Mater Private Hospital Recensioni 

I was referred to Fergal O'Duffy by my GP to carry out a more detailed examination on my throat. I am by my nature quite a nervous patient but Fergal put me at ease straightaway, made an instant diagnosis and resolved the issue there and then, with minimal fuss and maximum professionalism.

Fergal's receptionist Rachel couldn't have been nicer either, in arranging my appointment and assisting me when I arrived.

Terrible accommodation - any public hospital would have better accommodation and catering. Only reason we went with elderly parents was because they see Mater Private consultants privately for regular check ups. Stayed 3 nights and despite their attempts to keep them longer - we said get better quicker at home / dreading if we need to go back

Attended Mater Private recently as a Day Patient for a Procedure. Would like to thank and compliment the staff who looked after me. All were most helpful and friendly.

Booked in for MRI by consultant. Arrived on time. Booked in. Still waiting an hour after my time and looking at re-scheduling.

If there had been information earlier in the day that there was a change in time, or even on arrival it would be helpful.

I will use Adfidea in the future as I have never had an issue there.

I was in the mater private for 3 nights.I go in twice a year My consultant is very good will listen to you want to say. The nurses who give me my infusion I couldn't say enough about her they care for you .
This time I was in a 4 bed room.
the whole place needs updating I couldn't have a shower the curtains needs to be changed at least once a week.
The window blinds are dirty and needs to be replaced.I think you get the message from this because it's about housekeeping.Now there is not enough staff to give good care to people.Last night there was 1 nurse on a lady asked for pain meds it was 2 hours before she got them
For once I didn't hear anything it was this morning both ladies were awake during the night and very upset and I can understand why..Now you would need to pull your socks up .

Went in for an emergency examination after being ill for 2 months. Was told at the reception that daily payment fees were capped at €750 a day. Payed the usual €275 to speak with a consultant, who prescribed antibiotics, an anti inflammatory tablet and canestan cream. I could have received all of the above from my GP, without the what I already thought was a hefty fee. My illness continues to worsen now as this was not a solution to my severe bladder issues (not an infection). Then to my surprise, 2 weeks ago a bill of €900 with a minus €400 charge arrived in the mail, "breaking down the costs of the services". The bill could have never been €900 to begin with as they are capped at €750. They "generously" included a €101 ED discount. So broken down, that's nearly €600 for a bladder ultrasound, some IV paracetamol, a simple blood test (not an extensive panel) and a urine sample. All of these services can be provided at a public hospital ED for cheaper/free. The basic urine test alone was €70, but it was given a "sophisticated" sounding title in a poor attempt to justify it's pricing. Do not be fooled, this is the same dipstick test that can be provided by your GP!
Positives:The nurses and doctors are polite and friendly, and instead of a 20 hour wait time in the ER, like in a public hospital, it will be maybe 6 hours of sitting around. The orthopaedic chairs are definitely a lot more comfortable than the hard and broken ones of a public waiting room, that will have people leaving before they are even tended to!

I attended the Radiology Department in the Mater Private Dublin yesterday with a referral letter.
I arrived at 9am. I used a machine to register and it gave me a 15 minute wait time. 45 minutes later and no sign of me being any closer to getting the x-ray, I went to the lady at the desk and told her I had an appointment with my consultant 5 minutes later. She said she'd get me in straight away..... 15 minutes later I had enough. I missed my consultant appointment and still don't have an x-ray. Interestingly I was at the mater public with someone else the day before also for an x-ray and they were seen in 5 minutes. Disgrace! and you pay extra for this treatment.

Google/HSE Review for Mater Hospital Cork – Women’s Health

I recently visited the Mater Hospital Cork for a pre-surgery blood test and had a mixed experience. I want to give special thanks to Marie Murphy, a nurse in the Women’s Health department, who was absolutely amazing. I have a strong fear of needles, and she showed incredible kindness, patience, and understanding. She took the time to help me feel calm and went out of her way to make the process as comfortable as possible.

Unfortunately, I also encountered two other staff members who were not supportive and made me feel judged, which only increased my anxiety. That part was disappointing.

Still, I’m very grateful to Marie for truly saving the day — she’s a credit to the hospital and made a difficult experience much easier.

If I could give no stars I would, spent seven hours in dublin mater private a&e before finally seen a doctor, waiting tines worse than public hospital next door and charged a crazy fee for worse than bad service. Take my advice go anywhere else but mater private hospital a&e

I would like to take this opportunitu to thank Mr Karuppiah Mahalingam and his team for the successful bunion surgery. I would like to thank all the dear and harworking nurses and support staff who prepared me for surgery and who took care of me day and night. I would also like to thank the dear psysiotherapists who taught me how to use crutches and what exercises to do at home.I hope that my review will be an encouragement to everyone and bring a smille back to their faces.

I’ve been attending mater private oncology since 2021. I love it there. I’ve never had any massive wait times. My oncologist and nursing staff are amazing. It’s lovey to see the same lovely friendly familiar faces. They know me and I know them. It’s a very reassuring feeling, when you are vulnerable.
My only negative I have is phlebotomy closes around 4. So on the rare occasions if you have a late appointment you have to wait around. But that’s my only downside.
I’ve also had numerous surgeries over the last 4 years also. The nurses are fab and the porters are gas. They wheel you around for scans etc. But they’re a breath of fresh air. And always in good form. I can honestly say I have never had a bad experience. Be it oncology, radiology or the wards themselves. And the food is excellent. I’ve always had help with my bags upon leaving. So helpful.

Would like to thank Dr Roy & all the nurses & carers especially Caroline & Bernie (2 angels) for the wonderful care & kindness I received when I was there I will never forget it ! Truly brilliant staff 💕

I went to Haemotology appointment . I paid 330€ for nothing. Was checked same as any gp would do but 10 times more paid for it. Been told I need to do 10 different check in hospital where I might need to pay around 2000€ minimum . When I left appointment I nearly start crying over handling to them 330€ for nothing done towards my issues. I lit could’ve just went gp, lit have no idea why my gp referred me to a person who did not do anything but I paid my weekly salary to them to tell me that I need checks . How is this acceptable? I am in shock from all of this.!!!!

Shocked about that this is a private hospital. Waited over 6 hours to be attended to my appointment scheduled previously. Nurses don't react if you express pain after an operation, which I had heavily. Nurse Tashara was the worst, came sneezing into my room frequently and right after I had my surgery, I couldn't believe my experience and would not at all recommend this hospital. Just horrible and should be closed rather, showing the very low infrastructural standards in the capital city of Ireland among system-critical institutions. At least the operating surgeon made an okay impression, I hope everything heals fine and I won't have issues anymore. Planned physiotherapy wasn't discussed at any point, no plan proposed, customers are left completely alone to themselves, nobody seems to care there about your wellbeing and/ or health.

Receptionists should just be replaced with Optimus robots already.

Patient arrive 11:50 in the morning, and had not be seem by a doctor 9pm, also nobody know when patient will be seem. How can a unwell person been left over 9 hours without any idea how long more it need to wait. How patients suppose to wait feeling unwell for over 9 hours in a crowded and hard chairs very uncomfortable for long hours waiting?, nobody know when you will be see by a doctor, while patients is there expose to other illness as crowded of patients seat near each other for more then 9hours. staff seems stressed and busy. worse experience.

I was admitted to the Mater Private Cork on Monday 14th October 2024. I was admitted through urgent cardiac care section of the hospital from my very first communication requesting an urgent appointment to now Wednesday 16th my experience both medically and personally has been absolutely top class. I am under the care of Dr Pauriah through his professionalism and expertise in his specific area of electrophisiology I have been diagnosed and successfully treated. It was very obvious to me that Dr Pauriah has a true passion for his work I feel very fortunate to be under his medical care every staff member treated me with utmost respect and care and they carried out their respective roles in a very professional competent yet very pleasant manner. Well done Mater Private Cork Anne O Dwyer

Urgent Cardiac Care, they need to remove the word urgent. Sat with my husband with serious chest pains for over 7 hours waiting to be seen?? Paid €300 for the privilege too, that would be fine if the care was good. One Cardiologist for the whole hospital!! Madness.

Brought my partner to this hospital presenting with dizziness and upset stomach over 24 hours.
The reception staff explained all the fees, drawdown and insurance claim process very clearly. With the administration out of the way the triage nurse was friendly and efficient - put my partner at ease and gave reassurance. The doctor was equally thorough and conducted a number of tests and arranged appropriate scans. She then shared the results and had the duty consultant consider all the results. My partner stayed overnight and apart from a sleepless night from traffic noises, felt so much better knowing she had been thoroughly examined and observed overnight.
Everything considered we were thankful for the quality of knowledge of the staff and their humane manner.
Big thanks to all involved 🙏

Very professional staff who are patient focused.
I attended for a day procedure, and was dealt with in a courteous, professional, and prompt manner. 
The only negative is the centralised check-in procedure where the administration is slow and understaffed.
