The physician on duty here saw me quickly, prescribed a medication or two - it was all such a blur - and I coughed all the way home, but I was so grateful to have been seen so quickly!

I was not given any medicine and the Dr felt I was super conscious. However Dr Rekha was so professional, considerate, so compassionate and so friendly. She spend a lot of time listening to me and asking question to find out the problem. I will recommend every one to go and see Dr Rekha. She is awesome.

Nothing is more important than keeping your health in check, and as someone who has suffered from…read moreear problems all my life, I have learnt this the hard way, so now I make sure to keep my ears happy. Hearing loss is a pretty common occurrence these days, that ringing in your ears could be a sign of something bigger at play so why not go get it checked out at National Hearing Care in Takapuna, they have a free 15 minute hearing check so there's really no reason to keep putting it off. If you have any queries about your hearing in general, come ask the friendly team, they are there to help. If you have a hearing aid too, and if you are holidaying in Auckland (or a local) and run out of batteries this is a good place to stock up on supplies. They also can also refer you onto someone who can do ear syringing if you overdo it in the water at Takapuna Beach and get Swimmers ear, which is such a helpful service!

Ok, you may think it is strange to be reviewing such a thing as Diagnostic Medlab, but I think a…read moreplace that can make a usually very unpleasant experience more than bearable deserves a mention. So obviously no one loves coming to get a blood test, well some people might, but the majority of us don't. I've never really minded it - I liked getting them at school because of the time out of class and the lolly, and I kinda had a secret hope that someone would faint. I'm sorry, I'm a bad person. Diagnostic Medlab is the place you get referred to by your doctor to get some blood tests. I can only speak for this particular one, but I am sure they are all good, but seriously, the people that work here make the experience fine! I have only ever encountered women and they are all the type who you feel that even if you were about to faint or something, they would cal you 'love' or 'sweetheart' and pat your hair until you felt better. They are also super professional meaning no mucking round, no long waits and the best job possible. I'm not sure if you have a choice when it comes to places to get a needle in your arm, but just know that if you're on you way here, you're in good hands.

I have been enrolled as a regular patient at Glenfield Family Doctors since I moved to the shore a…read morefew years back and my most memorable experience here was meeting Dr Lydford for the first time, after realizing I was pregnant at around 4-5 weeks of pregnancy. At this stage Glenfield Family Doctors were at their old location inside the Pharmacy on the same road just a few numbers down to the left. Years on, I continue to visit Jocelyn for check up's and when I come down with the flu, and also bring my little 16 month old to visit her when he also gets a bug. I love the new location of 575 Glenfield, as they are situated inside a bungalow and it's very homely and bright. The reception waiting room has some great toys and games for my little toddler to amuse himself with while he waits his turn too which really helps ease the time. The doctors and nurses at Glenfield Family are a wonderful cheerful group of ladies, who are professional and experts in what they do. I am always well looked after in every respect of my health when I walk in the doors of this clinic. Thanks so much Glenfield Family!

Absolutely amazing, efficient care…read more Receptionist apologizes for a "long wait" time when I arrived without appointment. I was seen by the nurse within 15 minutes. Very shortly thereafter, Dr Ruoh Sim saw me. Even though it was the end of his shift, he heard me out on ALL my concerns and provided a solution for each one. I received a breathing treatment in the office, and the doctor gave me prescriptions before I left the office. Visit was 1 hour in total that included roughly 45 minutes of treatment time. Note: I am traveling from overseas, paid out of pocket, and had a flight scheduled for the following day. Dr Ruoh treated me with all of these factors in mind. Professional, kind, and thorough.

Absolute SHIT SHOW…read more last week I had appendicitis. The doctor originally, and I quote, said "the story for appendicitis doesn't sound convincing to me, I doubt it's appendicitis"..... 12 hours later? You have appendicitis.. like okay! Great! A diagnosis for my pain! That's what i'm supposed to think right? my surgery was then delayed an entire 3 days where I stayed in the surgery prep ward forced to at this point starve because I was constantly told to fast and "oh you'll be having the surgery today/soon!" Now I'm back a mere 6 days later after post op, I have almost identical pain and issues as to when I originally had appendicitis, what do they do in the first 24hrs? Absolutely NOTHING. I came through the ED, was told within an hour (for once I got to see the doctor fast - come at 7-8am or else you'll be waiting a minimum of 5hours) that I needed to get a CT scan done and that it should take 1-2hours. I was like "Great!".... then the ENTIRE day, I get told by the doctors yea yea well do the ct scan, only to then do ABSOLUTELY NO TESTS ALL DAY - not an ultrasound, nothing - make me fast ALL DAY and then decide not to do the CT scan at all at 7pm after I specifically told them id rather do it and go home if nothings wrong than waste a night here for you to not do it at all. 12 hours of being there for absolutely NOTHING because they refuse to get tests done to prove things or diagnose you. They'll have an idea (based off almost nothing) of what your issue might be caused by and then they'll STICK WITH IT WITH NO PROOF. Never ever go to north shore hospital. I've NEVER had any good times here. Unless you have a broken bone or are bleeding you will NOT BE SEEN.
