Dr Susan Bargh is a doctor at 378 Ilam Rd in Bryndwr, Christchurch.
A good doctor listens, examines you carefully and explains what they find and what the options are, in plain language and without rushing. In New Zealand, most people enrol with a general practice, which gives lower fees and continuity of care, so ask whether the practice is taking new patients and how enrolment works. When choosing a doctor, ask about opening hours, how long it takes to get an appointment, what the fees are, whether there are nurse clinics and how urgent problems and after-hours care are handled. Regulars know that booking early in the day often helps, that telehealth and online booking can save time, that bringing a list of symptoms and medicines makes a visit more useful and that ACC may cover injuries. Keep a copy of your medical records and ask about repeat prescriptions.
