About Dr. Una Buckley

Dr. Una Buckley is a skilled cardiologist with specialised training in cardiac electrophysiology, particularly focused on patients with arrhythmias. She trained in Ireland, the USA at University of Los Angeles California, and in London at Guys and St Thomas' Foundation Trust.

Dr. Buckley's extensive training includes cardiac electrophysiology fellowships at prestigious institutions such as the University of Los Angeles California and Guys & St Thomas' Hospital in London.

The whole experience was excellent from the minute I walked in, Deirdre is so nice and calm and explained everything. Una was friendly and took time to reassure me about what the next steps would be, I was very concerned as I was left with many questions from a visit I had in that week with another consultant. Thank you so much to

I was in with Dr Una as a precaution after experiencing some symptoms relating to extreme stress & heat. I found her very easy to talk to and very reassuring and as I’m planning a long haul trip shortly it was good to talk to her and find I’m perfectly good to go. I’d highly recommend Una for her knowledge and professionalism and highly recommend her.

I had ecg and echo first. Reception confusing as I didn’t see take-a-ticket sign. Reception staff unfriendly there, pleasant at consultant suite. Clinical staff brisk and not explaining much, including consultation. Overall experience efficient but unsatisfying.

Thank you for your feedback. I am sorry that your experience did not meet the standard I would want for my patients. While I am pleased your assessment was completed efficiently, I am sorry that the reception process was unclear and that you felt interactions with staff were rushed and lacking in explanation. If there is anything discussed during your tests or consultation that remains unclear, please do get in touch and I would be happy to clarify any questions or concerns. Thank you again for taking the time to share your experience.
