I love Dr. Kirbys relaxed yet professional manner. He always takes time to enquire after my wellbeing and explains everything in detail, I never feel rushed.
Excellent, Dr Kirby was very professional, listened to my concerns, gave clear explainations on condition and treatment plan. Assured me that he would be available prior to 6 month review if the need arose which is reassuring.

It was a pleasure to meet Dr Corby this morning. I had some questions, all the answers as well as further information explained so well. Thanks God for such a wonderful consultant.
Make a list of the questions you need to ask. So as you get the most out of your visit and saves the frustration of I should have or I forgot to ask him moments. My visit with Colm was great. Once again he sorted me out by putting a plan into place. I left In the knowledge that if I need to ask a question or need something clarified later on I could contact his secretary who was also so efficient and friendly and competent. Colm is a very thorough Dr I am delighted he is my rheumatologist and I am more than happy with him, because I need him badly. I left with a new appointment in hand but know if I need to return b4 the six month that is possible.
