I was overwhelmed and frightened, but Dr. Silk's kind, calm demeanor and incredible patience immediately put me at ease. His compassion and the supportive, caring staff made a world of difference during such a difficult time. Fast forward 14 years, I decided to have a revision of my lumpectomy along with a tummy tuck. Without hesitation, I went back to Dr. Silk -- and I'm so glad I did. If it's even possible, he was even better this time around. His professionalism, skill, and genuine care for his patients are unmatched. I can't recommend him highly enough. I've referred all of my friends to him and will continue to do so. Dr. Silk truly changed my life -- not once, but twice. Forever grateful.

Giving this facility even one star is being overly generous. Never in my life have I ever witnessed…read moresuch a disregard for patient well-being in a proposed "care facility" like I have at this clinic. Such disrespect and condescending natures among the staff members here--it's absolutely abhorrent. My mother was here recently seeking the medical services and advice of Dr. Bert Tardieu for some unsightly shoulder pain as a result of an injury she sustained. However, rather than any useful medical advice, what she received instead was a large serving of horrendous bedside manner and a side of disrespect. Dr. Tardieu failed to treat my mother. During this appointment--a whopping 15 minutes at best, mind you--He proceeded to talk over her, belittle her and even talk down to her. Whilst cross examining her symptoms to the image report that he received he made my mother feel extremely uncomfortable. He down played her pain and borderline made her feel like it was a fabricated event. By the end of the appointment, my mother was practically racing for the door--and I truly don't blame her. When I asked for the names of the PT's that he was referring her to, he responded simply, " Well, I don't know their names but I know that they're probably pretty good." How on Earth does a doctor not know the names of the physical therapists IN HIS OWN PRACTICE that he plans on sending a patient to?? Dr. Tardieu is incredibly arrogant. I sincerely believe that he would benefit greatly from some re-education ON ALL FRONTS... because he is the LEAST patient focused individual I've ever interacted with in the medical field. With that said, if you choose to "receive care" at this location--be advised--you are not entering a care facility. You are being churned in and out of a patient factory that cares more about what your insurance will pay versus alleviating the pain you are suffering from. There are a few caring souls sprinkled throughout the facility, but most are impatient, will ignore your questions and be unnecessarily rude when they speak to you. I hope SVMC sees this and takes immediate action to prevent others from having to endure such a traumatic experience.

WORLD CLASS. AMAZING. FABULOUS. IMPRESSIVE. It's the…read moreabsolute truth about this doctor. Dr. Bernadette Guiroy was my surgeon, when I was diagnosed with Stage 3 Breast Cancer. I was referred by the Nancy Ausonio Breast Health Center in Salinas, CA. Her Expertise and Compassionate Care of me as her patient was phenomenal. Every doctor, nurse or staff person that I encountered in my cancer treatment, RAVED about Dr. Guiroy. Her reputation is second to none, and she's highly respected by her peers. Now, I'm a believer, and a fan. I myself, must rave about Dr. Guiroy because of her top quality care. Patience to explain options, details, and everything specific to my own cancer journey. She listened to me. She heard me. She had my back. Her technical skills are outstanding. This is a surgeon who has the experience and compassion to give you the very highest level of care and best chance for a successful result.

I suffered with debilitating back issues/pain for several years, floating from doctor to doctor, looking for any type of relief. I was lucky enough to get an appointment rather quickly with Dr. Halamendaris. Within 5 minutes of meeting him, and his review of my most recent MRI, he opined that I can continue to do the things I am trying to make work, but nothing will "fix" me without surgery. I said let's do it. Surgery was done 3 weeks later and I woke up from surgery and have been 100% pain free from that day. I am so appreciative of Dr. Halamendaris and the outcome of this surgery. I cannot recommend him strongly enough.

I rarely leave negative reviews, but my experience with Dr. Holamandara's office has been extremely…read morefrustrating and disappointing. Since the beginning of this year, I have been trying to schedule an appointment. Instead of helping me move forward, the assistant told me that Dr. Holamandara would not see me until I had an MRI. She instructed me to ask my primary care physician to order it. That made no sense because the specialist is the one requesting the MRI and should be responsible for providing the appropriate referral or coordinating the necessary steps. Because I had previously seen Dr. Pativanda for the same condition, I was then told that they would contact Dr. Pativanda's office to request the MRI referral. That was over four months ago. Since then, I have called both offices every couple of weeks asking for an update. Dr. Holamandara's office and Dr. Pativanda's office are located directly across from each other in the same building, yet no one seems able to communicate or provide answers. Neither office has followed up with me, returned my calls with a solution, or taken ownership of resolving the issue. The lack of communication, coordination, and accountability has delayed my medical care for months. As a patient, I should not have to spend months chasing down referrals and repeatedly calling multiple offices just to get a simple answer. Patients deserve timely communication, clear guidance, and staff who are willing to help instead of passing responsibility to someone else. I hope this office improves its patient care and communication because no one seeking medical treatment should have to go through this experience.
