I just read in the "Monterey Herald" that Bergstrom is out of prison. I assume that the revocation…read moreof his medical license was "for life" but just in case Bergstrom is ever allowed to practice medicine again, I'm posting this quote from the January 25, 2013 "Monterey County Herald" "Immediately after the conviction, Bergstrom gave up his medical license in California...just as California's Medical Board took steps to revoke his license because of the case." "The board cited several additional reasons for the revocation based on audio recordings of Bergstrom, including jailhouse phone calls that indicated he was practicing medicine while in Monterey County Jail." "According to court records, Bergstrom once inadvertently left a dictation machine running in his office that recorded him offering to sell cocaine or trade it for sex. He admitted at trial that he traded prescription drugs for cocaine." At one point, Bergstrom was my elderly parents' doctor. Bergstrom did not have the patience to care for geriatric patients. Bergstrom may have been good with tall, thin, young, leggy blonde gals BUT I cannot recommend him for senior citizens.

Dr. Saito has shown her caring and thorough diagnosis to me, her patient. I was very impressed when I receive Dr. Saito's letter explaining about my health when she first transferred to work with the Montage in Carmel because the clinic has very limited a period of times to see a patient. Dr. Saito has always tried to do her very thorough diagnosis work for her patients disregarding the very limited time policy of the clinic.

I am 86 and didn't think I really had a chance to have any breast problems. But went to the Breast Center and had a mammogram and a lump was discovered. Biopsied and malignant. Because the lump was small and discovered early, I didn't need Chemo, just radiation. I had that for 5 days and was done. I credit Dr.Tapson for getting me to early treatment and removal of the malignant lump, I owe him my life. Thank you forever.

I have never heard of this, but I wanted to understand. I asked questions, asked for clarification, tried to get numbers to go with the protocol. Probably was on the phone less than 5 minutes. The receptionist became irritated and said OMG not under her breath. I feel that was unkind and uncalled for.

My mother has been a patient of Dr. Straface's for many years. He is a very busy doctor so my…read moremother has seen nurse Moody on several occasions. Both she and Dr. Straface are fabulous, caring, and brilliant! The staff is wonderful, too. We are always greeted by the same familiar smiling faces each time we visit, which is great, especially when they're part of a big hospital system like Montage. What prompted my review today is an incident where my mother received a bill for a visit she had at Montage, which has never happened. Her Medicare and blue cross have always paid for her visits. My mother was upset and didn't understand. She called the office and was transferred to the office manager who explained why mom was getting a bill. She did a wonderful job explaining but mom wasn't convinced. Marie, the manager, called mom's insurance company on a three way call so they could also explain. At this point, mom handed the phone to me since she was getting a little frustrated. When the insurance representative got on the phone, Marie very clearly explained the situation and the insurance representative was able to explain and confirm everything Maria had told us. I was just so impressed and grateful for Marie's kindness and patience with my mother. Explaining these complicated insurance matters to elderly people cannot be an easy job but she was so sweet and genuinely wanted to help mom. It's obvious why this office is so well run and has such a lovely staff!
