Staff changes
As many of you may be aware, Dr. Maysa has recently finished up here at Mt Smart Medical. Although we are sad to see her go, we are so grateful to Dr. Maysa and the care that she has provided to so many of our patients.
Patients who normally see Dr. Maysa can continue to book in as normal, and see Dr. Samuel as available. For a CareHQ virtual appointment, please contact reception on 09 579 0563 and we can book you in. A female doctor is available upon request.
