  • Harry did her medical degree then specialist General Practice training in the UK. She has been working as a GP on the North Shore since immigrating to New Zealand in 1994. She joined the team at Albany Family Medical Centre in 2013. She has three adult children, enjoys the outdoors, music and theatre.

  • John first started as a General Practitioner in Albany in 1985 working in solo practice until 2001 at which time he joined Paul and Philip at the current address. For many years he functioned as an examiner for the Royal New Zealand College of GP's and currently is a teaching partner with the Department of General Practice at the University of Auckland. In his spare time (when he gets some!) he enjoys painting, fishing and playing guitar.

  • I was born and raised in Malaysia. After completed a medical degree in Taiwan, I immigrated to New Zealand in 2007. Here, I gained a Postgraduate Diploma of Child Health in 2010 and GP fellowship in 2014. I perform minor surgeries. I am able to do ingrown toenail, simple skin lesion excision and steroid injections (shoulder, knee, carpal tunnel, trigger finger etc). I speak fluent English and Chinese. I understand most Taiwanese and Cantonese but am not able to speak them. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family, playing tennis and the violin.  I perform steroid injections for non-ACC conditions. An initial consultation is required before a procedure can be scheduled. Patients with ACC conditions will be referred to specialist interventional radiologists

  • I emigrated to NZ in 2001. It is a great opportunity to work with the team at Albany Family Medical Centre. I enjoy all aspects of General Practice and my special interests are women’s and children’s health. In my spare time I enjoy doing activities with my family and two children.

Nurse Kaye

  • I completed my medical degree in France in 2003. For the past 20 years, I've mainly worked in rural general practices in France, but I also spent 1 year working in dispensaries in the Amazon rainforest and overwintered as the head doctor in the 'Concordia' station on the Antarctic plateau.

    I love the diversity of general practice, whether it's chronic care management, minor surgery, gynaecology or paediatrics.

    I moved to New Zealand in early 2025 with my husband and our daughter. In my spare time, I enjoy reading and outdoor activities. I speak English and French.

Dr Nausheen Shaikh – GP with interests in adolescent, women’s, and mental health

  • I am originally from Pakistan where I completed my  primary medical qualification. I have worked as a GP both at home and abroad in primary care, as well as with voluntary organisations providing quality health care to underprivileged communities.

    As a mum to three beautiful young adults, I have a special connection with adolescent health. I also have a special interest in women’s health especially post-menopausal issues and mental health.

    Outside the clinic I am passionate about social work and love cooking for friends and family.
