Cassie runs a dedicated women’s clinic at Zest Medical in Ashburton and will be also consulting from Juno Specialists in Richmond from May 26th, 2025 . Please note that appointments for new patients will now only be available at Juno Specialists. In these clinics, 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. First appointments are for 1 hour and all her follow up 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 at both clinics. You can be placed on this wait list by calling Zest Medical or Juno Specialists or adding your name to the waiting list here.
