General Practitioners in Wicklow Town

Westmount Clinic was founded in 1973 by Drs Vincent Pippet and Neil Golden (both recently retired). For over 20 years the centre of practice was a converted premises on Church Hill, and it was from this building “Westmount” that the practice took its name. In 1997 we moved to a purpose built premises, which has ample car parking, an adjacent pharmacy and dental practice.

Our mission is to provide up-to-date, affordable, high quality health care to our patients. The services we provide can address the health care needs of our patients from pre-natal to end of life care. Simply call us to arrange an appointment and we will be delighted to see you.
