Health Check Dublin South

Such a gentle and understanding Doctor, Dr Sonja made me feel completely at ease and reassured me that I was being heard and not wasting anyone's time. I am so happy I chose to keep this appointment ( which I had been tempted to cancel as I really didn't want to create a fuss - surely it was just Menopause and there was nothing I could do about it!) I came away after the most thorough consultation I have ever had and much more reassured that there is an explanation for everything. I'm in a much happier place today. Thank you Dr Sonja.

Dr. Ismail is Allahamdulila so good doctor, he has always been able to help me with whatever issues I have had with my health, and he is so well-mannered. I have been attending to Dr. Ismail for more than 8years now, although I have my own Irish GP, I have to say that there is no doctor like him, and I just wish he could be not that busy, but I guess that happens when you are a good doctor. I would recommend him to anyone who struggling to find a good and caring doctor, without hesitation, he is the best.

My wife recently took seriously ill yet she didn't want to see a doctor. Kept saying she would feel better tomorrow. I phoned the receptionist, she could not have been nicer, so understanding, and organised for my wife to see the doctor ASAP. Greatly appreciated and put my mind at ease.

I have had difficulties with chronic fatigue since my teenage years. I was diagnosed with interstitial cystitis (IC) in my early twenties and later with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). I developed hormonal acne and started to experience hot flushes after my children were born, even though I am still only in my thirties. I started to experience chronic joint pain 18 months ago. My chronic fatigue was becoming particularly debilitating. I was taking medication on a daily basis for joint pain and my IC and IBS symptoms were worsening. I found that conventional medicine was unable to assist me. I was merely ‘existing’ for years; I was not ‘living’; I did not have anything that remotely resembled a decent quality of life. I researched doctors in Ireland who could assist with chronic fatigue and having read through the Drummartin Clinic website and reviews, I settled on Dr. Patrick Magovern. I was very thankful to find Dr. Magovern as I didn’t feel anyone else I researched would be able to help me. Being a health professional myself, I have an insight into how patients should be treated and I was very impressed with Dr. Magovern’s thoroughness, conscientiousness, his interest in my case and his knowledge and the level of CPD he has completed in the field of Functional Medicine. I was also impressed with his warm and caring disposition and his holistic approach to my treatment. I felt empowered after my consultations with Dr Magovern. He encouraged me to research Functional medicine and treatments and gave me a feeling of ownership over getting my health back on track while being guided by his expert advice regarding the treatments that I required. I also feel very well-cared for by the nurse in his practice and have never experienced anything like the level of interest she has taken in my case to ensure I get the best possible care. Within weeks of starting the new treatments, I noticed a significant improvement in all of my symptoms including my energy levels and my mood, which had become impacted by my poor quality of life. The speed and depth of the improvements were completely unexpected by my husband and I. I feel incredibly grateful to have finally found a professional who has the skills to help me to become well again and to live a full and meaningful life. I am also grateful for the warm and caring nature of all staff in the Clinic.
