A group of sports and exercise medicine doctors in Addington, working from a new purpose-built clinic on Moorhouse Avenue. The group describes itself as the largest of its kind in the South Island. Its focus is on injuries to joints, tendons and muscles, with the aim of getting people back to their sport, hobby or activity safely. Care can be given in clinic or by Telehealth. The doctors can arrange X-ray, ultrasound or MRI, and blood tests where needed, and they offer exercise prescriptions, injections, braces and splints, and shockwave therapy for certain conditions. They work alongside GPs, physios, chiropractors and podiatrists, and refer on to surgeons when needed.
Referrals are answered within two working days, and specialist appointments with a referral are fully subsidised, though they can take longer, with a stated maximum of four to six weeks. Other doctors can usually be seen within three to four days, without a referral, and are partly subsidised. ACC funds most treatment. Cancellations need 24 hours' notice by phone or email, as the clinic has a non-attendance policy. Within one kilometre there are four other doctor listings, and the best rated of them is After Hours GP, which is 4.8 from 97 reviews.
