Description
Your own family doctor, in the heart of South Dunedin for over 60 years.
At Dunedin South Medical Centre, we believe that continuity of care is important, particularly for people who have chronic health issues or complex needs.
We’ve always kept our fees for our patients as low as we can. South Dunedin is densely populated and is one of the most socioeconomically deprived urban areas in the country. We are proud to be a Cornerstone Accredited teaching practice for medical and nursing students.
We do not offer emergency services.
