Description
We are a general practice, aiming to provide quality healthcare to you and your family.
We are a community practice owned by Procare.
Consultations are by appointment only. Our standard consultation time is 15 minutes.
We are a normal General Practice and NOT AN ACCIDENT & EMERGENCY CENTRE.
However, because of the distance to North Shore and Waitakere hospitals, we can provide first aid services, during normal opening hours.
It is still important to telephone us if possible before you arrive. This allows us to prepare to accept you and fit you into our normal appointments.
