I've heard good things about Dr Paul Henderson. He often advertises in the NS Times. Not sure of his contact details though ------------- http://alterna-tickers.com">

I am with Shore Birth, which is a group of 4 obs. They are all very nice. They are in Shea Tce, Takapuna (just round the corner from hospital).
Dr Andrew Ansari. I have had lots of great feedback on him, he was on holidays over my due date so i couldn't get in to see him. He is on Shakespear Rd in Milford. Unfortunately i have heard the opposite to kabe about Paul Henderson.... I heard not so good things about him. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I LOVE Paul Henderson, he is FANTASTIC!! He was not my ob as I went with a midwife but he did offer! He is based on Sunset Road i think, next to Maternity Associates.
PS What A and E was that? Seven hours is ridiculous! The two times we have been to A&E we go to the one opposite north shore hospital and have always been seen within half an hour! ------------- Anna http://lilypie.com">

I live on the shore but ended up going with Neil Pattison, over in Parnell. I work in the city so it suited me for appointments etc, and the bonus of going with him was the stay at Birthcare afterwards which you don't get if you birth at NSH.
Neil was just wonderful, I can't describe how reassuring he was. Let me know if you want his contact details. ------------- http://www.bump-and-beyond.com">

Thanks for the advice
I have contacted Shore Birth and seeing them tomorrow. The A and E was at North Shore Hospital and I had been referred by my GP who I saw twice yesterday they were supposed to be expecting me. |
