Montage Medical Group, Obstetrics/Gynecology - Monterey, CA

The doctors I had here were wonderful. Nothing against them. The people working the front desk are not helpful. I had to have my last name changed at every single appointment I had. It somehow never stuck. They lost tests results. They never sent over my medical release forms after I filled them out. Again, the doctors here were great, but the receptionists made going here a nightmare.

When calling call a car its to confirm the address that's on file on my chart come to find out it's in Carmel not Monterey so that is confusing as all hell for someone like myself that has a short leash for any confusion and I'm bipolar. They can't find the address even with the number because the facility was named wrong. It just made it harder for me to make a reservation to make it to see anyone you guys need to fix this immediately on MyChart.

While I appreciate everything this office does, they are not really good with follow through. I waited a month for important test results and called them once a week while they continued saying the doctor hasn't signed off on them yet. Now I need a follow up ultrasound appointment and every time I call the medical assistant is not in the office, I've been trying for 2 weeks just to get in touch with someone to be able to schedule it when they were supposed to be the ones to call me.

I have just moved to Monterey County, this was my first choice for obgyn because of location & insurance purposes. I've been under Dr. Nina Amelio-Simulcik's care & I have to say she is the absolute BEST obgyn I've had. I've moved around a lot thus far and I've had a handful of doctors. But no one has been as kind, caring, & informative as Dr. Simulcik. I can tell and feel she genuinely cares about her patients. I love coming into the office knowing that I'll be cared for. As for the office staff, they are kind and timely. They answer the phone everytime I call & always call back when needed. As long as I reside in Monterey County, I will always recommend Montage OBGYN to woman.

There is a particular employee here (receptionist) that is passive aggressive.

Aside from her rudeness, I have overheard this young girl and another receptionist gossiping about a client whom one of them had just talked to over the phone.
It's just unprofessional and makes this office look bad.

On the other hand, the nurses are extremely kind and welcoming, and so is the doctor.

For all the money this place has and charges, you would think you could get better and fast care. They are only offering appointments for "new" patients 4 months in advance. If you need care before that, they tell you to go to the ER.
The medical system is BROKEN and this hospital is part of the problem.
The ER is used as a catch all for patients, people off the streets with no health insurance, mental patients, etc. All any half way decent doctor can do for you is "stabilize" you. BTW i have been to their ER. Was there for about 4 hours and got an IV of fluids and a shot of Tordol (anti inflammation med) and the bill was OVER $13,000!!! Where was 13k? The IV must have cost 7 grand on its own. I have good insurance so they must charge extra charges just to get more $$$$$?!?!?
Stabilize you so that you can wait 4 months to get a basic intro doctors appointment
It is "interesting" to me that I can get an expensive colonoscopy in less than 2 weeks but they expect me to wait 4 months to even TALK about getting care for a cyst they caused by poor practices with their expensive colonoscopy.
I should have live up to my threat that I would never go back.
What a waste of time!!
