Adrian Stewart is absolutely excellent. If you need an endodontist, look no further! My wife Lorena couldn't find anyone able to do her root canal procedure in the republic (properly) and we luckily found Adrian in South Down Clinic... Can't recommend highly enough! James Hargrave

I got my wisdom tooth remove a few days ago. From start to finish the whole experience was brilliant. I was very nervous but the 2 ladies I had were great at the chat for distracting me. Injection painless nd extraction was tense but was over and out the with in 20 mins. Thank you for making my experience calm. Aisling C
