Description
Our aim is to provide quality care to all our patients at a reasonable cost and to help them understand and manage their health problems.

This tells you that we have met the high standards set by the Royal New Zealand College of General Practitioners in patient care, the services we offer and the facilities we provide and that as a practice team we are committed to continuous improvement.
We have the portal available which allows on-line access for making appointments, requesting repeat prescriptions, viewing clinical notes and more.
