She was able to communicate with my Spanish speaking aunt. She was very kind and helped my aunt with her legs and feet. She trimmed her chronic ingrown toenails and gave her advice for her condition. She had great advice. Examined her feet, arteries, pulse points and veins. She was insightful and helpful with great advice on how to care for my aunts wounds. She gave detailed instructions and even showed us how to apply the compression socks. She also gave my aunt a prescription to treat her condition. I would 100% recommend Dr Kraft. Thank you

Monterey Spine and Joint was taken over by Montage last year. I have heard nothing but complaints…read morefrom long time MSJ patients since then. They also have extremely negative reviews on Nextdoor and other social media since the changeover occurred. Well I can confirm all the criticism is correct. I called to make an appointment with Dr Scott Smith, who is a podiatrist, after I was referred by my doctor. I couldn't get past the idiot who answered the phone. Tip #1: If you're going to have a medical office in Monterey the person answering the phone and doing the scheduling needs to speak fluent English. Broken English won't cut it. The person never provided his name, but he sounded Asian, and he had trouble speaking and understanding English. Tip #2: The person answering the phone needs to be familiar with what conditions the doctor treats. This guy had no idea what conditions Dr. Smith does and does not treat. He also had no idea how to make an appointment. After wasting 10 minutes of my time with this idiot, and getting absolutely nowhere, I finally hung up in frustration. All the criticism about the Montage takeover of MSJ is accurate. A lot of the good employees of Monterey Spine and Joint left, so now customers have to deal with the idiots from Montage, which has had a terrible reputation for many, many years.
