Not even worth 1 star…read more Disappointed in the care of Dr. Maheri is an understatement. I've met with him three times now and each have been a frustrating encounter. He doesn't listen, instead lectures before even asking how I'm doing on the program, if I'm having issues with meds, and how I'm sleeping and when I shared my physical side effects from a new prescription he "doubted" that they were the cause. Even though when I went off them, the symptons stopped. What's that about? When I tried to switch to another provider at the center, it was denied because I was already Dr. Maheri's patient. What? This center has loss the core understanding of concern for patients. And when I tried to share my experience. No one from Montage wanted to hear it. Too bad. From the admistrative manager to the doctors, their focus seems to be elsewhere.

My doctored sent me to the Monterey Bay Sleep Center for a sleep study about a month ago. The staff…read morewas friendly and attentive and the room was comfortable and felt like a hotel room. It was as comfortable as one could make it, given the numerous wires that were hooked up to me at the time. Two reasons for the low score: 1) It is incredibly difficult to get ahold of anyone at the office to answer questions or make an appointment. After my doctors office assured me that the necessary paperwork had been sent to the sleep center, i had to repeatedly call their office and leave multiple voicemails in order to schedule my sleep study. If I wasnt proactive in reaching out to the office, I fear my study wouldnt have been scheduled for weeks later than it actually was. 2). While the rooms are comfortable, they are unfortunately NOT sound proof. I was awoken in the middle of the night by the sound of doors opening and closing, a TV being on in the background, and the proximity to Garden Road and the Monterey Airport didnt help as I could hear traffic on the road and airplanes landing/taking off. You would hope that the facility would take more steps to sound proof the rooms, especially given the fact that the sole purpose of the facility is for sleep studies.

From my first interaction, Bee at the front desk showed professionalism, compassion, and a clear commitment to patient wellbeing. That positive start was important. However, as soon as I was escorted through the first door by a tall, slender, older blonde staff member to apply an extended wear monitor, the experience changed. While the procedure was performed correctly, her demeaning behavior and lack of warmth made the interaction uncomfortable and upsetting. It was disappointing to encounter this level of unprofessionalism after a strong initial impression. I hope the institute addresses this, as the skill level of their staff is evident, but respectful and compassionate communication should be consistent throughout the patient experience.

I am really happy that I have not experienced this ever in the last five years. But they could definitely get a couple of better behavior receptionist at the front. Aside from that, I am so grateful that I found this medical group. They have been a huge blessing to me.

A good friend also just had a study and had the same diagnosis as me. I think everybody who shows up at a sleep center for help sleeping has some apnea, so everybody gets a CPAP prescription. It's a racket in my opinion. Up to a half of people who get a CPAP stop using it. I did, didn't really need it and it was a pain. It needs to be kept clean and some parts replaced for maintenance. Some people tolerate it well and it helps them. They didn't tell either one of us the downsides. The medical supply people are very aggressive. Follow the money. For the follow up visit after the study they put him with a freshman physicians assistant, not the doctor. They just want to schedule you for a machine after a short explanation that is lots of jargon and confusing. That was not very good and she cut the meeting short at noon because she had a meeting. Hope she had a nice lunch. I found the staff who did the study to be friendly and efficient and they took good care. But the study itself is a very unnatural sleeping experience with all the sensors and wires and such that are connected to you.

I've been a patient of Dr. Heal's for about a year and a half. We moved from Silicon Valley, and…read moreeveryone on the Monterey Peninsula told me how hard it is to find good doctors, but I could not be more thrilled with Dr. Heal. She's one of the top docs of any type that I've ever seen. She's extremely thorough and really takes time to listen as well as do a thorough exam. Her annual exam includes an EKG and pulmonary function test. I've had numerous appointments that have lasted over an hour. She's also very proactive -- I've had a hip issue for years that my two previous GPs ignored, and she helped with a couple of treatment ideas and ordering imaging, which included a pretty epic battle with my insurance company. I will need surgery to fix it, but she's the first doc who actually listened and helped me address it. I've also seen her for several other issues, including Covid, gut issues, rheumatology, and anxiety. She's been knowledgable and compassionate about them all, and her referrals have been solid. Be aware that there is a concierge fee. To me it's extremely well spent: it buys me long, thorough appointments (1 hour plus) and phone access outside office hours. I once called with post-Covid breathing issues after hours, got the doctor directly, she reassured me I didn't need to go to ER and saw me the next day at 7:30 am. I can text and get a response on a weekend. Fee is 1/10 of what it would be in Silicon Valley. If you are a person who only sees the doctor once a year, might not be worth it.

This doctor was nice to us, and I got the feeling that he knows pulmonology well; however, the…read moreassessment of sleep apnea he made for my child was incorrect. She actually has a rare form of Epilepsy that causes nocturnal seizures and causes her throat to clench and tighten. She had a nocturnal seizure whilst hooked up to the CPAP machine, and when he reviewed the tape he told the medical assistant to tell me he wasn't concerned about it. What? This doctor suggested we get an $800 CPAP machine, and even mentioned that her chin was too small, and maybe she would need reconstructive surgery to fix that. A pulmonoloist doesn't read for seizures, so if you are having a sleep study because you think you might be having seizures, I would look elsewhere for help.
