Dr Glen Davies - General Practitioner

Working in Mangakino feels like returning home. I lived in Mangakino between 1976 and 1980 when my Father was the Presbyterian minister in Mangakino.

After high school I studied medicine in Dunedin and then clinical school in Christchurch. House surgeon years in Tauranga Hospital before working in a mission hospital in PNG for 2 years.

I was been a GP in Taupo until starting a metabolic health clinic in Taupo with the other directors of the Mangakino Health Centre.

My particular interest is restoring health with nutrition and lifestyle medicine.

I live in Kinloch with my wife Vanessa, and we have 5 adult children. We spend our time looking after our lifestyle property and everything in the outdoors.

Dr Dr Ximena Hunefeldt - General Practitioner

I grew up in Peru and Germany (I’m trilingual!), which has led to my varied interests and ability to think “outside of the box”. My medical education was completed in Germany, and during my career I have had a keen focus on drug and alcohol misuse, autoimmune diseases and ME, women’s health and hormones, as well as lifestyle and nutrition.

Outside of medicine I enjoy hiking, knitting socks, and embracing the outdoors.
