White Cross Greers Road

The team at White Cross Greers Road have proudly served the Bishopdale, Bryndwr, and Burnside communities for over 30 years. Originally founded as Greers Road Medical Centre by Drs Catherine Spencer-Taylor, David Mann, and Jonathan Davies, the clinic began in a converted house before moving to its current purpose-built facility in 2010. In 2025 it adopted the White Cross name, to become White Cross Greers Road.

New name, same great team. 

You'll find the same trusted healthcare team in the clinic, but now as part of a well-established nationwide network, patients also benefit from access to industry-leading healthcare innovations and enhanced care, including: 

• Increased access to healthcare, 365 days a year with Bettr.co.nz – online GP consultations are $45 for an enrolled adult (or $25 with a CSC), and free for enrolled patients under 14yrs. With extended hours and same-day appointments typically available, you’re never far from the care you need.
• Seamless, connected care – if you choose to use Bettr online care, or one of our other White Cross services, with your agreement the clinical staff may access your health record, to enable continuity of care and a personalised experience.
• Improved convenience and transparency - our online patient portal Manage My Health allows you to check your lab results, view your health and immunisation records, request repeat scripts, and book appointments online – all from the comfort of your home, work or wherever. Signing up is easy
• More affordable urgent care right across New Zealand – when you travel, you can now visit any White Cross Urgent Care clinic nationwide, and you'll only pay the enrolled patient price for your consult - a saving of up to $50 per visit.

White Cross Greers Road is a teaching clinic, committed to supporting the next generation of healthcare professionals. Dr Catherine Spencer-Taylor has mentored numerous GP registrars over the past decade, and continues to do so today.

As part of a focus on quality improvement, the team recently undertook a project aimed at improving PSA (Prostate-Specific Antigen) screening rates. The goal was to screen at least 80% of Māori and Pacific men aged 45–51, and 80% of all men by age 51. PSA testing is a key tool in detecting prostate-related conditions, including cancer. While some men remain unscreened, we’re committed to continuing this important work to support better health outcomes.

White Cross Greers Road is proud to care for members of Christchurch’s vibrant Bhutanese refugee community, which has become an important part of our clinic whānau over the years. The clinic is open Monday to Friday for GP appointments and welcomes new patients to enrol. Same day GP appointments are usually available - please phone reception to book in 03 359 8119
