13 Princes Street Ōtāhuhu Auckland 1062 New Zealand
Description
Established in May 2016 by Dr Poanere Tapukura Rairi, MaxCare Medical Centre is a Pacific led Primary Healthcare provider committed to closing the health equity gaps for our community.Our approach ensures that we deliver culturally safe, holistic, and accessible healthcare services to our patients. We aim to provide a wraparound service that is accessible to our whānau.
MaxCare is situated in the heart of Ōtāhuhu, the Ōtāhuhu Town Centre. The site was chosen for three key reasons:
to provide you with better accessibility to our facilities by being near public transport (bus, train) provided in the local region of Ōtāhuhu.
to provide better access to those of you who travel via private transport, with ample parking space.
to decrease the workload from our main hospitals with the additional benefit of reducing your waiting time.
If you choose to enrol with us, we will provide a proactive approach to your healthcare rather than wait for a minor issue to fester into a major health problem. However, this can only be achieved if you are willing to reach out. We believe that this approach will result in a healthier and more productive community with lower physical, mental, and medical costs for you and your loved ones.
