    I am with Dr Gerry O'Shea in Clounalour medical centre (Oakpark), but he's very hard to get an appointment with and I don't know if they are taking on new patients. I'm hearing that with a lot of surgeries in town, so I can really only advise ringing around a few. There are other doctors in Clounalour though, so maybe try them anyway.

    I've been with the same GP for a long time, so I am not sure who else to recommend.

    A further update on this thread.
    The family had a first visit to oakpark yesterday.
    Really nice staff and doctors were lovely.
    Even the practice owner came in to say hello.

    For our eastern European boardsies.
    There is a Polish doctor who also speaks Czech and as a result Slovak.

    My wife has hit gold!

    Keep in mind too that there is South Doc up in Collis Sands, which is the out of hours emergency doctor, should you require a doctor at night. You must ring them first though. Details on their website.

    The Collis Sandes building is not being used by South Doc !!! The building that they use was originally a family bungalow (built in 1978) on the right as you drive up the road toward the Collis Sandes building. The bungalow is now used by South Doc and the Irish Wheelchair Association.

    P.S.
    The Collis Sandes building was used as a Novitiate for many years after the british were thrown out of Ireland. After the nuns left it it was used by Teagasc for many years, after they left, it was purchased by a local man called Enda O'Brien (a grand nephew of Tom Crean) who rented a large part of it for many years to a Private Secondary School called Brookfield College. After they left it was turned into a kind of a meeting place for workshops etc.
