I've had my share of cardiologists and can say without a doubt that Dr. Galloway is tops. A man of…read moregreat character, personable, kind and very thorough. He spends quality time assessing the whole person. I am indebted to him for the competent care I received and his referral to a specialist for which he felt was necessary. It is not easy to trust many doctors, but he earned my trust early on. I could not give a higher recommendation to anyone who is in need of a cardiologist with a heart.

Please consider in giving a review what type of person you are reviewing. Yes, Dr. Clark is "old,"…read morebut that gives him many more clinical years of listening to and reviewing your particular heart. I'm sorry other reviewer's mentioned his age and the decor in his waiting rooms - without thinking about his dedication to medicine and helping his patients. For God's sake, you're not hiring a personal trainer or a nail salon - this is a man with decades of with the highest level of experience and credentials. Among other things, before he retired from the San Jose area, he was the head of cardiology at Stanford University! Most of us have no idea what is required to attain this level of expertise. Yes, I have had to wait each time I have been to see him. But what I noticed is that his waiting room is full of people of color and different socia/economic means - I am absolutely certain that he isn't working because he needs the money! He is working because it is his calling. He takes the necessary time with each patient, and educates us according to our questions and our ability to understand. I am very embarrassed for the people who don't understand who they have giving them medical care.

His demeanor and bedside manner is excellent. And this Doctor truly cares about my overall health and well being. This is a Cardiologist I trust and I am so pleaded to have him as my Physician. The Office Staff at this Ryan Ranch location are awesome and I prefer this Office over the Office in Salinas. Anyone in need of a fantastic Cardiologist would be lucky to have Dr. Saito

Dr. Nicholas Stienstra is the best rheumatologist I have ever seen…read more During our appointment, he took his time, looked over my lab work thoroughly, explained each exam result, asked me detailed questions about my symptoms, examined me fully, answered all my questions, and created a detailed plan to move forward. I felt like I could trust him without hesitations. It's obvious that he loves his profession. If you have rheumatology issues, I recommend Dr. Stienstra without a doubt.

Dr. Joye happened to be the Dr. on call the day I rushed my hubby to CHOMP's emergency department. Dr. Joye and the team at the hospital saved my husband's life.

We are very fortunate to have such an amazing cardiologist here in Monterey.

I would give the billing department 0 stars if I could. I have diligently been working with my…read moreinsurance company and Cigna has completed a annual review of my account that shows I met my out of pocket for the plan year prior to the processing of Golden State's claim. My insurance company sent them several letters but I continue to receive monthly statements. I then receive a threat to send me to collections. I am mortified. I called and no one will send me a link to pay for my outstanding balance. My husband advised me just to pay the $100 bill as this is causing me a tremendous amount of stress. I did not want to do so based on principle but I guess they win. I have heart issues is why I am a patient and this is definitely NOT helping. Seriously sad.

I've been a patient of Dr. Kanak's for 9+ months. He's fantastic -- very knowledgeable yet humble,…read moreand he asks smart questions and listens well. He even tolerates my weird humor (e.g. leather CPAP face masks, anyone?). I've also attended one meeting of A.W.A.K.E. (sleep disorder group that meets at CHOMP) and he gave a lecture there, which was accessible and informative. I also like his staff. One of his medical assistants recently moved on and I think Daisy (referenced in my previous review) was promoted (or at least I hope she was, because she deserves it). She's smart, friendly, courteous, and great at followup communication. If I ever have a job where I "have" an assistant, I might try to steal her -- she's that good.

I scheduled an appoint to see Dr. Gerber on Wednesday June 20-18 (unfortunately this was his soonest opening). About 20 minutes after arriving I was told that Dr. Gerber was 1 to 1-1/2 hours behind. I had another appointment which could not be canceled. His PA, Tyler didn't know my history, which did not instill a sense of credibility. When I saw Dr. Gerber in the hall upon leaving I expressed my frustration to him and he said, "you are lucky you saw the PA". What arrogance, audacity and lack of care as a doctor ! I have lost all confidence in Dr. Gerber and those associated with his practice. I waited three months post surgery and was treated very unprofessionally. When I asked to see Dr. Gerber in the next couple of weeks I was told it would be another three months before he had an opening. This is unacceptable, and very inconsiderate. It is obvious that Dr. Gerber is not invested in his patients and their care.

I later learned that I had NEVER suffered a heart attack and subsequent tests proved it. Despite knowing that I had experienced no symptoms, was leading an extremely active life (riding a bike 100 miles a week, including up some 12% grades) and I expressed to them that the diagnosis did not make sense, they told me that there was no need to try to figure out when it occurred and that I needed to move forward. I learned that large shadows on their Echocardiogram were misinterpreted as massive heart damage. The second look by another cardiologist was what enabled me to really move forward. Please, get a second opinion.

Dr. Grogan put in a pacemaker in my husband and he is having problems with the pacemaker not working properly and we cannot get an appointment with the doctor for four months. He keeps sending us to a nurse and telling us that if we have problems we can go to the hospital. The hospital did not put in the pacemaker he did, and we would like to talk to him and ask him questions about why things are going wrong. This doesn't seem like something that should wait four months until we get into see him. I gave him zero stars also also.

Dr. Park is quite pleasant, very concerned about my present and future health, and gives me good advice for preventing problems down the road. And I believe she's up to date on current thinking about health screening and treatment. Her receptionist, and her medical assistant, are also good. Right after I entered the office at 9:30 for my most recent appointment, the receptionist greeted me and gave me a health-status questionnaire to fill out. As soon as I finished, the medical assistant took me into the exam room, where I waited only 2 or 3 minutes for Dr. Park to come in.
