Thorndon Medical Centre

I have been going to Thorndon Medical Centre and Dr Tony Crutchley for 36 years. I find them very caring, handy to the CBD, and good value for money. There is often a long wait time, but I learnt to make a booking for first thing in the morning or first thing after the lunch break. I think all caring doctors are torn between spending time with the patient in front of them and knowing there are more queuing up outside the door. One time I came with a mental list / secret agenda of several items and when I announced the second one, the doctor very abruptly said Times up and I said Fair enough. Today I waited 10 minutes after my 09:45 appointment. As I waited I read a sign on the wall saying something like If you have several matters to discuss with the doctor, please tell the receptionist when you make a booking. We plan for 15 minute appointments. I often wondered why my dentist (at Thorndon DC, where I have also been going for 36 years or so) can keep to time. I think it is because the human body, mind and spirit is abundantly more complex than a mouthful of teeth! Thank you TMC for being there for us

Dr. Nicola Comer is my doctor at the centre. She has been very helpful and is a very kind person to talk, explains things in detail. I recommend her to the new patients.

I have been attending this clinic since mid 1990s because it is convenient to work. Appointments always run late, I am currently waiting. Plus ever since Dr Mary English left about 7 years ago, there is no continuity in getting a female doctor... locums etc, never know who I'm going to see.
