Medical services in New Zealand

“Seddon Medical Centre doesn't always get positive views, however I tend to prefer the experience myself. Every visit has been positive and the Receptionist does what they can to provide the service which is required. Everytime I am needed assistance and care, I find the wait time isn't too long (sometimes 2 days, sometimes 2 weeks, 1 week or even within the next couple of hours just depending how busy they can get). Today I met with DR Reddy who I had the utmost care and was provided with medication I needed. He was very respectful and taken my concern in my health into consideration instead of fibbing them off and I felt that he cared about every word I said. I will be seeing DR Reddy again as I felt that I was given such care. Thanks again Team Seddon Medical Centre.”

“I need support for my peers for i fear they r going insane”

“Walk from the doctors room through the doors into the very friendly chemist in the building. Wait about 5 minutes prescription ready sent through from the doctor.”

“Joy Morris I have been with Dr Slushna Weeramuni for 11 years now and I want to highly recommend her. She takes the time to listen and knows my needs. The Nurses are great as well. The receptionists are always friendly and welcoming.”

“Wait time is a little long, but that’s to be expected with 1 doctor, very professional, receptionist is very nice, and very informative. Reading everyone else’s reviews, I’m a little shocked, firstly, I’ve sat there in the waiting room, I’ve watched the receptionist get abused on a daily by people who want to approach her in a rude manor, I’ve seen people moan about seeing only 1 patient in the room but waiting for a long period of time, I would tell those people, your time slot doesn’t always mean you’re seen on that exact time, different patients require different medical assessments and care which inevitably takes general seeing times over the usual. I for one am grateful for the doctors here in Clendon, it’s cheap and it’s just down the road, convenient for my grandmother, people who are moaning need to put our doctors and other countries doctors in perspective, you can’t just walk in to a doctors and expect to be seen in other countries, be grateful and count your blessings we have this service, because others whom are dying on the streets in other places can’t afford this convenience.”

“I have never had any bad experiences with my two doctors, Dr Chan and Dr Ho have always been very kind and understanding over the years.”

“Absolutely amazing experience! I came in with a persistent back problem and was genuinely surprised by how effective the treatment was. After just two sessions, I was already feeling 80% better—something I didn’t think was possible so quickly! The acupuncturist is not only incredibly skilled but also super friendly and welcoming, which made the whole experience even better. You can tell they genuinely care about your well-being. If you're dealing with pain or just curious about acupuncture, I highly recommend giving them a visit.”

“Had an amazing experience with the pain relief massage! The therapist was skilled and attentive, targeting the areas that needed the most attention. I felt immediate relief and left feeling relaxed and rejuvenated. Highly recommend for anyone looking to ease tension and pain.”

“I met Kerry 9 years ago When had a very severe back pain and nothing seemed to work. In 2 hour session Kerry unstuck my physical and emotional blockage, my back pain disappeared and has not come back since. Over time, Kerry became not only a trusted healer but also a friend, mentor, and someone I could have deeply meaningful and intellectual conversations with. For me visits to his clinic were a treat. In the last 2-3 years I met him more regularly to maintain a balanced energy. Kerry also introduced me to Qigong meditation which literally started a process of self healing and inner work with a quick awakening which I am being rewarded for right now in my life. The meditation is so easy but yet powerful if it is practiced regularly. Kerry is genuinely humble and not caught up in all the flashy marketing that’s common in the alternative healing space. I really wish more people knew about his amazing mix of skills. I left New Zealand a year ago, and honestly, one of the things I miss most is those sessions with Kerry.”

“Amy @ Restore Support Services has been (and continues to be) insightful, engaging, supportive and we have a rapport built on mutual respect, professional boundaries and trust.”

“I had a really wonderful Ayurvedic facial, I felt my tensions from working outside and being overseas melt away and left with a deep feeling of nourishment and release. I fully recommend this for beauty and alignment to self.”

“On Monday 22 September 2025, the team at the Animal Medical Centre worked for over 3 hours to remove LFC - liquid filling concrete - from the paws and other places of my cat Morgan La Fay. When Morgan got home and had recovered from sedation, she was completely back to normal. How Morgan came to walk through LFC is a long story which I will not recount. I do need to say 2 things, though, to make clear what a miracle the team achieved. The first is that, by the time I got her to the vet on Monday afternoon, the LFC had been on her paws and other places for 24 hours. She sounded like a ballet dancer en pointe when she walked around and kept hitting her ear with her back paw when trying to scratch it. The second is that Morgan is a cat with a very definite list of "nots" - do not walk towards me, do not pick me up, do not put me in a cage, do not leave me with strangers, do not touch my paws ... and on it goes. I knew she would have to be in a crush cage and I knew that even crush cages have their limits. The AMC team got all the hard-baked concrete off Morgan and left her with no ill-effects. That truly was a magnificent piece of work. I cannot speak highly enough of their ingenuity, patience, dedication, and veterinary knowledge and I am deeply grateful to them all. Thank you again to everyone who helped.”

“Best doctors I've been a part of in a very long time. Dr Anita is amazing and thorough. I came for one issue and she picked up on other things I didn't even realize and sent me for the appropriate tests and then provided treatment. The receptionist are polite and professional and even the nurses are amazing even offered to send off a smear test for me as they said I was overdue for one. They truly go above and beyond for all patients.”

“Dr. Kavi is an excellent GP. He takes the time to listen properly, explains things clearly and genuinely cares about his patients. I always feel comfortable and well looked after in his care. The practice itself is welcoming and efficient, making the whole experience smooth. Highly recommend Dr. Kavi if you’re looking for a GP who goes above and beyond.”

“Excellent customer service and services in general. I understand these guys can be a little cheaper than other places also. I was very happy with my experience and highly recommend Affinity.”

“Great experience. The nurse and GP there are very nice and patient to listen my sickness”

“Gareth and his team were first class, in their approach, manner, attitude and very clear in all l their Commnication. By far the best Dentist I have had for a very long time. I highly recommend. Barbara M S”

“I took my critically ill Chihuahua to this vet on Friday morning after she had been under the care of another vet for a week with no idea as to what was wrong. Within 30 seconds a lump was found. Daisy, my dog, was operated on Friday evening and an earplug was removed from her intestine. The next day Daisy nearly passed away but the dedication of the vet saved her. I have no doubt that my dog would have died without the care of this practice. For that reason they have hero status in my mind. I will never have enough words and cannot recommend enough.”

“Great experience here. Vet was fantastic and did everything she could for our pet chicken and allowed me to bring her in at short notice. Vets that work on chickens are very hard to even find.”

“These guys really care about you and your pets. We take our dog and cat here, both have had surgery and they looked after them both during and after so well. They don't push for "add on" sales either as they are independent.”

“We reached out to Karen for help with sleep issues, listening, and regular meltdowns. She took the time to understand our situation and created a plan tailored to our family. We’ve seen a dramatic improvement while our child’s core personality remains the same. Karen supported us every step of the way – highly recommend!”
