You are welcome to use our drive through COVID-19 Sample/Swabbing service in New Lynn - 8:30am - 5:00pm during the week and 9-12pm on the weekends. Depending on the demand for the swabbing service on the weekend - it can also be open until 2:45pm.

Thank you to those of you who visited our drive through COVID-19 sample testing service – we did not expect to receive such a high demand for our service.

We can follow up and inform you of the results if you haven’t received the text message. Thank you again for choosing our COVID-19 testing drive through service during this difficult period for our community.

We are pleased to inform our patients we have updated our telecommunication systems – this means longer experiencing random disconnections, the ability to leave a voice message, select connection options and providing a direct line for repeat prescriptions. It is our hope the new telecommunication system will provide you with a more positive service provision experience.

Additionally, our Primary Health Organization is funding our medical center to have Health Improvement Practitioners and Health Coaches provide free social, mental, and clinical support for our patients in both Golf Road and New Lynn. Please do not hesitate to contact our Practice Nurse to see how our health care professionals/providers can assist you and/or your family.

Covid-19 Testing at Our Clinic

We will ask if you have any Covid symptoms such as cough, cold, sore throat, runny nose or flu-like symptoms or if you're concerned about Covid-19.

We do Covid Testing for all our enrolled patients and often for casual patients where there are appointments available. Please phone us to arrange your test - we are unable to take walk-ins for Covid testing but we can quickly schedule you an appointment.

Safety is our priority. We do COVID-19 testing in your car where possible or in an isolation room if an assessment is required. We have strict infection prevention standards in place.
