Born and raised in Matamata, Dr. Steve Joe completed his medical degree at Auckland University. His early career was shaped by a passion for integrative care—a passion ignited during an acupuncture course shortly after graduation. With over 40 years of experience in general practice, during which he provided extensive obstetric care, Steve has seamlessly integrated complementary therapies into his practice. He is registered with the Medical Council as a GP. His approach is rooted in a deep commitment to understanding the complexity of patient illnesses and delivering personalised care that draws on the best of both conventional and complementary medicine.

In addition to his clinical work, Steve has pursued training in applied kinesiology. He has many areas of expertise which includes chronic fatigue, IBS, depression/anxiety, long COVID, autism, cancer and mould toxicity. Outside of medicine, he is a devoted family man, married with three adult children and four grandchildren. An active relaxer at heart, he enjoys mountain biking, tennis, golf, and traveling—interests that reflect his balanced approach to life and work.
