He didn't offer a follow-up appointment. I had the best week ever because the inflammatory condition was paused completely. BUT. NO. TAPER. !!! I thought I was going to die from the prednisone withdrawal effects. Felt like the worst flu ever. Every muscle, every inch of my body hurt. When I tried to get in touch, no call back. When I physically went in to try to get an appointment, his horrible assistant tried to diagnose me and wouldn't give me an appointment. WTF!! WORST. DR. EVER.

Dr Light is my adult son's physician and he is an excellent doctor on so many levels. His…read morediagnostic skills, his approach and most importantly he reads his patients and knows how to direct them and support them in a healthier life style. He is an old school doctor who treats the person not the condition and that is rare today. He is a jewel. He looks for what may be under the surface and less obvious in his patients. A rare quality in this day and age of rushing through everything. He takes his time and really lets them know they are important and his time during their appointments is theirs.

Wish I could say nice things but the overall attitude and service of the entire Montage Medical…read moreGroup is just lousy. (All Locations) Appointments are difficult to get, Doctors spend very little time with the patient leaving most of the work to their assistants. Getting a prescription refilled or transferred is a major task as half the doctors do not even respond to these requests and a quarter of them don't get it right when they do respond. Trying to reach someone on the phone normally requires several messages and hoping for a call back. The doctors have no clue as to how backed up other services are and write an order for an ultrasound or CT scan for a specific time frame only to have the patient discover the earliest appointment is a month after the doctor wanted the service.

I just read in the "Monterey Herald" that Bergstrom is out of prison. I assume that the revocation…read moreof his medical license was "for life" but just in case Bergstrom is ever allowed to practice medicine again, I'm posting this quote from the January 25, 2013 "Monterey County Herald" "Immediately after the conviction, Bergstrom gave up his medical license in California...just as California's Medical Board took steps to revoke his license because of the case." "The board cited several additional reasons for the revocation based on audio recordings of Bergstrom, including jailhouse phone calls that indicated he was practicing medicine while in Monterey County Jail." "According to court records, Bergstrom once inadvertently left a dictation machine running in his office that recorded him offering to sell cocaine or trade it for sex. He admitted at trial that he traded prescription drugs for cocaine." At one point, Bergstrom was my elderly parents' doctor. Bergstrom did not have the patience to care for geriatric patients. Bergstrom may have been good with tall, thin, young, leggy blonde gals BUT I cannot recommend him for senior citizens.

Dr. Saito has shown her caring and thorough diagnosis to me, her patient. I was very impressed when I receive Dr. Saito's letter explaining about my health when she first transferred to work with the Montage in Carmel because the clinic has very limited a period of times to see a patient. Dr. Saito has always tried to do her very thorough diagnosis work for her patients disregarding the very limited time policy of the clinic.

I had a really bad respiratory infection that just would NOT go away. I was coughing and couldn't breathe and was generally miserable. I saw Dr. Bruemmer several times during a 3 week period and nothing helped. Finally, she ordered me to the Emergency Room at CHOMP - good thing she did as I ended up having pulmonary emboli and could have died. Funny thing is that her partner in the practice - Dr. Light - helped the ER doc diagnose my emboli OVER THE PHONE -- Yeah, I'm not trading my docs for ANYTHING -- They ROCK!!!!

It's a real shame that doctors have decided to price gouge and create a class divide among people simply to line their pockets with more money. These doctors who model their businesses after country clubs should not be listed on healthcare websites as options for people with health insurance if they charge this extortion fee.
