“I had an exceptional experience with Dr. Little, whose expertise and patient care stand out in his field. From my initial consultation, it was clear that Dr. Little combines deep knowledge with a genuine commitment to patient well-being. He provided a comprehensive explanation of my condition and treatment options, ensuring I was fully informed and comfortable with the plan moving forward. Dr. Little's approach is thorough and personalised. I highly recommend Dr. Little. His professionalism (and that of his staff) coupled with a compassionate approach, makes him an excellent choice.”

“This is brilliant stuff! I've been taking the Double Shot once a day for almost 4 months now and really noticing a difference in my health. More energy/less tired, getting sick a lot less and seem to need less snacks in between meals. Would highly recommend - I've just got my husband into Double Shots now too :) In terms of the taste, to start with yes it's a bit gross BUT if you stick with it, it will actually start to taste more like the berries and less like the bitter greens.”

“I cannot speak highly enough of Chelsea at Silk Christchurch. From my very first appointment, she made me feel comfortable, listened to my goals, and explained every step clearly. Her professionalism, expertise, and eye for detail are second to none, and the results she’s achieved for me are so natural and flattering. Having been to another clinic before, the difference was immediate — I often felt rushed and uncertain elsewhere, but with Chelsea the whole experience has been thoughtful, supportive, and reassuring. I truly feel like I’m in safe hands every time, and the confidence I’ve gained from her work has been incredible. The clinic itself is modern, spotless, and welcoming, but it’s Chelsea’s skill, care, and the genuine trust she builds with her clients that makes Silk stand out. I’m so glad I made the switch and couldn’t imagine going anywhere else now.”

“I went to the dentist for the first time in10 years and the first time in NZ. After some horror stories from work colleagues regarding dentists I went to Avonhead Dental to have a filling replaced and was pleasantly surprised with the service and friendly staff. Dr Jo Chen Green was fantastic and her assistant also treated me very well. I will recommend them if you need any dental work done. Thank you Anterio de Agrella”

“Literally saved my 1 month holiday around NZ. Had a very painful, infected ingrown toenail whilst touring NZ, spent a couple of days limping around Christchurch trying to get a podiatrist appointment at various clinics until I managed to get a same day appointment at Sports Clinic! Was seen by Smit Shah who was super personable, understanding and knowledgeable. Smit explained all my options and I opted to have minor surgery to remove the infection then and there (executed meticulously!). Outcome: Instant relief that evening, walking normally the next day, hiking 3 days later. Smit scheduled a checkup appointment a week later to make sure my recovery was on track and provided me with aftercare guidance; my big toe is still going strong 3 months later! Highly recommend Sports Clinic. Big shout out to Smit who's simply a brilliant clinician and a super friendly guy, incredibly grateful for his work :)”

“Great martial art to practice in a relaxed, community-oriented environment. Ideal place to learn true martial art fundamentals for self-defense, fighting, and for personal development. Joining after many, many years experience in another martial art, it has been life changing. Highly recommend.”

“I can honestly say I enjoy visiting Elmwood Dental. I have heavily filled teeth and know I will be up for ongoing repair work as time goes on. I wanted to find a Dentist I could feel comfortable with and was recommended Elmwood Dental. I have been so well looked after by the Elmwood dental team. I have appreciated the follow up calls and the efforts made to accommodate scheduling appointments. Sherin is ‘my’ Dentist :) I have every confidence in her skills, expertise, and experience and access and use of modern technology. My most recent appointments were related to a crown. Good advice around timing the procedure, answered all my questions, checked in with me through each step of the treatment. I genuinely recommend this Dental Practice JE Christchurch”

“I joined in 1996. Best boost in confidence ive ever had. Great support and community.”

“Candy was absolutely incredible. I had a 1.5 hour deep tissue massage and I instantly had improvement in pain and range of motion after the session. I had been to physio previously for massage but they were no where near the level of expertise that Candy has. I had asked for very firm pressure and Candy did exactly that! Thank you so much.”

“I recently visited Caci Clinic Marshland, and from start to finish, the experience exceeded all my expectations. As a male, I initially felt a little apprehensive about venturing into skincare treatments, but the team at Caci made me feel completely at ease. Their professionalism and welcoming approach instantly erased any discomfort. The consultation process was thorough, with the staff taking the time to understand my specific skin concerns and goals. They explained everything clearly, ensuring I knew exactly what to expect during and after the treatment. I would highly recommend Caci Clinic Marshland to any male considering taking better care of their skin.”

“Quick and easy to get your vaccinations, lovely staff, easy parking...and you can book online or just drop in.”

“Professional experience from start to finish. Excellent, warm welcome from the receptionist on arrival and outstanding service from the audiologist. Cynthia made me feel at ease and fully explained everything, from the taking of background information, the testing process and the results. She was clearly very knowledgeable about the various hearing aids available and I did not feel under pressure to make a hasty decision. That said I was so confident that I had all the information I needed to make a reasoned decision that I ordered hearing aids immediately. I would recommend Triton, Rangiora to anyone else without hesitation.”

“I recently had a knee operation at St George’s Hospital, and I can’t speak highly enough of the care and professionalism I experienced throughout my stay. From the moment I arrived, Lynda at reception made me feel welcome and reassured, setting a positive tone for my visit. The nursing team on Ward 3 was nothing short of exceptional. Catherine, Sarah, Melissa, Dawn, and student nurse Jess all went out of their way to ensure I was comfortable and well cared for. Their kindness, patience, and dedication made a real difference to my recovery, and I am truly grateful for their support. I know there may be other staff members who also contributed to my care, and I sincerely appreciate all their efforts, even if I haven’t mentioned them by name. The hospital facilities were also impressive. My single room was kept spotlessly clean, which added to my comfort during my stay. The meals were well-prepared and tasty, ensuring I was well-nourished as I recovered. Overall, my experience at St George’s Hospital was outstanding. The staff’s professionalism and compassion made all the difference, and I would highly recommend this hospital to anyone in need of care. Thank you to everyone who played a part in my recovery!”

“A really good vet clinic , my cat is still under treatment so I don't know about her outcome yet .It will be a while to get her stable and ongoing .She couldn't be in better hands. I think she is very unwell ,she went away for 2 -3 days and just came back tonight. I fed her and my stray black cat came in for his fed.they don't get on as he is a real male ,unneutered and think he's a feral/exdomestic cat possibly dumped or left behind when young he did the cat flap next door & got kicked out harshly so came into mine he was starving.. I kicked him out as there was a big cat fight ,mine hid under the bed eventually ,He has scooted out the flap but 5 minures he comes back with this low growl 'keep away' big bluff actually . So I fed him some of that shredded meat and he was one happy cat and he loves milk (I know it's not too good for their lungs apparently) but he drunk 2 bowls and got into the cat biscuits .He's sporadic though I never know when he'll turn up and now I'm allowed to pet him .I slipped him a dewormer tab and is now a pitch black nice cat. The Manx I think is too ill to save Petal needs to sleep but I can't get her out from under the bed . I'm too disabled to reach her ,I tried but shes found a good spot.Mean while I adopted Rufus an 8 year old mixed breed big like a lab. He's a softie ,loves food and likes me the source of delights .He has to sample tit bits off my plate I hand him or I risk losing the whole lot and he loves icecream & custard .Sorry to ramble but I'm in bit of a panic with Petal she needs out and in the cage when I can get her to my vet in Darfield . She had 3 lovely kittens all adopted 2 females with normal tails and a male a real Manx ,a little knub for a tail .He went to my best mates wife. I later thought Darn I shoulda kept him for Petal and us ........She had a good life sole charge I used to see her patrolling the territory and she never figured out a hedgehog we used to feed..............I got a pic somewhere...Oh well, I'll have to call someone I hope she doesn't leave me again.”

“There care our beloved cat received was outstanding. The vet was amazing our cat was really scared and so was I. She explained everything really clearly and was so compassionate and caring that our cat calmed down and I think fell a little in love, she was purring instead of hissing. We possibly have a long road to get our wee girl back to good health but I have every faith in our vet Thank you”

“Just spent 5 days at Southern Cross Hospital Christchurch. Very professional, caring and friendly staff. Awesome atmosphere and comes across as a happy team.”

“The Pharmacists at Bishopdale are the best ever!!! They form meaningful relationships with their customers and go above and beyond in ensuring all information is accurate for the best outcomes. Our whanau would never consider going anywhere else!”

“This place is amazing. Their learn to swim programme runs like a well oiled machine. I love the pay by the month system, rather than by the term. It meant that my child could move up a class when the instructors thought he was ready, rather than waiting until the end of the term. Great instructors and there are people always watching the children's progress.”
