★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I thought this place would be patient friendly and thorough because of the previous reviews. Certainly the first Dr I met (approving me to move to his practice) was a very nice man. The receptionists are not friendly. Once I'd moved I was told my consultation fees would be $70 for the first 3 months. Who even does that? Almost no other practice.
I got a sore throat recently so booked in to the Dr (a different one this time). I was the last patient of the day so he had time to examine me. I spent about 2 mins in there. He looked at my tonsils, checked my neck for swollen glands, didn't take my temperature or swab my throat and then told me I had "possible strep." I got antibiotics and paid the $43 - a rip off since he misdiagnosed me. Antibiotics are only good for bacterial infections and I am still sick, this is a virus.
So, $43 down and I'm still sick because the man with 5 years training didn't swab even though he is REQUIRED to do so. Yes, I know others in the medical profession and the Dr's handbook says they must SWAB suspected cases of strep and throat infections. This is important since it can lead to rheumatic fever, etc. Why, Dr Mathew, did you not do so?
I have changed Dr's.
PS: Orbit, you owe me a refund.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ At first very friendly and kind, Dr Habib and Cathy the nurse were great. However receptionist Elizabeth and then Jan were incredibly rude when trying to make an early morning appointment. Saddle Road is closed after 8.30am so trying to save on extra travel time from Tararua. She stated there were no early appointments for the next 3 weeks, surely just being difficult. Plus waiting times were over an hour on a good day, which was never the case before so hoping early appointment would avoid sitting there wasting my time. Was extremely rude and offered no other times apart from 10.30am on April 16th. This time was not going to work for me so she told me to "sort out my priorities", the arrogance!! Have changed doctors, for myself and my family to our local one and suggest anyone considering a doctor to avoid Orbit Medical.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Don't expect your appointment to be at the time they said it'll be, most likely be close to an hour later of waiting. Don't waste your time or money on this doctors, highly recommend going to another

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Cant ask for better Doctor and receptionist team in Palmerston North
Dr. Habib has been so kind and much more helpful than expected. Just dont have words to thank him for his services and treatment he has provided my Wife in her illness.
He is nothing less than miracle for my family, he literally brought my wife back to life... after seeing few doctors in Palmy
Dr. Habibs, experience shows in his judgements, decisions and medications he provides.
Really grateful to you Dr. Habib, Elizabeth and (missed the name of other lady) - both the ladies on Reception
Thank you all so much. Cant ask for any better service

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Me and my family have been patients of Orbit Medical since 2014. We have found all staff at Orbit Medical to be professional and polite and have never had any problems. Both Jan and Elizabeth, whom I know well, are very good receptionists and have always been helpful and friendly. When you walk in you are always acknowledged and greeted with a warm smile.
I would highly recommend Orbit Medical to everyone looking for a good doctor.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Dr. Habib is the best doctor in Palmerston North. Really a gem of person who genuinely is very caring person. And the way he treats people is way better than doctors in "The Palms" or "City Doctors". His experience reflects his treatments.
Very friendly and polite reception team as well.
If you are in Palmerston North and ever get any health issues, look no where else.
Bless you Dr. Habib

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I’ve had several great experiences here. The nurse is wonderful, the receptionists helpful and we had two appointments with an older Dr who was lovely. Dr Habib was very attentive, listened carefully and was very helpful on my second appointment with him. This was very different from my first one, where he seemed distracted. He came highly recommended to me from family who have found him to be a very good and caring Dr.
