She was on time, got a FULL medical history on me before coming to any conclusions, and the part that made me want to cry-- when she didn't know the answer to something, she admitted it and was willing to do more research! That last part is like music to my ears after being misdiagnosed for years, being brushed off, or told it's just normal female problems. She listened and actually HEARD me instead of just waiting for her turn to speak. I left feeling respected, cared for, and hopeful. She never made me feel like I was a burden for having so many different medical issues at once. I wish more doctors were this compassionate and non-egotistical. It's frustrating enough to deal with all of these maladies-- it takes a one in a million doctor to sort through all of my chart info and somehow ease my frustrations a bit. Dr. Culver, THANK YOU, genuinely, from the bottom of my heart!

Dr. Helbig has resigned from PAMF/ Sutter. This is a terrible loss for my wife and I, since she…read morewas our primary care doctor for several years, one of the very best doctors we have ever had. She was careful, caring, concerned and sucessful and diagnosing and treating our many and severe health issues. We will miss her.

I am so surprised by the above reviews as they run completely counter to my experience. Having…read morespent 20+ years seeing doctors of varying specialties, I will say that Dr. Helbig is my greatest blessing. Being new to my area, I had to reestablish care with a dozen new docs. Needing a PCP, I fortunately found Dr. Helbig. She listened carefully, compassionately and with great empathy to my issues. She did not just pass me off to someone else. She is also one of the few doctors who actually read my chart and carefully considered a course of action for EVERY issue I have presented to her. PAMF and Santa Cruz County would suffer an enormous loss to lose Dr. Helbig. She is one of the remaining docs who cares about the people she sees. It doesn't feel like she hits the start button of the stopwatch the minute she walks into the room to stay within the insurance company mandated time limit for a visit. I feel she is completely present and that she takes me and my health concerns seriously. I would highly recommend Dr. Helbig for anyone seeking "old time" medical care.

I had a Zoom appointment today, 5-12-25, at 2:20 pm. I joined the appointment right at 2:20 pm. I waited until 3:09 pm; my doctor never even came to the appointment. I didn't even get a call saying sorry we forgot and we screwed up. I'm guessing they just don't care about their patients or my time. But if I'm even 10 minutes late to my Zoom, it will tell me my appointment is canceled due to being too late. Dr. Whay Jones, maybe show you actually care by remembering you have an appointment on the schedule. All I wanted was a refill on a simple medication.

While under her care, particularly during my experiences of Covid, I received little or no follow up care with the exception of when working with the nurse practitioner. Also many mistakes were made with med refills. She really seeks each and every opportunity for a tele-med visit easy $400 billed to the old insurance company. Office staff are atrocious.

I empathize with patients who have complained about having to reschedule appointments because they are late - especially with mobility issues. On the flip side of that, I have waited with my husband for a big university medical center's doctor for over an hour and a half (more than once, both in person and by video), so I really appreciate a doctor who does the best job she can sticking close to her schedule so that patients who are on time (or close to it) can be seen.

Do I wish it was easier to get an appointment with her when something comes up and I need one? Absolutely.

He is open to discussing my ideas for treatment, but will tell me in a respectful way when he doesn't believe something is in my best interest, like a wise owl guarding over my health and well-being, looking out for the long term risk/benefit to any approach. He also really cares about me as an individual, and works hard to help me towards my goals. Adam was my doctor in my high school years, and when I moved back to the area, I knew who to go to when I was having some health issues. A real family doctor, he identified my dad's cancer, and supported him through the acute years of chemo after setting him up with a great oncologist. My dad is stable and healthy a decade later. He also treated my grandma (nonny) and came to the bedside of her hospice room during those last days of her long life, sharing stories, laughing with us.
