“I arrived last week in an ambulance after a hip replacement elsewhere to be greeted by a bulging ED with resources clearly stretched. Despite that I was seen quite quickly and was admitted for a cardioversion. The procedure was completed quickly and effectively the next morning. Despite being a large and complex facility the staff were terrific; thanks to the cardiologists, theatre staff, nurses on Ward 10 and the many others who assisted. All were super helpful and cheerful which was much appreciated.”

“Came today for a specific medication behind the counter and the pharmacist was so helpful and got what I needed quicky. Great service”

“My family and I drove here from out of town after a horrendous experience with a terrible, arrogant pharmacist and we are so glad we came here! Not only are the products affordable but the pharmacist who helped us was so lovely and helpful (unlike the one that was so arrogant in the town some 180km away). The pharmacist was so patient and spent so much time helping us even though she seemed quite busy, I think she was the manager but she took us to look at multiple options and explained them all so we could pick the right product Also feeling so so sorry for what they have to deal with. While we were there some horrible man was yelling at the staff blaming them for something that sounded very much like the guys own fault. And based on the reviews too. Some people really just dont understand how things work. Of course ID's have to be physical, anyone can present a digital/photo of one...thought this was common sense. Another one...it can't really be their fault if they havent got your prescription, it's your own responsibility to follow that up, how rude to expect them to do it for you. Also most companies who hire guards/bouncers source them through other companies so how is it the pharmacy's fault who they get as a guard? Shouldn't complain via a review about a guard but to the company the guard works for probably Honestly many of the people complaining about being treated like they're dumb do sound dumb... Give this pharmacy's staff a raise especially with all the idiots they seem to have to deal with yet they still provide great service. We will definitely be back and will recommend them to others”

“I love the doctors here. I find it easy to get an appointment at short notice usually, and happy to see anyone. Convenient locations, and they are usually on time.”

“I gone to Hill med clinics after suffering from sinusitis for one and half months. I been to some other clinics in christchurch before that and the response from the doctors overthere were awful.They neither had the patience to listen to the patient nor proper diagnostic skills. Fortunately , I got a chance to meet Dr. Catherine Thomas in the Hillmed Clinics. She was absolutely stellar. She listened to my problems and studied about my medical history. Her diagnosis was spot on and she discussed with me about condition and treatment plans which worked out well for me. To put in right words, it was that kind of treatment exactly what a patient expects when going to meet a doctor. A good doctor should be kind enough to listen to her patient and must be able to create a statergic plan discussing with patient which I found in Dr. Catherine Thomas. I highly recommend her for all those who are still in search for a good doctor in Christchurch.”

“Today my daughter and I went to Life Pharmacy in Riccarton for our flu vaccinations. We had a wonderful experience, and I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to the nurse who administered our vaccines. I’m truly sorry and a little regretful that I didn’t get her name—but she is, by far, the best nurse I’ve ever met. My daughter has always been very afraid of injections, and today she was extremely anxious. But this nurse showed extraordinary patience and used incredibly effective techniques to guide my daughter through the process smoothly. Afterward, my daughter kept telling me, “Mum, I really like that nurse—she’s the best nurse in New Zealand!” I hope that by leaving this 5-star review, I can help pass on the kindness she gave us to others as well. We are so grateful to have met her—what a blessing and a privilege it was.”

“First time using TEND. Firstly love the speed, let’s both get this over with. Secondly Dr Kantor sorting me out and my immigration bits too. Incredibly helpful. A positive experience that would make me use TEND again!”

“Changed doctors after many years at previous facility to here. Fantastic.... immediately 2 members of my family were correctly diagnosed with problems old doctor kept ignoring and one was operated on within a few months. Sorcha and Ben have been fantastic. Also...we have never had to wait for more than 10 minutes! Can't believe it. Definitely recommend.”

“I had to get an emergency surgery and it was my first time going through something like that and the staff from start to finish were all AMAZING! They all were absolutely incredible, kind and understanding. From the first nurse I talked to, even the anaesthesiologist were all so lovely and helped me calm down. Thank you so so much team ”

“5 star experience at Durham Health. Amazing kind efficient and professional care from reception HCA nurse and doctor . Followed by St John ambulance and ED Christchurch Hospital. well cared for all the way. Well done. Felt bad walking in at 4.15 on a Friday but glad I did.”

“Went in for a vaccination, didn’t even get to mentioning my needle anxiety, Micah brought the needle in discreetly palmed and it was over and done with before I realised it had even happened! Highly recommend.”

“Always a great experience coming to this practice, front of house staff always polite, My Dr was amazing and lets not forget how happy and helpful the nurses are, they also do an amazing job.”

“I am often followed around and approached multiple times while shopping but that hasn’t happened to me here before. I am always greeted when I walk in and then I am able to browse peacefully until I find something I would like to purchase. It’s also never too busy which is good for me as I have a young daughter and often need to take the pram into shops with me.”

“Thank you all for my recent mole removal minor surgery, I was so well looked after on both visits and so impressed with Dr Sanjeev Deo for his friendly, professional and positive guidance as well as nurse Kimberley and Karen Fitzpatrick for their expert care.”

“I've been the Medical Center occasionally throughout my 8 years of study, and they've generally been excellent. The medical center was always easy to deal with, appointments ran on time, and Dr. Jane Scott in particular provided exceptional care. She's friendly, professional, and offered great advice that addressed my concerns effectively. Unfortunately, I've had to leave the practice as I'm no longer a student, but I highly recommend this medical center to anyone seeking reliable healthcare with minimal hassle.”

“I went to the 24 Hour Surgery recently and was looked after by Nurse Rita. She was incredibly kind, informative, and caring. She took the time to explain everything clearly, gave great advice, and made sure I understood my aftercare for gastro. I really appreciate her help, thank you for making a stressful visit so much easier!”

“Awesome as always. Great rapport with the Dr and see nursing staff monthly for B12. Always an enjoyable experience”

“Dr Karen is knowledgeable and very patient towards to her patient, glad to have such a good doctor in our community.”

“I went to the pharmacy two days ago to get medication for my mother, and honestly the place is excellent and the service is extremely good. I was welcomed by a male staff member who was very friendly, kind, and helpful, with an excellent medical background. I can see a big improvement in the staff, as it’s clear he is new to the place, and the pharmacist on duty was also very, very cooperative.”

“Rolleston Health Centre provides outstanding service. The reception staff are always friendly, polite, and flexible when it comes to booking appointments, which makes the process smooth and stress-free. Their communication is excellent and professional. The nursing staff are highly qualified, skillful, and caring, making every visit reassuring. Truly a five-star experience.”
