Adam Holt Palliative care employees are always great. Friendly, easy to understand and enjoyable to be around

Ed Brodow A stressful stress test was made palatable because of the caring, personal, and professional treatment by the entire staff including Todd, Jeannine, Suzanne, Yurika, Grace, and Dr. Mike Galloway (he should write a book about bedside manner -- his is outstanding). I hope I wont be seeing them for a long time, but if I do, I know I can look forward to the same exceptional treatment. Bravo!

Cynthia SCHMIDLIN Dr. Casey Grover saw my husband at the CHOMPS ER recently, following a fall and concussion. He diagnosed Hydrocephalus, after ordering a CAT scan to determine any underlying causes for the fall, other than balance issues occurring for over two years. Not one of the doctors or physical therapists who have been seeing him thought of testing for this condition. Like hundreds of thousands who are afflicted with Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus, his symptoms were attributed to arthritis and other age-related issues. The neurologist to whom Dr. Grover referred us confirmed the diagnosis. He referred us to a neurosurgeon who can operate to drain the excess cranial spinal fluid in his brain, stop any further neurological damage, and reverse some serious symptoms. Thank you, Dr. Grover, from the bottom of our hearts.

Patricia Mendoza Dr Kasim is an elite surgeon and person! She created a masterpiece with my left shoulder and was key in saving my health from a traumatic injury. I respect and trust her 100%!

Carla Van Stirum I found Dr Kasim to be personable, kind, understanding, knowledgeable and professional. She put my mind at ease about my shoulder pain and was also helpful with questions I had about my knee. I am very grateful to have found her. Thank you!

Marina M. First of all, my doctor is great. I trust his opinion, and appreciate that he listens to me. Office staff are helpful and polite, and Ive never had an excessively long wait. (Big plus for current times!) The office is impeccably clean, and the building is in a beautiful location.

Laraye Sullivan The staff was friendly and warm upon welcoming me to the office. The assistant that took me back greeted me with a smile and was very polite. Each member from arrival to departure introduced themselves and was very informative about the next steps. As for the Doctor, she explained what my issue was and provided for me additional information about the upcoming procedure and how to care for myself in the meantime. I left not having any questions about what was next as they were very thorough.

Lily Hernandez Dr. Vladimir Leibovsky Is the best OBGYN I have ever had!!! He is extremely knowledgeable and communicative if you have the privilege to have him as your OBGYN you are in good hands. His staff are warm and welcoming and make you feel comfortable. His assistant helping him at the time was amazing as well. They are so kind here and preserve the dignity and respect of their patients. They are FOR SURE a 5 star OBGYN. Thank you for all you do for women.

Levantine dialect I am extremely disappointed with the service at Laima. Before going through with the appointment, we were assured multiple times that our insurance would cover the costs. However, we were hit with a surprise bill afterward, with no prior notice or explanation. This unexpected charge was a complete shock, as we had been told everything was covered. The lack of transparency and clear communication is unacceptable. We trusted their word, but instead, we were left to deal with an unnecessary financial burden. I would not recommend Laima based on this experience.

Twisted Adventures I already had my medical insurance in file with Montage since I have been going to them for physical therapy for years now. Well, the front desk decided to NOT tell they accept my insurance until 6 hours later! When I first made the appointment, she said "bring your insurance card" and when I had it to her, she immediately said "oh thats on file already but we dont accept that here." Like if you only accept certain insurance companies, maybe you should ASK when someone calls about getting in the same day! If youre on Medi-Cal/Medicaid, just go to the Emergency Room. Youre in better hands there anyway.

Weisz Gellért I had a great experience at this urgent care. After another clinic misdiagnosed me, the doctor here took my symptoms seriously, conducted a thorough examination, and quickly diagnosed my pneumonia. They performed an X-ray and other necessary tests without any extra charges, which was a huge relief. The staff was professional, compassionate, and efficient. I highly recommend this place for anyone in need of reliable medical care.

Julie Morris I highly recommend the Monterey surgery center. The anesthesiologist was excellent she took care of all my concerns and carefully selected anaesthesia according to my medical needs.The nurses were great and very attentive. Dr Fejes did an outstanding job a very talented and professional surgeon. You are in good safe hands at the Monterey surgery center.

R.L. Fleming I recently had surgery here for my cataracts. I had surgery one week apart for each eye. The staff here are unbelievably professional, friendly, and knowledgeable. Everything that was done from the moment I got there until I left after recovery was excellent. Dont hesitate to have your surgery done here. Ive read negative reviews and dont understand them but some people you just cant please no matter what you do. I would go there again in a minute if I needed surgery.

Nancy Larkin Finding primary care on the Monterey Peninsula is challenging. Seems like all the doctors have gone concierge. That makes it difficult for healthy individuals to get primary care without the high cost of a concierge doctor. Anytime I had a need for urgent care in the past I went to Doctors On Duty. I’d always received excellent care. Last year I turned to Doctors On Duty for my primary care and the service and care have all been top notch.

Monica He Kate at the Prescription refill team is amazing. Instant turnaround for a complicated request for a changed prescription for insulin we needed tonight. Thank you very much for the care and dedication to fixing the issue!

Sue Billat Long wait and an error on instructions the prior day, but everyone was very helpful and friendly, the procedure went well and my special needs, like a wheel chair, were met with no problem.

Rich Gray My stay was pleasant and very professional. The nurses were great, Marisol made the time very comfortable. Thanks to all the staff.

Allison M. The receptionists and nurses are always super sweet and friendly here. The doctors are professional and attentive. My baby has never had a bad experience! I actually think he likes going to the doctors because of how great this facility and the staff are

Mila Ive been taking my two toddlers to the Stanford clinic for two years, and I cannot recommend it. On multiple occasions, Ive waited over an hour for their pre-scheduled appointments (both in-person and virtual) without any updates about delays. Some nurses are unprofessional and dismissive, failing to meet basic customer service standards. When Ive complained, the staff have consistently blamed either the doctor or understaffing. While the doctors themselves are polite and helpful, and I have no complaints about the reception staff, my overall experience has been very disappointing. I need to find a more professional and organized clinic. Despite their stated commitment to excellent care, the clinic falls far short of acceptable standards.

Lynne Killian Dr. Markusen is a very experienced professional with all the qualities that women of any age could hope for in their physician. I have found her to be knowledgeable in her field, thorough, intuitive, kind and supportive. I have been in her care and have trusted her since she opened her practice in Monterey.

Elizabeth Walsh I have been a patient at this clinic for many years. Dr. Markusen is an excellent doctor as was her predecessor Dr. Janko. Over the past months I have had huge difficulties with the billing office, whoever they are. The level of communication regarding my account has not been satisfactory. The Montage site is very difficult to negotiate so getting the information I needed in order to pay my account balance has not been easy. The only way to get in touch is by phone. Hopefully I have a resolution to my dilemma and my account has been properly credited.

Texnia Stewart My husband was a recent patient at ER. The quality of nursing care has slipped since our last visit. Multiple times he had to ask for assistance to go to the bathroom. No one ever came so I helped him get out of bed & we headed to the bathroom. He had a bit of diarrhea & absolutely could not wait any longer. We asked multiple times in ER & on the floor to get a Fall Risk wrist band for him. He wasnt even asked if hed any falls when we came in. Hes unsteady on his feet & uses a cane. This wasnt documented. His prescription meds were messed up even tho both a hospitalist & a pharmacy tech reviewed info with us. To make it more aggravating, he takes several OTC meds & the CHOMP charges for them is outrageously expensive for them to i.e., $$$ vs pennies to have them. & when they dont have a certain med, they expect you to turn your supply over to them so they can charge you for dispensing. It would be much better to keep personal meds in a patient room & give them the correct dose at the CORRECT time, etc. The other major problem we had in the ER was the poor infection control practiced by 1 of the RNs. She would put on gloves then go about opening drawers, moving equipment, then picking up supplies tha were supposed to be handled in a sterile manner. She was just sloppy & who knows what germs, bacteria, viruses, etc she was transmitting between her patients & to my husband. Well think twice before coming back to this hospital. It was very disappointing to see how CHOMP quality of care has gone downhill. Edit: Im debating whether to change this from 2⭐ to 1. Hubby now admitted to hospital. Nursing is trying to give him his meds but cant because the HOSPITAL PHARMACY is OUT OF STOCK OF the HEART MEDS he takes. So — am I supposed to go home & bring in our personal Rx meds & hand it over to this incompetent pharmacy so they can give OUR meds to my husband, & probably charge us for our own meds weve paid for at our local pharmacy? There is absolutely no excuse for a hospital pharmacy to run out of a common heart medication many people take! Just how bad has this hospital become. Its becoming a safety hazard for patients & the community.

Sabina Damaschin Disclaimer: Ive only been to a hospital a handful of times, so my experience it limited to 3 hospitals. I had a very smooth delivery at CHOMP in February 2024. The staff and nurses were extremely caring and patient. The room was clean and large. My husband slept on a sofa bed. Food was pretty good, and I could control the room temperature, which was nice. The baby never left my side, everything was done in the room except the hearing test. I asked to be discharged a day early, and they were able to accommodate me. They also provided my family with a gift/ congratulations bag... their was a stuffed animal, onesie, gift card to a restaurant and blanket among under things. Also, in April 2024, I brought my sick 3 month old into the ER and was admitted immediately. I likely saw the doctor within 15 minutes of walking in. Staff and nurses were very efficient with their procedures and time. Picture is of the ER. Overall, it was an excellent hospital... they went above and beyond my expectations.
