The Best 12 MEDICAL SERVICES near Carmel-by-the-Sea, CA (Part 3)

Daichi Sanssouci I am a senior citizen who has dealt with military doctors as well as civilian doctors here in California as well as Europe. Never in my life have I experienced healthcare as bad as what Montage Medical Group provided. Everything about Montage represents what is truly wrong with our healthcare system from trying to make an appointment or having a prescription refilled. Everything was a problem. One of the biggest problems however was the fact that my medical records contained incorrect information regarding my health. When these issues was brought to the attention of the office manager I was discharged as a patient from all of Montage Health. This left me without any doctors and I had to frantically search for new providers not affiliated with Montage. I found a great Cardiologist from Stanford and found a new general medicine doctor in downtown Monterey. I also notified the board of directors from Montage and was never contacted. Montage is definetly a true failure when it comes to providing healthcare to patients.

Aqua I have had nothing but exceptional experiences at my clinic. Dr. Chase, in particular, has been outstanding. She has consistently provided honest and straightforward guidance, working with me on every aspect of my health. Her dedication to patient care is evident in how she addresses all my concerns with utmost respect and attentiveness. Whenever I needed medical attention or a referral to a specialist, there was never any delay. I was always able to see the specialist promptly, which speaks volumes about the clinics efficiency and commitment to patient care. The personalized attention I receive from the medical team makes me feel that the care is genuinely tailored to my needs. Every visit has reinforced my appreciation for how the clinic operates. The professionalism, respect, and promptness of the entire staff have made my healthcare journey smooth and reassuring. I highly recommend this clinic for anyone seeking top-notch medical care.

Chris Heffner Dr. Park and her staff are outstanding. In fact, I would say without a doubt that Dr. Park is the best doctor I have ever had. She is very thorough and extremely kind and polite. She has helped improve my overall health and done so in a very enjoyable and easy to follow manner...always takes the time to explain things very clearly.

Hope Jenkins Made the mistake of choosing this terrible PCP who requires an in-person visit for each prescription refill, behaves unprofessionally, wandering out of appointments while still being spoken to, and vacillates between being dismissive and fully rude to her patients.

B Ramz As a new patient I have a Positive and Negative review. Dr. Nilmeier is a great Osteopath who’s treating patients there part-time. He has a pleasant manner, he listens and provides effective gentle body work as well as traditional medical care. However the front office is below par in: Answering calls, scheduling appointments and general communication with patients (every call requires being put on a long hold). They appear overwhelmed and under-staffed. They now require a “yearly administrative fee” of $xxx; although for 2020 this fee is only good for 6 months, and it’s payable again in January 2021. I hope they get their act together soon because they’re in a great location to serve many local patients.

Sue Stryker Dr. Gray has been my doctor for several years. He is smart, kind, caring and careful with my health issues. He has never rushed me. He has been very patient and answers all of my questions. I highly recommend him. Sue Stryker

Adriana Samuel I went in for a birth control implant removal and insertion of a new one. I told 2 different people i am very allergic to bandages. The latex adhesive rips my skin off. My doctor disregarded this and put Steri strips on my skin. This caused my skin to burn and itch. i slowly removed the strips and i had a blister on my skin as well as my skin being ripped off. Absolutely unacceptable.

Grace Marquez Location is easy to find close to the DMV, parking is semi private so it feels safer. I set up an appointment online easily and the office was very communicative when confirming my appt and answering questions prior to my date. Literally just got my birth control implant out which was easy enough and the nurses where very nice and gave me a lot of information and options to make me feel comfortable. I just had to wait about 1.5 hours for my scheduled appt, most likely due to insurance stuff, but make sure to donate to a wonderful cause that helps the community with basic healthcare

Yi Yang This is a terrible hospital. My family just moved in. My husband and I went to see a doctor for the first time. My husband has diabetes and will soon have to see a doctor to prescribe medicine. The doctor asked us to do a blood test to check our blood concentration. If the blood is too concentrated, he can recommend blood donation. About 20 days after we had the blood drawn, we received a fee of $1,700. After that, the insurance was deducted (we have Anthem medical insurance). I cant believe that we didnt receive any reports from the hospital or written notices from the doctor about our health status during the period when we received this bill. This is the first time we have seen the doctor of this hospital and he didnt tell us how to check the report. During this period, my husband didnt receive the medicine prescribed by the doctor, so he went to the hospital to find the staff the day before yesterday. They replied that the doctor would contact us on Monday, but they still didnt contact us. (The doctor wrote a new prescription for medicine) From 08/24/2024 to 20/12/2024, we didnt get any information about our health from this hospital. But I received a second reminder for such an irresponsible hospital and doctor. I have the responsibility to say that I dont want other patients who dont know this hospital to experience what we have.

LORRAINE GERSTL I found the woman at the front door who takes your temperature to be really rude, dismissive an un-co-operative. There was one person in the waiting room. She made me stand outside in the cold for 5 minutes while she went back into her office. She seemed totally put out that I wanted to have a shot, which I was told by the doctor, required no appointment, and that I could drop in at any time. She brusquely told me that i would have to wait an hour to have this shot!!! When I asked her to please check with the nurse, she turned on her heel, went into the office and came back saying it was too late anyway. It was 4:09!!! I am really disappointed at this treatment. It is not as if I wasnt prepared to pay for this shot. I am sure I would not have been treated this way at any other doctors office.

Alisha Ziadeh While I appreciate everything this office does, they are not really good with follow through. I waited a month for important test results and called them once a week while they continued saying the doctor hasnt signed off on them yet. Now I need a follow up ultrasound appointment and every time I call the medical assistant is not in the office, Ive been trying for 2 weeks just to get in touch with someone to be able to schedule it when they were supposed to be the ones to call me.

Jaylin Jayubo I have just moved to Monterey County, this was my first choice for obgyn because of location & insurance purposes. Ive been under Dr. Nina Amelio-Simulciks care & I have to say she is the absolute BEST obgyn Ive had. Ive moved around a lot thus far and Ive had a handful of doctors. But no one has been as kind, caring, & informative as Dr. Simulcik. I can tell and feel she genuinely cares about her patients. I love coming into the office knowing that Ill be cared for. As for the office staff, they are kind and timely. They answer the phone everytime I call & always call back when needed. As long as I reside in Monterey County, I will always recommend Montage OBGYN to woman.
