Working together for optimal health

We offer a comprehensive general practice service to the local area, which includes Mapua, Ruby Bay, Upper Moutere, Tasman and the coastal highway to Appleby, as well as to patients who live outside the area and choose to travel to Mapua.

Our aim is to work alongside each individual to achieve their best possible health and well-being. We have a great team of skilled and experienced staff working in a well-equipped, caring and friendly environment. 

The practice has achieved the Cornerstone national certification of excellence.

Getting an appointment

Consultations are by appointment although urgent problems can be seen as needed. Each appointment is normally for 15 minutes and we appreciate a phone call if you are going to be late or need to change the time. If appointments are not kept without letting us know in reasonable time to re-book them, a fee may be charged. We will also endeavour to contact you if we are running late due to accidents and emergency cases.

When booking appointments, you will be asked if you are experiencing any flu or cold-like symptoms. If that is the case, you will be asked to stay in your car and park in the back car park to wait for a clinician to collect you. This is to bypass the waiting room in order to minimise spread of infection to patients and staff.
