We cater for all acute and long-term illnesses found in general practice. Our centre has been endorsed by ACC as a Level 2 Accident & Medical Centre and is equipped to a very high standard with acute treatment bays to take care of most types of accidents or medical emergencies.

Enrolled patients with a GP appointment have the option of being transported to the centre by our free pick up van service which operates Monday to Friday. Plenty of parking is available directly outside the centre, and a cafe is available for patients and visitors.

We encourage patients to register with one of our GPs for continuity of care. We run a number of nurse-based clinics throughout the week. These include well child clinics, immunisations, sexual health, diabetes, cardio-vascular health, asthma, arthritis, smoking cessation, wellness (diet, exercise and lifestyle), women's health including cervical smears and advice on breast screening.

Our services also include suturing of wounds, application of fracture casts, and allergy treatment. With physiotherapy and x-ray services on site, we also treat a lot of sporting injuries, and we are the preferred medical services provider for Sports Manawatu. Minor surgery such as removal of cysts and moles, excision of ingrown toenails and vasectomies are carried out in a special theatre in our new centre.

We carry out pre- and post-employment medicals, drivers, and immigration medicals, and Dr Ralph Saxe provides Australian immigration medicals. Audiometry and spirometry are also available.
