We went to radius at Rototuna once with DH, it was fro acc. and becasue that wasn't our dos we had to sit and wait, but it was only 45 which is quicker than anglesea's 1.5hrs. He said thats a good doc. Was an Indian man.

I go to the Ham East Medical Centre. Have seen a few doctors there and all have been great. The nurses are good too. They have lots of doctors which means we can always get appts with someone there, they have clinics for drop ins and they are open late (? to 8pm) some nights. Also, there are several chemists handy, a bloods lab, physio ...  I have also had a few dealings with them via work and they have always been good to deal with from that perspective as well.

I go to 5XRoads medical centre and I see a lady called Colleen, she is South African and has about four kids of her own and she is really really nice. All kids are free under 6 there too.   I used to see her because I lived about four houses down from the medical centre, but I have moved now and it's harder to get there but we still go there.]]> Tue, 12 May 2009 16:38:38 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=26467&PID=684466&title=waikato-doctors-recommendation#684466 <![CDATA[waikato doctors recommendation : We go to Master&#039;s Ave Medical...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=26467&PID=684417&title=waikato-doctors-recommendation#684417 Author: busyissy

I rang around a few places to find my doc coz I wanted a woman. She's Indian, she's nice but hard to understand sometimes. There is also a male doc there he's chinese but his english is better than mine. We went to him once when my doc was out of appointments. Ryan had bad Nappy rash and we needed to be seen straight away. He was brilliant.

We are at St Andrews Medical Centre and I really like both doctors there. They've never made me feel silly for taking the kids in even if there wasn't really anything wrong with them. They both have a really good bedside manner and are happy to answer as many questions as needed. Both doctors have children & one is a grandfather.

What I also like about the clinic is they have open clinic every morning and night so you can see a doctor on anyday though you may have to wait. Also dr visits are subsidised if you are enrolled with them. So for an adult you only pay something like $36 - kids of course are free.]]> Tue, 12 May 2009 15:03:01 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=26467&PID=684356&title=waikato-doctors-recommendation#684356 <![CDATA[waikato doctors recommendation : I don&#039;t think you have to...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=26467&PID=684281&title=waikato-doctors-recommendation#684281 Author: Hopes
