★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I can get an appointment here (for an ear infection) in 16 days time or go and pay $90 at White Cross and be seen today. Who is psychic enough to know they are going to get an ear infection in 16 days time? Their excuse was that it is school holidays. So these kids knew 2 weeks ago they were going to be sick today? Do you really expect me to believe that? Do you honestly believe I am that stupid? Sadly, in a small town like this, all the good doctors have closed their books. Your only choices are White Cross or A&E. BTW - even outside of school holidays you won't get an appointment in less than 2 weeks.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Worst Practice Ive Ever Been In; Disrespectful Doctors who waste your time and charge you for it; long wait times not to mention they will insult you for genuine health concerns. Avoid at all costs.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This place is terrible. I tried to get in with tonsillitis, walked in just to see if anyone could see me! I was clearly sick, they told me no I had to pay $80 at white cross, student at the time so couldn’t afford that. My sister then rang up and demanded a appointment for me (bit of a Karen moment) and they suddenly could let me in. The staff at the front are rude and unpleasant and gossip. The worst doctors I have ever been to.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ When this place was owned by the local GP's who worked there, it was a very good, well run medical centre.
Now it is owned by a multi corporate "Green Cross Health Medical" who have bought out many of these practices all around NZ. They have become like a franchise. To my knowledge there is only one remaining GP from the old days (Richard Davis) We receive a newsletter via email every 6 months of the changes and updates happening there. Every time, there are doctors leaving and new doctors coming so it's impossible to have one permanent GP like it used to be. They have a very high turn over of staff. A while ago I ended up with Dr John Benton because he was the only GP free to see my son. He started shouting and lecturing me because I had asked about antibiotics for my son. We ended up walking out of his room and made a complaint to reception. Helen Davis (who I normally would see) came and seen me and we had a very good talk. I told her " Of all the years I've been going there, Benton would be the rudest and most arrogant GP I have ever met". Not long after that, Helen left, which was a real shame.
Benton is actually on a list at reception as a GP I refuse to see when I phone up for an appointment. I try to make appointments with Dr Daniel Unkel who is very good but mostly booked up. That's the difference between a good GP and a bad one. The bad ones are always free because no one wants them. Avoid Benton at all cost as shown by other reviewers here. I've tried changing to another medical center but it's impossible to get in because none of them are taking on new patients due to being full up.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Horrible Experience. Firstly the reception staff were rude, talked over me and tried charging me for my appointment TWICE! Then got into John Benton who absolutely roasted me due to being a smoker. Then told me that I was not going to receive same medical help as a non smoker. Discrimination at its finest. I waited over a month for this appointment, I wasn't just disappointed but disgusted. Also when asking for pain killers for a back injury, was told I could not be supplied any due to it being like CRACK and how I would addicted to it. What is the point of heathcare when you leave the doctors in worse condition than when I entered. If you need help, DO NOT GO TO THESE PEOPLE. No wonder mental health is such an issue in this country, no one wants to help young people who DO have issues.
