Practice Background

Oak House Medical Centre is a fully independent General Practice surrounded by its own gardens and provides a friendly and easily accessible service. Nestled under the grand old oak trees at the end of Queen Street it is easy to see where the name comes from. The emphasis is on a stress-free visit, and with plenty of parking and with a large staff for the practice population we aim to provide timely, high quality care. Established in 1992 it was taken on by the current owners Barney and Marion Clayton in 2008 when the founding doctor moved away to Christchurch.

Newly renovated, the practice now contains six consultation rooms, an emergency/surgical suite and extended waiting areas.

Appointments

A standard appointment time is 15 minutes. However, some services require more time. These include but are not limited to Cervical Screening, Driving Licence Medicals, ECGs, Immunisations, Travel Consults, Minor Surgery/Procedures, Molemate. Please let staff know at the time of booking so the appropriate time can be allocated and you can be given an idea of the extra cost that may apply.

Emergencies will be seen as they arise. These take priority over booked appointments and we appreciate your patience when this happens.

Fees for Service

Payment is expected on the day of consultation.
A detailed price list of current fees can be found at reception.
We are pleased to be offering the new rates for current Community Card Service holder from 1st December 2018. This includes not only general medical visits but also ACC consults.
