Dr Ivan Lau

GP

I graduated from medical school in Singapore in 1999 and have been practicing as a general practitioner for the last 25 years. My passion is to provide my best clinical care to patients across ages, cultures, and localities. I have worked across Asia, including major cities like Singapore, Shanghai, and Auckland; and have been involved in multiple medical missions to the more rural towns in Nepal and Cambodia.

As a GP, I love to help bring some cheer to families: treating young children, helping school going kids, providing medical advice to working adults, and having good conversations with more mature persons. My wife and I are based in Auckland. Our 3 daughters are almost all grown and are doing their tertiary studies in Auckland and Christchurch.

I communicate well in English and Chinese (Mandarin & Cantonese).

Dr Hemant Kheterpal

GP / Director

I completed my primary medical degree in 1998 and went on to work across a range of hospital specialties including Medicine, Surgery, Emergency and Trauma, Paediatrics, Geriatrics, Obstetrics and Gynaecology, and rural General Practice. I later moved to Singapore, where I pursued further training in Family Medicine. Over the years, I have also developed a strong interest in dermatoscopic skin checks and minor surgical procedures.

I have been working in General Practice since 2005. With over 27 years of experience, I’ve had the opportunity to care for patients with a wide variety of health concerns. I am also a Fellow of the Royal New Zealand College of General Practitioners (FRNZCGP). After gaining experience in Singapore and working in both Masterton and Auckland, I chose to take on the role of GP owner and clinic director. It felt like a natural step, and I value the opportunity to contribute to the community that has supported my growth as a doctor.

I work alongside my wife, Dr. Alka Kheterpal, who is also a GP. She is especially appreciated by many of our female patients for her approachable and thorough care. Our elder son is currently finishing his medical degree at the University of Auckland and is looking forward to starting his own path in medicine.

Outside of work, I enjoy art, travelling, and spending time in nature.

I can speak fluent English, Hindi and Punjabi.

Dr Anuj Gupta

GP

I completed my higher studies in Family Medicine in 2014 from the National University of Singapore, and thereafter moved to New Zealand in 2016.  I am also a Fellow of the Royal New Zealand College of General Practitioners (FRNZCGP). I am interested in all aspects of general practice, from young through to the elderly. I have a special interest in men’s health, chronic disease management, and the treatment of allergic disorders like asthma and atopic eczema. I am also interested in performing minor skin surgeries for my patients.

I have worked in general practice for 20 years, managing a wide spectrum of patients. I live with my wife, who is a ex-nurse, now recruiting overseas GPs for New Zealand. We have two teenage children and a group of furry friends who keep us on our toes.

I am comfortable talking to you in English, Hindi, and Malay

Dr Alka Kheterpal

GP

I have been working in general practice for over 22 years. During this time, I’ve gained valuable experience working with people from diverse cultural backgrounds across countries including India, Mauritius, Singapore, and now New Zealand. Before settling in Auckland, I worked in Masterton—the largest rural town in the Wairarapa region—which gave me a strong foundation in delivering care in both urban and rural settings.

I believe one of the most important qualities in a GP is the ability to truly listen to patients and understand their concerns. I aim to ensure every patient I see feels heard, respected, and cared for. Being accessible is another key part of my practice. I understand that life can be busy, and not everyone is able to make it to the clinic easily. I’m available three days a week, from morning until late afternoon, and I make it a priority to be there for my patients when they are unwell.

As a mother of two boys—one a teenager and the other growing quickly—I appreciate the value of family-centered care. Families have unique health needs, and I strive to support them at every stage of life. I have a special interest in women’s health, sexual health, and child health, along with managing a broad range of general medical concerns across all age groups.

I am comfortable talking to you in English, Hindi and Punjabi.

Following the retirement of our long-time receptionist, Shirley, we are pleased to welcome two new receptionists, Cathryn and Devina. Each brings their own unique set of skills, and they have quickly settled into their roles at the clinic. Jess, our long-standing receptionist, continues to handle most of the administrative tasks with her usual efficiency.” Our highly experienced nurses, Sharon, and Cheryl, have been taking care of you for many years. Gladys is our newest nurse who is very gentle and easygoing, someone whom you would love to share your problems with.
