Intus Specialist Health Care is a multidisciplinary specialist group, with clinics in Christchurch, Dunedin, Queenstown and Wānaka. The Christchurch clinic is at 249 Papanui Road in Merivale. Its specialities include gastroenterology and endoscopy, colonoscopy and gastroscopy, colorectal surgery, gynaecology, general and robotic surgery, dietetics and nutrition, weight loss care, fertility medicine and hepatology. Patients can self-refer, or ask their GP to refer them. The website describes the endoscopy service as focused on accurate diagnosis and early detection.
Patients say the team is professional, and that the clinic is comfortable and easy to deal with from start to finish. One patient, who was very anxious before a colonoscopy, says the reception staff put them at ease straight away, and that the doctor and nurses were amazing. Another attended for a breath test for SIBO and says the nurse made sure they had all the information and felt well looked after. Nurses and friendly staff are mentioned most often. Among the six nearby doctor listings with ten or more reviews, none rates higher than Intus, and nearby are Christchurch Surgical Associates and MacMurray Gastroenterology and Endoscopy Centre, both 0.1 km away.
