Paeroa Medical Centre

Welcome to Paeroa Medical Centre

WE PROVIDE COMPREHENSIVE PRIMARY HEALTH CARE WITH A REPUTATION FOR EXCELLENCE!

Paeroa Medical Centre operates from brand new purpose built premises in the centre of town offering comprehensive primary health care to the local community. Our team of doctors and nurses work on an appointment basis during the week but make provision for emergencies at all times. We are an accredited teaching practice so we often have doctors undergoing further training and medical students in the practice.

We are committed to providing high quality healthcare to the local population and have been involved in quality initiatives and practice development activities for many years.

The COVID-19 Emergency has made General Practice review the way we work.

Be reassured that we are still open to provide services for you but the ways that you connect with us have changed

At Alert Level 1, we are able to offer normal general practice services. You can book for in-person, phone or video consultations with the doctor – just ask the receptionist when you book. You can also book routine appointments with our nurses for cervical smears, immunisations and other injections, dressings, health advice and other services.

When you arrive at the Medical Centre, we will still be asking you questions about respiratory illness and COVID contact – PLEASE BE HONEST with us about this – we do this to keep our staff and our community safe.

If you do have a respiratory illness, we will still see you, but we are managing these consultations in a different way. You will be placed on a call list, a doctor will call you back to check on your symptoms and then arrange for you to come to the clinic in the afternoon for an assessment and COVID swab (if required).

Remember to sanitise your hands on the way in, wear a mask if you have one and sign in using the QR code and NZ Tracer app or report to reception to be added to our daily register.

Remember, we are still here for you, but CALL US FIRST.

COVID-19 Vaccinations

We are pleased to inform you that we are an approved vaccination centre and participating in the rollout of COVID-19 vaccinations in Waikato.

We are currently vaccinating Group 3 - if you have not already booked, you can ring reception for your appointment. We are booking both doses when you ring, to ensure we can plan our clinics accurately.

Please be patient when you call, as our phone system can get very overloaded with calls - afternoons are often a little less busy.

Group 3 includes everyone over age 65, those under 65 living with defined long term health conditions or disabilities.

See Ministry of Health and Unite against Covid-19 websites for further details and tools to check your eligibility.

Please note these vaccines are by appointment only - we do not have capacity for walk-ins.

While our focus is on our enrolled patients, we are also trying to provide enough capacity to vaccinate other Paeroa residents who are now eligible for vaccination.
