Description
MaxCare Medical Centre is a clinic focused on providing you with primary healthcare. As a primary healthcare provider, our role is to act as a first point of contact in order to determine whether we can treat you or whether we must refer you to a specialist for further care.
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.
