We’re providing our service in a new way to ensure you and your whanau remain safe. We're doing our part to support the COVID-19 response so when you phone us or visit the clinic we will ask if you have any cough, cold, or flu-like symptoms or if you're concerned about COVID-19 - let us know. This doesn't mean we think you have coronavirus, it's simply a small step we're taking to ensure we continue to keep our community safe and healthy. 

We're a Designated COVID-19 Testing Site

COVID-19 testing is free. Phone 09 634 5184 to arrange to be tested. You can also email us covid@oam.thedoctors.co.nz - use 'COVID Test' as the subject and please include:  Full name; Date of Birth; Address; Contact phone number; Details of the symptoms you are having (including their start date)

Our practice is safe to visit

Safety is our priority. Testing is done in your car where possible or in an isolation room if an assessment is required. This means when you visit us for other medical issues you won’t be exposed in any way. We have strict infection prevention standards in place, meaning staff are regularly wiping surfaces and keeping the practice clean and germ-free.
