Manx Care is asking people to be patient if they're trying to contact a Douglas practice today.
On Facebook, the organisation says illness has led to a staff shortage at Hailwood Medical Practice.
It says that might affect routine appointments as well as response times.
It says if you can wait until another day to make contact, that would help - and you can call 642694 for more information.
