Our values
We deal with all aspects of health care in all age groups. We encourage preventative medicine i.e. the detection of illness at an early stage before symptoms develop and advice regarding life style to prevent disease at all. We are attempting to provide the best service to you. We would value comment and suggestions on how to improve things.

Medical Certificates
Requests for Social Welfare and Private medical certificates can be made by calling the surgery or by emailing your request to info@dchc.ie. It would be helpful if we had at least 48hrs notice to prepare these. Please note that we are only able to issue medical certificates based on information that is held in your records. Ordinarily you would have to be seen by one of the practice doctors for certificates to be completed.We need to know: dates of ill health, the nature of the illness and your PPS number. There is a fee for issuing private medical certificates.
