 Topic: GP’s on North Shore anyone ?
Posted: 24 May 2006 at 1:19pm |

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 !

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?

Thanks Erin,
I will check her out ! I need someone that is easy-ish to get in and see / accepting new patients I guess. Still not sure if I really need to bother going in on account of this cold as there is nothing that can really be done aside from what I'm already doing ! (Rest, fluids, vitamins, panadol...)

yeah. Unless its at the stage that might require anitbiotics (although not sure if we're allowed them anyway)
I forgot to mention that she was also recommended to me by a friend who is a nurse and asked around for good GPs over this way.

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*

You could contact Monique or Angela at Sunset Rd if you don't mind the drive. I see Monique (that's who's delivering our girl) and Sarah Beth sees Angela. They rock there!
PM if you want the number.

I second Paws reco, they are awesome. $55 for a consult, but they are really good and thorough. I see Angela and she will be delivering our children (when I fall pregnant), she is awesome!

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

Awwwww... don't feel bad ! I was going to go to Angela first but the appointments were a bit early, and mum wanted to come over, so I went for one that was later in the afternoon and is with Monique.
