A very genuine doctor. Sadly, I can only choose 1 description for my doctor. I would choose all options for this doctor if possible. It’s really hard to find such quality doctors nowadays. A really model doctor and highly recommended
as a first timer, Dr. Orata explained everything to me in a simple way and is very patient
Doc Orata completely turned around my past experience with doctor on here. He’s the best I’ve booked so far — and that’s coming from someone who’s been a NowServing user for a while now. He explained every single medication, made sure I felt reassured, and even threw in some helpful tips.
Doc Shalom is very accommodating and does not make you feel rushed.
Very fast, efficient, and hassle-free service! Dr. Orata was very prompt in attending to my request and sent over my prescription right away. Highly recommended!
Dr. Shalom Orata is an excellent doctor. He is very caring, communicates clearly, and makes patients feel comfortable and safe. I truly felt I was in good hands throughout the consultation. Highly recommended!
Ang gaan ni doc kausap at talaga ihhelp ka sa nararamdaman mo. ambait pa thank you so much poooo
It’s my first time using telehealth consult and this helped me so much as I always travel abroad. I love the convenience and especially Dr. Orata, he’s really great, helpful and his communication is top notch! Thank you po Doc
Thanks Dr. Orata! It was first time that a doctor explained my prescriptions.
I thought it would take some time, but once the payment was completed, it only took a few seconds before Doc Shalom was able to address my concerns.
Dr. Orata was professional yet he was able to make his patient feel safe to share her symptoms and history. He is good at communicating and giving medical advice; anybody can easily open up to him and follow his instructions.
Very approachable Doctor. Good communicator. High sense of humor that makes patient comfortable. Thank you Doc
