Staff said they did not report Tuesday's theft to police but urged thieves to return the masks.
"We need them to protect staff and remain open," its statement said.
People commenting on the surgery's Facebook post described the theft as "disgusting", "disgraceful" and "the height of selfishness".
Could lockdown measures be extended?
Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab said the government would make a decision as to whether the lockdown measures would be extended when "the time is right" but that "we are not at that stage yet".
Speaking at the daily coronavirus briefing, he said social distancing measures were "helping", and that people must continue to adhere to them over the Easter weekend.
Analysis: What can we make of today's statistics?
Robert Cuffe
BBC head of statistics
Today's figures are a record high and bring the currently reported death toll above 6,000 for the first time. The rise of 786 is higher than Saturday's previous peak of 708 deaths reported in a single day.
If there is any silver lining to these grim figures, it is that they represent the fourth day in a row of below-trend growth.
For weeks up until Friday's figures, the number of deaths had been doubling every three and a half days. Had that trend continued, we would have seen close to 1,400 deaths today. Read my full analyis here.

He added, however, it would be another "week or so" before he could be sure.

FC United putting empty stadium to use
Non-league side FC United of Manchester might not be playing matches at the minute but that doesn't mean their Broadhurst Park home is going to waste.
The club have allowed their ground to be used as a logistics hub for local companies helping during the coronavirus pandemic.
It's two weeks since Boris Johnson announced the UK's lockdown, and there are signs the rate of infection is starting to slow, though not deaths.
While the number of people dying in hospital with coronavirus is doubling every few days, the figures for confirmed cases and hospitalisations are slowing down.

The daily death total will follow suit, scientists say. But they warn we could see record highs in the coming days.
Police who broke up an 18th birthday party after a noise complaint said a guest "did not believe" in coronavirus.
The Derby West response team said it didn't receive "the warmest of welcomes" after being called to the party in the Abbey area of Derby on Monday night.

The force said officers directed partygoers to leave the house and one person was fined.
The number of people to have died in hospital in England with confirmed coronavirus has risen to 5,655.
This represents an increase of 758 since yesterday's update.

However, the way NHS England publishes the data shows that many of these people died on different days. Of the 758 announced this afternoon, 272 of those people died on Sunday and 179 on Saturday.
One person whose death was announced today died on 19 March.

We also know that this figure misses deaths that occurred but have not yet been reported, so the true death toll at this point is likely higher.
If there is any silver lining to these grim figures, it is that they represent the fourth day in a row of below-trend growth.
For weeks up until Friday's figures, the number of deaths had been doubling every three and a half days. Had that trend continued, we would have seen close to 1,400 deaths today. Read my full analyis here.

When will we know if the UK lockdown is working?
It's two weeks since Boris Johnson announced the UK's lockdown, and there are signs the rate of infection is starting to slow, though not deaths.
While the number of people dying in hospital with coronavirus is doubling every few days, the figures for confirmed cases and hospitalisations are slowing down.
The daily death total will follow suit, scientists say. But they warn we could see record highs in the coming days.
Here are some charts to explain when we will know if lockdown is working.
House party guest 'did not believe in virus'
Police who broke up an 18th birthday party after a noise complaint said a guest "did not believe" in coronavirus.
The Derby West response team said it didn't receive "the warmest of welcomes" after being called to the party in the Abbey area of Derby on Monday night.
The force said officers directed partygoers to leave the house and one person was fined.
Lockdown measures mean there are strict rules against any large gatherings.
England's death toll rises by 758
Daniel Wainwright
BBC England Data Unit
The number of people to have died in hospital in England with confirmed coronavirus has risen to 5,655.
This represents an increase of 758 since yesterday's update.
However, the way NHS England publishes the data shows that many of these people died on different days. Of the 758 announced this afternoon, 272 of those people died on Sunday and 179 on Saturday.
One person whose death was announced today died on 19 March.
Many hospitals don't report deaths at the weekend until the middle of the week so we can expect those figures to be revised.
