Hi nyrem,

It is true, the doctor that needs to perform your medical must have been elected by the NZ govt. There is a list of all approved doctors and radiologists available on the NZIS website.

You might want to check the list to see if your doctor in on there. I really dont know how NZIS will feel about your medical not being done by an approved practitioner. They may request new medicals, or they may just accept what they have.
