Murihiku Medical Services is a general practice at 112 Don Street in Invercargill, and it runs its booking and prescriptions largely through an online patient portal and app. Standard GP appointments are 15 minutes long and cover one health concern. A patient with more than one concern books a double appointment, which carries an extra charge. Arriving late can mean the doctor cannot see you, and a Did Not Attend fee may apply. Routine prescriptions are turned around within 72 hours, and the practice asks patients to say in their message if they need one sooner. As at 2026, ordering a prescription through the patient portal costs $25.00, and the practice says the portal is the quickest option. We hear that Dr Ewan Adam, a long-standing doctor and director who has worked in Invercargill for 24 years, is leaving the practice. The practice has also stopped processing health insurance claims for consultations and prescriptions, so patients now pay the clinic and claim back from their own insurer. Blood test results are reviewed by a clinician, and patients are only contacted if follow-up is needed. The phone number is 03 218 6343.
