Welcome to our practice
At The Doctors New Lynn we provide a comprehensive, convenient, and very affordable family general practice healthcare service, with pharmacy, radiology department, and acupuncture onsite as well. We offer a number of specialised programmes, including immunisations, travel vaccinations, ongoing screening for breast and cervical cancer, and wellness and healthy ageing clinics.
Flu Vaccines are now available - these can be done with no appointment needed.
We have the fully funded trivalent as well as the non-funded Quadrivalent vaccines.
Get yours to protect yourself from the flu this season.
Minor surgery including circumcisions are available along with traditional Chinese acupuncture. As part of National Hauora Coalition PHO, we can keep our patient fees at a very affordable level. Our staff speak ten different languages including Mandarin and Cantonese.
A standard appointment is 15 minutes and can cover 1-2 issues, depending on complexity. If you have more items to discuss please book an extended consultation. Our team can help you book for additional time if not everything can be covered in the one appointment. Additional fees apply to the additional appointments.
The past few years have been stressful for everyone as we have dealt with the many challenges that Covid has presented. We acknowledge that our patients have experienced difficulties as a result, and our team has also undergone significantly increased workloads and pressures. We aim to provide safe and respectful care and we appreciate the same from our patients.
Walk In Service
We operate a walk-in service for acute problems. This is designed to allow for on-the-day, urgent problems. Patients will be triaged by the nursing team and then seen on the basis of medical need and then order of arrival. For your regular, ongoing medical problems please make an appointment to see the doctor. Drivers licensing medicals, WINZ medicals, diving, and insurance medicals cannot be accommodated in the walk-in clinic and will not be completed, 30 minute appointments are required for these medicals.
Prepayments
Due to rising bad debt and ever increasing costs, from 1 February 2024 all visits must be paid prior to seeing the doctor.
Debt Management
Unpaid invoices of over 90 days will be passed to a debt collection agency and additional fees will be applied by them.
