“Got my mole removed here the other day and overall really positive experience. Sam and nurse were very nice and happy with result thank you so much :)”

“I can truly say that Dr Spencer is one of the best dentists I have ever seen. As someone with crippling dental phobia I put off going to the dentist for as long as I possibly could and last week I could not put it off any longer. I went to another dentist and they were nice enough but recommended I go somewhere that offers sedation due to my anxiety. Luckily for us we found Hibiscus Care Dental. To my trepidation they called me on Sunday to book a pre-op/treatment consultation for Monday and the procedure for Tuesday. On Monday they gave me a courtesy call to let me know they would be running 10min late (how good!!!) I arrived and was seen almost immediately, Dr Spencer put me so at ease so quickly that I didn't require sedation and even suggested we do the procedure right then despite it being after hours. It was painless and throughout the procedure he was fantastic, checking in on me and giving me updates. In the following days I had concerns and each time I reached out to Dr Spencer he recommended I come in for my own peace of mind. Both times he did a quick check in and let me know all was as it should be. His patience, care and skill has made the whole experience so positive and I won't say my anxiety is completely gone but I have a lot less fear as a direct result of his care. I cannot thank you enough Dr Spencer!”

“Tersia is an exceptional therapist and a truly wonderful human being. From the moment I met her, I felt safe and nurtured in her presence, which is incredibly important to me. She has a remarkable ability to help untangle what once felt overwhelming and has empowered me with tools that I can use to navigate my life. Tersia’s genuine care for the person she is working with shines through in every session, evident in the thoughtful insights and support she provides. I feel deeply grateful to have crossed paths with her and for the positive impact she has had on my journey.”

“Found the best: With having sensitive skin I was nervous getting a wax as I've had a reaction before. However my sister said Amy would take care of me as they use only the best products. I cannot be more pleased with my experience, already been a second time, with future bookings to come. Amy made me feel comfortable and made sure she was tailoring the wax to my preference. Amy and Sue are so welcoming, friendly and make you feel like you have known them forever.”

“David is an awesome person. I had a sore back and strained muscles for a long time, and the work he did really helped a lot. As well as being a good practitioner, he is a great person!”

“I started classes at reconnection training last summer and they have been absolutely amazing for so many reasons. I consider myself as reasonably fit with an active physical job, Gabrielle always pushes me to reach new strengths and boundaries whilst looking out meticulously at form and movement. The classes are always very varied and different and have strong movement focus which has increased my flexibility and strength in muscles I didn't even know I had. I always come away feeling muscle soreness (in a good way) I love that the sessions are outdoors on the beach when the weather omits and it's such a great start to the day with swims in the sea afterwards (totally optional lol) We always have a great laugh when working out and there's always people of varying abilities which are all accommodated for. I couldn't recommend these classes enough!”

“If you are looking for a place to bring the family to give them the essential martial arts and self-defence skills then look no further. I have been a member myself for almost a decade now, and my all of kids have benefitted as well. Master Callum has built an outstanding school with so much to offer - whether that is traditional hapkido, weapons, ground skills, sparring and self-defence. I have learned so much and still have so much to look forward to in my journey here. The community is so supportive. We've all gained confidence, resilience, and valuable self-defence skills. Highly recommend for both kids and adults, men and women. Come give martial arts a try, you'll be better for it.”

“Great service. Brilliant products. Free lozenges with honey. Very happy with them.”

“I saw Andrew to address my Shin Splints injury and get new orthotics, he was absolutely wonderful! He is very thorough, spending a decent amount of time with you to get the full picture, and discuss a recovery plan. He gave me a lot of confidence moving forward with my injury and get back to running. Highly recommend him and the team at Waikato Podiatry, they were very friendly and helpful.”

“Absolutely love dancing with VPC. As an adult I was nervous to join a new class, especially the ballet as I had never done it before but always wanted to. I was welcomed so warmly and have felt supported and part of the team from the moment I arrived. Highly recommend to anyone wanting to give it a go for the first time or even just wanting to get back into dance.”

“I had the most divine pregnancy massage with Kat. Amazing facilities and top service. Can’t wait to come back!”

“Everyone is very supportive, the classes and services are all fun and are varied so that you can develop in all areas of health, fitness and wellbeing, on top of this the atmosphere is bliss!”

“Stayed here for work purposes and it was one of the best stays I've had in Hawke's Bay! Kate was great to work with during the booking process and made sure our group was well looked after! The house was clean, big, and modern and had everything you needed. I would definitely come back again :)”

“Wesley Acupunture is one of the best acupunturist I've ever been too. His care and concern in treating my back issue was "A" star. The spa like music played while receiving my treatment made me feel very comfortable and relaxed. I would definitely come back here should I need any further treatments. Trusted place to get treated for any body issue...”

“Highly recommend this family run health clinic. They are highly competent practitioners and generous in offering their skills to help you gain specific and overall health improvement. Good at explaining what is offered and ensuring that you are comfortable while receiving the treatments. They were recommended to me by a local and I had a short wait for my appointment. It was worth the wait people !! I'm very glad I thought to try this clinic for TCM. Its not often you meet with this holistic generosity today. Sincere thanks to Winnie and Team”

“Our daughter has just completed her Invisalign sessions which she is extremely happy with as well as ourselves. It only took a year, and she now has a perfect smile. Her teeth where pretty good to start with however this has positioned her teeth into perfect alignment as well as widening her smile. Gavin Cho and the team at The Wellington Dental Practice where wonderful to work with, providing the expertise whilst informing and guiding us every step of the way . An amazing experience when I compare it to braces 40 years ago! Brilliant to see how technology has evolved to make the process of teeth correction, faster, easier and pain free! Highly recommend!”

“Excellent ... dog has a stick stuck in throat, sorted very quickly ... lovely people”

“After my previous dentist retired a year ago I've seen Rob a handful of times so far & been very happy with the dental work provided. Rob is friendly, professional & is excellent at showing/explaining the situation with each tooth before work is undertaken.”

“Very friendly and competent staff. They ordered special safety glasses for me which took only 2 days. Super Service!!!”

“Friendly staff and appointment were on time. I never felt rushed and received some good clear instructions and advice on my yorkies treatment. Well done and thank you!”

“This store has a massive range of protein powders and supplements that would be great for anyone to use! As well as lovely staff making the environment warm and welcoming!!”

“I have been going to Studio 16 pilates for two years now. Great instructors with extensive knowledge in pilates. The instructors easily adapt exercises to suit individual needs. Awesome atmosphere and I always feel welcome and throughly enjoy the classes. My body shape has totally changed for the better. I am stronger and leaner than I ever was. Best pilates studio ever thanks to Danny and the team.”

“Hilary is a very warm, welcoming, supportive, caring and understanding Counsellor. Hilary helped me get through some deep rooted grief that I had been trying to overcome for years and for that I am very grateful. I Highly recommend her as a therapist.”

“It was our constant struggle to bring our daughter to the dentist ever since she was little. We brought her to different dentists but no one could manage her fear and anxiety as she would always bawl and flail her hands. One even recommended to have her sedated which I was quite hesitant to do. Fortunately, Dr. Dee is exceptionally great in handling children. She is very patient in explaining the procedure and giving our daughter an assurance that she has control of the situation, taking her worries away. Our daughter was able to have six fillings done (multiple visits) - not even a single drama. The secretary is also approachable and very warm. Overall great service. Couldn’t recommend them enough.”

“Absolutely the best place to go for any pain or injury. Graeme has amazing knowledge and experience about the body, both skeletal and muscular. He very quickly works out what is going on and gets it fixed as fast as possible. He especially focuses on getting you back to full health rather than making you dependent on him. He has cured my tennis elbow, frozen shoulder, back spasms and other minor issues and I have also taken my children to him for joint or muscle pain. I tell all my friends and when they finally go, they say they wish they had gone sooner!”

“I’ve trained here almost 9 months now, walking in as an absolute beginner with no previous martial arts or combat sport experience. My body has changed significantly, and I have definition in my muscles for the first time in my life. My cardio has improved significantly. Sime is an excellent coach, and so patient with myself (slow learner) and my roudy kids. I highly commend him for that. He definitely knows what he’s doing. I feel safe and supported in this learning environment and confident to go at my own pace. I’ve witnessed many of the fighters compete and win Golds multiple times, thanks to Sime and his coaching. The community at Eastside Grapplers has become like family to my kids and I due to the family friendly vibes. My kids enjoy training here as well and have made so many friends! The gym itself is clean and hygienic. Close to home, and affordable for my family and I. I’ve introduced this gym to my friends and cousins and would absolutely recommend to trial a class to others.”
