GP & Nurse Consultations

 

Nau mai, haere mai. Welcome, welcome.

We strive to provide the best quality general practice. We work hard at health promotion, disease prevention, and healthy balance for life-long wellbeing.

Our continuous vision is to make Te Raki Paewhenua (the North Shore) a better place for our children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Many of our clinic staff have been with us for more than 10 years, some for 20 years, so you can be assured it is a safe place to work and have yours and your family’s health needs assessed and treated.

Vastly experienced doctors, nurses, healthcare assistants, and administrative staff of diverse ethnicities all serve to create Te Puna’s rich and unique korowai takitini. The name ‘korowai takitini’ (meaning cloak of many parts) was given by Kaumatua John Marsden who himself developed it from the ancient whakatauki ‘E hara taku toa i te taki tahi e ngari i te toa takitini. Translation: ‘My fame is not of my own, but of the many involved.
