Medical clinic in New Zealand

“Love the doctors and nurses plus Debbie and Sue are Awesome but could someone sack the receptionist she's awful and never answers the phone.”

“Great staff and service. Perfect for my rehab requirements and centrally located also.”

“I first came under the care of DrParaic and Cat after an acute mental health crisis. They met me having familiarised themselves with my current and past history which made a positive first impression. I felt like an actual person! More seriously, this professional approach was an important part in gaining my trust. Dr Paraic is an excellent clinician who proves valued support beyond medication. Cat, my social worker is a skilled listener, who really gets me on various levels. This may not sound like much but for me it is everything! …I don’t know how else to describe it. It’s a privilege to have her support me.”

“Ive had the pleasure in 2022 or 2023 being a client for several weeks maybe 12? I cant remember but this place really supported me, helped fund my sessions when WINZ was used up, and they offered genuine support. I saw two counsellors, one for one session and another for much longer but both were professional and I felt like i was in good hands with both. Thank you.”

“Lady at the reception was amazing, she really did help ease my nerves and made the whole process easier”

“I want to write a review especially after being treated terribly at a different medical center. The doctors, nurses and receptionist were all super friendly to me when I visited. I understand it’s been a long day for them, yet they’re still showing a lot of empathy and care which made up for the little accident I got.”

“Just great, extremely fast. Went there to do some blood tests. Door to door it was less than 15 minutes. Results coming later by email.”

“Cannot fault this practice. In spite of exceptionally difficult and frustrating times for all GP's in a fast-expanding Papamoa with an acute GP shortage, we have always been looked after by friendly, helpful reception and nursing staff who do their very best to get us sorted. Dr Natasha Roberton (and before her Dr Liam Tranter) somehow still makes time to listen kindly to her patients and focus on what is important/necessary for them, leading to positive outcomes. A big thank you. Highly recommended!”

“Overall, we had a very positive experience with them. We appreciate the professional service we received at Birthcare, and we absolutely love Kate and Lazzie, who demonstrate genuine care and profound commitment to the child, the mother, and the whānau. It was a very touching experience to see how they hold and talk about our baby, and how they model breastfeeding and baby-care techniques. We had to stay there for four days, and we experienced thorough and thoughtful care from at least seven staff members. All of them are professional and, in general, know what's best for our child. At first, it might feel like you experience inconsistent care and standards (which might be slightly true); however, the brighter side of this is that we learned so much from different staff members, as they all have their (unique) strengths. We also need to be aware that many of the staff members come from a different cultural background, and English may not be their native language, so it may take a while for you to fully understand them. For a minute, I even thought a few of them were quite condescending, but when you take their advice with an open heart and active listening skills, you might soon realise it is just how passionate they are about their job and how much they want to share what's best for you, even if you might not like the way they told you at first. Plus, the food is nice. A small surprise was that there was one time a student midwife (a quite capable one) came and performed a check-in and standard procedure. But she was not under any supervision during that time. Neither did she introduce herself as a student midwife until I found out. Highly recommend this place, especially if you are a first-time parent. We definitely learned so much!! Thank you, thank you, and very best from the bottom of our hearts.”

“Turned up after 5pm waited less than 5 minutes,Was assisted by Judy, I don't particularly like Blood Tests and she made me feel calm and relaxed.I can 100% honestly say it was the first blood test that I never felt a thing. Couldn't have been happier.”

“Had a smear test today with nurse melissa at the wainui hub, she was amazing made me feel very comfortable, was clear when she explained everything to me. I left my appointment feeling good. Love the staff at hutt health hub wainuiomata very helpful, very warm and inviting. Thanks hutt health hub wainui.”

“Petersgate has provided me a wonderful safe space for my sessions. My therapist is a great fit for me and I feel very supported and fulfilled, I definitely would recommend Petersgate counselling to those looking for somewhere affordable and professional. They have a different range of therapists to meet your individual needs and it's a well rounded supportive environment, I am grateful for the care I recieve.”

“For over a.year my mokopuna used the heavy steroids and antibiotics her GP gave her even though you never saw much improvement. I waited 3 hours and started the treatment, we trusted the prescribed medication and we trusted babys doctor. We immediately saw improvements and within 1 week she was finally free from suffering for over 1 year. I would have waited 6 hours to see my moko and her skin cleared. Now we just have to keep up our plan. Stop complaining about the wait, especially since most have suffered every moment of everyday for years. If you dont like waiting go somewhere else, if you are looking for help for you or your childs eczema then for us it was certainly worth the wait. Take a book and something to eat and drink because it will be a long worthy wait.”

“I have worked with Pro Ed since it's inception.Under Rick's leadership it has continued to offer exemplary service in every sense of the word. Rick's depth of expertise never fails to amaze me especially coupled with his delightful modesty and humanity. As the manager of a private pre school I have sat in on assessments (with parental permission),liased extensively with Rick and his high quality team to support our 4 year olds requiring tuition in the foundation skills for the three RS as well as to sort out behavioural issues. Without exception,Rick has been kind, sympathetic,respectful,100% professional,putting the needs of his clients first. As for value for money,his assessments provide in depth knowledge of weaker areas which are then addressed in fun way with pupils at our Pre School.There is total focus on improving child competency while fostering confidence and a love of learning. Pro Ed has been used by top schools for years funded by discerning parents and I have absolutely no hestation in recommending Pro Ed for personal,friendly, professional and effective therapy. Val Morrison, Small is Beautiful Pre School.”

“Ravi has been my dentist for over 15 years and I wouldn't go anywhere else - he is always super kind, thorough and informative. I also saw a new hygienist last week, Durrah, and she was absolutely fantastic. Highly recommend!”

“My daughter got her hand fractured and we rushed to this hospital. Their service was excellent right from assessment till X-ray and post X-ray discussion. Special thanks to Eleanor Shepherd was excellent situation handling and communication skills. She was really professional”

“I think it's fair to say that the transition to the new owners was a little wobbly and exacerbated by the nationwide shortage of GPs but my experience in the past year has been great. I understand the system now and am comfortable with the phone consults for routine health matters and get appointments in person with any complex or pressing matters. I feel well looked after from a health perspective.”

“I'm a relatively new patient here and so far every experience has been a breath of fresh air. My doctor is so unbelievably kind and empathetic, the receptionists are straight to the point which I appreciate and the facility is clean and tidy with excellent parking. I have had so many horrid doctors in the past who have brushed off serious concerns and left me at a point where I don't even bother going to see a doc when I'm sick because what's the point, they don't help. Now I feel listened to and validated in my concerns. This probably won't be seen by my doctor, but she has saved my mental well being and actual gives a damn about my physical well being too. I'd give ten stars if I could.”

“Both my children have had Fiona work her magic on their teeth, Fiona and her team are fantastic, always keeping us updated, nothing is ever a trouble from rebooking appointments, help with elastics, or explaining the process. The whole Team are so helpful. 100% recommend”
