Services

We are experienced in the management and diagnosis of a wide range of skin, hair and nail conditions.

We are fortunate in Elmwood to have the expertise of Dr Nuala O'Connor who has a special interest in skin disease. She is a member of the Irish Primary Care Dermatology Society and has a post graduate qualification in Dermatology form the University of Cardiff in Wales.

Unfortunately, Dr O'Connor is not in a position to see new patients but will see already existing patients of Elmwood if referred by another GP within Elmwood Medical Practice.
