Mount Medical Centre opening hours, phone and contact details
Mount Medical Centre’s official contact page lists the clinic at 257 Maunganui Road, Mount Maunganui. The phone number is 07 575 3073. Healthpoint lists the same street address and phone number and also provides the Healthlink EDI as mtmcmtmg.
The official contact page lists hours as Monday to Thursday 8:00am–6:00pm and Friday 8:00am–5:00pm, with weekends and public holidays closed. The same page says phones are monitored Monday to Friday from 8:00am–5:00pm.
How to book a Mount Medical Centre appointment without choosing the wrong route
Mount Medical Centre’s appointment page says patients should call between 8:00am and 5:00pm, Monday to Friday to book an appointment. It also says all patients should book an appointment for either the doctor or nurse clinic and should not arrive without an appointment.
Standard appointments are listed as 15 minutes. If you have multiple issues, the clinic encourages booking a double appointment of 30 minutes. Registered patients aged 16 and over may be able to book with their doctor using Manage My Health.
Decide whether the issue is urgent or routine
Call 111 for emergency symptoms. Phone the clinic for same-day or worsening problems. Use Manage My Health only for suitable routine tasks if registered.
Call for nurse appointments and extra services
The official appointment page says nurse appointments and additional services such as medicals, travel clinic and minor surgery should be booked by calling the clinic directly.
Tell reception about cold or flu symptoms
The appointment page asks patients to tell reception if symptoms may suggest a cold or flu virus so they can be booked appropriately.
Ask for a double appointment if needed
If you have several problems, complex symptoms, forms, medication reviews or a long discussion, ask whether 30 minutes is needed.
Do not arrive without an appointment
The official appointment page specifically says not to arrive at Mount Medical Centre without an appointment.
Manage My Health: appointments, repeats and test results
Mount Medical Centre’s home page says patients can book an appointment online, order a repeat prescription and check results through Manage My Health. The official appointment page says Manage My Health is available to registered patients aged 16 years and over for doctor booking.
Registration is not automatic. The official home page says patients should come into the office and sign the setup form to register for Manage My Health. The FAQ page also says registration needs to be completed at reception in person, after which the portal can be accessed through the website or app.
Good uses for Manage My Health
- Booking suitable routine doctor appointments.
- Ordering repeat prescriptions where appropriate.
- Checking available test results.
- Accessing the portal after in-person setup.
Phone instead of relying on the portal when
- You have emergency, severe or worsening symptoms.
- You have cough, runny nose, fever, sore throat or flu-like symptoms.
- You need a nurse appointment, medical, travel clinic or minor surgery.
- Your medicine has changed or you need same-day prescription help.
- You are not registered or are under 16.
Repeat prescriptions at Mount Medical Centre
Mount Medical Centre’s website says online prescriptions should be requested through the prescriptions form, and the home page says Manage My Health can be used to order repeats. The FAQ page says repeat prescription care may include regular six-monthly medication review appointments.
The official fees page says same-day or urgent prescription requests are charged an additional $10 fee. This is a useful planning detail: do not wait until medicine runs out if the medication is routine and stable.
Before requesting a repeat
- Check whether you can use Manage My Health.
- Request early rather than waiting until medicine runs out.
- Have medicine names, strength and dose ready.
- Know whether a medication review is due.
- Phone if symptoms, dose, side effects or supply have changed.
When to call instead
Phone reception if the prescription is urgent, if medicine has changed, if you have new symptoms, if you are unsure whether review is needed, or if you cannot access the portal. For emergency symptoms, call 111.
Mount Medical Centre fees patients usually want first
Public fee listings show enrolled-patient consultation fees by age and Community Services Card status. Because fee pages and directory listings can update at different times, confirm directly before booking or paying, especially for procedures, medicals, travel services, forms, urgent prescriptions and extra work after consultations.
Healthpoint lists enrolled-patient standard consultation examples as under 14 free, ages 14–17 at $55 without CSC and $20 with CSC, and adults 18+ at $67 without CSC and $20 with CSC. WBOP PHO shows similar adult figures but a different Community Services Card amount for 14–17. This mismatch is exactly why patients should confirm the current fee directly.
Ask before booking
- Am I being charged as enrolled, casual or new patient?
- Does my Community Services Card apply to this service?
- Is this a GP, nurse, medical, travel clinic, minor surgery or extra service appointment?
- Will forms, phone messages, email messages or extra work after consultation cost more?
- Does this need a standard appointment or double appointment?
Cost mistakes to avoid
- Missing an appointment without notice may incur a non-attendance fee.
- Same-day urgent prescription requests can cost extra.
- Extra paperwork or messages after a consultation may incur a minimal fee.
- Home visits may have an additional charge.
- Some services are separate from a standard GP appointment.
Is Mount Medical Centre accepting new patients?
WBOP PHO lists Mount Medical Centre as accepting new patients on a limited, criteria-apply basis. The clinic FAQ says there is no fee to enrol, but the first consultation with a doctor costs $130 and is 30 minutes long. Because enrolment status can change, confirm directly before relying on old directory information.
The first consultation is described as a chance for you and the doctor to get to know each other, update the system with your information and review medical records if received. This means new-patient access is not the same as immediate enrolment, immediate portal access or immediate routine prescription approval.
Before trying to enrol
- Phone and ask whether enrolment is currently open for your situation.
- Ask what criteria apply.
- Ask what ID, eligibility and previous practice details are needed.
- Ask when Manage My Health can be set up.
- Ask what to do if you need care before enrolment is completed.
If you need help now but are not enrolled
Do not wait for enrolment if symptoms are urgent. Use Healthline, Practice Plus, Accident and Healthcare, Tauranga Hospital Emergency Department or 111 depending on severity and timing.
After-hours care when Mount Medical Centre is closed
Mount Medical Centre’s appointment and contact pages list after-hours options as Accident and Healthcare at 19 Second Avenue, Tauranga, Practice Plus, Healthline 0800 611 116 and Tauranga Hospital Emergency Department at 829 Cameron Road, Tauranga.
Healthpoint also notes Practice Plus as a same-day virtual GP option for enrolled patients, available weekdays until 10pm and weekends/public holidays 8am–8pm. Virtual care is not suitable for every problem, especially when a physical examination, injury assessment, x-ray or emergency care may be needed.
Use 111 for emergencies
Call 111 immediately for severe, sudden, life-threatening or unsafe symptoms. Do not wait for the clinic to reopen.
Use Healthline when unsure
Healthline is the best first call when the clinic is closed, the situation is not clearly an emergency, and you need free health advice.
Use Accident and Healthcare for urgent physical care
For urgent after-hours assessment that needs face-to-face care, the official after-hours list points to Accident and Healthcare in Tauranga.
Use Practice Plus for suitable virtual care
Practice Plus may suit some after-hours issues, but it is not a substitute for emergency care or a physical examination when one is needed.
GP services and support areas at Mount Medical Centre
Mount Medical Centre describes itself as providing a wide range of primary healthcare services for people of all ages. Its website navigation and public listings include services such as accident and emergency support, audiometry, aviation medicals, cardiovascular risk assessment, Care Plus, childhood immunisations, skin clinic, travel medicines, pre-employment medicals, maritime medicals and ear suction.
WBOP PHO also lists Health Improvement Practitioner and Health Coach support, online booking, Practice Plus virtual consultations, languages including English and Portuguese, and onsite facilities including pharmacy, dentist and podiatrist. Service availability can still depend on clinician availability, booking type, fee, preparation and whether a standard appointment is enough.
General practice appointments
For routine GP care, ongoing medical needs, review appointments and family health issues where a GP appointment is appropriate.
Nurse appointments
The appointment page says nurse appointments should be booked by phone, not assumed through online booking.
Travel clinic and medicals
Travel clinic, medicals, pre-employment or maritime medical needs may need a specific booking type and fee confirmation.
Minor surgery and skin clinic
Ask whether a GP assessment, longer booking, procedure slot or separate fee is required before the appointment.
Wellbeing support
Public listings show HIP and Health Coach support. Ask the clinic how to access these services if suitable.
Onsite services
Pharmacy, dentist and podiatrist may be onsite or nearby, but they may have separate booking, fees and contact details.
Mount Medical Centre, pharmacy, Practice Plus and urgent care are different routes
A common patient mistake is contacting the wrong service. Mount Medical Centre is the GP practice. Manage My Health is the portal. Practice Plus is virtual after-hours care. Accident and Healthcare is an urgent care option in Tauranga. Pharmacy, dentist, podiatry and physiotherapy services may be separate services with different contact rules.
Mount Medical Centre GP clinic
Use for GP appointments, nurse appointments, repeats, fees, enrolment, medicals, travel clinic and clinic questions.
Manage My Health
Use for suitable online appointment booking, repeat requests and results after registration, not for emergencies.
Practice Plus
Use for suitable virtual after-hours consultations when a physical examination is not required.
Accident and Healthcare
Use for after-hours urgent physical care when the problem cannot wait and is not a 111 emergency.
Onsite allied services
Pharmacy, dentist, podiatry or physiotherapy questions may need those providers directly, not GP reception.
Emergency services
Use 111 for life-threatening symptoms, not email, Manage My Health, Practice Plus or a routine GP appointment.
