Medical certificates, repeat prescriptions, weight-loss and GLP-1 consults, and mental health assessments. By video. NZ patients only.
FRNZCGP MCNZ-registered Tongan Auckland
Short, focused consults at a fair price. If your issue is outside what I can safely cover by video, I will tell you and refund the consult.
A proper conversation about weight, the GLP-1 medications (Wegovy, Saxenda, Mounjaro), and the lifestyle work that has to sit beside them. I will write the script if it is clinically right for you.
50-minute video assessment for anxiety, low mood, burnout, ADHD screening, or anything you want a GP to take a proper look at. You leave with a working diagnosis, a written plan, and a referral letter if you need one.
Quick repeats for stable, regular medications. Five-minute video call, e-script to your pharmacy.
For when you cannot get to your usual GP. Standard sick notes, return-to-work, short-term off-work certificates.
Built one at a time, in clinic first. Free or low cost where I can manage it. Each one solves a problem I keep seeing in my own practice.
Identity is a protective factor.
Pacific kids who grow up speaking their heritage language do better at school, sleep better, and stay rooted in family. Language loss is one of the strongest signals I see of mental health drift in young Pasifika patients. Talanoa is a free iOS app teaching five Pacific languages through everyday phrases, daily culture alerts, and progressive lessons. Tongan, Samoan, Niuean, Cook Islands Maori, and Fijian today.
Therapy you would actually recommend.
CBT is the most evidence-based treatment for anxiety and low mood. Existing apps are either generic or built for therapists, not patients. I am building one a GP would feel safe handing to a patient at the end of a consult. Plain language, real clinical guardrails, no streak guilt.
Weight medication needs proper support.
NZ patients on Wegovy, Saxenda or Mounjaro need more than a 15-minute consult and a hand-wave. Side-effect tracking, dose-escalation reminders, lifestyle nudges, and clear escalation triggers. Free for any patient on a GLP-1 in NZ when it ships.
Same-day slots most weekdays, 8am to 8pm NZ time. NZ patients only. No insurance or referral required.

Most of what gets in the way of good Pacific care is not the medicine. It is the door. Connect Clinic is built so the door is always open, in a voice that sounds like home.
