Appointments are 15 minutes unless a longer appointment is requested.
Please book your routine check-ups at least a week in advance where possible.
Should you have multiple concerns that you wish to discuss in your appointment, please request a double appointment and book this well in advance. There is an extra charge for a double appointment however it will allow time for your doctor to address all your concerns in the one appointment.
Some consultations need longer appointments, often with the doctor and the nurse. If your appointment is for any of these:
Please let reception know when booking the appointment so the appropriate appointment times can be made.
Your doctor or nurse may request your approval to use our AI notetaking assistant during your consultation.

When you book an appointment, that time is set aside for you. If you do not attend your appointment, or cancel with less than 2 hours’ notice, it is very difficult for us to offer that time to another patient in need.
For this reason, we will charge the $30.00 for appointments that are missed or cancelled within 2 hours of the appointment time. Contact 03 477 7583 or email office@dnmc.co.nz to cancel appointments.
We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in helping us provide timely care to all our patients.
