“I saw Dr Coran Turner to check my many skin spots for cancer. I found Dr Turner very professional but also kind and sincere. It was a very positive and reassuring appointment. I would 100% recommend this doctor.”

“Have seen Dr Kenneth Wong for my ezxma. He is a good doctor and listen to my problems and also patience with when I talk.The receptionist are amazing an very cheerful and helpful.”

“After consecutive miscarriages we came to FA to have testing done in order to find some answers. We had an appointment booked with Dr Simon Kelly, and they arranged an extensive panel of bloods & other tests to be done prior to coming in. I suprisingly fell pregnant the week before our appointment so Dr Kelly put me on medication to help hold the pregnancy and have just given birth to a beautiful healthy baby! While we can’t say for sure if it was the medication that helped this time or just pure luck, it gave us peace of mind & hope. I had asked my gp for these meds previously and was dismissed. Dr Kelly was kind, compassionate and really listened to us. It was the first time i felt heard in 2 years and we would highly recommend FA to others struggling with infertility”

“I had a lovely friendly lady Yvonne doing my MRI today. She was really understanding with my needs as I have anxiety/panic attacks. Yvonne talked to me the whole time explaining what scans were coming up which helped me, so thank you. The MRI rooms feel very cosy with extra light coming through the pictures. From walking in to leaving I only had polite friendly staff.”

“Lovely staff, great bedside manner. Olivia was fabulous, and an absolute angel in getting the appointment and everything sorted for me!”

“Went today Mondsy 23. Fir a MRI. Was extremely nervous as I m extremely claustrophobic. We convinced that even with anxiety pills I would no be able to go through with it. But was talked through it .advised that my fears were not unusual. And my feeling ashamed was ok, but not necessary. Any way thanks to all job done, and whats great is that so much anxiety seems to have gone. This 77 yr old feels like I'm a lot stronger mind wise, can't thank you enough. Richard Dahlberg.”

“My husband was given excellent care at N/S ED on Saturday the 28th of September. He saw Kate (Nurse Practitioner intern)! Kate was amazing and she gave very professional care, attention and showed empathy! My husband understood everything that he was told which put his mind at rest! Well done! Kind regards, Alison & Derek Hobbs”

“It really really helped me deal with my emotional human brain. I would recommend anyone having mental health issues request a bed here.”

“Mary consistently demonstrates exceptional customer service skills and administrative proficiency as a medical receptionist, providing a positive experience for patients and efficiently managing operations. I only look for her when i go to local doctors soooo purely soul. Dr Prasanth Thank you for being an amazing doctor.” “Thank you for your exceptional care and for always putting your patients first. You are truly appreciated as a doctor.” “I want to express my heartfelt gratitude for your unwavering dedication and compassionate. Moniza ali”

“I’m really posting a review for the professional, yet extremely warm and friendly receptionist named Jenny at Pacific Radiology in Paraparaumu. People are often coming into Pacific Radiology to have imaging for potentially serious conditions/diseases. While I waited for my appointment, I noticed Jenny gently, kindly and professionally greeting and attending to people as they came and went. She went well out of her way to say some uplifting words in a very genuine way, to all her clients. It was a delight to see this kind courtesy and warmth and I know from experience, that these kindnesses can make or break a person’s day. Nice work Jenny!!”

“I visited White Cross - St Lukes on the 12th Sept. From the time I arrived, everything was perfect. Sue at the front desk greeted me with a smile & was very friendly & helpful. The nurse was great & Dr Brandon Tsang was excellent. They went over my issues with "a fine tooth comb" and I walked out highly satisfied and pleased with the treatment I was given. From walking in to leaving, it would have only been 45 min to an hour max. Great work White Cross - St Lukes!! 10/10.”

“North Shore Hospital I recently had an extended stay at North Shore Hospital, and I can’t say enough good things about the entire team. From the moment I was admitted, the staff were incredibly caring and attentive. They truly went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable and well taken care of. Every nurse, doctor, and support staff member showed genuine compassion, and it was clear they really cared about my recovery. I’m incredibly grateful for their professionalism and kindness during a pretty tough time. Huge thanks to everyone there, you all made a big difference! Definitely a five-star experience. Thanks, Caleb”

“I want to express my complete gratitude to the emergency department team and the nurses in the Rangtira ward. We went in thinking one thing, but were quickly rushed in where 3 drs and 5 nurses worked so quickly to help our little boy start to breathe again. I know that’s your job, but he is our life, and we can’t thank you enough ❤️ once in recovery, Erica, a nurse in the Rangitira ward was so accommodating and caring and natural, that it made our stressful time there easy. Health professionals don’t get enough gratitude. They have a real job that actually matter. Thanks guys and girls. Love you all ❤️❤️❤️”

“DR ALTIKRITY WASAN IS wonderful, she look after patients as a mum. Really glad to have as my doctor. Thanks local doctors to appointed her”

“This is my second visit to this clinic despite living in Whangaparaoa. Last year for a long overdue full mole check. And this year for the same. I’ve had Dr Vishnunadan both times and he’s great, as were the other staff. I ended up having two troublesome skin tags removed there and then and they organised it via Southern X for me. My appointment was at 1210 and I had been seen, moles checked and two large tags shaved off and back in the car by 1240. I see this clinic doesn’t have great reviews over others so I just wanted to give credit it where it’s due. I’ll keep going back here for my annual checks or any other issues as they do a great job. Thank you guys.”

“I think within this service it's all about who you get. They do have a high turn over of staff (I've been in the service for 3 and a half years and have had 5 case managers and 4 psychiatrists). I think within the service you also have to advocate for yourself as best as possible and if your case manager and/or psychiatrist isnt helping you request to change your team. My last case worker and psychiatrist were people who just weren't a good fit for me so I requested to change my whole team and now I'm being I have an incredibly good relationship with my case worker and psychiatrist. In terms of who you need to have a good relationship with its definitely first and foremost your case worker as they are the ones you have the most interaction with. I'm sorry to hear of all the negative experiences people have had within the service and I could definitely see that being the case. The service definitely could be better. But I'm just lucky my experience has been a pretty satisfactory one. For case managers Filly (though I'm not sure if she still is in that role) and Taryn are INCREDIBLE and have helped me immensely and always advocated for me in terms of voicing how I was feeling to other services when I wasnt strong enough to do so. I saw that someone posted a negative review about the psychiatrist Ingrid, I've found her to be the best psychiatrist I've had so far, soft spoken and asks all the right questions. In terms of groups, I've been in 4 throughout my time and have found them to be helpful both in the social aspect (where I have met some great people) and in their content. Sure, some of the groups I havent found were helpful for me, but when that was the case I still went for the social aspect and learning different skills/gaining knowledge even if so far I havent found information for that particular group helpful. Being a patient within different public services before I kind of knew where my expectations needed to be and they've lived up to that. Being a public service their resources are stretched THIN so for what they are given by the DHB funding wise, I think they are doing the best job they can with what they have been given which is something that I feel should be recognized.”

“The staff are amazing very friendly and helpful”

“I want to express my sincere thanks to Dr Ravi Narang for promptly diagnosing the real issue. Confirming it was gout and not a fracture ensured I received the right treatment, which helped relieve my pain quickly. Thank you.”

“Considering the nightmare time of year with most doctors shut down, the service we received was unbelievably good. Dr Nikki was so thorough and I really thought she went the extra mile to check my daughter was getting the right tests and had the best review of what the next steps were- she listened , she took her time to ensure all the right tests were undertaken and having been in the hospital system with my daughter a lot in her younger years I was so impressed by the care Nikki and the nurses gave us. Outstanding!!”

“We had a great first-time experience at Local Doctors – Dannemora. Had an appointment booked for my sick daughter at 2:30pm and we arrived a bit early, around 2:15. The reception staff were very kind and accommodating, even with a simple task like finding my daughter’s name in the system, made us feel welcomed. We were assisted shortly after by a friendly and caring Filipino nurse, Bless, who took my daughter’s vital stats with warmth and professionalism. At 2:30pm, we were seen by Dr. Alaa, who was incredibly humble, accommodating, and kind. She treated my daughter so gently and took the time to explain her condition clearly and in a reassuring manner. The visit was efficient, compassionate, and professional from start to finish. I truly appreciate the care we received and would not hesitate to recommend this clinic to others. Thank you to the wonderful team at Local Doctors – Dannemora for making our first visit such a positive experience!”

“Glen Innes doctors have the best doctors and nurses! I have always loved going to them whenever I have need. My children have grown up with them as well! Great work Glen Innes doctors!!!”

“Personally had a really good experience. Was in and out from seeing nurse, doctor and pharmacist in about an hour and a half and was with doc for a good 20 minutes. Dr Lucy was very helpful and same with nurse Kaitlin (sorry if that isn't correctly spelt). Was a pretty quiet day for them it seemed but very helpful. Thank you!!”

“All staff there are so friendly and welcoming. The after hours doctors and nurses do and amazing job and are so kind. The doctors themselves are great I have seen 2 different doctors now and each time I have felt listened to and had my questions answered. 10/10 It’s always an enjoyable experience when I go there”
