Dr. Rachel Moss

Dr Moss, Specialist Gynaecologist, of Riverside Womens Healthcare, will be retiring in December so the last consultation day will be 12th December 2024.
Unfortunately, we have not been successful in finding a successor at this stage.
She has stopped doing major surgery such as hysterectomies already to ensure completion of post op follow up before retiring, but will continue to do minor surgery until the last operating list of 6th December as this will still give time to follow up results.

There are very few appointments left for new patients in November and priority will be given to women with urgent problems. She will only see follow up patients in December.

An email will be sent to all existing patients of Dr Moss with more detail soon.

Dr Rachel Moss - Riverside Women's Healthcare

Dr.. Rachel Moss is an experienced gynaecologist with over 30 years experience, having trained and worked in the UK, then worked in NZ for 30 years, and has been in private practice for 25 years in Whangarei.

Her clinic is called RIVERSIDE WOMENS HEALTHCARE which is a private clinic in Whangarei run by women and the atmosphere is very supportive of their emotional needs. We deal with womens health problems such as troublesome bleeding, menopause concerns, abnormal smears, pelvic pain, vulval pain, vulval rashes and itching, and fertility issues, and non surgical management of bladder leakage and prolapse. Many of the common problems can be treated with simple minor procedures done either at the clinic or at Kensington Hospital. We are also happy to see women for routine well woman checks.

The emphasis at the clinic is on making sure women have as much time as necessary to discuss their presenting problem and also their general gynaecological health so that other problems are picked up and dealt with, and they are given as much information as possible about their own health on which to base their decisions as to the type of treatment that is best for them. This will include in-depth discussion of non-surgical options but, if major surgery is required or desired, this will be done using modern techniques that are designed to improve safety, reduce postoperative pain and hasten recovery.

We are able to do teleconsults.
