Medical care and advice is now available at Hobsonville Point with the opening of the Hobsonville Point Medical Centre and Pharmacy.

Located at 3/160 Hobsonville Point Road, the new medical centre and pharmacy are the first of the retail shops to open on the ground floor of the Brickworks Apartments.

The pharmacy is owned by Ally Kim, Samantha Muir and Samit Patel who all grew up locally in Hobsonville and Greenhithe before graduating from The University of Auckland, each with a Bachelor of Pharmacy with Honours. The team are excited to meet residents of the Hobsonville Point community and provide them with quality pharmaceutical services.

Meanwhile, Dr Seham Ayad has recently returned from Australia to serve the community by opening the medical centre. Dr Ayad graduated from Egypt’s Cairo University as a Paediatrician before immigrating to New Zealand in 1996. She has worked in various hospitals, including North Shore, Auckland and Starship, as well as some general practices, including at Westgate and St Lukes.

The medical centre is open for enrolments from new patients and is currently providing a walk in service with no appointment necessary. It also has up to date, portable equipment which allows for home visits if required. Enrolment forms are available at www.hvpm.co.nz.

“We hope to support the healthy, safe environment this community already upholds and are looking forward to helping wherever we can,” says pharmacist Sam. “Do come in and say hello. We would love to meet you.”

The pharmacy is open from 8:30am – 6pm Monday to Friday and 9am – 1pm Saturday. Contact the team on (09) 222 0319 or admin@hppharmacy.co.nz. The medical centre is open 8am – 6pm Monday to Friday, and 9am – 1pm Saturday. Contact the team on (09) 222 0381 or admin@hvpm.co.nz.
