Why we started this service…

Dr. Eric Farmer noticed that many patients were unable to find a GP to enrol with locally or were needing to take an entire day off work to travel to out of the area for treatments.

Kōtare Health is a solution so that you can receive tailored health care in a timely manner and access primary health care without the unnecessary travel and cost.

We do not take enrollments at Kōtare Health. You are able to stay enrolled with your own GP and see Dr. Eric Farmer in addition to staying enrolled at your GP Practice.

Dr. Eric Farmer has a passion for preventing health issues from occurring or worsening and offers to work in partnership with you to achieve your health goals.

Our approach

Every clinic appointment starts with a discussion about your history, pain, treatment options and your goals.

We are committed to evidence based treatments which may mean that medication or an injection is not the right option for you. Dr. Eric Farmer may suggest alternatives such as exercise, physiotherapy or other rehab.
