I feel sad about this reveiw as i really like Dr.Bennetts. But i have to say that a couple of…read morethings happened over my many years with him. Firstly my daughter was gaining weight fast, he never checked her Thyroid. 17 years later she had Thyroid cancer, the surgeon said she had it since about 9. Then my current boyfriend went to him. Dr.Bennetts told him he had severe heart disease, but never recommended a Heart Doctor. After a couple of yrs. I had him go to one, he needed a Stent! Lastly and most disturbing the Doctor never even mentioned a Prostrate exam or PSA bloodtest. My boyfriend was in his early 60's. Eight years later he has aggressive Prostrate Cancer.

I was misdiagnosed and which caused me to have a lot of worry and anxiety needlessly. I found the…read moreoffice staff to be largely unhelpful and Dr. Bennetts, has a horrible "bedside manner.". His office is a patient mill with little concern for what's really going on with the patient. Thankfully I saw another physician who took the time to do what was required to make the proper diagnosis. I was greatly relieved.

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.
