I informed my dentist (John) and his dental nurse (Kelly) that I was quite nervous and they were so accomodating and understanding, John explained everything he was going to do in a clear manner that had me feeling quite at ease. There were no sudden surprises. I was told that if at any time I was feeling uncomfortable they would stop what they were doing. It's been 10 hours since having the tooth removed and also having a much needed filling, the anasthetic has long worn off and I look forward to a full nights sleep without the need to take painkillers. Thank you Navan Dental. Steven McKenna (Clonmellon)

He helps people with all types of ailments from sports injuries to weight issues. He also has great results with infertility and ME patients as well as skin conditions. He also uses cupping for injuries and then offers Chinese herbal tablets to take for the next week or two. I think Dr Wu is really amazing. He has helped me with so many things and I would always recommend him to anybody. Each treatment takes about 40 minutes. There is pay and display parking out the front. He works monday to saturday, but ring to make an appointment before going. It'll be worth it!

Very impressed.

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.

I moved and started seeing Dr. Kieran Fulcher - he asked the simple question 'did anyone check your thyroid?'.

I consider myself lucky to be under his care and would recommend him highly.

Came across Aria Health through a Google search for dry needling. I emailed and got in touch with Stefano (Manassero) who is the clinic director. It was easy to get an appointment with him and all my emails were answered quickly. There's plenty free parking in the Applewood complex. The clinic is a little bit tricky to find-just a small door and then upstairs. Look out for the French bakery and cross the road to find it! I was taken in on time after filling out a little medical questionnaire. We discussed my problem and (multiple) previous injuries. He checked flexibility etc before starting and then set to work. He was chatty which helped with the (necessary) pain and I could definitely feel a difference by the time he's finished working. He then gave me a great back, neck and shoulder massage. I floated out.... Price was a pretty standard €60 that day, but it was worth it because it really did help. He also does dry needling and colonic hydrotherapy is also available...if you're so inclined!
