THERE IS A FULL TIME PRIVATE CLINIC IN WHANGAREI, RUN BY WOMEN FOR
WOMEN’S HEALTH PROBLEMS:
Such as troublesome bleeding; menopause concerns; abnormal smears; pelvic pain; pain or irrita-
tion ‘down there’; fertility issues; non surgery options for prolapse and bladder problems.
Many of the common problems can be treated with simple minor procedures done either at the clinic
or at Kensington Hospital.
The emphasis at the clinic is on making sure women have as much information as possible about their
own health on which to base their decisions as to the type of treatment that is best for them.
Dr. Rachel Moss, the specialist gynaecologist, can see you to make a thorough gynaecological
assessment and discuss options for treatment.
A GP referral can be helpful but is not essential.
