Written Testimonials

Many thanks to Dr. Reynolds and all the team at Citygate Dental Clinic for my recent and successful dental surgery procedure. Their service was both professional and thorough, while delivered in a friendly and reassuring manner. I am extremely happy with the results and would strongly recommend their services. 

From the outset, striving for excellence is experienced at the clinic. This is combined with an informal but calm confidence that is likely to put an anxious service user at ease. Staff are friendly, warm and reassuring.

I attended for periodontal treatment throughout the covid pandemic. I had full confidence in the clinic infection control measures. This was combined with efficiency and accurate time keeping that must have been difficult to achieve under such altered working circumstances. The treatment measures were excellent. I can recommend this clinic highly for
this service. 

Having attended Citygate on at least 6 occasions since my initial assessment I can recommend their services. All staff are polite and professional , in particular Yvonne ( hygienist ) and Seamus ( prosthodontist ), who take the time to explain in detail each procedure as it evolves.

I was referred to City Gate Specialist Dental Clinic by my own dentist because of significant periodontal disease.

I went under the care of Dr Jennifer Kearney (Consultant) and Yvonne (Dental Hygienist) and was provided with a very professional, comprehensive, efficient, and pain-free treatment. I cannot speak highly enough of both Jennifer and Yvonne, but from Consultants through to Admin staff, you would be hard pressed to find a more reassuring, professional and friendly team.  

I attended Citygate Specialist Clinic late last year to have a gum graft procedure with Dr Jennifer Kearney. The whole setup is excellent, even in the current environment. The clinic is spotless, sanitized and temperature etc taken on entry. The staff are wonderful and very responsive, especially the dental nurses who explained procedure in detail, took the time to answer any questions I had and in general were just so incredibly friendly and kind. The procedure went off without a hitch... A few months later and it's still holding. The procedure itself only lasted 1 hour and Dr Kearney is skilled at what she does. Never in my life had I heard of a gum graft and to see what she was able to do with what she had to work with is unbelievable. Has saved my teeth from gum recession. Would def recommend.  

I was referred to Dr.Jennifer Kearney @ Citygate Specialist Dental Clinic by my own dentist late last year. I had ongoing issues with receding gums and bone loss. My first impression of Citygate was that of a modern, bright and professional clinic. The care I received from Dr. Kearney, the Dental nurses and Hygienists was 5 star without a doubt. I found Dr. Kearney to be very thorough and knowledgeable. I trusted her skill and advise from day one. The Dental nurses and the Hygienists were also professional, knowledgeable and caring. My experience from my first visit to the last was always positive. I’m grateful to Dr. Kearney & team for my care. I’m delighted with the results and would not hesitate to recommend City Specialist Dental Clinic to others.  

I was referred to Citygate Dental by my dentist for tooth extraction. I was very nervous but staff were so lovely and reassuring especially Dr Laura O Sullivan and Dee who were so nice to me and explained everything. I would highly recommend Citygate Dental.  

I began my journey with Citygate Specialist Dental Clinic in July 2019. I was never happy with my smile and also having a slight fear of the dentist. Seamus and Jennifer and all the staff made me feel relaxed and at home from my first visit. I required a lot of work from dental implants, to crowns and bridges. Everything went so well, so much so that I will miss my visits. My smile is now perfect. I am beaming all the time. Thanks again to all at Citygate Dental Clinic. I will look forward to my return visits.    

I attended Citygate Dental Clinic for a few months and was under the care of Dr Seamus Sharkey for his expertise in Prosthodontics. Whilst I was very nervous and self conscious at the start, these feelings were instantly allayed by Dr Seamus and his team. The standard of care was excellent and I am more than delighted to recommend this practice to anybody; Don't hesitate and make that appointment.  

I had an implant which has been a great success. It makes eating a lot easier and I can now smile without embarrassment. Staff could not be friendlier and there is an air of professionalism from the moment one walks in to the moment one leaves. You know you are getting the best treatment possible.  

Gum treatment and teeth cleaning. Very professional and friendly staff  

At Citygate Specialist Dental Clinic I received extensive reconstructive work on my two front teeth. This involved an extraction and bone graft, before I was fited with a temprary bridge. I was amazed with the results. I had spent so long in other dentist's chairs getting nowhere, and now after a short few sessions of treatment, my teeth were back to looking how they were before the accident. My treatment is far from complete but that's absolutely not an issue for me, as I've never felt as secure as I do during dental treatment with the highly professional staff.  

All staff were very professional and appointments were punctual. 

I was very happy with my visits to Citygate Dental. Jennifer was excellent in explaining everything to me and my procedure was a great success. I would highly recommend Jennifer and all the team at the clinic. 

Treated for gum disease. Customer care from all the staff - reception, hygienist and dentist was top notch - friendly and professional at all times. I was alsways anxious prior to every visit but was put at ease every time by staff. 

All of the staff in Citygate Specialist Dental Clinic put me at ease from the beginning. There is a keen attention to detail. The treatment is working and overall I have had a very positive experience and am happy with the results. 

Over the course of the past year, I have two implants installed with a bridge for third crown. All of this work was done very successfully with minimal discomfort to me. Thank-you to all the staff for their care and attention. I feel so secure that an excellent job was done. 

I was nervous arriving at the clinic. The dental nurses put me at ease and as soon as I met the dentists, I knew I was in safe hands. The quality of service is second to none. 

Periodontal treatment was great. My gums feel healthier and cleaner. I was always greeted by a smile from receptionists and all the staff, very helpful. Citygate is a 5 star service. I would recommend to anyone who wants healthier gums. 

Very happy with the standard of care. I had one of my front teeth replaced with an implant. Staff were always very helpful and able to work around my schedule, especially for appointments. I am delighted with the final product with very painless procedures, which included root removal. 

All staff members are very approachable and good to deal with. I like the fact that there is no waiting time and that you are taken in at your allotted time. 

All dentists here are great. I am very happy with the treatment I received. 

Thank you all for taking such good care of me this last year. I found you all truly professional and caring. I am thrilled with my implant! Even though once or twice I thought what have I brought on myself….I am thrilled with my diamond tooth. 

I was referred to Citygate Specialist Dental Clinic to get dental implants. I was nervous about the procedure but I met with Seamus Sharkey and Jennifer Kearney who informed me about implants and the procedure was less stressful afterwards. I have told friends of mine about this. I would recommend anyone thinking about dental implantns to go to Citygate Specialist Dental Clinic. 

I had 4 implants, 1 root canal and crowns. I am very nervous when it comes to visiting the dentist, but I was put at ease straight away by all. I only wish I had discovered this place a few years earlier. 

Great service by Jennifer and the team. As well as resolving my issue they always had great helpful and friendly advice. 

I was quite nervous when I was first referred to Dr Jennifer Kearney at Citygate Specialist Dental Clinic but from the first visit she immediately put my mind at rest. She explained everything she was doing and the results she expected to get. Things have really improved since then and I am so grateful. All staff have been friendly and pleasant. 

The whole experience is one of thorough professionalism where clear uncomplicated advice is given. All the staff that I had interaction with were friendly and helpful. I would have no hesitation in recommending this specialist dental clinic. 

I was referred to Citygate Specialist Dental Clinic by my dentist for periodontal therapy with Dr Jennifer Kearney. I received my treatment in 2017 and have been attending since for regular check-ups. As a nervous patient with sensitive teeth, everyone was very caring and put me at ease for the procedure. I am delighted with the results. Thank-you to everyone at Citygate. 

I had a tooth extraction plus a fitting for a possible bridge. Overall my experience has been positive with very little wait times. Staff were very pleasant and obliging. 

I needed an old front crown replaced while two other front teeth needed cosmetic work, all of which were preventing me from smiling. Seamus Sharkey and team did a great job from start to finish explaining when and what was to take place throughout the process. More importantly, he gave me the confidence to smile again. 

I was treated for gum disease and had a dental implant. The entire process was clearly outlined and a timeframe established. The work was carried out in a timely manner at scheduled intervals. The quality of the work was first class and is successful aesthetically and medically. I am very happy with the results. Changes to appointments were accommodated and staff were courteous and helpful at all times. 

From my first visit to Citygate Specialist Dental Clinic, I knew I had made the best choice of dentists to care for my needs. Having lost my teeth at a young age and enduring dentures for over 40 years, I wanted to have the most up to date dental care in a safe and professional environments. Seamus and Jennifer provided excellent care and my implants are perfect. Jezelle, Elaine and all at reception are always welcoming. 

I've been having treatment for gum disease fo the last last few months which resulted in a big improvement in my condition. The standard of care was excellend and the overall experiences was not too bad. 

I found all the staff extremely friendly and helpful. My gums were in very bad shaper and thanks to Jennifer and the girls I am now as good as it gets. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart. 

I received an implant to replace a denture I had since I was 7. I received excellent advice and care from Seamus and the team. I am really happy with the outcome and more than happy to recommend Citygate Dental 

Treatment Periodontal: I felt at ease the minute I entered the premises. The staff at reception, Elaine, Denise and Jezelle were extremely pleasant, and so helpful when arranging appointments. Jennifer was competent and put my mind at rest considering I have a mild "Dentist" phobia. Thanks to Sonya for her patience and kindness and also to Rebecca. The overall standared of care was faultless. 

I found the customer care I received at Citygate to be excellent. I had a bone graft and an upper front tooth implant which matched my other teeth perfectly. By having a bone graft it meant I had about 10 - 12 visits so it was very important to have this procedure carried out locally here in Cork. The post operation and ongoing aftercare is first class. I highly recommend Citygate 100% for implants. 

My six year old girl had a lot of dental work carried out as an outpatient in The Bon Secours Hospital for one day due to weak enamel. We both had an excellent experience. It was as if my daughter had nothing done. She had no pain or discomfort of any kind after her treatment. The standard of care was outstanding and the advice we received from Jennifer to take this approach was very much appreciated. My daughter has no memory of the work done, just the thrill of sitting in a big chair with lovely glasses on. 

  I was very pleased with my experience at Citygate. My treatments were very professional and I am delighted with the results. The follow-up and administration support to me was exemplary. I am very happy and have already recommended Citygate to family and friends. 

From my initial assessment through to completion of 3 implants, my whole experience was a pleasure! I needed a bone graft before anthing else could be done but although the process is quite long I never had a moment of pain. Everyone at the clinic was so kind and very professional which gave me great confidence. I would be happy to recommend Citygate to anyone comtemplating implants. 

Our daughter was immediately put at ease by Jennifer and Emma. She allowed them to examine her teeth and treat her. It was a very positive experience and she has no questions about visiting the dentist now. 

Citygate Dental: A long and painful year made short and painless.

That is my view on the time it took for my dental care. I had full teeth extractions and bone grafting along with implants over the last 12 months. From start to completion the level of care and attention was second to none.

My first visit I met both Dr Seamus Sharkey and Dr Jennifer Kearney. They both explained in detail the process I had ahead of me and the timescale, explaining in great detail my journey and the part they had to play in it.

The care and attention to detail throughout my treatment was always at the highest level. The follow up calls I received the next day after all visits was maintained throughout the treatment. Every member of the team in all departments gave me the same level of care and attention which is second to none.

Not once throughout the process had I any pain which most people cannot believe but this true and if I required any support or follow up visits I was given full and immediate service.

I looked into many dental treatment clinics prior to selecting Citygate Specialist Dental Clinic and without hesitation I made the correct choice. The professionalism and detail by the team, especially Dr Jennifer Kearney and Dr Seamus Sharkey, whom I had spent most of my time with after the initial treatment could not be experienced anwhere else in my opinion.

I wish to thank all at Citygate for an experience that I could only have wished for.

My wish came true, the final result of my journey has already made such an improvement to my self-confidence, it was worth the journey. 

My three year-old son recently had a crown, some fillings, fissure sealants and a flouride treatment performed by Dr Jennifer McCafferty at The Bon Secours. Harry's experience was incredibly positive and it has helped greatly with his dental phobia. His teeth are now protected agaisnt further decay and the maintenance can be done locally (in Limerick). Dr Jennifer could not have been nicer. 

We recently used your paediatric clinic and found it a very positive experience. The environment and staff ensured my son had only positive things to say afterwards. 

Our young boy was having some difficulty with dental visits but also with day to day good practice in terms of dental care. The sensitive and professional approach of the team at Citygate - most particularly Jennifer - has enabled resolution of all of his dental discomfort and has provided us with a good platform and excellent advice going forward. His nervousness and sensitivity have all but disappeared and he is more conscientious in respect of his own dental care. Many many thanks. 

My treatment involved tooth extractions, oral surgery and dental implants, spanning a period of 13 months. Dr Seamus Sharkey, Dr Micheal McAuliffe and Dr Jennifer Kearney made the journey pleasant, personal and pain free with the help of the wonderful nurses and delightful reception staff (great coffee!!). After years of hiding my smile I now beam with happiness and confidence in every photograph. Thank you to all at Citygate Specialist Dental Clinic. 

Fantastic child friendly experience with Dr Jennifer McCafferty. My son was a very nervous and anxious patient and is now nearly confident to see his own dentist. Very happy with clinic and it's staff. Overall would be very happy to continue to travel to Cork for his dental treatment if he neeeded to in the future. 

The service was very professional throughout. I was extremely happy with the end result. From a completely broken front tooth to one that now looks completely natural. The follow-ups were excellent as well. I would definitely recommend Dr Sharkey. 

Citygate Specialist Dental Clinic has a pleasant warm feeling from the moment you walk in the door. The staff are always very helpful and friendly. The surgery, especially the waiting room is such a welcoming and comforting environment for children. Dr Jennifer McCafferty, (Jenny), is the kindest, most patient dentist a child could ask for. She takes the time to explain everything to us and made our daughter feel like a princess. It is a 2.5 hour drive for us to visit Dr Jenny but well worth it. I would highly recommend. Thank you Dr Jenny and your team. 

I had a wisdom tooth removed by Dr McAuliffe 2 weeks ago. Overall, I must say it was such a positive experience. I would like to thank Dr McAuliffe and Katie for the care I received, for his kind and professional manner on the day of extraction and follow-up received. After 10 days, the soreness was gone completely and healing well. I would also like to thank Jezelle on reception for her help and such a friendly manner from the first contact with the clinic and on the day. I would highly recommend Citygate Dental. 

From the initial helpfulness of Jezelle when I rang to make my appointment to the day of my extraction I have to say the whole experience was excellent. The surgeon put me at ease and allayed any fears I may have had and his assistant took very good care of me. 

Our 4 year old was seen at Citygate very promptly for initial assessment and x-ray. A number of weeks later he was admitted to The Bon Secours Hospital, Cork for treatment under general anaesthesia. The following week he was back in Citygate for follow-up. The staff were extremely attentive to our son and professional and courteous to my wife and I. Overall, our experience was extremely positive. We were impressed by the high level of care our little man received. Many thanks to Dr Jennifer McCafferty and all at Citygate Specialist Dental Clinic. 

Our daughter had dental treatment carried out under general anaesthesia by Dr Jennifer McCafferty. We found her to be very professional and very pleasent with our daughter. It is a 2 and a half hour drive for us to visit Dr McCafferty with our daughter but well worth it for the care. We were very pleased with all aspects of care and treatment. 

A year ago I had a full set of dentures fitted. The treamtent I received from beginning to end was excellent. I had worn dentures for some 50 years and was quite aware of the discomfort of new dentures but to my pleasant suprise this experience was different. I experienced no discomfort or sore gums with the new dentures. I would have no hesiatation in recommending this type of treatment. I have received many compliments indeed including, "did I have a facelift"! 

My 4 year old daughter had dental treamtent carried out under general anaesthesia. I found that she was very at ease and not frightened at all. The dentist, Jennifer, was great and made the experience for both myself and my daughter a positive one and also the staff made the experience very positive too. 

On initial referral to Citygate Specialist Dental Clinic I was very nervous as my gums were very inflammed. However, I was met with calm reassurance and professionalism. Thank you for the kind care I have received. 

My son aged 5 years had treatment completed in February and April in Citygate Specialist Dental Clinic. He had 2 extractions and 2 crowns. We found the treatment to be excellent. 

My treatment involved bone grafting and 7 implants. From start to finish, it has been a very pleasant experience. Dr Jennifer Kearney and Dr Seamus Sharkey were so reassuring, friendly and professional on every occasion. Sincere thanks to you both and to Dr Micheal McAuliffe for IV sedation which was a big help for the bone graft procedure. A special thanks to the nurses and receptionists who regularly phoned after each procedure to check that I was okay. It meant so much. I am absolutely delighted with the final result and cannot speak highly enough of the excellent care I received at Citygate Specialist Dental Clinic. 

I attended Citygate Specialist Dental Clinic between August 2015 and April 2016 for implants and a chrome denture. From the start, my treatment plan was fully explained. Everyone on the team, receptionists, Patient Care Co-ordinator, dental nurses, Dr Jennifer Kearney and Dr Seamus Sharkey were friendly and professional. Attention to detail was exemplary, to ensure a perfect result. Appointments were on time, every time. Follow-up calls were always made on the day after visits to make sure there were no problems.

Ten out of ten, completely satisfied. 

I just had my last visit to the Clinic, after having a bone graft and implant done. I can't say enough about the great team that work there. No ask was too big or too small and everything was explained fully. Eilis, knowing I was an extremely nervous patient, went to no end to make me feel relaxed and reassured. I was given pain relief after each procedure and a follow-up call to check on my recovery. Seamus was also very kind to me; he took great care to make sure my final implant was amazing. He is a perfectionist. I would like to thank you all for a top class service. 

As parents who grew up with a fear of dentists, it was with both shock and guilt that we realised our 7 year old required extensive treatment, including multiple extractions, stainless steel crowns and a general anaesthetic. In hindsight, it can only be described as a positive experience, given the wonderful treatment, care received and a plan going forward. We are now the parents of a much happier and healthier little boy, who loves going to the dentist! What is the secret? Staff who are totally child-centred and have advanced knowledge regarding procedures and expectations. Fear or pain were never actually an issue! Many many thanks. 

In 2015, I decided to get dental implants. I found the staff to be very helpful - they gave me lots of advice before ginning and looked after throughout the time of treatment. I would recommend. 

Daniel had three extractions, fillings and sealants. Treatment was good with a happy patient. Staff were fantastic and overall it was a good experience. The most important thing is that he is happy to come back, if he needs to, in the future. Thanks so much. 

Having just completed my treatment of having a bridge fitted, I am totally delighted with the result and have
