Cervical Smears and HPV swabs are an important service that we offer to all women of eligible age. We can also provide emergency contraception and sexual health checks.

For general health issues which may include medication reviews, diabetes clinics, sexual health and contraception, heart disease and stroke risk assessments.

We offer diabetic and heart health checks. This can include lifestyle and medication advice. We can provide referrals to support services such as Green Prescription if appropriate.

Mental Wellness is as important as physical wellness to our health. We are interested in listening to your thoughts and feelings and have higher training in this area. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a form of counselling that uses mindfulness to encourage self-acceptance. We have Health Improvement Practitioners (HIPs) with special training in ACT who can see you to support your mental health and well-being.

Although many of our practitioners are female, we have experience with men’s health needs. We are happy to discuss any issues that may arise.

Prescriptions for regular medication can be requested via Manage My Health, in person, or by phone. To ensure your medication is still right for you a regular review with your Dr is needed. Please talk to the nurse if you would like more information about this.

As a nation, we are struggling with increasing levels of obesity and diabetes. Dinah has a special interest in low-carb nutrition and its therapeutic possibilities to control diabetes and other medical conditions.

All of our GPs offer skin cancer checks and perform minor surgery as required. In addition, Dr Katie Maver is accredited by the Skin Cancer College Australasia, and is able to offer additional services in this area.

Our nurses offer comprehensive smoking cessation support – if you are considering quitting give us a call and make an appointment to help get you started.

You may require laboratory tests including blood tests. Our practice policy is that either a GP or a Nurse will only phone you if you have significant abnormal results or results from tests that require a change to your health management. You will not be contacted if your results are in normal range and do not require any changes as a result.

You can access your lab results once they have been checked and filed, via Manage My Health.  You can sign up to Manage My Health online or contact us about how to register.

We are able to advise about all aspects of women’s health issues, including fertility, periods, contraception and menopause.

We provide care for wounds, both acutely and ongoing, removal of stitches, liquid nitrogen treatment, and many other services for our patients.

We offer vaccinations as per the New Zealand Immunisation Schedule. We also offer other immunisations if needed. If you have any questions about immunisation, feel free to come and talk to us and we will happily answer your questions.
