introducing Stijn de Ruijter

We are delighted to introduce Dr Stijn de Ruijter, who has joined our practice.

Stijn is an experienced GP from The Netherlands, and we welcome him to our beautiful town. He has a special interest in minor surgery and trauma care, and enjoys the mixture of clinical work that is provided by general practice and likes taking time with his patients and their relatives.

“We have chosen to move to New Zealand because its people are known overseas for their hospitality and the country is so beautiful”, says Stijn.
“The health care system is comparable to the Dutch system and some predecessors of ours were very enthusiastic about their experiences.”
Stijn will be working longer term with Radius Medical, Whakatane.
“We are looking forward to living in a safe, green and spacious environment with our two kids”, said Stijn. “We, as a family, would love to make a contribution to New Zealand society in return.”

Stijn is accepting new patients.

Drs Joanne & Christopher McKnight

Joanne_and_Christopher_McKnight Drs Joanne and Christopher McKnight recently joined us in Whakatane.

Both originally from the UK, Joanne and Chris have lived in New Zealand before, working as registrars at Hawkes Bay Hospital in 2010. They returned to the UK to complete their GP training, but missed New Zealand so much they decided to return. Looking for a smaller town on the coast, Whakatane fit the bill perfectly.
