Accessible cardiac care with telehealth appointments

A number of our clients struggle to attend in-person appointments, whether due to mobility issues or because they live rurally, or outside the Waikato region.
As part of our focus on making timely cardiac care accessible to more New Zealanders, we offer telehealth appointments, where you'll receive the same standard of care, but from the comfort of home.

While some appointments must happen in person whenever possible, we are happy to offer online and phone options.

We want every patient to feel comfortable asking questions and understanding their care. If you’d like an interpreter or translator for your consultation or hospital stay, let us know when booking your appointment.

Language services are available both in person and via telehealth.

We encourage families to get involved throughout your monitoring and treatment. You’re welcome to bring a support person to consultations and participate in the process alongside you. Open communication helps everyone feel informed and confident about what’s ahead.

We also know that recovery doesn’t just involve the patient. Our team is here to guide families too, explaining what to expect after surgery, offering advice to support recovery, and helping them feel part of the process. When family and clinicians work together, it makes a real difference to recovery and wellbeing.

Undergoing heart surgery can feel daunting. We pride ourselves on transparency, providing clear explanations of costs and payment options so you and your family feel informed and supported.

Insurance support
We know that dealing with insurance can be complicated. We work with all New Zealand health insurers and can assist with pre-approvals, paperwork, and queries.

Funding pathways
For patients who wish to access private heart surgery treatments without insurance, we offer transparent pricing and a process that is easy to navigate.

Financial guidance
Not quite sure how it all works? Our team are always happy to talk through insurance coverage and the costs involved before treatment begins, so there are no surprises later

We recognise that healing is not just physical.

For many people, spiritual and cultural practices, such as karakia or prayer, are an important part of feeling supported before and during treatment.

If this is something that matters to you or your whānau, we help coordinate this as part of your care at Braemar Hospital.

We’re committed to providing care that respects each person’s values, beliefs, and background.

Strong cardiac care depends on more than surgery alone.

Clear referral pathways, timely assessment, and ongoing communication between clinicians all play a role in achieving the best outcomes for patients. It’s a team effort across the whole system.

At Heart Surgeon Group, we ensure all relevant professionals are involved in your care.
