1960's

Dr John Mason founded the practice in 1964 at this Johnstown Rd / Granitefield location after having trained and worked in Ireland, Canada and England. This medical centre was almost unique in Ireland as it was specially designed for a General Practice office. He had great expertise in Paediatrics and Maternity Care. Many adults still with us attending the Johnstown Medical Centre were delivered by Dr John. He also made a name for himself as a back doctor and orthopaedic medicine doctor. In addition, he delivered a hospital medical service to patients, in the local St. Gabriel’s Private and St. Michael’s Private Hospitals.
