A family GP clinic at 119 Sunnynook Road in Sunnynook, on Auckland's North Shore, opposite the Sunnynook Shopping Complex. The clinic has been in the community since 1970 and is led by Dr Rekha Nadakkavukaran, who took over the practice in 2018. Its team is female-led and multilingual.
The clinic offers general consultations, health check-ups, and advice on chronic conditions such as diabetes and heart disease. It also gives routine vaccinations, including flu shots and travel vaccines, and offers cervical smears, pregnancy testing, contraception advice and menopause support. Minor skin lesion treatment, mole removal and wound care are available, and women's health and skin care are among the clinic's interests. The website says new patients can enrol for free.
Patients say the staff are friendly and helpful, and that a same-day appointment was possible for one patient who had been with the clinic only briefly. One patient has been coming for 20 years. Appointments can be booked online, through the patient portal, or by phone, and the website asks patients not to message the clinic for bookings or test results. Our pick in Sunnynook for a family who wants a GP who has known the community for years.
