Winter ills and chills are plentiful at the moment. We are grateful to have our cottage set up for respiratory consultations, it's a great facility and a comfort to know we can separate the potentially infectious illnesses from standard care. Our reception and nursing team will continue to ask about respiratory symptoms when you book appointments.
As well as acute illnesses, it's important that your regular health needs, vaccinations, screening checks and medicines reviews are kept up to date. While most consultations will be face-to-face, COVID has allowed us to be more flexible with telephone and video consultations and we will continue to offer this service where it is safe and possible to do so.
Thank you for your patience and understanding, your kindness to our staff and respect for others.

I was born in Dunedin but grew up in the Mount and went to Mount College. I trained at Otago University where I met my wife... Dr Wendy Huang.
I have been a GP since 2005. I have been at Farm St since 2016. I like all aspects of General Practice but particularly have an interest in Medicine, Cardiology and Aged Care.
Outside of work I enjoy reading, cricket and driving my two sons to all their sports.
I graduated from Glasgow University in 1996, moved to New Zealand in 2007, and have enjoyed being a partner at Farm St since 2010.
As well as providing general medical care and minor skin surgery I have a special interest in child, adolescent and women's health including Jadelle and Mirena insertion.
I enjoy reading, running and family time.
Graduated Otago Medical School 1982 and founding partner at Farm St.
Kevin and I arrived in the Mount with a six-month old babe in arms and haven't moved. The Mount has been a wonderful place to live and work and raise our four children. It is a privilege to see the children of our early patients now bringing their own offspring to the practice, this continuity over the years is one of the fantastically rewarding parts of general practice.
Outside work these days I can be found climbing the Mount or Pap Hills, enjoying classical music and singing with Vocal Chords (a health providers based choir – no audition needed fortunately).
Originally from Katikati, I graduated from Otago Medical School in 1983. After a couple of years based in the UK, Kerry and I returned to NZ and I completed my GP training in Palmerston North. Our families (the grandparents) were the pull to bring us back to the Bay in 1989 and we were welcomed into the Mount.
I am grateful to have been able to provide continuity of care for over thirty years to this community. We have family centred medicine at the core of our partnership at Farm St and I am fortunate to have fellow colleagues who share this ideal. We provide a full range of General Medical care. I have particularly enjoyed the care of older patients, skin surgery and seeing children – generally a tonic for any day.
I enjoy getting out on my bike when I can. I completed the Tour Aotearoa during summer 2020, a bike trekking adventure from Cape Reinga to Bluff.
I graduated from Otago Medical School in 2000 and moved to Tauranga in 2004. I joined Farm Street Family Health in 2009 and especially enjoy preventative care, chronic medical conditions, children's health, skin concerns and women's health. I also provide Jadelle insertion/removal and minor surgeries. Consultations can be done in English or Mandarin.
I am married to Andrew and enjoy cooking and cake decorating. Much of my free time is also taken up pursuing classical, musical theatre and choral singing. I belong to two choirs and do solo concerts from time to time.
I am originally from the UK and graduated from the University of Leeds. I came over to New Zealand in 2018 and fell in love with the country, finding my home in the beautiful Bay of Plenty.
I worked in numerous hospitals in the UK and New Zealand before settling on a career in general practice. I am a GP registrar and joined the Farm Street team in 2022. I'm really pleased that I will be continuing my training here. I value Farm Street's whanau centered approach to general practice and hope this will reflect in my clinic.
The ocean is a big part of my life so outside of work you'll find me at the beach either surfing or kiting!
