Our Team

Anna Sinclair

General Practitioner FRNZCGP MBCHB DCH DIP GER MED

I grew up in Stratford, Taranaki and as a child I enjoyed visiting the family GP. I always knew that I wanted to be a GP and care for families. I graduated from Otago Medical School in 1992 and am a Fellow of the Royal NZ College of GPs. I have diplomas in Child Health and Geriatric Medicine, reflecting my interest in all ages of life.
 
I enjoy the diversity of general practice and the relationships I have built with my patients. I am a good listener and enjoy a great laugh! The Linden Surgery was my baby for many years and now has to share my attention with my three children. When not at Linden I am on the sunny Kapiti Coast being a mother, netball coach and taxi service.

John Langham

General Practitioner FRNZCGP MBCHB Auckland 2004

I grew up in Linden before training at Auckland Medical School. I am a generalist at heart, which has taken me through periods of specialist training in emergency medicine and general practice prior to returning to Linden Surgery.  I have completed further study in Skin Cancer medicine and surgery. 
 
I enjoy getting out on foot or by bike into the hills around Wellington with (and sometimes without) my four growing children.

Su Domingo

GENERAL PRACTITIONER

Melanie Bass

GENERAL PRACTITIONER

Kia Ora, I am a GP registrar at Linden Surgery. I work Monday – Wednesday and enjoy the diversity, rewards and challenges of GP work. As a Registrar, I am working towards my fellowship and have a great passion for supporting patients, advocacy and working towards more equitable practice. I originally completed an honours degree in Biomedical science at Victoria before embarking on medical school training at Auckland university, but ultimately Wellington has always pulled me home. Outside of work, I enjoy arts, sewing and getting out into the Wellington hills.

Piper

Nurse

Kia Ora, I graduated from Otago Polytechnic in 2021. My husband (Matt) and I then moved to Wellington with our two boys (cats) Berlioz and Brave.
My passion is care for those who identify as a part of the rainbow community, and making a safe environment for everyone!
In my spare time I tend to my farm, travel through outer space and fight dragons from the safety of my couch (digital adventures only, thank you). As well as going for walks and exploring what food Wellington has to offer.

Grace

Nurse (tuesdays)

Kia Ora! My name is Grace. I am Tokelauan, born and raised in Porirua. I completed my nursing degree in 2017 through the Pacific programme at Whitireia. I started practice nursing as a new grad and have been in primary care ever since. I chose primary care mainly because I had a young infant. I have since grown to appreciate the challenges that come with primary care.

I am super grateful that the team here at Tawa allows me the flexibility to work full time and also be present for my son. I
value spending time with my family. In my spare time, you’ll likely find me cooking or trying out new recipes. I also love fishing and karaoke (both of which I’m pretty average at). If you see me around, say hello.

Rahul

Podiatrist (based at Tawa Medical Tue, Wed, Fri)

I was born and raised in Southern India and moved to Wellington with my family in my early teens and completed my schooling in Wellington which is my home now.
After completing my Bachelor’s in Anatomy, and then Bachelor’s in Podiatry, I worked in Dunedin and Napier. I have finally moved back home to Wellington to be close to my family.
I am quite passionate about helping people with foot, ankle, knee and other lower limb problems. I love helping patients through their recover and rehabilitation and seeing them become pain-free. I believe that every patient has a unique story, and establishing a good history and report allows me to focus on the issue to give my undivided care, concern, and expertise.
In my spare time, I love to train at the gym, enjoy hiking and going for walks, spend time with my family and explore cafes and restaurants.

Lynette

Primary Care Practice Assistant

I started at Linden Surgery in 2007 as a receptionist, in 2019 I was given the opportunity to move into the role of Primary Care Practice Assistant, completing the course and gaining the NZ Certificate in Health and Wellbeing. I enjoy my role working with a wonderful team and the interaction I have with patients.
Having moved into Tawa when I was very young I have continued to live here, where along with my husband we have raised our two children. As a family of four we have enjoyed being part of the community. In the weekends I love time spent with my husband, going for walks, reading, baking and a doing variety of crafts.

Roz

Senior Medical Receptionist

I joined Linden Surgery after the birth of my daughter in 2001. I feel grateful to be working with such an amazing team and love my role as a receptionist. I enjoy working in the Linden/Tawa community and over the years watching families grow. In my spare time I enjoy family time, going for bike and scooter rides with my son and also a spot of fishing.

Angela Wilson

Practice Manager

I have been the Practice Manager of Linden Surgery and Tawa Medical Centre for over a decade. It is inspiring and a pleasure to work with teams from both sites who are committed to providing the best medical care they can to the Linden and Tawa communities.
