This Clinic is one of the most prestigious centers of the West Coast of the United States. We are so grateful to Dr. Shah and Dr. Kelh, because we are a team of cardiologists first professional category. Besides being excellent professional honesty in unimaginable. Here in Las Vegas I saw two cardiologists , one said he had to put three stents and open heart surgery . The other, who had to place him four stents. Instead Dr. Kelh said that diagnosis was precipitated and made the examinations and referred him to Dr. Shah . This underwent angioplasty and heart surgery requires no less stents. I highly recommend this clinic . Furthermore Hospital of Monterey Peninsula was built with donations from the rich and famous have their second homes , with state of the art equipment and the best doctors in the country .

I know that Dr. Tierney has moved away from Monterey. I have been a patient for years. My husband…read moregot covid and then myself, we were very sick. Dr. Tierney saved our lives. I can not imagine if she was not there for us by email and calling our son every other day to make sure we were doing all the vitamins, antibiotics and then encouraging my son to take me to CHOMP when I became worse. This experience was so difficult and we were scared that without proper medical advice, the outcome could have been deathly. I would have happily paid any doctor for life saving advice. During this time, we were not allowed to be seen in any local facility due to the high risks. So, emailing her was something that we will cherish.

I was hopeful that having a "concierge" doctor would allow for both time and attention for…read morereoccurring medical issues that in some practices might take months to be seen by a doctor. I was disappointed with the apparent inability for this doctor to actually listen to my concerns and respond appropriately. This became readily apparent after a "wellness" report was prepared that had statements on it that did not pertain to me. In other words, it appeared to be a cut and paste rendition of a report that had statements that were attributed to me that were never made or even broached with the doctor or his staff. I wrote the doctor with a detailed letter explaining many, though not all of these discrepancies, and did not get any response. I also contacted MDVIP, the group to which this doctor works with, to advise them that I was no longer wanting to be in the practice and would not be paying anymore quarterly fees for the service. The only response I have gotten from MDVIP is an unexpected phone call while sleeping at 6 a.m., at which time I reiterated that I was no longer a part of the practice. Even though they dialed my number with a Monterey area code, and have my home address in their system, I was told by the caller that she was unaware that I was in the Pacific coast time zone. Now I am receiving email requests from MDVIP for further payment. I do not recommend this medical practice or any association with MDVIP.

Access to Dr Sholeff is always available. Appointments are always appropriate. Quick when needed…read moreand convenient when appropriate, such as a Physical. He listens, and is on target with solutions, suggestions, and explanations. I have never felt delegated to or set aside or dismissed no matter the seriousness of the issue I present. He takes the time necessary to resolve or take steps to result in resolution with focus, empathy and ability. In addition he may bring up a discussion on something he sees and thinks you should know about as a preventive measure. This is really reassuring to feel like he is really listening and thinking about my overall well being not just the problem at hand.

I noticed some of the negative reviews for Dr Huntley and really want to share my experiences. I…read morehave been seeing Dr Huntley for about 14 years now. He not only treats me but also both of my children. He provides expert neurological care and as other people have commented, has provided valuable medical advice in other areas too. He even was able to point out when my daughter fragmented her foot, which spurred us to go get an x-ray to confirm that she had indeed broken her foot and led to us seek care to treat that ailment. Dr Huntley truly cares so much and treats his patients like family. I've seen him over the years go above and beyond to provide care, offer support and guidance. It'll be a sad day for us patients when he finally decides to enjoy his hard-earned and well-deserved retirement.

Patients hire doctors to provide expert opinion. People hire plumbers, lawyers, barbers and other…read moreprofessionals to help them with things they don't have expertise in. With any other profession, the behavior of not following up with one's client for a week, not calling when your staff says you will call, etcetera would be unacceptable. Additionally, if a lawyer scheduled an appointment with you at 2pm, you would expect to see him or her at 2pm. This practice operates by scheduling 3 patients all at the same time. So you show up a bit early for a 2pm appointment? Guess what! So have two other people. At least you aren't alone in the waiting room. What? You didn't schedule an extra 45 minutes to wait for your doctor to see you? That's okay because my friend will see you when he is ready and not risk having to wait on a patient who might be running late. Here's my disclaimer: Doctors run late. There are emergencies and patients who come in with more complicated problems than they let on when scheduling their appointments. I understand and I'd rather them take their time with someone who needs some extra attention. My problem is when you plan your schedule to ensure that 2/3 of your patients will wait for an unspecified length of time. Basically, being a doctor is a service profession. Yes, they are more respected than an electrician or a waitperson, but that doesn't exempt them from treating their patients with respect.

Not to mention "the fear", and the ensuing MRI revelation. After a week of not moving, I was faced with the ultrasound procedure, unfortunately one could not be scheduled in a timely manner in San Diego. So, I contacted Dr. Goldman, was seen promptly, and had my procedure done. Aside from the obvious unpleasantries, his staff and manner were not one of them. He met with me personally, in his own office, and showed me breakdowns of the MRI, why it hadn't moved in a week, and my options regarding surgery. He was on hand for the surgery, and was prompt regarding follow ups. I would wrap this up by saying "I would gladly go back", but I seriously can't think of any positive reason to return to a Urologist, aside to say thank you!

I had a horrible experience with this office. My son's pediatrician referred us to Dr. Dahlstrom. A…read morecouple days later, they called on my cell phone to set up an appointment. We got there and the doctor talked to me for a half hour about my son's condition, didn't address my son, and didn't examine him. He gave us an over-the-counter prescription and told us to come back in 6 weeks. That was fine. I expected my son would be examined next time. We made the appointment for 6 weeks out and I asked if they make reminder calls. The receptionist said, "Yes." Six weeks later, I got a call that we had missed our appointment and would be charged a late fee. Even if they didn't make the reminder call, I know it's my responsibility, but I asked if they would please waive the fee since it was the first time and I had expected a reminder call. The girl said no. They would not waive the fee and said they had called me. I did not receive the call or a message, but she insisted that they had called and it was my responsibility to make the appointment regardless of whether they called or not. It turns out they had a different number on file for me. I do not understand how that happened since they had called me for the first appointment and called me to notify me of the no show fee. Later, I received a bill. I called the office to pay the bill. The receptionist said that I needed to call the billing office to pay it, but wouldn't give me the number. I was out so I didn't have the actual bill with me. The receptionist insisted that I needed to refer to my bill to get the number. So, I waited until I got home, called the billing office, and payed the bill. A month later, I received a bill for the same visit and late charge. I called the billing office to sort it out and they have no record of my payment even though it is on my bank statement. I payed the full balance a month before. It turns out, when someone calls the billing office to pay a bill, they fax the information to the doctor's office to process the transaction? I'm not surprised they messed that one up. I have yet to hear if they have sorted this payment issue out. Unfortunately, now we have to find another doctor for my son. Dr. Dahlstrom's reception is unorganized and unwilling to help patients. If you want a smooth doctor's visit in your busy life where you have to juggle many different things, find another doctor.
