Susan Dean A well run excellent facility with caring personnel. I have been there for blood draws and two injuries and was well taken care of.

Hailey Ortega MD.Calvo was completely against testing my family for strep throat despite the fact that there were two positives in our house and two of us had symptoms. She continued to make rude remarks since the moment she entered the exam room. On top of that, she came into the room speaking Spanish assuming my family and I could not speak English and inappropriately asked me my relationship to my family members simply because of my last name.

Marlene Olvera I was extremely pleased with the assistance of the receptionist in arranging a same-day appointment. Furthermore, I was genuinely pleased and thoroughly educated by Wilibaldo Reyes, and his assistant, who I forgot his name! was exceptionally skilled in administering the injection. I would not hesitate to return to him for future appointments.

Rosa Banda They are always booked. Switched my daughter back to Salud Para La Gente thought this clinic was gonna be better they are worse. Salud atleast gives u fast appointments, especially when littles are sick!

Himelda Gonzalez My mother had an appointment on Sunday at 1230 and we arrived at 12 but the door was locked. No advance notice at all and we waited for a while. Wouldnt answer their phones

ValE First time getting an endoscopy. Clean office and convenient hours . I went in on a Sunday morning. Staff was very kind and eased my anxiety . Dr. Jhonson was such a nice doctor although I don’t remember much after the procedure .

Jimmy Z.A These people have changed alot . Mar monte is so corporate now. You are just a # . All I got to say is make sure you get a 2nd Opinion from a real doctor.

George D Garcia Very nice employees! Easy access with plenty of parking. Waiting times vary. Very accommodating!

Mercari Selling Just the worst. They won’t solve any of your problems and will just give you the runaround. They say they send referrals when they don’t. You’ll show up to the place they told you to go to and they’ll say they have no record of anything from this place and to go back to them yet again for another referral. They’ve seen our kid 10 times for the same ongoing issue and haven’t been able to do a single thing about it after almost two years. They don’t know what they’re doing, don’t do what they say they will, and won’t solve your problem even if you come in a dozen times and get referred all over town. Avoid this place and go somewhere else if you can.

Sherry CASTRO If you need anything that the office staff is responsible for, good luck! Three weeks later and I still do not have my son’s signed physical…after multiple phone calls, voicemails and an in person visit. I am done with this office!

Terry Scaggs Spent 3 and 1/2 months as a victim of a stroke. I went from near vegetable to walking out of the place on my own aided only by a walker. Recieved the finest care, and encouragement the staff is awesome. Today Im at home taking care of myself. Thank you Watsonville Nursing Center

George Chandler I was a patient at Watsonville Nursing Center for one and a half years, from 10/16 until 04/18. I received excellent care. The staff were all wonderful and caring, and professional. I found that they even go beyond the call of duty by hosting such things as Candle Light Dinners around the Holidays and Bar-B-Ques, none of which are required for them to do. They would also have celebrations for patients birthdays with ice cream and cake socials, also not required. The entire nursing staff was great and professional. By contrast, I later spent some time at Windsor in Modesto, following heart surgery, and that place was really horrible. So thank you to everyone at WNC!! I will highly recommend you!

Katherine Wilson I believe the staff were nice. The doctor was unfortunately unprofessional and probed a little too deeply about trauma without regarding me as an individual. While I respect a scientific interest in my case, I was unable to control my own situation at the time, and it made for an uncomfortable interaction. Mea culpa. If you suspect possible NES, do NOT recommend. FYI: Doctors phone is disconnected. Can anyone add a number that is updated?

Gabriel Espinoza Dr. N. Bretan was very rude during my visit to the clinic.

X Rodriguez Diagnosed w Kidney Stone at local hospital. (Medi-cal covered since it was ER room.) Referred to coastal healthcare office for follow up. Call on a Friday for an appointment, set to Tuesday. Their office was unable to validate my insurance, so I reach out to my insurance, Get a direct membership set up to allow any office that accepts Medi-Cal to see me, and wait for a further call back on their preferred referrals. Coastal Healthcare calls me Monday to re-iterate that they cant bill my insurance, I ask them to give me a few hours (this is around lunchtime when offices will be closed) the office assistant replies that theyll cancel the appointment until I call them, and hangs up before I can finish my reply. Didnt ask if I preferred to pay out of pocket, quote me a price for consult, offer low income alternatives, advise on another local office to contact, or really, give me more than 30 seconds of airtime on the phone. I can only assume their motives and context but Ive worked in the medical industry, Ive seen offices that are patient oriented and others that are... not. Id rate lower but like you (if youre reading this) Id done my research and I already had an idea of what I was getting into. No hard feelings, I wish everyone the best, but yall can do better.

Alex This is not a review of my dr, who is thorough and lovely. My complaint is with the staff. They made an appt with me six months in advance for a second dose of a travel vaccine I needed. They confirmed said appt a week in advance. After waiting 40 min in the lobby the day of my appt, they inform me they dont have the vaccine. Well at least they said sorry

Daniel Rall If you like an Inferior Standard of Care, this is your place. Latest example (in a decade-long litany of failures): Hit by a truck while on my bike. Called in to see my PCP. No callback. Called in again. Front desk said they were still waiting for a doctors response. Made an appointment for 2 WEEKS later, and went to urgent care. Appointment cancelled due to doctor becoming unavailable 3 days beforehand, with msg saying another doctor would see me. Called in, and front desk again reached out to doctors. No callback. Called in AGAIN end of next day, was told no response from doctors (after 2 full days); msg had apparently "not been marked urgent." Finally get a callback half way through next day; offered an appointment the following week, 3 WEEKS after being hit by a truck, and in deteriorating condition. Seriously? 3 weeks to see my PCP, when I have urgent medical concerns? The practitioners here are competent, but what does it matter if theyre effectively unavailable?

Marcos Lona I’ve been going to work well now agile occupational medicine for the last 4 years for my DOT physical exams and work related issues. This last visit I had on 9/21/2023 was by far the best experience I’ve ever had with them and with any other medical practitioner/Doctor. Dr Jackson-Scott, MD. was awesome!! Interaction and connection was above and beyond! Super down to earth made me feel like a really good friend giving you great advice straight no b.s. what you really want to hear from people and especially your doctor!! Really appreciate your professionalism and style of practice. Thank you!

Joss Lopez Not only do they not respect your time and the staff is rude so is the Doctor. Do not recomen Dr. Daniel Bitner. He raised his voice And made my mother feel so uncomfortable. That is not the way to treat patients. If you had a rough day deal with it outside of consult… you all need a customer support class! Do better

Caro B This place really sucks. Except for a few providers I had the opportunity to meet. The medical assistants are unprofessional and rude. Need to go back to school and learn some basic routine skills and patient care.

Rosie Whitney Just left from my dental appointment and I am so disappointed in the doctor they had there. The front desk was sweet and the lady taking my X-rays was very helpful too. However when the doctor came in she was very short and rude. She would ask the assistant questions about me or tell her stuff about me directly in front of me rather than looking at me and speaking with me. Anyway, aside from that which isn’t too bad… she lowers my chair, looks in my mouth touches one tooth and says “if you get a cavity we need to do a filling” I said “okay sounds good!” She goes “I only do silver so I do it or someone else” so I say “oh okay well I’ll probably have someone else do that if I need one because I’d like it to be the color of my teeth” she then goes “who” I said “we’ll I’m not sure but I could try and reach out to my old dentist if I needed to" she scoots back, lifts my chair and says to the assistant "ok shes going to see her own dentist" and walks out…. my husband and i were baffled honestly.. my advice, do not come here for dental work, try and find someone who will communicate with you and respect you.
