medicals - (non-silent) doctors in wellington
Hi
we now have our ITA and I started ringing around doctors in Wellington. Or at least I just rang one and the phone was answered with
'hello?'
me: 'is that the medical centre?'
him: "it's doctor such and such'
Me: ..proceeds to go into detail about wanting medical for residency application
him: silence, although there was still a person on the other end
Me: 'can you hear me?'
him:...nothing! Very odd.
Maybe I can get more sense here - just looking for recommended docs and any fluctuations in prices,
cheers,
Andy

I don't know if you work in the CBD but there is a medical centre dealing with immigration medicals, bloods and xray on The Terrace (50).
I had my medical ($150) done at my gp in Ngaio, the bloods (from $150) done on the Terrace and the xray ($98) done at Pacific radiology on Lambton Quay.

Sorry I can't help at all other than to say we used to have a receptionist who did that! It drove us all bonkers. Especially since he didn't do it all the time. He would just put people on hold if he didn't know the answer. I suggested that he may wish to tell people he has put them on hold.
Sorry, just had to share. very odd behaviour.

Re: medicals - (non-silent) doctors in wellington
Odd behaviour indeed. I came the conclusion that, as I was ringing late on a Saturday, the real Doctors had gone home and this was a cleaner just pretending - a bit like Peggy in Hi De Hi who had a yearning to be a redcoat.
Cappucino - so I'd be looking at around $450 per adult then? My understanding is that you can shop around, although I have been told that prices for PR medicals can be set higher than normal, so a little confused
