We take your concerns seriously and listen. 

Howick Health and Medical Centre is fortunate to have a group of experienced compassionate well qualified doctors with a variety of skills to provide high quality care to the local Howick area as well as the surrounding suburbs.

You are NOT JUST ANOTHER NUMBER when you join our medical centre. We take your concerns seriously and LISTEN!

​A random survey (National Patient Experience Survey that is conducted nationally) in May 2018 showed all  patients surveyed rated our doctors in the areas of 'kindness and understanding' and 'treated with respect' at 100%! 

This random survey repeated in August 2019 rated our GPs and nurses 'treated our patients with respect, kindness and understanding' at 100%!  This survey also showed the practice's communication (in 11 areas including 'GP or nurse listen to you', GP or nurse explanations are easy to understand') was rated at 9.2/10  (national average 8.4/10). Reception staff were rated at 95.5% for 'treating patients with respect'.

We are currently accepting new patients.

As well as providing general health care for your family, we also perform well person checks, travel health checks, and skin cancer surgery.

We are a teaching practice that involves participation in a Continuous Improvement Programme that strives to deliver high quality patient-centred health care. 

We can usually accommodate your request for an urgent appointment on the same day. Just  call us and we'll do our best to help.

Note:  We do not perform immigration medical examinations.
