The Best 18 MEDICAL SERVICES near Santa Cruz, CA (Part 2)

Erik Hutchison A wonderful and caring pediatrician!

Eisha Sandford I was recently hospitalized and I was impressed by Dr. Hernandez’ bedside manner, compassion and knowledge. Being a nurse, that’s not easy to say about every doctor!

Stephanie Brunetti Dr Cohen is very caring. She really listens to her patients and tries to help in ways that she can that also fall in line with what her patients goals are. She has been very helpful in trying to help with an issue I’ve been having. For me, there a certain meds I’d rather not take and Dr Cohen has spent the time researching other methods as well as other integrative medicine options she can refer me to to get help. I really appreciate having her as a primary care doctor.

Vicki Richard Dr Cohen is fabulous! She listens to you, comes up with a treatment plan or refers you to the best specialists for whatever health issue you may have. I am so glad she is my PCP and would recommend her highly.

Lesal HQ Im one of the Lucky ones to have Dr Kristen Barnes as my primary doctor! She goes above and beyond in helping me navigate my health issues! I honestly cant say enough good about her. I was just there yesterday and she apologized for running a little late, I have no problem with waiting for her because the first time I met her I was in crisis(I had just been assigned to her) and she said she wanted to know everything about what was happening and I know people behind me had to wait but I felt like a person finally instead of a number! I hope she never leaves!

Clint Ryle My previous care provider left Sutter, who I had seen over the last 15+ years, and Dr. Barnes was assigned as my new doctor. I was pretty concerned about starting over with a new doctor. I have a lot of health issues, some age related, some bad decisions, some just bad luck I guess. Dr. Barnes took a lot of time going over things with me. She has consistently listened to my concerns and has provided excellent care. I strongly recommend her to anyone seeking a primary care provider.

gracie grader Great staff! Dr. Khuc takes her time with her patients and make sure they understand, shows support and sympathy and listens to your concerns and needs.

Caroline Bitter I would recommend Dr. Khuc without hesitation, she is a wonderful OBGYN with deep expertise in L&D. She is also a strong communicator and empathetic listener.

Cynthia Larson I love Dr Eisendorf! Best doctor I have ever had. Hes thoughtful, listens and responds with accurate, helpful information that has served me quite well these past 20 years. He is also knows how to think outside the box and has recommended very helpful solutions that I have needed. Hes the best!

Charles Bloom I am extremely satisfied with the appointment that I had with dr Eisendorf yesterday. He was very responsive to all of my concerns and requests. I never felt rushed and I felt like he gave me his undivided attention throughout the appointment. He told me that he would make a referral to another department and less than 24 hours later I received a message from the department to which he referred me. I have nothing but praise for his expertise, his great communication skills and his competencee as a health care professional. I consider myself very fortunate to be one of his patients. Hes the best!

Nandini Bhattacharya Dr. WInkler is a fantastic family physician in our area. I have her as my physician for the last five years. She listens to her patients carefully and explains her train of thoughts as she very professionally address the issues and comes to a treatment protocol. She is efficient and great at what she does. Highly apprecited. She is alo a very nice person!

Doug Huskey Dr Winkler is easy to talk to, competent and knowledgeable. She has been my family practitioner for more than 10 years now, and I have always had a very positive impression every time Ive seen her. Highly recommended.

Eileen McGowan I feel so very fortunate to have found Dr. Yarme. His bedside manner is so very pleasant and reassuring and he is ever thoughtful and pragmatic. He is truly a gift and my daughters and I appreciate how lucky we are to have him as our primary physician. I should also mention that his partner, Dr. Rodems is wonderful as well and the receptionist, Kat is always helpful and insightful. This is a polished team here, founded in excellence.

Gaylialynn Osterlund Santa Cruz Direct Primary Care is amazing. Dr. Rodems is a kind, compassionate care giver. Cat (or the doc) are quick to respond to any questions and always find time to see me when I reach out. Grateful to be their client.

Donald Steiny I have been using Palo Alto Medical Foundation for about 15 years. I consider them the Cadilac of medical services. They have a full range of specialists, and my PCP is awesome. So far, I have not run into any issues I hear others complain about at other medical practices.

P Chak (A helpful guide) As a patient, ive got excellent care here, but im also am employee here. So, my views can come out as biased and, may not be entirely relevant and correct. Comments from others should have more weight on how to appraise this place.

Bunny Pellegrino-Sotelo My husband and I have been patients of Dr. Johsens for 20+ years and admire his integrity and loyalty to his patients. He has always been very caring, approachable and available. He has seen us through our ups and downs and I cant imagine better care from another doctor. His office staff is awesome and uplifting! Love my doctor!

Sam Bertuca Dr. Johsens is a very caring and kind physician. He is easy to talk to and is interested in helping his patients keep well. I like him very much. What I dont care for is the MDVIP program that he is affiliated with. If it helps him to practice good medicine then I guess its OK, but I think he would be just fine without it.

Robbin Martinez There was only 2 nurses out of 5-6 nurses that “ cared “ for me during my life changing experience here at sutter maturity center. If I could go back & have my baby at Dominican I would just because of the way the nurses treated me. I’m not sure if it was because of my last name or what but they were awful towards me & my family. Never offered me ANYTHING ever. I had to ask for more water or ask to take a shower or ask for help to go to the bathroom & when I did, they acted like they didn’t want to. I asked 4 different times for another beanie for my baby & never got one. They were very pushy & just rude. The only thing I’m greatful for is my baby being here safe & healthy. I wish I remembered the 2 nurses that really helped me so I could thank them. Other than that. If you’re Latina, my advice go to a different place to give birth.

Roseanna Arias The postpartum care I received from Nurses Jenna, Michelle W, Adele & Selam helped me transition into motherhood. They all were super attentive, funny, sarcastic (responding to my humor) and provided extra support knowing my mental health/trauma history. They listened to any concerns or discomfort I had & advocated for me when needed. If I were to have another baby, I would hope to see these ladies again. They were rockstars.

Frank Santos Dr Lee is a solid practitioner and Im happy he did my hernia surgery. Top notch all around!

Glen Rose Great communication and explanation of the vein procedure I had done.

Greg Cotten I really appreciate their holistic approach to my wellness and the expertise to prescribe both western and eastern medicines. I also appreciate Dr Flecks employing supportive measures as a way to treat. I continue to be impressed by this approach to health care and feel compelled to say so. Its a new approach for me and its working. I have seen consistent benefits and the staff is great. I recommend it.

BHHSSanJoseOffice Hi Dr Flex, I just want to express our heartfelt thanks. Your care for us goes beyond just being our doctor; you treat us like friends and family. Youve helped each of us in our unique ways, from supporting my bodybuilding journey and helping me manage my drinking, to being there for Laurie and helping her. Your concern for our health and well-being as human beings truly means a lot to us. We deeply appreciate everything you do

Michele Giulvezan I had the most thorough hearing test. Not like the old test of just checking if you can hear certain tones. Excellent practice.

Suzy Smith- Debenedetti I had sinus surgery 2 weeks ago with Dr Teng. I am so happy I did it. He was so thorough, and fixed 3 things for me. He was kind, gentle, and so smart. I highly recommend that you use the sinus rinse bottle 4 times a day. Youll be so happy you did. I am so thankful to Dr Teng, hes my nasal hero. I have been miserable for years with a cycle of sinus infections, ear infection and constant nasal congestion. He fixed that for me and I couldnt be happier. Hes a great Dr. Sue D.

L Nostrant I have been with Dr Kelly for 9 years. She is caring and compassionate. Takes time to listen. Always has suggestions for natural remedies like yoga for reducing stress and aches/pains, but not against prescribing drugs if you need them. If I ask a question on the Patient Portal she gets back to me right away. Highly recommend.

Amber Yale The best doctor Ive ever had! She is direct, geuine and really cares about her work and her patients. I feel she cares about all people. Shes real and gives it to you strait. Easy to talk to and I highly recomend her. Her colleagues in this office are wonderful as well!

Rob Perica Love how new the office is. The staff is super friendly and I was seen immediately, even though I was a few minutes late! As part of my visit I got three vaccinations and four blood draws. It was over so quickly. I really enjoyed the expertise of the nurse and the effortlessness of the entire experience. Five stars

Lauren Owen Kaiser is and always has been amazing to me. With my prior insurance, I would have to wait on the phone line for an hour to try to schedule an appointment with my doctor which would be 6 months out. With Kaiser I can send an email or call in, and 5 minutes later I have an appointment for tomorrow. Medication is way more affordable. $10 versus $600 elsewhere. Also Kaisers more organized about recordkeeping and all the doctors know about other doctors Ive seen and my results. I find them to be kind and caring. Its true that you have to stay at Kaiser offices but if you have an ER grade emergency you can go to any non-Kaiser hospital and they will cover it.

Elle Masters Front desk staff so rude, so hostile for no reason. The Dr they work for is so kind I dont understand why they are so mean. My insurance company knows of the rude staff and the hospitals knows of the mean people there. Everyone knows!
