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.

They have been unresponsive to calls and the office has been closed and no one there this whole time. Overall I found the experience with them, up to this point, to be pleasant, but pretty much just meeting expectations. In terms of care, I would have to say that this lack of communication does not speak well in that regard. I have no idea what I am to do next because I'm pretty sure my insurance won't cover a second sleep study. :-( Update: apparently all offices are now closed and nobody is able to return calls or messages. Truly amazing. Do t get sucked into this scam.

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. Find a neurologist who specializes in sleep.

I would give Tyler Heart Institute of Community Hospital of the Monterey Peninsula 4 stars. My…read moreexperience was mixed. 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.

Majority of the staff I think is very well mannered in the back of office, but some of the receptionist are a little bit snooty, and rude. I have never had issues with medical assistance receptionist in the back or any of the doctors. Reading some of the reviews makes me kind of sad. 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.

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.

She has a keen awareness of the subconscious mind and knows how to follow where it's taking me. And once we get there, so much is released and revealed. I have now started working again and feel much more comfortable. I continue to perform the exercises she prescribed and I continue to work with her to this day. Don't think twice, just go see her. You'll notice the difference after day one.

Her price is quite cheaper than the other therapists I've seen in the area.
