Dr Noel has a strong interest in mental health, men’s health, minor procedures, musculoskeletal care, and supporting older adults. He is known for his approachable manner and takes the time to ensure patients feel comfortable, listened to, and well supported throughout their care.
Although newer to our team, he has quickly become a valued member of our practice and patient community.
With increased GP hours, we now have greater availability for both same-day acute appointments and routine care, making it easier for you to be seen when you need to.
Appointments available – book online or contact reception 09 478 2878
