We had a brilliant Doc called Anna Catterwood and she was up at the Glenfield Medical Centre. She was fabulous! I have no idea if she there anymore!!!]]> Fri, 26 May 2006 16:17:54 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2586&PID=48798&title=gps-on-north-shore-anyone#48798 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2586&PID=48592&title=gps-on-north-shore-anyone#48592 Author: aimeejoy

Sarah, it s so nice having a doctor that seems to actually care aye?! My doc delivered Hannah and she cried when she was born - I will never forget that. She is so lovely, but going on leave until next year

Btw, was just being nosey reading this thread as I dont live on the shore - but I used too!

You don't mean the ladies at the reception desk? One of them seemed onto it and the other one was... well, the one who buggered up which doctor I was seeing LOL Again, not that I have a problem with that though !

And Sarah, it looks like good old sinusitis, as well as fluid in my ears, so a nice hefty dose of infection that means I'll be off work until Monday - I've got some antibiotics but she said to wait on taking those, as it *might* still go away by itself, if not I start those Sunday - mmm yum yum (NOT) ]]> Thu, 25 May 2006 19:58:42 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2586&PID=48583&title=gps-on-north-shore-anyone#48583 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2586&PID=48575&title=gps-on-north-shore-anyone#48575 Author: AnnaD

mwhahahahah you have sucummed ot the powers of Angela...

No really she is so nice. I still remember her face when I had chicken pox (I was 19) she just looked like she felt so sorry for me. I have never had reason to be unhappy with her (or any other doctor/nurse there for that matter) service.

Oh and if you are asthmatic, you can see the nurse there for asthma reviews, for only $20 and she can perscribe your drugs as well!]]> Thu, 25 May 2006 16:43:00 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2586&PID=48560&title=gps-on-north-shore-anyone#48560 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2586&PID=48550&title=gps-on-north-shore-anyone#48550 Author: jax

Well just to perk you up a tad more, when I bowled up to the reception desk the lady told me I'd be seeing Angela and not Monique - oddly enough because I'd made her confirm which doctor it was I'd be seeing when I made the appointment on the phone !

Ok, problem solved ! I have an appointment with Monique at 2:30 this afternoon, and as I mentioned in another post... a) I don't pay for health insurance for nothing and b) I may as well go and at least get a Dr's cert.


Edited to add: Oh, and my mum has a chiropractor's appointment this morning on the Shore, so she is going to come over afterwards and bring me some more Lemsip

You could ask your midwife for recommendations.
I ended up asking my Plunket Nurse as I had no idea about doctors in Wellington and she gave me the name of a great doctor who specialises in children and women. Ended up having her as my Doc up at the women's unit when I had my *couterminationgh*

Hi
I have been to Dr Mary Field Oakley at Birkenhead Medical Centre a couple of times because I work in Birkenhead. She seems really nice and available, which makes a change cause I could never get into see my old doctor. I do really like her, but because we live in Avondale I was going to start looking for a family GP round there - anyone have any recommendations?]]> Wed, 24 May 2006 13:27:38 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2586&PID=48167&title=gps-on-north-shore-anyone#48167 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2586&PID=48162&title=gps-on-north-shore-anyone#48162 Author: jax

Hi folks,

With this damn cold and some prompting from my mum, I figure maybe I should start investigating signing up with a GP here on the North Shore. Except I wouldn't have the foggiest where to start, DH hasn't had one of his own well... in forever, we normally just take him to a 24 hour / open late clinic. I still have my old GP but she is over near Mission Bay and only does 3 days a week, so I need someone I can get to quicker if needed.

I would prefer a female doctor, so are there any out there you ladies could recommend ?? I'm in Beach Haven FYI

Thanks !]]> Wed, 24 May 2006 13:19:49 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2586&PID=48162&title=gps-on-north-shore-anyone#48162
