About Bishopdale Medical

A general practice at 1 Eastling Street in Bishopdale, Christchurch, which says it has provided care to the community for more than 50 years. The practice is culturally diverse, with Hindi and Māori speaking staff. Phone 03 359 8591. Opening hours are Monday to Friday, 8.30am to 5pm. The practice is taking enrolments, and the website asks people to phone reception to check whether it is accepting new patients at the time.

Services include drivers licence medical certificates, which must be booked through reception, and cervical smears, which are booked with a usual GP or the practice nurse. Patients can use the ManageMyHealth portal, free of charge. Registration is done in person with photo ID. Repeat prescriptions can be ordered online, and blood test results can be viewed through the portal. The practice says it has a zero tolerance approach to abuse towards staff or patients.

Reviews are mixed. One reviewer has been seeing a doctor at the practice for years and finds them knowledgeable, and says another doctor was great with their child. Other reviewers say the practice's rating is lower than it should be, and one says the experience with one of the doctors was poor.
