jobs. If immigration stopped so would this badly broken health service that only helps fill the overseas bank accounts of multi millionaires and billionaires. The lily livered politicians are in fear and hock to these people instead of taxing and regulating them properly. Add to this mess Apple: not the fruit that keeps doctors away but the American mega company and the European Court of Justice who ruled Apple must pay Ireland €14 billion. It's a long story worth googling, there's a history here as Apple didn't want to pay and Irish politicians didn't want to receive. Yip it seems an Apple that pays keeps investment away. I think the politicians just don't know how to waste that amount of money. So the hospital reflects Ireland. It looks great from afar but up close it's broken. They can't even organise enough cataract operations to help repair their elderly citizens that built the country. Now it's a mini America. The politicians are useless so nothing will change. While they bungle, bluster and cock up most things (while enriching themselves) the mega companies, foreign and local millionaires and billionaires stuff the Caymans and such places with enough money from the great unwashed to make the €14 billion look like crumbs on the balance sheet. As for me I better stop visiting ill relatives in badly broken hospitals in a very badly run country.

Echoing Karina C's review, Michaels rarely seems to be busy. I'm sure they are, but they hide it…read morewell. You're never waiting very long, not even in A & E. I broke my arm on the pier when I was about ten, and my toe when I was about seventeen, but don't remember ever even having to queue here. It's an old hospital, with everything you'd expect from an old hospital; narrow corridors, lots of wood and Georgian style tiles. From an access point of view it's in the middle of Dun Laoghaire. The bus stops right in front of it. Parking may be a bit of a problem though, as there is no carpark worth talking about. I doubt it has a cafeteria, given the amount of restaurants in the immediate vicinity. If in doubt, Dunphy's across the road offers one of the finest pints in Dublin. There's also a weekend clinic if your GP is unavailable or you want a second opinion.

But having heard rather negative stories…read moreabout waiting times, I was nervous enough when my GP sent me for ECG and blood pressure tests. But I was very pleasantly surprised by St. Michaels. I walked there as I wasn't sure about the parking situation (and ended up never really investigating that further). The staff at reception was very friendly and helpful and there was basically no waiting time at all for my tests and again very friendly nurses and doctors that made me feel at ease. At a later point I went to the Outpatient Department for further tests and the same here. Friendly, well organised and competent. I felt very well looked after and everyone spoke to me in a language I could understand - bearing in mind English is not my mother tonque.
