It had been some time since I had seen Dr Dempsey in clinic as when I am well there is no need for me to attend. As always, Dr Dempsey was thorough in his assessment, listened to me in a very friendly, but professional manner and I am confident in the recommendations, with regards to my treatment, he made. The care I received was first class.

I HAVE BEEN DIGNOSED IDIOPATHIC PULMONARY FIBROSIS BY DR DEMPSEY, AND HIS CARE AND ATTENTION HAS BEEN FIRST CLASS. I FIND THAT HE IS VERY APPROACHABLE, AND EXPLAINS EVERYTHING TO ME CLEARLY. HE HAS EXPLAINED POSSIBLE SIDE EFFECTS FROM PIRFENIDONE WHICH I HAVE BEEN TAKING FOR FOUR MONTHS, AND ADVISED ME TO GO AND SEE MY GP SHOULD THE NEED ARISE HE IS A FIRST CLASS CONSULTANT, AND DESERVES THE HIGHEST PRAISE. HE TAKES TIME WITH ME, AND EXPLAINS HOW MY PROBLEM IS PROGRESSING. I CANNOT SPEAK TOO HIGHLY OF DR DEMPSEY

I visited with my Mum who has C.O.P.D and needs Oxygen 24 hrs per day. This was a follow up apointment after her being admitted to A.R.I in Jan 2015. Dr Dempsey was very friendly and asked Mum who I was and introduced himself to me. He explained and let us see her Jan scan and the new scan. He explained things in terms that we could understand and used minimal medical terms that probably we wouldn't understand. He went through the large list of pills and inhalers with Mum and asked her what they were for. But she knew them all. I felt that we could ask him anything. And we did. And he took time to answer the questions. We didn't feel (like many doctors) that he was rushing to get you out again. There is nothing more that the chest clinic can do for mum so there is no need for mum to attend every 6 mths now. So sadly we probably will not meet him again. Which is a shame. A very nice, friendly, kind man. You can tell he's a carer and not just there for a job. Thank you and a pleasure meeting you. Muriel Thomson & Coleen Forrest

Dr Dempsey was punctual, very welcoming and entirely professional. He explained everything very well and listened to my questions. His follow -up letter was full and informative as was his follow up care. I can wholeheartedly recommend him.
