17th January 2013 These comments are ridiculous, do you not realise that the reason there is a high turnover of doctors is because nobody wants to work there because the patients. I am a nurse and have heard so many horror stories of how rude and awful the patients ate in that area and so any GP that works there moves on as quick as possible. With the shortage of doctors the areas with horrid patients (like you 3) are going to suffer. you are all quick to blame the people that work there but why don't you take a look at yourselves. Go elsewhere if you are unhappy...Enjoy the car ride. Tim

30th August 2012 The fees for this practice are every affordable but there is never any consistency of medical care as the medical staff change so frequently. I recently consulted a junior doctor who appeared to be on rotation there and her opinion was over-ruled by a principal doctor. Three weeks later I was admitted to hospital.
Appointments are short and swift usually as no doubt a higher turnover of patients means more money. However, the nurses are generally very good and there is a comprehensive range of services available.

25th March 2012 my review is 0 they are all terrible!!!!.
One doctor even halved my asthma medication without even telling me... which i have had since i was 6 been in and out of asthma clinics and hospital trying to get it under control, it has now been under control for awhile and only meeting me once and obviously not looking at my record,s did this! which could've resulted in a complete attack, unthinkable!!!!!! and not to mention extremely dangerous... i may even take that further i think.
I went in there once with baby on one hip, a baby baby bag over one arm and my handbag on the other arm and got told to "shut the door" disgraceful!! needless to say i had to kick the door shut, outrageous.
I actually rung today for an appointment today (Tuesday) and they cannot get me an appointment until NEXT WEDNESDAY absolutely ludicrous!!!!! that is completely unnecessary!!..
I should've listened to the locals about how terrible all the doctors at this practice are, come on Wellsford Coast to Coast where are your people skills and what ever happened to a "family Gp" who knows you and your whole family????? i have only heard terrible things about this practice and I'm just about ready to go elsewhere unfortunately other practices are a while away, and coast to coast is very handy but if i have to i will, i would love to find a doctor who actually knows myself and my family so please Wellsford Coast to Coast buck up your ideas

3rd October 2011 My wife and son visited Wellsford last Wed in regards to seem what was a broken arm and saw Dr Lawrance, xrays were taken and my wife was told that it was a fracture and could possibly need a pin put in and it would be best to go to starship to get this done. so after going all the way to Auckland and waiting to get it seen to, she is told there is nothing wrong with it not even a bruise. So I thought i would inform you so more training can be undertaken by your medical team so that you can actually provide a high quality primary care, that you say you do, Regards Pete
