Dunedin’s Roslyn Village, in the Roslyn commercial centre on Highgate, is quickly becoming a hub for healthcare providers in Dunedin.
Dentistry on Highgate and Hauman Endodontics have recently moved into the hub, joining the long standing Unichem Roslyn Pharmacy and Roslyn Physiotherapy.
These additions have breathed new life into the hub, and have developed a community where people can come for specialised healthcare advice and treatment.
Dentistry on Highgate is a preventative-focused practice that provides a full range of dental options, including general dentistry, dental hygiene and therapy, and specialist dental services.
The team is experienced, believing in the saying ‘‘prevention is better than cure’’. They achieved this for their patients through individually tailored dental solutions.
Unichem Roslyn Pharmacy is a foundation occupant of the Roslyn Village, continuing a long tradition of 40 years. Owners Andrew and Amy Hou have been there for the past 12 years.
Andrew and Amy Hou and the team at Unichem Roslyn Pharmacy would like to thank the local community for their support, especially over the last three years.
The pair have welcome the two new additions to Roslyn and are excited by what their arrival means for the village.

‘‘I love that we are all locally owned and operated businesses, working to towards the same goals — better health outcomes for our patients and community,’’ Andrew said.
The pharmacy offers lots of different services but what the pharmacists love doing is taking time out of the dispensary, helping their patients and taking time to give the customers information and knowledge to maximise their health outcomes.
Andrew said that when he trains new team members he likes to tell them they often only have 10 minutes at the most to make their patients get the most out of their medicines and supplements, so it is important to make the most out of every encounter.
To add to the experience is Liz, the in-house Natural Health Consultant with a background as a registered nurse, certified massage therapist and Reiki master. With her passion and proven experience using natural health solutions with medical treatment, you will be in excellent hands.
Liz offers private consultations on Saturdays between 10am and 3pm. Appointments are necessary as these are very popular.
Andrew, Amy and the team are always happy to help, whether it is a casual chat to reassure you or a private consult to figure out a better way. The doors are always open for you, ready for you to take action.
Tina Hauman, of Hauman Endodontics, moved into the Roslyn community in January. Tina specialises in root canal treatment of teeth and has practised as an endodontist in Dunedin for the past nine years.
As an endodontist she deals with complex problems related to the pulp (nerve) of the tooth. She believes in a team approach, and works with your referring dentist and/or other dental specialists, including the team at Dentistry on Highgate with whom she has had a long-standing working relationship, to ensure that you receive the best overall dental care.
Andrew, Amy and the team at Roslyn Pharmacy have been very welcoming and offer a convenient and great service to attending patients right on our doorstep. The team at Hauman Endodontics is very happy to be part of the ‘‘healthcare hub’’ at Roslyn Village.
