Mental health clinic in New Zealand

“I'm relatively new to Absolute Health but so glad to have chosen them to treat me. I have had nothing but great treatment to date and without Jay trusting his gut and referring me for a scan I may not have received other treatment I needed.”

“Great friendly team with outstanding knowledge.”

“They are good with babies and stuff”

“Oilvia is so amazing she know what she doing easy to talk they are at great company”

“A great team. I would highly recommend”

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

“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.”

“Very grateful for the advice from a friend to go and see Natalie, to help guide me through the late stages of my pregnancy. I was a complete newbie to acupuncture and Natalie was so generous and helpful in her treatments and explanations. Crucially the treatment (including moxa sticks) helped turn my baby from a posterior position in preparation for labour. Would absolutely recommend!”

“My #1 address in Dunedin when it comes to holistic health. I had an osteopathic treatment with "Thierry Rey". I was suffering from severe back pain. After one session the pain was entirely gone. I could almost not believe it, after no-one had been able to help me before. Next day I went for an acupuncture treatment with "John Swift" to decrease the inflammation that had built up in my back muscles over time. He did an amazing job. During the session he explained every step, always asking if I am alright. He is incredibly knowledgeable and a wise man. Last but not least it needs to be said that the team at the reception does a fantastic job. I felt very welcome. Such lovely and attentive people. Thank you so much for helping me!”

“I absolutely love my accupuncture sessions with Ella! Always look forward to them every week. I have been seeing ella for fertility. After every session I feel so much more balanced and have noticed a huge improvement in my health overall. Ella is always so caring and goes the extra mile to make sure you feel comfortable, always love our chats too. Highly recommend!”

“An excellent solution for employers to support their employees through the EAP ( employee assistance program). Also individuals clients can use the friendly and easy to use system to access therapists.”

“This clinic is so amazing! Thank you for Olivia(Yeonju Park)'s treatment. I had have a back spine pain for 15years. Now days, I am sure that my pain is better than before.”

“Very professional and the doctor is very responsible”

“I cannot thank you enough. Someone very close to me continues seeing you and he is so much back to the person that he used to be.”

“Can't recommend this lovely gentleman enough, he has been patient, kind and understanding of my problems and offered real solutions which have worked, and continue to work. He has not only helped ease the pain of a frozen shoulder but has also identified other underlying issues and helped me to treat those too. Will definitely keep attending.”
