    I'm relatively new to Galway and I'm looking for a decent GP in the city centre or around the NUIG or headford road. Any recommendations?

    I go to Dr. Carmel Bambury at 21 Sea Road (Accross the road from the Jez).

    I'm not sure of the name of the other doctor there, but they're both really nice.

    I have gone to the one on Eyre Square. Small green door across from Cuba/bar903, next to a bookie I think. Can't remember the name.

    I'll second that, very sound. Only reason i moved to another Docter is that he is the wrong side of the city for me.

    cheers

    My old family GP was out in Seacrest. Need to get my own now as the family one has is now in Tuam.

    i havnt seen a doc in about 13 years. apart from going to the hospital for a broken arm. didnt even see much of a doc then.

    "Get him an xray"
    "Get him a cast"

    That was basically the height of it

    Resurrecting this - any of these GPs operate outside regular hours e.g later some evening in the week or on a Saturday. Want to avoid taking time off work.

    Westdoc operate at weekends but they're not intended as a replacement for your regular gp apparently

    That's a bugger .. might have to time a lunch break around the opening hours of one of the GPs nearby so.

    Looks like I need to be registered with a GP first - I'm new to Galway, so I need to get 'on the books' first :).
