Arghhhhh I have typed this three times.

Penny is great. She was my doctor up at the hosp when I was up there for the *couterminationgh*.
Mark treats me like a bit of a nut sometimes (not in a mean way) but that just reflects that he is accurate judge of character.

Their number is 9399551

I haven't had to deal with things like reflux with them, but everything else has been great. And it's just little things like the receptionist remembering who we are, the nurses being FANTASTIC when giving imms, and being able to call in the morning and get an appointment for Han that day (or that morning if I ask nicely).]]> Fri, 06 Oct 2006 11:33:53 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3755&PID=76487&title=dr-costs#76487 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3755&PID=76444&title=dr-costs#76444 Author: Guests

they have now tried to charge me $15 for a repeat prescription for ella or $25 to fax it through to a pharmacy here!!! $10 to fax!?!?!?! I have cory ringing the kelburn med centre and finding out how we go about transferring to penny clifford. Ellas due her jabs when we get back so ill go there. I need to talk to someone decent and not in a hurry about ellas reflux.

Nikki is she pretty patient?]]> Fri, 06 Oct 2006 09:20:12 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3755&PID=76444&title=dr-costs#76444 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3755&PID=72201&title=dr-costs#72201 Author: Guests

we pay $16 for our doctor - i think it is worth it though, to get a good gp. Of course, i would prefer not to have to pay, but there is a gp shortage so i have to be lucky that our gp has known x since she was born.
The government subsidise for under 6, but if the surgerys cost is more than that, they will pass it on to you the consumer. ]]> Sat, 16 Sep 2006 13:10:32 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3755&PID=72128&title=dr-costs#72128 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3755&PID=72120&title=dr-costs#72120 Author: lizzle

I used to go to the free one in Palmy, but found they were really crap - with diagnosis and with children - and with waiting. Why should I have to wait 45mins when I made an appointment!!!!! With two kiddies!!!

Anyway, i found one where I had to pay $10 for kids, but it was sooooo worth it.]]> Sat, 16 Sep 2006 12:43:43 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3755&PID=72120&title=dr-costs#72120 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3755&PID=72115&title=dr-costs#72115 Author: Guests

yep they can add their own costs and each odc is different... which is sucky.. we have weekend and afterhours surcharges.. (which is always when the kids get sick) Although.. SOME doctors are nice and if you state that it is a follow up visit.. within a couple of days, and for the SAME problem that you saw them for originally(ie they were wrong or it has got worse) some will be not charge you.

Hi Jezsika, just wanted to ask if you & Ella are registered at your doctor's? Just asked because I know that at my doctor, if I wasn't registered it would cost $30 per visit for my kids. I get charged $6 per visit & with my CS card even that gets wiped off. I was told only Well Child visits & immunisations are free. Everything else is subsidised by the government up to 5 years old though. ]]> Fri, 15 Sep 2006 17:10:24 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3755&PID=71965&title=dr-costs#71965 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3755&PID=71953&title=dr-costs#71953 Author: Guests

Ok im just wondering if everyone has to pay to see the dr for their baby? If not can anyone recommend one near johnsonville or newlands?

If you do how much do u pay per visit?

Today i went to see the nurses at my drs surgery and the treatment room dr put a drop of silver nitrate on ellas belly button to dry it up and i was charged $15 for 2 secs work its kinda a rip off really! What annoys me more is i was there 2 weeks ago for the same thing and was prescribed bactroban for it and there was no need coz its not infected and yet again i was charged $15 and $5 for the cream.
