I have been coming to Dr Palekars practice for a number of years now and always found him to be attentive and provided great service, I found that he also has a good sense of humour which is rare these days

Bulk billing factory. You make an appointment, you wait in the waiting room for at least 1/2 an hour (20 mins if you make a really early appointment), you see the doctor and you're out of his office in 2 minutes.

I have visited Dr Zahid Palekar several times. Each time I was disappointed with his service but due to the inconvenience of finding another doctor gave him the chance to reprove his abilities. I understand that we are human and are never always at our best every single day - I gave him the benefit of the doubt. However today was his last opportunity. During my experiences with Dr. Palekar I feel that he shows very little interest, it seems like her doesn’t care. Dr. Palekar provided very little feedback each time I saw him and I felt like I needed to manage him in order to get the best results out of my visit. As you can imagine this is extremely disappointing. My advice would be to try someone else before booking an appointment with Dr Zahid Palekar.
With kind regards and respect for your time,

I went their to test myself to see if i was infertile. a few weeks later the rusluts came in that i was. 6 years later i have 2 boys. beautiful ones at that. i think this practise needs to sharpen up a bit, thought\ the friendly service was great and the atmosphere was nice and cosy for the sick. not reccomended.

Hi Stephanies17, while we were saddened to read of your issues with infertility, we were thrilled to note that you have successfully birthed two boys. Irrespective of what any clinic, hospital or general practitioner tells you (or advertises), there are no guarantees when it comes to health/medical issues. Indeed, many practitioners throughout history have been left with ‘egg on their faces’ after making a pronouncement that proved inaccurate. When it comes to the topic of infertility, there are many factors that can influence one’s chance of becoming pregnant and at the end of the day; no medical professional can guarantee such things. Thanks for the review and for your impeccable TrustFactor. Reeces

Excellent practice, and Dr Palekar is an attentive individual with a unique sense of care for his patients rather than processing me as you would expect at most GP's these days. Im staying put, and having to wait is definately worth it.

Dr. Palekar is a warm and intuitive gentleman. He is your typical respectable doctor who gives fantastic advice and you can feel very comfortable with.
Sabrina at the desk is extremely friendly and attentive.
A vastly better experience than most practices I've been to and I'm staying put now!

Approximate cost: $60
