About Cook Dr John

This is an appointment-only general practice at 22 Union Street in New Brighton, now run under the White Cross New Brighton name. It looks after an enrolled patient base and does not see casual patients, but anyone can enrol. The website says the clinic has cared for the community for more than 45 years, and that same-day GP appointments are usually available. The team is made up of GPs, nurses, a nurse practitioner and support staff, and the clinic works with local pharmacies, physios and labs. Care covers everyday check-ups, long-term conditions and minor injuries.

Enrolled patients can book, order repeat scripts and check lab results through the online patient portal. When the clinic is not open, Bettr offers 24/7 online GP consultations at $45 for enrolled adults, $25 with a Community Services Card, and free for enrolled patients under 14 (as at 2026). Because White Cross is a national network, enrolled patients can see any White Cross Urgent Care clinic in New Zealand and pay the enrolled price, a saving of up to $50 a visit. The clinic phone number is 09 274 7823. Within 1 km there are two other doctor listings: White Cross New Brighton, rated 2.9 from 116 reviews, and Jerram Dr Sam, rated 5.0 from 2 reviews.
