About us

Kia ora and welcome to Tend Invercargill Elles Road Medical Centre (formerly Vercoe Brown & Associates). Our practice began in Georgetown after the Second World War and has been at 82 Elles Road since 1994, caring for generations of local families. In October 2026 we joined Tend, alongside our sister clinic Tend Invercargill Don Street. Same familiar faces, more ways to get care.

Whether you need a routine check-up, ongoing healthcare or support for a new health concern, we're here to help. You can visit us in-clinic or see a Tend GP online 24/7, giving you flexible access to care wherever you are.

With the Tend app, managing your healthcare is simple. Book appointments, order repeat prescriptions, view test results and keep track of your family's health, all in one place.
