I Attend this morning with My 10 year old grandson just after 8am struggling to find a park. filled in the form and noted NA regarding the fees. as I thought there was no charge . I have been to shorecare for the past 10 years with my grandson, in this instance the Dr and Nurse were great. Taking my form back to reception was surprised to see a $75 fee I asked the receptionist why was I not told there would be a charge as I specificially noted NA regarding a fee. A lady and her child were in another queue and the second receptionist said you are aware there is a charge for your child. This was not said to me. I waited while the receptionist went to get the manager as I was disputing the charge. the manager came and would not give me her name she was blonde with straight hair and looked about 40. I explained that if I had known the charge I would have taken my grandson to Nth Shore Hospital as I could not afford $75. The manager said they were a private company and the charge would be sent to baycorp if I did not pay I signed the form as I am the guardian for my grandson . I asked again for her name which she refused and said she would give me her business card. She handed me a card but when I got home it was just a card that said management Office and no name so she is not truthful.. Dreadful customer service as she was aggressive, rude and should not be working in the health sector. There values are not reflected in how they treat patients or clients.

Sorry to hear of your experience.
Fees are payable for patient's under the age of 14 during the day 8am to 5pm. The free service is for patients under 14 who attend prior to 8am, after 5pm and all weekend including public holidays. Outside of these times when General Practices are open full charges need to be paid as no government funding is available to private urgent care clinics.
Signage is available in the clinic and I have asked our team to check that this is clear.
If you require more information, please see our website www.shorecare.co.nz

Great experience today. The nurse was very attentive and compassionate. Dr Rachel Rowlands really listened and was incredibly thorough. I felt in expert hands. Reception staff were lovely too. Wait time was 1.5 hours, but entirely worth it.

The staff were professional and efficient but at the same time provided friendly and helpful support.

Thank you so much for taking the time to offer your positive feedback. It is a very challenging time for our staff and this feedback is well received. Thank you
