Medical services in New Zealand

“Lovely ladies and great Dr s So great costumer service when I came in I was in crazy pains(tmj back neck leg knee) thank you”

“Great family friendly practice. Easy to get an appointment and always feel listened to. Doctors have good relationships with patients and give thorough consults”

“Never have an issue getting either a call with a nurse or an appointment if acutely unwell (for my son) - so long as I call first thing in the morning. Helpful staff across the board. Very lucky to continue to have steady access to GP’s through this practice.”

“Nothing but positive reviews for the Doctor at Kroad Medical Centre. All in all, she is SOLO so she does it all on her own. Patient's need to give her empathy. Today, I really needed to see a Doctor. I called 3 Different Doctors, DR Chand was able to see me the same day. Yes it was a bit of a wait, however I didn't have to wait weeks and weeks to get better. Dr was very understanding, provided professional advice and I received the care I needed. Again, some people need a bit of empathy for the Doctors when medical is a very long wait these days.”

“I was very impressed by the service I got. I was very nervous going in, but the Dr and nurse were very friendly and helpful. I got a next day appointment when I called and everyone at the center was very helpful. Thank you :)”

“My family and I have all been patients of Dr Patterson for nearly 30 years and we have always found Dr Patterson and Kopata to be an excellent practitioner and medical centre. Dr Patterson always takes the time to listen to our health concerns and never rushes us out the door. I find Dr Patterson to be very personable and he’s great with my toddler. We’ve also found the nurses to be very kind too.”

“Dr Lucas Lachowicz was the most caring doctor I have been to. Could tell he was actually interested in finding the root of my issues which I have not experienced before. The reception lady was very nice and patient aswell under the busy stressful atmosphere.”

“I have had Dr Morrison as a GP for some years now , there is no need to change. He is both compassionate and extremely able as both physician and person . I never feel rushed and he has come through for me on personal issues time after time . His nurse is absolutely terrific and the centres staff first class . I cannot recommend St Albans medical centre highly enough !”

“It's never nice to have to take a trip to the after hours but the staff at Pegasus are fantastic. They're always so thorough and empathetic. I've been to there after hours twice now for 2 different urgent issues, I've also accompanied family members there when they've had health scares and all those times the doctors there have always been professional and treated us with kindness. They're probably so overworked and undervalued but they still put their best foot forward to treat those that need them. The wait times can be long but it's a great place to go if you want great doctors and nurses and access to a lot of the medical equipment and resources required for a vast array of emergency treatments.”

“I live near Taradale Medical, so I am registered with them and have been for over 10 years. I find the service excellent. If I need to get in urgently I usually can, the staff are polite, caring, patient and friendly. I have Dr Michael Koch who is amazing. I use their online portal and he has even responded over a weekend when it has been urgent. Recently I saw an elderly lady bring in baking for a Dr there. I would highly recommend this service and the staff.”

“I have no idea why people are giving such bad reviews on this place. EVERY medical centre has wait times, my mother and sister are at 2 different medical centres and they both have to wait upto an hour to get seen. Not to mention my sister had to wait 2 and a half weeks at her centre for an urgent appointment because she was BLEEDING. Which is absolutely insane! It’s actually horrific. Personally my partner, son and I have had great experiences with waiting times for appointments and wait times for getting an appointment itself. Some people just LOVE to winge- and all of these people that have left bad reviews are those people. Go to any other centre and you will see the wait time for an appointment is no different. You can always get a same day urgent appointment here as well- which is incredible if you have children and babies especially! I have a 2 year old son and we have belonged to this centre for years- and I have ALWAYS been able to get a same day urgent appointment for him when he is sick, knocked his head or has ear infections- which he has had a bad run with etc. All of these doctors and nurses are fantastic, caring and so professional. Super great with kids as well. I genuinely wouldn’t change or go to another medical centre! The staff here need a raise or a medal for how awesome they are/ have been. 100 stars!!”

“I'm 75 and have lived in many places and had many different Doctors. The Fono, Henderson is far and above the best I've ever been a Patient of. Incredibly friendly, ultra efficient, genuinely caring, spacious and immaculately clean. Very easy to get an appointment at short notice. Love them”

“I’ve been seeing Dr. Kate for a long time and really appreciate her kindness and care. She’s very knowledgeable, helped me with my gall bladder problem, and also supported me through a bone fracture. So grateful to have her as my GP!”

“Dr Bea was super awesome during the appointment, highly recommend!!! Talked me through the whole situation!”

“Receptionist is kind, spoken gentle tone with heaps of help about enquiring for my little pēpi. Tamariki Ora nurse checked in on us when pēpi was born for its check ups. Doctor for another reason also kind and gave us positive feedback. I recommend whānau to enroll here.”

“Been coming to barrington medical on and off since I was a kid and this medical practice is the best one I've been too. Many people with negative reviews need to realize that the health system is broken not this specific practice. Blame national, not these above solid doctors and staff.”

“We love the service provided! Our pets are always so well cared for and extra services like watering the garden/bins out/mail collected are never a problem. Always fast and friendly communication with photo updates. Highly recommended!”

“My friend Charlie I a little shy to go to the doctors and but I know they will treat like family . The world we live in is so, so, kind. Be grateful and find love wherever you can, because it is in everything and everyone, it is all always and forever meant for us.”
