2017 FLU Vaccines have arrived!
The Flu vaccine is FREE to patients aged 65 years and older; pregnant women; and patients with certain medical conditions. A fee of $40 applies to all other patients.
Many employers now pay for this vaccine as a staff benefit - ask your employer if this is available to you.
Please phone 478-9858 to book your appointment with our nurses.

Patient portal-have you considered it?
Over 1,000 patients are already using the patient portal. We are now inviting all patients over the age of 16 years to register. This is a confidential and secure way to access your health information online, and to communicate with your GP. You can view test results, request repeat prescriptions, and book non-urgent appointments at a time convenient to you. There is also an app so you can access your health records anywhere, at anytime.
For more information check out the video link on the Home page.
Health Care Home - We're making some changes for the better.
We want to make it easier for you to get in touch with us.
We are upgrading our phone systems so that we can answer your call more efficiently.
We also have Health Care Online, our Patient Portal, which allows you to contact your GP, book appointments, and see lab results and other clinical information, online. Going forward, as a portal user, you will be able to communicate with your GP in person, over the phone, or online. We may be able to save you a trip in to see us if you don’t need to, which may be more convenient for you.

Mondays - with Dr Mckenzie

She has a Masters Degree in Counselling, Batchelor of Science (Psychology) and is a full member of the New Zealand Association of Counsellors. Lisa believes that as we travel through life, problems arise that can cause us to get stuck. Sometimes the problems grow and take on a life of their own, stopping us from enjoying life, stealing our hope, interrupting our relationships and separating us from the things that are important to us.
