Riddiford Medical is a private multidisciplinary medical and surgical centre on Riddiford Street in Newtown, Wellington, next to the main entrance of Wellington Regional Hospital. The centre brings several specialities under one roof, including urology, and it offers specialist consultations and procedures in a purpose-built building.
Patients can be referred by a GP or another specialist, and a patient registration form is used to arrange appointments. The centre is not set up for surgery that needs a general anaesthetic on site. Those operations are done by its specialists at private hospitals in the Wellington region. Its specialists are credentialled to work in both public and private hospitals in the region.
Parking is available under the building at street level, reached through the alleyway on the right of the building. There is a parking garage with a disability park and space for most disability vehicles, and dedicated bicycle parking. Free parking for under two hours is available for patients at the Countdown supermarket opposite, with access from Hanson Street or Adelaide Road. There is no e-bike or e-vehicle charging on site, and bike docks are on Riddiford Street in front of the hospital.
The nearest bus stops are Wellington Hospital Stop A and Stop B, with Metlink timetables available online.
