Book an Appointment


Appointments can be booked online through Pippo or by calling the practice (appointments should not be booked through email).

Online booking for appointments continues to be available for our patients. We now offer this facility through Pippo (a smart-phone App downloaded for iPhones here and Android devices here, or at www.pippo.ie). This is the new national online booking system which has been developed to integrate with your medical record on system- we are the first practice to launch this system for our patients.

Step 1: Download the App or go to the Pippo website.
Step 2: Register on the App as a patient of our practice - this will only be available for existing patients.
Please note:
- Both medical cards and doctor visit cards (e.g. Under-6 or Over-70 card) are both referred to as ‘GMS’.
- Your first name, surname, DOB and mobile phone must exactly match the information we have on your file.
- If the registation is declined, it is likely our system has a slightly different first name, surname, DOB or mobile on your file (e.g. O’Connell Vs O Connell). You can email info@eldonfamilypractice.ie with each of these details and you can re-try the registration process. Thank you for your patience.
Step 3: Use the App or Pippo-website to book an appointment.
