Private Specialist Clinics in Co. Kildare: A Patient's Guide

← Back to Blog

For patients living in Co. Kildare, accessing private specialist medical care has traditionally meant travelling to Dublin — adding cost, time, and inconvenience to an already stressful situation. Naas Cardiology & Endocrinology Clinic offers consultant-led specialist services across cardiology, endocrinology, diabetes and thyroid disease, right in the heart of Kildare.

Why Choose a Private Specialist Clinic in Kildare?

There are several practical advantages to accessing specialist care locally rather than travelling to Dublin:

• Avoid Dublin travel — shorter journey from anywhere in Kildare, with free local parking and no city congestion
• Short waiting times — private specialist appointments are typically available within days to a few weeks, compared with public outpatient waiting lists that can run to many months
• Direct consultant access — all appointments at Naas Cardiology & Endocrinology Clinic are conducted by the named consultant, not a registrar or senior house officer
• Saturday or Sunday appointments — the clinic operates on Saturdays and Sundays, suiting working patients, parents, and those who prefer not to take leave for medical appointments
• GP clinic letter provided after every consultation — a detailed clinic letter is returned to your GP within 5–7 working days of each appointment, keeping your primary care record up to date

Dr Syed Kashif Hussain Kazmi, Consultant Endocrinologist (Cambridge-trained, IMC: 213626), leads endocrinology and diabetes services. Dr Kazmi holds specialist registration in both Ireland and the United Kingdom, and was previously a consultant endocrinologist in the NHS before establishing the Naas clinic.

GLP-1 receptor agonist therapies — including semaglutide (Ozempic, Wegovy) and tirzepatide (Mounjaro) — are prescribed by Dr Kazmi under full medical supervision. This is regulated medical prescribing following appropriate assessment, not unregulated online platforms.

Diabetes Specialist Services

• Hypothyroidism — including subclinical hypothyroidism, levothyroxine dose optimisation, and Hashimoto's thyroiditis
• Hyperthyroidism — including Graves' disease, toxic multinodular goitre, and thionamide management
• Thyroid nodules — assessment, ultrasound review, and biopsy planning where indicated
• Biochemistry interpretation — nuanced TSH, free T3, and free T4 interpretation, particularly in patients with symptoms despite "normal" TSH
