Welcome to Cityview Medical

The Waterside Health Centre accommodates all the General Practitioners in the Waterside in 3 practices.  There is a spacious car park nearby and car parking in the surrounding streets.  The Centre also accommodates an equipped Treatment Room with Nurses in attendance.  We also have attached District Nurses and Health Visitors and close association with the local Social Services Office.

Cityview Medical offers family doctor services to registered patients within an 8-mile radius from the Health Centre, east of the River Foyle.

We hope you take your time to browse our website where you will find lots of useful information about the surgery and the services we offer.

The practice now has a new diverse multi disciplinary team.

He can diagnose your condition, offer advice and exercises to manage your condition, order tests, request x-ray, refer to another service if required and direct you to community based activities. Some patients can also self refer to access MUSCULOSKELETAL Physiotherapy service without the need for GP appointments.
