Your Health Journey at FemaleGP

Considering an appointment

Are we the right service for you?

We are a private women's health clinic, and do not provide an urgent service. You may wish to see your GP first, to see if initial management can be started as we usually have a wait for appointments. Then we can build on the work you have done with your GP.

We do try to triage and prioritise GP and other referrals

Registration

To register for an appointment: email hello@femalegp.co.nz

email for an appointment

You will receive our casual patient registration email. There are 2 or 3 steps to be completed so that we can safely provide medical care:
1) register on the confidential patient management system
2) email us your medical background 
​3) if applicable fill in a questionaire

While you wait for your appointment

Gather your information

Have a think about what you would like to learn about and your health aspects you would like to share.  If your appointment is about your hormones think about how you feel in your body, and your mood over a menstrual cycle.
If your appointment is about prolapse or incontinence think about what your bowel and bladder are like.

Preparing for your appointment

Make the most of your time at FemaleGP Clinic

Please provide previous investigations/clinic letters if they have been done at private hospitals, and/or outside of Hawkes Bay. Summaries and timelines of your health history and symptoms are really helpful.
Have a look at our website and resources to understand what your journey may involve

Your first appointment

40-60 minutes | $340-440

Your 40-60mins of clinical time with Dr Samantha will be tailored to your needs and priorities. It will involve detailed discussion of your medical and personal history, focused examination, prescription & investigations. Your clinical care extends beyond your consult with post clinic administration, investigations and review of clinical information.

You may find it useful to look at some of the information available under Listen or Learn on our website

After your appointment

Your health journey continues

You will be added to the patient portal where you will be able to see the doctor notes of what was discussed, the plan will be written down and you will be emailed some extra resources (if applicable). A formal letter will be sent to your GP and yourself

A confidence call | $70

You are not alone

Depending on your needs 1-6 weeks later you will be booked in to Dr Samantha's diary. This is a 5-10 minute opportunity to ask any clinical questions you have. You can have as many confidence calls as you want.

Follow up appointment(s)

20-30 minutes | $125-$200

Most of our clients have 2-3 appointments in a short space of time. Follow up appointments are 20-30 minutes long. We find that more time together initially, enables a better grasp of your needs and how to work together to help women feel empowered and understanding their own well-being
All appointments can be face-to-face, telephone or video call.  Many women have a mixture.  You are also welcome to bring a support person (or 2).  And if your child needs to come, we will make that work as well.  We believe that whanau [family] health is part of all health.
