Our Team
Dr. Jim Schimanski
BSc (Otago) BN BHB MBChB
My wife Madeleine and I live on a rocky lifestyle block with our seven kids. My time is divided between family, church, the Catholic College, and the Medical Centre - which keeps me busy enough.
My dream was always to practice in a small area, help young families prosper, and older people maintain their independence. My aim is to include the whole family unit as much as possible, as the essential building block of our society.
As a health worker with a Christian philosophy, I believe each person is created by God and it is my privilege to offer care, regardless of creed or nationality. I will take the utmost care of every one of our patients from conception to natural death.
I provide access to and support for education in Natural Family Planning, but do not provide abortion referrals or artificial birth control.
