About 1 Health

1 Health Wigram is an integrated medical and dental centre located at 1 Henry Wigram Drive, Christchurch, offering GP consultations, dental care, aesthetics, and occupational health services all under one roof. Open seven days a week, the clinic was founded by Dr Bernard Teo on the belief that healthcare should never feel rushed — with longer appointments, same-doctor continuity, and genuine personalised care at its core.

The GP team handles everything from routine consultations and skin checks to travel vaccinations, ear wax cleaning, driver's licence medicals, cortisone injections, minor surgery, and after-hours access seven days a week. The dental clinic, led by Dr Jennifer Tirtawijaya (BDS Hons, Otago), uses digital intra-oral scanning, offers emergency dental care and weekend appointments, and takes a no-upselling approach to treatment. Aesthetics services — including anti-wrinkle injections, SkinPen® microneedling, and skin boosters — round out a genuinely comprehensive offering.

Enrolled members of the 1 Health Club gain continuity with the same doctor across the week, extended appointment times, after-hours access, and preferential rates with trusted local partners including physios, gyms, and optometrists. The clinic accepts Afterpay and Southern Cross Health Insurance, and serves patients from Wigram, Hornby, Halswell, Prebbleton, West Melton, Rolleston, and beyond.

1 Health Wigram: Christchurch's Integrated GP and Dental Clinic Open 7 Days a Week

Most medical centres make you choose between convenience and quality. 1 Health Wigram was built to offer both. Located at 1 Henry Wigram Drive, this Christchurch-owned clinic brings together GP care, dentistry, aesthetics, and occupational health under one roof — open seven days a week, including weekends and after hours.

Founded by Dr Bernard Teo (MB ChB Otago, FRNZCGP), 1 Health was established on a simple but meaningful idea: that patients deserve more than a 15-minute slot. The clinic's philosophy is built around longer appointments, continuity with the same doctor, and genuinely integrated care across medical and dental disciplines.

The 1 Health Club: A Different Kind of Patient Membership

At the heart of 1 Health's model is the 1 Health Club — a membership that gives enrolled patients same-doctor continuity across the week, extended GP appointments when needed, and after-hours GP access seven days a week. Members also receive preferential rates with a network of trusted local wellness partners, including physios, gyms, and optometrists.

The membership is designed to make healthcare feel less transactional and more like an ongoing relationship. As Dr Teo puts it, the aim is for patients to feel heard, supported, and empowered — not processed.

A Full Clinical Team Across Multiple Specialties

The GP team includes Dr Teo himself — who has special interests in dermatology, occupational medicine, and point-of-care ultrasound — alongside Dr Alice Turner (FRNZCGP, with postgraduate diplomas in Paediatrics, Obstetrics, and Medical Gynaecology) and GP Registrar Dr Beth Hanson, who brings expertise in sports and preventative medicine.

On the dental side, Lead Dentist Dr Jennifer Tirtawijaya (BDS Hons, Otago) has been serving Christchurch patients since 2014. The dental clinic uses digital intra-oral scanning — no messy impressions — and takes a no-upselling approach: patients receive honest assessments and only the care they genuinely need.

Beyond GP and dental, 1 Health offers a dedicated aesthetics service (anti-wrinkle injections, SkinPen® microneedling, skin boosters, and blemish removal), as well as a full occupational health offering that covers pre-employment medicals, workplace drug and alcohol testing, commercial driver medicals, and health monitoring.

AfterPay is accepted, and Southern Cross Health Insurance is supported. The clinic serves patients from Wigram, Hornby, Halswell, Westmorland, Prebbleton, West Melton, Darfield, and Rolleston.
