Welcome to White Cross Greers Road!
(previously known as Greers Road Medical Centre).
We are an appointment only General Practice clinic, looking after an enrolled patient base.
Although we don’t see casual patients, you’re welcome to enrol with us. Same day GP appointments are usually available.
We’ve been proudly caring for our community and serving the Bishopdale, Bryndwr, and Burnside communities for over 30 years. Originally founded as Greers Road Medical Centre by Drs Catherine Spencer-Taylor, David Mann, and Jonathan Davies, the clinic began in a converted house before moving to its current purpose-built facility in 2010.
We are proud to care for members of Christchurch’s vibrant Bhutanese refugee community, which has become an important part of our clinic whānau over the years.
We are also a teaching clinic, committed to supporting the next generation of healthcare professionals. Dr Catherine Spencer-Taylor has mentored numerous GP registrars over the past decade, and continues to do so today.
Our network just got stronger with Riccarton Clinic now part of our care team!
That means we now have 6 clinics in Christchurch working together as a network, to support our clinicians and our patients.
