We want to give you the best quality service possible if you attend our clinic. As a practice we are always working to improve our services for patients. To provide the best possible service we need to know when things go wrong, or if we are not meeting your needs. Whilst we strive to offer an excellent service at all times, we recognise that, on occasion, things may go wrong. Everyone, whatever their business or profession, makes mistakes from time to time, and it is important to learn from these mistakes. We review every incident that comes to our attention, and aim to make appropriate changes where a lesson may be learned from what has happened – to avoid further similar problems in the future.
- You are not satisfied with the standard of service you have received
- You have not received a service you think you should have
- You feel that you have not been treated politely and with respect.
The quickest way to get a problem sorted out is by explaining it at the point of service.
If you have any concerns please discuss them with a member of staff at the time so we can try to resolve them immediately.
If you wish to put a complaint or a comment in writing please contact the Office Manager, Catherine Whiteside, at the clinic address or by email at officemanager@oakwoodmedical.ie
Unhappy with our service? We want to hear from you.

Stage 3 – If the matter has not been resolved satisfactorily by stage 2, we would then have the option to refer the complaint to our Medical Indemnity Advisor for further comment.
Stage 4 – Taking your complaint further : if you are not happy with the final response that you receive from us, you can request that the Medical Council investigate your complaint.
