Description

About Dee Street
We are very fortunate to have a very low staff turnover at Dee Street Most of the nurses have been with the practice for over twelve years and the receptionists have been here six years or longer This means that we work well together as a team and have gained a lot of practicewide understanding of the history of our patients over a long period of time

We are a member of the Western Bay of Plenty Primary Health Organisation WBOPPHO which is a body set up between primary medical providers in Tauranga Moana mostly GPs and local Iwi This body allows us to access government subsidies on your behalf

Dee Street is close to an industrial area the Port of Tauranga and a large residential area The practice is adjacent to the RSA and there are pensioner flats upstairs in the building

In recent years we have experienced a significant growth in population due to infill housing and the development of new subdivisions Many of the traditional holiday baches are replaced by permanent homes now Nevertheless we still see a significant number of casual patients as the Mount is a popular holiday destination
