Hanneke is currently on maternity leave.

Rochelle is interested in women’s health, cardiovascular disease and is a Nurse Champion for diabetes and travel medicine.

"I like the huge variety of my job from vaccinating a baby to carrying out a travel medicine consultation, to performing a diabetic assessment. We have time to follow up with our patients and it's really good having the support of our team and management," says Rochelle.

Rochelle is very family oriented.  In her spare time she enjoys spending time with her son and watching movies.

Dr Malcolm Miller is a GP with a sense of adventure. He joined the team in June 2019 and works at The Doctors Huapai three weeks per month. 

Malcolm is a New Zealand trained GP who graduated from The University of Auckland in 2008.

He carried out his GP training in Auckland working at Kaipara Medical Centre, Lincoln Road Medical Centre and Waimauku Doctors.

Malcolm is vocationally registered, which means he has carried out further study and has passed comprehensive examinations set by the Royal New Zealand College of General Practitioners.

In addition to these examinations Malcolm has committed to an ongoing programme of study to keep up-to-date with the advances in general practice.

His participation in this study programme is audited. Passing the examinations and the commitment to the study programme confers on Malcom the status of specialist in general practice and is your assurance that this doctor is practicing to a high standard.

Malcolm is interested in helping people help themselves with long term chronic conditions such as diabetes and mental health problems.

"The Doctors Huapai has a good team culture.  The practice serves the community well and lives up to its patient focused message," says Malcolm.

Malcolm has two children and in his spare time he enjoys being in the outdoors and going on long distance motorbike rides.
