Cashmere Health is a general practice at 91 Centaurus Road in Huntsbury, Christchurch. The website says it is open from 8:30am to 5pm, Monday to Friday, and that the practice is busy, so it pays to book ahead. A number of urgent appointments are kept free each day. The doctors' page shows when each doctor is generally available. Reception is on 03 332 1351, or reception@cashmerehealth.co.nz. Enrolment is open to people within the practice zone, and reception can confirm whether you live in it. For care outside hours, the website lists the 24 Hour Surgery, Healthline for free phone advice, and Need to Talk on 1737 for counselling. We hear there has been a temporary interruption to the online portal, and the practice is changing its management system.
Many customers praise the friendly staff and the caring receptionists. One describes a doctor as thorough, knowledgeable, a great listener, and always willing to make time. Another says a doctor's appointment felt rushed, with little eye contact, and that they left feeling unhappy. Views are mixed, and the caring doctors and friendly staff are the positives mentioned most often.
