Our Journey
Dr Hinamaha and Dr Fiona entered Medical School and General Practice wanting to serve the people of South Auckland, taking a special interest in Pacific and Maori health. They both trained at the University of Auckland and primarily at Middlemore Hospital.
In 2014 they were given the opportunity to establish a new clinic ‘’Southpoint Family Doctors”. Both doctors highly value the relationship between a patient and clinician, working together to design plans to support them on their health journey; to help educate and inform patients so that they feel empowered to make the right choices and decisions for their well-being.
They recognise that each person is a member of a family and community, and that health goals and plans need to be holistic, considering the Fonofale and Te Whare Tapa Wha models of care (Physical, Mental, Social, and Spiritual).
Dr Hina and Dr Fiona have appreciated staff and family who have supported them on their journey and who have helped to shape Southpoint Family Doctor’s. They also have a particular interest in teaching and supporting the maximisation of staff’s potential. Contributing to the growth of the Health Workforce including our Pasifika people.
Southpoint Family Doctor’s is a recognized Pacific provider, and has been involved in support services including COVID-Whanau HQ, Emergency Response, Long term Conditions, Social Navigation and currently Childhood Outreach Vaccinations to increase our Childhood Vaccination rates.
