Ballsbridge Medical Centre

"I recently had a terrible experience with Dr. Stafford, and I feel compelled to share my thoughts so that others may be spared from the same unpleasantness. From the moment I entered the office, Dr. Stafford was dismissive and condescending towards me. She barely looked up from her computer screen as she asked me questions about my symptoms, interrupting me every time I tried to speak. When I attempted to clarify something she said, she responded with a rude and sarcastic remark. Throughout the appointment, Dr. Stafford seemed more interested in getting through her patient load quickly than in providing thoughtful and compassionate care. She spoke to me in a way that made it clear she didn't care about my wellbeing, and it was clear that her main priority was getting me out of her office as quickly as possible, whilst charging me the highest fee. Additionally, I underwent a minor surgery in her clinic and have now come to find that she completed it incorrectly and I am now seeking medical care to fix this. Now that I am studying in the medical field I have come to realise her malpractice. The experience with Dr. Stafford left me feeling frustrated, unheard, and disrespected. I would not recommend her to anyone seeking a doctor who values their patients or treats them with kindness and respect. Save yourself the hassle and look elsewhere for medical care."

"Had the exact same experience as the other poor reviews here, wish I read them before going to Dr Stafford. Was made feel completely uncomfortable from entering the surgery. The consultation room was unorganised and untidy. She insisted on doing a pregnancy test even though it had no relevance to my visit. She took more than one phone call during the consultation as she has no receptionist. I have a GP visit card and she told me “She cannot process it” and shoved her card machine in my direction, proceeding to charge me €75. Robbed of my money and my dignity during this consultation AVOID!!! Side note she told me she doesn’t prescribe ibuprofen which is completely unnerving and unprofessional"

"Great Service! I had been to the Doctor several times and even sometimes with very short notice. Must recommended GP and really good service."

"Best GP in Ireland especially for pregnant women. Was very organized and guided me in my 1st pregnancy. I was totally lost in my 2nd pregnancy with another GP. Also very professional with baby vaccination"

"There is no waiting room so expect to wait in the street if you are early; even for a simple GP registration. There is no bench in front of it and yhe person is inconsiderate and rude."
