Dr. Joseph Habis, MD

Dr Habis treated me & my elderly husband. He was caring, kind & thorough. He explained everything & ordered all necessary tests & imaging.

An excellent listener and treats patients with respect. Easy to get an appointment and efficiently run office with pleasant people.

El Dr. Habis es excelente Dr. ha visto a mi esposo por muchos años y estamos super satisfechos con su servicios. Es muy profesional y muy competente. Gracias Dr Habis. Isela Talarico

He’s been my doctor for about 10 years now, he’s never too busy to find out what’s going on with me or to send me information. He’s patient and kind and everything you look for in a doctor.

Surprise $575 new patient fee that was never disclosed beforehand. Long wait, no resolution of relatively minor issue. Spent less than 5 minutes with me after very long wait. Awful.

While he's a competent doctor, the office is a mess. You get put on hold forever trying to schedule an a appointment. Getting a prescription refilled is a hardship. The office is set up as a factory, and a not so well run factory. Charles Louer San Anselmo.

BE ADVISED! This is only my experience and may not be what others have encountered with this practice. In January 2019 I was charged $867.00 for a first time office visit with Dr Joseph Habis. I scheduled this visit strictly for a prescription refill as my former Primary Care physician had retired and I was in need of a quick refill. At no time was I advised that a first time visit charge would be incurred, or that the total office visit of ~10 minutes with Dr Habis would be $867. Absolutely ludicrous and shameless. The reason I am writing about this now (10/19) as I had called the billing department and left messages 9 times these past 9 mos, and just today spoke with a billing clerk (Kelsey in Dallas) about this first time visit charge. As she described the first time charge, she also was unable to delineate the difference in cost between a first time charge and an existing patient office visit charge. If you schedule an appointment with this doctor/practice be forewarned.

I am going to copy the review of the previous person with the exception that I waited 90 minutes. I basically agree with everything those who left negative comments here, as I can identify with the same issues other patients had. First, he always makes me wait for an hour, even when I see there are no patients waiting in the reception area. So, the staff cover for him and say he is busy with other patients; but I often see him standing with his laptop on a counter talking to new doctors/trainees. I think his main function at Prima Medical Group is to train young doctors and then he sees a few patients in between when he feels like it. Last time I was visiting him, he first sent in a nurse to get some medical information and to take my vital signs. Then after 45 minutes, a young doctor/trainee came to my room and then asked the same questions and after I complained about all this waiting, Dr. Habis finally showed up for 5 minutes. What a scam !

It appears these two person who came to my room, were basically killing time and keeping me busy.

Dr. Habis was late for our appointment by slightly over one hour. During the appointment I was treated with incredulity, and at one point he condescended to me.

I’ve been going to Doctor Habis for over 10 years now and he’s always taken good care of my health. Everything from a herniated dusk to stomach viruses contracted overseas; he’s always been there to help me. Friendly and to-the-point, Doctor Habis is a great primary. I trust him and would recommend him to anyone in need of a primary doctor. Thanks!

While he's a very good doctor, the office is a mess. You get put on hold forever trying to schedule an a appointment. The office is set up as a factory.

If I could give ZERO stars I would! Absolutely the no bedside manner at all! Didn't introduce himself to me or my wife. The proceeded to insult me regarding my condition, then paraded me around to his colleagues without first asking me if it was ok for them to come into my exam room! Was this a prank or what!?!?! Could not believe he was an actual doctor, seemed more like a clown to me!

Dr. Habis failed to diagnose cancer at a stage where it could have been treated.

Dr. Habis is personable, skilled, ethical and overall just a great primary care doctor.

Dr Habis must have been absent in med school on the day they taught bedside manner and concern for the patient. I'll be changing primary physicians right away. Definitely see him if you enjoy being treated like a cog in the Prima Machine.
