Instead of going to Eston Grange and Resolution Health Centre patients are advised to call 111.
Anyone wanting to see a doctor out-of-hours should call their GP Surgery to make an appointment at one of the new extended hours centres, including Redcar.
Other extended hours centres can be found in East Cleveland Hospital in Brotton, North Ormesby Health Village and the One Life Centre in Linthorpe.
