About us
Claddagh Surgery is conveniently located on Ballyfermot Road, beside Cherry Orchard Hospital, across from Lidl, and there is parking for almost 100 cars.
There are four GPs, Drs. Alan Barry, Lisa Mc Grath, Catriona Ó Catháin and Colm Ó Sé as well as a Registrar in General Practice Dr. Claire Keaveney and Practice Nurses Margaret Quigley and Shona Mulvaney. We are affiliated to UCD and TCD for undergraduate training; and to two training schemes for professional training in General Practice (HSE Dublin Mid-Leinster, and North Dublin City General Practice Training Schemes).
Being a member of the Primary Care Team facilitates access for our patients to other health services such as Public Health Nursing, Physiotherapy, Occupational Therapy, and Dietetics, allowing most of your medical care to be provided here in the community.
