Do I always have to see the same doctor?
We encourage people to get to know one doctor but for convenience you are welcome to see any of the doctors or nurses who are available. We recommend for continuity of your care that if you have an on-going condition that you see your usual doctor where practical
Can a doctor see me at home?
Home visits may be made at a doctor’s discretion. Although only if you are very unwell and cannot make it to the surgery. We cannot always visit urgently. This service is not intended to replace urgent medical care.
Fees begin at $350. Additional charges may apply.
Who do I see when my doctor is away?
At Health New Lynn if your regular doctor is away or unavailable you can see any of our doctors. If you are not sure who you should see, our practice nurses will be happy to advise you.
Why is my GP often not ready to see me on time?
We do our best to keep to appointment times. However, we place priority on giving each patient the attention they need and it is often difficult to anticipate how long this will take. Sometimes the doctors have to look after someone urgently or liaise with the hospital before they can see you. Please let our receptionists know if you are concerned about the amount of time you have been waiting.
