Emma 

“I can see Dr Brid or Dr Kevin at Medics Direct NI whenever it fits my schedule. Both doctors are incredibly caring and quickly address my health concerns. With the challenges of getting appointments through the NHS, it is reassuring to have a local medical service readily available. I use Medics Direct NI for acute issues which are addressed without delay.  This service offers valuable insights into my health and identifies areas that can be improved.”

Anne

“I wanted to address the fine lines starting to appear on my face and treat myself to a bit of pampering for a fresher, more youthful look. Dr Brid Allen at Medics Direct NI offered Microneedling and Botox, and now I feel rejuvenated with a wonderful new perspective on life. As well as being pain-free this procedure has made me feel more self-confident and I feel much more inclined to socialise.”

Nicola 

“Medics Direct NI provided a wonderfully relaxed atmosphere, smooth process and were so welcoming, I would even liken it to doing coffee with a friend! The blood testing provided at Medics Direct NI, not only gave me the results, they also provide me with a plan to address any issues.  As they say, prevention is better than cure.”

Michael 

“Your health is your greatest asset, and it’s often not truly valued until it’s compromised.  As a self-employed individual with a family to care for, maintaining my health is essential.  I am so thankful to Dr Brid that I had the opportunity to visit Medics Direct NI for a comprehensive blood test. It was incredibly reassuring to understand my health status.”

Shauna 

“I take walking holidays every year, and last year was especially challenging due to severe joint pain in my knee.   Dr Kevin at Medics Direct NI offered me a steroid injection helping me regain my passion for walking and stay pain-free. Initially I was nervous about the procedure but the doctor made it quick and easy with a successful result.  The team was incredibly friendly and reassuring, and now I’ve booked a two week holiday this year, which I am really looking forward to. “

Liam 

“We service our cars every year, so why not our bodies? The first step in improving physical and mental health is obtaining a comprehensive understanding of your body, like the blood testing provided by Dr Brid and Dr Kevin at Medics Direct NI. The blood testing is a great insight to your own health, and to determine areas for improvement in order to obtain optimal health. Your health is your wealth!”

James

“As a young, healthy adult with no problems, I went along to get bloods and heart trace done as I never had a test with my GP ever. I was curious to see what my health was like (beneath the surface). After once consultation, I found a few issues that Dr Allen and I  can manage and prevent future ailments from manifesting later in life. Definitely worth recommending to friends and family”
