I have seen Mr Donnelly on 3 or 4 occasions. You immediately feel at ease with him and his medical explanations are clear and easy to understand. I feel the most important thing in a doctor/patient relationship is trust and he’s gained mine in the relatively short time I’ve known him.

Mr Donnelly has seen my elderly father upon 3 occasions now. It has given us all such reassurance to finally receive a proper diagnosis of Menieres Disease and to have a subsequent treatment plan going forwards. Mr. Donnelly’s ability to listen and explain matters is second to none. He is a credit to his profession.
