About the practice

This practice was started when Dr. Bart Curtis joined his predecessor Dr. Pax Sinnott in 1957 in Rocklands, Wexford. Dr. Bart moved to Waterloo Road and set up practice in St. Aidans in 1959. Dr. Felix Kerins joined him in 1973 and they moved into St. Joseph’s medical centre next door in Waterloo Road in 1977. Dr. David Curtis joined the practice in 1989 followed by Dr. Fiona Barry in 1996. The practice was joined by Dr. Brian McRedmond in 2009 and acquired the building next door to St. Josephs at the same time. The two buildings were joined together to create Sunnyside Medical Centre. Dr. Kes Finnegan and Dr. Aideen Moroney joined the practice in 2015.
