I sincerely hope you are taking care during this COVID-19 pandemic and I understand that these times can be unsettling, particularly if you are experiencing health issues.
As you will be aware, New Zealand is now in Stage 4 lockdown and therefore my consulting rooms at 148 Gillies Avenue and 1 Cowan Street are now closed. Rest assured however, that my team and I are still available and are happy to take referrals. We are working from home and we are still able to assist you via telephone or email. We can also provide a video or phone consultation as an alternative.
If after consulting with you I feel it is necessary to see you in person, then I can arrange an appointment. Alternatively, if it is an urgent matter then I will arrange for you to be seen through your local DHB. However, I remain optimistic that we can sort out most issues without having to see you face to face at this point in time.
The above measures are in line with the Government recommendations. The aim is to keep you, your doctor and our staff caring for you, safe.
I will be returning back to my normal schedule once the Government feels it is safe to ease the restrictions on isolation.
(Please note: if you have a temperature of more than 37.5 degrees and you have symptoms suggestive of COVID-19, please contact Healthline on 0800 358 5453 in the first instance.)
