    Personally have been coming to this clinic since the 90s, which tells you how old this clinic is…read more It's a learning clinic so they do have MA's who come & go as well as other doctors who come in to observe or learn from their doctors. Pediatrician: Dr Lech is fairly new but she's a wonderful doctor. If you've ever had Dr Bannan they are very comparable, very thorough. Dr Lech did replace Dr Bannan. OB: Dr Sosa, works in the building in the back saw her with both my pregnancies. Medical Assistants aren't all that great. Some who have been working there for a long time think they run the place. Some obviously need work with their people skills/bed side manners. So minus one star for that. Always make sure you arrive no less than 15mins to your scheduled appointment. The receptionist line to sign in can get a little long especially when they are slammed. Never arrive late because they will not see you and you will have to reschedule.

    My original PCP was Dr. Jalia Tucker at the Marina Health Clinic. Dr. Tucker is amazing and sent me…read moreto do x-rays on my knees which was hurting really bad. The x-rays show that my knees (especially my left) has severe tri-compartmental degeneration due to a long 26 year history of gout/arthritis. My knees would lock up when I walk and hurt very much after I try to bend it. I also have a weird contraction of my pinky, ring, and middle finger on the left hand which stays in the bent position and wont open, not including swan neck deformity on both my index fingers and a lot of mobility loss. I've seen 2 hand specialists, 2 orthopedic surgeons, rheumatologist, neurologist and had many blood test, several MRI's, X-rays, and EMG. No one has a clue to what is wrong. I qualify for state disability, so Dr. Tucker set me up. I was able to get on disability, and take LOA at my work to work on myself and try to get better. Unfortunately, she is moving away and so I was scheduled to established care with Dr. Amir Helali at Seaside Family Health Center. I came in today for my appointment to establish care and to ask him to extend my disability because it is expiring next Thursday the 15th. He seemed nice at first when greeting me, then started asking if I have depression, suicidal thoughts and want to see a therapist. I told him that I have been in pain for a long time, and the frustrating part was that no one has any idea what it is and so I've been stressed and a little bit depressed of not being able to get better and get back to my normal life. He started talking negatively about my weight/diet and refused to extend my disability. I understand that a doctor can refuse to extend my disability if he deems that I don't fit the criteria, but my medical history with all the specialists from Montage Health including all of the x-rays, tests, and notes are all on file (all recent within the last few months) and he is able access it and see how severe my condition is. He tried to argue with me about not taking his advice to go see a therapist, and refused to help me while swiftly walking out the room. His nurse comes back in and gives me my doctor's visit summary showing that I will be seeing another doctor on Oct. 28th instead. Not only did he not have a single ounce of compassion in his bones to ask about any of my major health problems, but he pawned me off to another doctor and refused to help me. This is by far the absolute worst doctor I have ever experienced in my entire life. I believe that all doctors live by a code of helping, caring, and understanding for a patient, but today, I met a doctor that to me, does not hold up to any of those values! Dr. Amir Helali deserves no stars on any reviews!!
