An integrative medical practice listed at 116 Owen Street in Newtown, Wellington, founded around holistic and integrative medicine, which the website describes as not excluding conventional care. The practice uses functional medicine tests and kinesiology alongside usual medical tests. It assesses nutrition and toxicity, and treats allergies and hormonal health with bio-identical hormones. Services named on the website include intravenous ozone and Prolozone, ozone injections for joint or soft-tissue pain, root cause therapy, heavy metal chelation and intravenous vitamin C. The practice was led by Dr Tessa Jones, who has practised in Newtown since 1988. We hear Dr Jones now works in Nelson, offering consultations in person, by phone and by Zoom, and that the preferred contact is email at reception@karangahealth.co.nz.
Customers are divided. One says Dr Jones helped them from being bed-ridden to being able to stand. Another found the rooms cluttered and the reception staff rude, and felt the consultation lacked substance. A third praises the holistic approach. Nearby, Newtown Medical Centre, 0.5 km away, is rated 3.2 from 86 reviews, and Newtown Union Health Service, 0.7 km away, is rated 3.5 from 21 reviews. Our pick in Newtown for a holistic approach to health.
