Cassie runs a dedicated women’s clinic in the comfortable rooms at Zest Medical in Ashburton. In this clinic, she sees women exclusively for women’s health problems as well as psychological issues. As she is a GP, there is NO referral required. Her approach is to provide a holistic assessment of your needs and work together with you to develop an appropriate management plan. All her appointments are for a minimum of 30 minutes and can be arranged as Telehealth or face to face consultations. Due to demand for appointments, we keep an active waiting list in case of cancellations. You can be placed on this wait list by calling Zest Medical.
