New Year Message

As we welcome in the new year, we would like to take a moment to wish all our valued patients a happy and healthy 2025.

In the past few months, we have been fortunate to welcome Dr. Emma Short and Dan Cannon to our team. With their addition, we are pleased to announce that all Waikanae Health patients are now registered with a provider. We understand that there may have been challenges in the past with not being assigned a clinician, and we are thrilled to have resolved this to better serve you.

If you are unsure who your current provider is, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us. We’re here to help and ensure your health care needs are fully supported.

Wishing you all the very best for the year ahead.

Warm regards,
The Waikanae Health Team
