Under 6 GP Card Health Services in Ashbourne, Co. Meath

Details

We are accepting patients on the Under 6 scheme.

Please be aware that this only entitles the patient to the GP consultation and does not include medications, prescriptions, etc.

Our routine clinic times for medical card patients is Monday – Friday from 9am until 5pm (last appointment is 4.30pm). This is for patients registered with RocDoc only. Routine matters will not be dealt with outside of these times. Please do not be offended if we cannot offer an appointment and we ask that you contact us first to see appointment availability.

As a medical card patient we can only see patients registered with RocDoc for routine matters as part of this clinic in hours, very strict regulations apply for patients not registered with RocDoc and / or Out of Hours matters to be seen.

At time of making your appointment you should notify reception that the child is a medical card holder in order for the card to be validated online and we always suggest that you carry their GMS card with you or at least know the number. We need to validate the details to ensure that the card is still valid and they are still registered with RocDoc. Should we be unable to validate the details then the adult attending may be liable to treatments as a private patient and RocDoc can not reimburse patients afterwards if we could not validate details and / or later qualify for a scheme.

The facility at the Shannon Airport absolutely wonderful! I was a late walk since I and had just landed . I wanted to get the test done before my early next day departure. Nothing on my phone worked the way I wanted, but the 3 lady’s T,L, and L ( first letter of each their first name) walked me through the process! They even left little after official closing, to make sure I had the results.
They went way above and beyond their responsibilities!
Thank you , Thank you!

Testing Center, took us in almost 2 hours earlier than our scheduled time which we were really grateful for. Otherwise we would’ve missed our flight. We got our test results in about 10 minutes! Very smooth easy transaction.

My wife and I arrived in Dublin in the evening and we had an afternoon flight to the United States the next day. I was having difficulty finding a testing center that would provide express return results for Covid. I finally found RocDoc and set up an appointment for the next morning for us both. The team was very friendly and efficient, we both had our tests done in 10 minutes and we had the results back in about an hour. A worker even called a taxi for us. They were great and helped in a stressful situation.

Excellent service from start to finish. They saw me super quickly. I had booked the wrong test but they kindly explained to me how to fix it and helped me through it. Seen super quickly. All of the staff were very polite and the rest didn’t hurt a bit (first time ever that it didn’t hurt me). Really nice. Then I couldn’t access my document but within a minute Makiesse in the chat sorted it out and sent it to me. I’m so happy from start to finish. Quick, clean, kind staff and competent. Some of the reviews here had worried me but I wanted to say that I’m glad I used them and will use them again. Thank you all.

The two lads that helped me were incredible (at check in and doing the test). The results were faster than I could have imagined. It was a little more expensive than I would have hoped, but I would pay double knowing what I know now.

I needed help to apply credits to test bookings at Cork airport for myself and my family. Kim, the customer service agent, was extremely efficient and walked me through the process promptly. When I made an error in the booking, they were quick to correct it and were polite and patient throughout. Highly recommend both the test service and their client support.
