    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.

    Luckily I don't really have any experince with hospitals. 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.

Saw a triage nurse within 15 minutes. No follow up care since. No query as to my symptoms worsening or improving. Hospital Nurses and Dr amazing but the emergency department is no longer fit for purpose. Its too small, over crowded and cramped. People on trolleys packed in like sardines. Dr and nurses constantly shuffling trolleys jus to make contact and get to side of a patient to examine them. People in A&E tying up beds in A&E because they cant be admitted to wards, during the night. Knock on effect. A&E staff have no space to work with patients out in waiting rooms Also think the computer system is inadequate and outdated. Im witnessing to many Dr spending far too much time sitting at computers instead of carrying out primary care function. Whichvis seeing and evaluating patients. Bring a sleeping bag, pillow, phone charger, food and water with you. So you can lie down on floor while you wait. It will be more vomfotable than chairs provided and some seating is outdoors in a tent that was temporarily erected to deal with covid but is now in everyday use.

STAY AWAY from him.

    I recently had a mole on my leg that my dermatologist recommende…read mored removing for biopsy. I was a bit apprehensive because I had previously undergone a similar procedure on my back for a very small mole, which left a noticeable scar despite only requiring three stitches. This time, the mole on my leg was also very small, so I was hoping for a careful and minimally invasive procedure. However, while filling out the pre-procedure form, the nurse assisting me confused "left" with "right" and mentioned she was very tired at that point in the day. I remember thinking I hoped she would not be the one performing the procedure -- but she was. The result was disappointing: such a tiny mole ended up leaving a scar that required four stitches that looked more like veterinary stitches, or when you mend clothes, very poorly done.I I even consulted my GP to ask if the stitches could be redone for a better cosmetic outcome, but was advised against it. Now I am left with large, unattractive stitches which will leave a scar. Beyond the technical aspect, I also found the overall attitude and communication lacking empathy and professionalism. Unfortunately, this experience left me with the certainty that I will not return to this dermatology department for any further procedures. It is a pity, as patient care and compassion are just as important as medical treatment.
