What We Do
Mt Eden Medical Centre
“We believe that the best medical care is achieved
through an ongoing relationship with your own GP.”
The foundation of New Zealand’s health system is general practice, which makes expert healthcare affordable and readily available. Our GPs and nurses at Mt Eden Medical Centre are in an excellent position to get to know you well and understand your individual healthcare needs.
As well as assisting you to deal with illnesses, we want to help you to maintain your good health. When you come to see us at Mt Eden Medical Centre, we are thinking broadly about your well-being and we are able to provide a wide range of services, as they are needed by you from time to time.
For example, with our focus on prevention, we have a reminder system (“recalls”) for when you are due for routine checks such as smears, cholesterol blood tests and immunisations. Even when referral for specialist advice or tests is needed, your doctor will help you with the process and continue to manage your ongoing healthcare needs.
Mt Eden Medical Centre is committed to the principles of the Treaty of Waitangi – Te Tiriti O Waitangi. We recognise the special relationship that Māori have with their culture, traditions and taonga.
We value cultural diversity and we strive to be sensitive to our patients’ cultural backgrounds.
