Very happy with my visit and the professionalism extended to me
Dr Buckley is an empathetic and knowledgable consultant who recently diagnosed and treated my recurring atrial fibulation with an ablation. Prior to, and during, the procedure I felt completely at ease with her and her freindly and capable team. Dr Buckleys patient-centred approach was so reassuring, I would highly reccomend her to anyone seeking a cardiac consultant.
I was seen to in time. A very friendly, cheerful and helpful secretary. Dr. Buckley explained the results of my tests and reassured me that all was well.
Una is a brilliant communicator and gets to the point and explains everything so well.
Dr. Buckley was very pleasant and easy to talk to and made me feel at ease. She explained everything about my ablation and took away my fears. I would highly recommend her for anyone who has to have a heart procedure done.
My experience was excellent, Dr Una explained my condition really well and I was very impressed.
I found Dr Buckley to be a very caring person with a very nice manner
I was very happy with my experience , with both Dr Ùna Buckley and her receptionist Deirde. Both booking the appointment and the consultation were very well organised. Dr Buckley has a very calming reassuring manner and was not rushed in any way. . I felt that she listened carefully and pondeed all my answers and wanted to make sure that I said all that was on my mind. She gave very clear advice.
I attended in relation to ablation for Atrial fibrillation, but it was considered unsafe in my case because of my COPD. Implantation of a pacemaker and later ablation of upper and lower nodes was recommended instead.
I was listened to and felt questions snd requests were taken very seriously …
