Medical services in Christchurch

“Amazing locally owned gym. If you want something thats not a generic franchised owned place go check them out.”

“Very helpful staff. Good service.”

“Very helpful staff brought a new pair of glasses in under half a hour Great selection and service. The guy who served me was friendly and approachable Can't wait to get my new glasses”

“Came to look around the gym based on the council's current $30 promo and Lilli (from the Customer Experience team) was an absolute star. The other council gyms we'd visited had just waved us through independently, which is totally fine, but Lilli went the extra mile, showing us all the equipment, group fitness areas and pools and gave us loads of useful information, which has very much convinced us to join. Thanks again!”

“I brought my Daughter in for her first eye exam today and Wow I was not expecting how amazing the team was with young kids . My daughter was treated amazing and we had the most sweetest worker who come and did drawing with my daughter while we waiting for the results. The man who spoke with us about the eye test results was very detailed and double cheeked everything he answered every question we had (again amazing with such a young child) such a wonderful experience”

“I had a great experience with Dr Yaso and the team. I had been under treatment with Yaso for a year for ligament fracture. Yaso had helped me throughout the journey and provided me all the support and care I needed beacuse of which I was able to recover quickly. Thanks for the amazing service.”

“Just been to UC open day with my daughter. She will be attending in 2027. Such a fabulous experience. All the hype of open night delivered in Wellington, re delivered and experienced in campus. Super knowledgeable staff and extraordinarily kind and patient student help. Such a great vibe and so removed from my own experience it makes me want to go back to learning. Can't recommend this Uni any higher.”

“Wonderful team, always helpful and friendly!”

“Awesome experience. I came here on a Monday morning after dejectedly leaving Liberty Market, having been refused service when attempting to buy my groceries for the unforgivable sin of having a mask exemption. Not being able to wear a mask for medical reasons, I was unable to shop in Liberty Market's store for food when I came in on a Monday morning, and was asked to make an online booking time in order to come in and buy food (a functionality I later found is not even available on their website as promised!). I surmise that this option is perhaps simply offered in the moment by the staff at Liberty Market in order to placate those with mask exemptions, and avoid a fuss at the till without offering them an actual solution. I'll be bringing all of my business to Wholefoods on Riccarton Road from here on out, and have advised my mother to do the same. In addition to their lack of virtue signalling, the produce here at Wholefoods is also consistently fresher and I have noticed is restocked far more often than the produce at Liberty Market. An added bonus? Service was delivered with a smile. Keep on keeping on, guys! Yours, Another happy customer.”

“I unfortunately had to come to this Hospital as a family member ended up in the spine unit, being flown down from Wellington, as we don’t have a that kind of care system here, so back in August 2025, My Dad and I hope on a plane and headed down, I was blown away how great this hospital was and all the nurses and doctors look after my cousin so well, also the set up down there you have for the family members that have people staying in that unit, is so amazing awesome, the apartments are awesome, if I ever win big on lotto, I’m definitely donating to Burwood Hospital.. thank you”

“Our mother Beverley Stead lived her last 4 years in the rest home and hospital at the Charles Upham retirement village. Mum had dementia and all staff members cared for Mum with kindness, care, respect and compassion. There were many activities for residents to enjoy and Mum particularly loved singing with the live musicians. As Mum’s life neared the end the excellent level of care became exceptional. It was evident that these wonderful staff members were not simply doing a job but genuinely cared. We are extremely grateful to you all.”

“Always have a good experience here. Very lovely staff and great selection of products”

“I Found it to be very friendly staff. Very knowledgeable practitioner. Some negative comments on reviews seem to stem from it not taking long for their ears to be cleaned? My right ear was far more blocked up and took a lot of work but my left took maybe 1 minute. you're not paying for the time, you're paying for a service. I was happy with the service. Clean ears! and she was gentle with the tools used.”

“This was my regular pharmacy for a few years and they are AMAZING. They'd always check up on me and make conversation. Staff were so respectful and professional. They always went out of their way to make sure my medication was correct. The store also has a great range of gifts and cosmetics.”

“I came here to get my 10 month old a passport photo. One of the pharmacists is an expert with babies, he had all the tips and tricks to get the right shot. We were in and out in under 10 minutes. Highly recommend Sydenham pharmacy for any mums and dads who need to get their kids passport photos.”

“In a handy location within the supermarket complex and plenty of parking. The staff are the absolute best, so friendly and always happy to help. Free smiles too.”

“Always a busy bustling place, but never too busy to always be helpful. Lovely staff and a wonderful place to shop.”

“Marist Hockey is a family focussed hockey club that encourages friendship, teamwork and competitive play.”

“The staff were knowledgeable and helpful and they had a good range of products including the product I wanted. They were able to discuss any side effects and the conditions the product would treat. As we have fwer of these stores around now, this is a gem. Thank you.”

“Lovely experience with Halswell Dental. The reception staff are kind and helpful and my dentist Lizzie was outstanding. She was understanding and non judgemental. For nervous patients like myself Halswell Dental is perfect as they offer different sedation options that don't break the bank. I'm no longer scared to go back to the dentist :)”

“I love this place, getting to see her makes my day by miles, got me thinking ive found heaven, im addicted and i cant get her off my mind, shes that one person that makes me feel great about myself, nothing can change how i feel, thanks to her im me again”

“Receptionists were very polite and lovely. Dr.Nat Anglem was excellent. He did thorough diagnosis, allowed me to explain my pain and symptoms. He is extremely talented, had empathy and such a lovely person.He really cares about the patient’s health and well-being. I wish all the doctors are like him. Thank u so much doctor. You are really great.”

“Enjoy my best pharmacy ever really nice staff and they know what they’re doing. I appreciate you bringing the customers with a big smile on the face. Good job keep it up.”

“Very friendly and easy to deal with ,I just have to ring them and let them know I'll be poping down and the meds are already to go ,such a good bunch of people”

“Thanks Hayley for helping me get my parcel away this morning, extremely professional and helpful.”

“Fantastic golfing experience. Great layout. Fairways the best I’ve ever hit a ball off. The staff are a credit to your business. I wish I could remember your names individually as you’re an absolute credit to your employers. From the course Marshall who approached us to take pins out as we putted to apologising for the slowness as it was the members medal day. Which he didn’t have to do as I was thoroughly enjoying the day (again I’m hopeless with names but what a fantastic bloke who came and asked me in the clubhouse how my round went) Also the young proshop or manager who asked me how my day went as I sat for a beer. Great hospitality and I can’t wait to come back. 10/10 experience.”
