Description
Founded in 1989, The Doctors Napier was among the first medical centres in New Zealand to provide 7-day a week, extended hours care to patients. The Doctors Napier Ltd comprises our three clinics, Napier, Greenmeadows and Ahuriri.
In addition to the full range of primary care provided at The Doctors, we offer a number of additional services, including nurse-led health clinics and programmes giving patients expert guidance, support, or treatment. For patient convenience, Napier & Greenmeadows are also home to a physiotherapist, x-ray, and pharmacy. All of our systems are fully computerised, allowing us fast and direct communication with our patients and other health professionals.
We offer The Doctors App to our registered patients, which allows you to communicate with your medical centre, allowing you to request repeat prescriptions, and view your recent laboratory results.
In 2019, The Doctors Napier celebrated 30 years of caring for our community.

Services Provided
All women and people with a cervix aged 25 – 69 who have ever had intimate skin-to-skin contact or been sexually active should have regular cervical screening. This includes women who have been immunised against HPV. Together, regular screening and HPV immunisation provide the best protection against cervical cancer. There are now more options for how you have cervical screening done: a simple vaginal swab test for HPV, either done yourself or with help from a healthcare professional a cervical sample taken by a healthcare professional (used to be known as a smear test). Talk with your healthcare provider to decide which option is best for you. If HPV is found, you may need to have a follow-up test or be referred directly for colposcopy. If you’ve not yet had HPV testing, you should be screened 3 years after your last test (or 1 year if immune deficient). Once you have had an HPV test, and providing HPV is not found, your next screening will be in 5 years (or 3 years if immune deficient).
