1 Health offers Christchurch’s most comprehensive ear microsuction service by combining expert wax removal with a full suite of extra clinical options and patient support that most clinics do not provide.


What Sets 1 Health Apart

·       Alongside professional ear microsuction, patients have access to ear swab tests for diagnosing infections, convenient prescription ear drops, and the ability to have medication dispensed onsite—streamlining the care journey and avoiding extra trips to the pharmacy or doctor.

·       Enrollment benefits allow patients to reduce the cost of their microsuction visit and receive discounts for pre-paying or for follow-up appointments, making ongoing ear care more affordable and accessible.

·       Immediate access to on-site general practitioners means that if any medical concerns are discovered during your ear cleaning, these can be addressed and managed in one visit—a major advantage compared to most ear care clinics, where further appointments elsewhere are required.


Comprehensive Ear Care Benefits

·       Swab testing, drop prescriptions, and medicine dispensing are rarely offered at ear microsuction clinics—instead, patients at other clinics are generally required to see their own GP for these services and visit a pharmacy separately.

·       The presence of trained doctors and nurses ensures safe ear cleaning, prompt escalation for infections or complex findings, and seamless integration into your broader healthcare

·       Discounts and bundled care options reward regular patients and reduce barriers to receiving prompt, expert ear health support.


Why Choose 1 Health for Ear Microsuction

·       Comprehensive care extends beyond wax removal to rapid diagnosis, prescription, and dispensing—all within one appointment.

·       Onsite medical support from doctors alongside experienced nurses is unique among Christchurch clinics and underlines a commitment to patient safety and convenience.

·       This integrated, patient-focused model ensures that 1 Health can address not just earwax, but all the underlying or associated issues, delivering value and peace of mind not found in basic ear cleaning providers.



1 Health stands out for its bundled clinical care, immediate access to prescriptions and medication dispensing, and integration with GP-level consultations. Most other clinics focus solely on earwax removal, with further care requiring outside appointments.
