Very happy with the procedure Staff very nice Good feedback Good set up at the clinic and not waiting long for procedure All good
I had Sculptra treatment with Mr O’Rourke in January 25. From initial consultation he was warm, engaging and interested. He explained the procedure, listened to any concerns and gave me full confidence moving forward. The procedure itself was pain free and over before I knew it. The results are outstanding and I couldn’t be happier. No make up days are a regular option now. A mix between Mr O’Rourke skilled hands and Sculptra has given me a new lease of confidence.
Mr O’Rourke was both professional and kind, an excellent experience.
I had experienced constant watering in one eye for over a year and nothing helped. My work, social interactions, driving., and ability to read were very badly affected. After a few consultations and initial treatments, Mr O'Rourke performed a day DCR surgery on 19th December 2024 in Blackrock Clinic to restore the function of my lacrimal system. I experienced no pain afterwards, had a very speedy recovery, and my eye has not watered since. It is amazing not to have to make excuses for a constantly watering eye, to be able to work and read with confidence and to be rid of a red, inflamed eye. Extremely grateful for Mr O'Rourke's professionalism and expertise.
I felt very reassured by his explanation. And the surgery went perfectly. I’m very happy with the outcome.
Absolute gentleman, was very kind to my mum and took his time explaining everything to her.
Even though the initial local numbing was sore dr o ‘Rouke explained that it would be sore so I was a little prepared
I found Mr o Rourke very professional, informative and efficient. He kept me well informed and involved throughout my procedure
From the first consultation everything was explained in detail and simplified so I could easily understand ,at the procedure itself,everyone was kind and reassuring, I knew I was in good hands,I am so happy with the results and am thankful for Mr Michael O Rourke and his expertise.
