Mānawatia a Matariki.
Happy Māori New Year

Our July & August Bookings:

As we welcome the Māori New Year, we would like to thank our patients and community for the trust you place in our team. It is our privilege to care for and support you throughout the year.

Matariki is a special time to reflect on the past, celebrate the present, and look forward to the future. We wish you and your whānau a peaceful, safe, and joyful Matariki.

During this time our clinical team will be on leave from the 8 July to 27 July. We appreciate your patience during this time, and our regular clinical services will resume on 28 July.
