Oxford Women's Health

Rang the reception asking for information and the lady was really rude. She shut me down with one word and hung up the phone...People don't ask questions if they knew answers to everything. Just try to be kind.

Arriving in New Zealand less than 2 weeks ago, my wife and I faced a difficult situation. She found out on her first day that she needed an urgent surgery for a precursor to cervical cancer. However, she wasn't eligible for the NZ public health system, nor did she have travel insurance (we incorrectly believed she would be covered since she is married to me, a NZ citizen via birth.) Cue the (failed) attempts to visit GPs, to enroll, to translate her Portuguese medical records - it was like hitting our heads against a brick wall, until we came to Oxford. To start with, unlike almost everywhere else we visited they were willing to accomodate her without a referral from a NZ-based doctor. This gave us hope of actually being able to stay in NZ, plus saved us from the unnecessary use of time and money that seeing a GP would have been. On our first visit, we were originally attended by a lovely nurse named Jan who clearly laid out all the possible costs we could expect for the surgery, testing, and follow-ups, from best to worst scenarios. She also put us at ease, letting us know the good news - that it wasn't cancer yet, and that while surgery should be done urgently, it would take a long time to become cancer if untreated. When we decided to go forward with my wife's treatment, we then were attended by Richard Dover, who was fantastic. He was professional and knowledgeable, yet put us at ease with his friendly attitude and sense of humor. He was gentle during the consult -- I could see that he was skilled at making an otherwise painful experience as comfortable as it can be. We both left with the sense that both Richard and Jan truly cared about her and wanted the best for her. We really appreciated that.
