Applicants for New Zealand visas may be required to provide medical and chest x-ray certificates to demonstrate an acceptable standard of health. Immigration New Zealand uses eMedical, an online platform for processing immigration health examinations. The examining doctor records the applicant’s health examination results in eMedical then electronically submits them to Immigration New Zealand where they are associated with the applicant’s visa application once it is submitted. Only doctors who have been approved by Immigration NZ are able to conduct the medical examinations. The immigration officer who assesses the applicant’s visa application will determine whether they have an acceptable standard of health. Visa applicants requiring an immigration medical examination must make an appointment with an eMedical enabled clinic on Immigration New Zealand’s approved list.
This is done on selected days - please call 095284242 for enquiries

Our tongue-tie release services for infants offer a specialized approach to addressing ankyloglossia, a condition where a tight lingual frenulum restricts tongue movement. This can lead to significant breastfeeding challenges, such as difficulty latching, prolonged feeding times, and maternal nipple pain. The tongue-tie release procedure, or frenotomy, is a quick and minimally invasive surgery aimed at freeing the tongue to enhance mobility and function, thereby improving breastfeeding outcomes.
However, the procedure is not without controversy. Some experts argue that the benefits of tongue-tie release, particularly concerning breastfeeding, may be overstated and that conservative management or alternative techniques should be considered first.
Despite this, evidence suggests that tongue-tie release can significantly alleviate breastfeeding problems in many cases. Research has shown improvements in latch, reduced maternal pain, and increased breastfeeding success rates post-procedure.
The decision to proceed with frenotomy should be made after thorough consultation, considering the individual needs of the infant and family.

Our primary care MSK (musculoskeletal) joint steroid injection services offer effective relief for individuals suffering from shoulder and knee pain due to conditions such as arthritis, bursitis, or tendonitis. These injections deliver a corticosteroid medication directly into the affected joint, targeting inflammation and reducing pain.
For shoulder conditions like frozen shoulder or rotator cuff tendonitis, and knee conditions such as osteoarthritis or patellar tendonitis, steroid injections can provide significant pain relief and improve mobility. The procedure is minimally invasive and typically performed in an outpatient setting, offering convenience and quick recovery for patients.
While steroid injections can offer substantial relief, they are not a permanent solution and may need to be repeated periodically. It's essential to discuss the potential benefits and risks with our healthcare professionals, who specialize in musculoskeletal conditions and joint injections.
At our clinic, we are committed to providing compassionate care and personalized treatment plans tailored to each patient's specific needs. Our goal is to help alleviate pain, restore function, and improve the quality of life for individuals dealing with shoulder and knee joint issues through our MSK joint steroid injection services.

We understand the frustration that can arise from waiting for your appointment, and we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused. Our goal is to provide each patient with the highest quality of care, which sometimes requires additional time beyond what is scheduled.
Our doctors strive to adhere to 15-minute consultation intervals to ensure accessibility and affordability for all patients. However, certain factors, such as unexpected emergencies, complex medical conditions, or patients requiring urgent hospital admissions, can lead to unavoidable delays. These situations are managed as swiftly and efficiently as possible to minimize disruption to scheduled appointments.
To help streamline your visit and reduce wait times, we encourage patients to prioritize one or two main concerns per appointment. For more complex issues or multiple concerns, booking consecutive appointments or discussing your needs with our reception team when scheduling can help ensure adequate time is allocated.
We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in helping us provide thorough and effective care to each patient. If you have any further questions or concerns about your appointment, please do not hesitate to contact our reception team, who will be happy to assist you.

At our practice, we embrace the benefits of a team approach to healthcare, which ensures you receive the best possible care, even if you don't always see the same doctor. While we strive to accommodate requests to see a specific doctor, the nature of modern healthcare means that doctors may work varied schedules or have limited availability. This allows us to maintain flexible appointment options and respond promptly to urgent medical needs.
The advantage of our team-based approach is that it enriches your care experience with diverse perspectives and expertise. Our doctors regularly collaborate, discussing cases and sharing insights to ensure continuity and comprehensive management of your health. Rest assured, your medical records are accessible to all our healthcare providers, ensuring that each doctor is fully informed and equipped to address your healthcare needs effectively.

We appreciate your patience and understanding regarding the wait time to see your preferred doctor.
At our practice, we operate with a team-based approach to healthcare, which ensures that all patients receive timely and comprehensive care, even when specific doctors may have limited availability.
The current healthcare landscape faces challenges such as a national shortage of clinicians, increasing administrative responsibilities, and an aging population with complex health needs. These factors contribute to the demand for appointments exceeding our capacity at times, resulting in scheduling constraints.
Additionally, our practice operates under a capitation funding system, which allocates resources based on patient enrollment rather than fee-for-service. While this system supports accessible and equitable healthcare, it can impact the availability of individual doctors depending on their patient load and responsibilities within the practice.
We strive to manage these challenges proactively by optimizing our scheduling processes and ensuring that all patients receive continuity of care.
If you have an urgent health need and request, please leave a message to the medical team so that we can proactively manage your condition before your appointment.
Our admin and receptionist team are very proactive to ensure all our patienet needs are addressed in a timely manner.
