About Port Nicholson Medical
We are a Wellington Central City General Practice based in Taranaki Street (just around the corner from Courtenay Place), within easy walking distance of the Golden Mile. There is usually plenty of parking in Blair and Allen Streets nearby. Small cars may use the parking building opposite the practice. There is a bus stop immediately outside the practice.
Our GPs offer a full range of general medical services. Our Medical Centre has very experienced doctors and a small team who provides an efficient and personalised service to our patients. Port Nicholson Medical offers excellent quality medical and nursing services with easy access to our friendly practice staff.
Our GPs are available for general consultations, skin checks including dermatoscopy, minor surgery and routine medical examinations. We also offer travel medicine, hormone replacement therapy for menopause and long term birth control options including the fitting of IUCDs, Mirena, Implanton, Jadelle and Depo Provera.

Fees increase 2024
We have recently undertaken our annual fees review and wanted to make everyone aware that our fees will be increasing from the 29/07/2024. They have been increased in response to our increasing costs associated with running the practice and reduced funding received from the Te Whatu Ora/Ministry of Health. If you would like to see a copy of our new fees we have an updated list on our website under pricing. Accounts outstanding after 7 days will incur an accounting fees.
Winter wellness update 2024
Due to the current increase in covid, flu, whooping cough and other illnesses this winter, we will be working to reduce the number of respiratory cases we see in the practice in order to ensure we are keeping our patients and staff safe.
If you have a cough, sore throat, runny nose, fever or any other cold or flu-like symptoms, we ask that you please do not come into the practice. If you need an appointment with a doctor, it will be done as a phone consultation. If from the phone consultation the doctor decides that you need to be seen in person then we will make arrangements for you to come in.
We ask that you please let us know when you are booking an appointment if you have any of these symptoms. If you have not yet had a flu vaccine and would like to get one, we are offering them at the practice. Please phone reception to book if you would like to get one for winter.
Thank you and keep well!
