Coolock Health Centre doctors

Three separate GP practices operate within Coolock Primary Care Centre, giving patients a choice of family doctors within the same building.

List of GPs

Individual doctor rosters change over time, but the confirmed practice locations are:

• Cromcastle General Practice — An HSE department fully embedded within Coolock PCC. The practice is listed as serving patients at the Cromcastle Road site (HSE.ie).
• Trinity Medical — A private GP practice operating alongside HSE services within the PCC. Appointments are required for all consultations. The practice is open Monday–Friday with a lunch break from 1pm to 2pm (Trinity Medical).
• Coolock Family Practice — A family-focused GP service providing “comprehensive, compassionate, and convenient healthcare for families and individuals of all ages” according to their website. Extended lunch closure from 1pm to 3pm (Coolock Family Practice).

Specialist doctors

Beyond standard GP services, Coolock PCC hosts or connects to specialist clinical staff:

• Northdoc (Rosemary Gillan) — An out-of-hours GP based at the Coolock Health Centre. Rosemary Gillan is listed on Northdoc.ie as providing after-hours care at this location (Northdoc.ie). This is not a daytime GP service — it covers evenings, nights, and weekends only.
• Occupational Therapy — Listed as an on-site service through the HSE.
• Physiotherapy — Available at the centre for referred patients.
• Dentistry — A dedicated dental service exists at the centre (see dentist section below).

Coolock Health Centre opening hours

Core centre hours are published by the HSE, but individual practices within Coolock PCC set their own schedules — and they differ meaningfully.

Standard hours

The published centre hours for Coolock Primary Care Centre are Monday to Friday, 9am–1pm and 2pm–5pm (HSE.ie). The centre is closed on weekends and public holidays.

Variations by service

Two key variations to note:

• Trinity Medical: 9am–5pm Monday–Friday, closed lunch 1pm–2pm. Requires appointments for all visits (Trinity Medical).
• Coolock Family Practice: 9am–5pm Monday–Friday, closed lunch 1pm–3pm — a two-hour break versus Trinity’s one-hour closure (Coolock Family Practice).

The difference matters if you’re planning a visit: calling Coolock Family Practice just before 1pm risks hitting their extended lunch closure, while Trinity Medical reopens at 2pm.

Public holiday closures apply to the centre as a whole and are listed on HSE.ie. Upcoming confirmed closures include New Year’s Day 2025 and St. Stephen’s Day (HSE.ie).

Coolock primary care centre email

Direct email contacts for Coolock PCC are limited to specific services rather than a general inbox.

General email

The HSE does not publish a general email address for Coolock Primary Care Centre itself. For most non-urgent enquiries, calling the main number (01 921 4200) or contacting your GP practice directly is recommended.

Practice emails

Individual practice websites do not prominently list email contacts in publicly available information. For confirmed email addresses:

• Stop Smoking Service: hwb.dncc@hse.ie — confirmed by the HSE as the contact for the Coolock PCC Stop Smoking programme (HSE.ie).
• Cromcastle GP, Trinity Medical, Coolock Family Practice: Check their individual websites at Cromcastle GP, Trinity Medical, and Coolock Family Practice for any online contact forms or published email addresses.

Coolock health Centre dentist

Dentistry is listed as an on-site service at Coolock Primary Care Centre, though specific dentist names and appointment booking methods require direct contact with the service.

Dentistry services

Dentistry is included in the service directory for Coolock PCC as published on HSE.ie. The centre hosts a dental unit that serves patients referred from GP practices within the network.

• Access to dental services typically requires a GP referral in the first instance, though specific eligibility criteria should be confirmed directly with the dental unit.
• Dental services are part of the broader primary care offering at Coolock, alongside physiotherapy, occupational therapy, and GP services.

Dentist contacts

The HSE does not list a direct phone number or email for the dental unit in publicly available information. To book a dental appointment:

• Contact your Coolock PCC GP first to request a dental referral — the GP can advise on eligibility and the referral process.
• Alternatively, Trinity Medical and Coolock Family Practice may have their own dental referral pathways — ask at your next appointment.

Patients who need dental care should expect to obtain a GP referral first, then call the main switchboard to be connected to the dental department once referred.

The following table summarises all confirmed phone contacts across the centre’s services.

Having all practice numbers in one place makes it easier to avoid the wrong lunch-hour closure and reach the right provider on the first call.

Frequently asked questions
