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.

Dr. Barker has been a great listener and continues to offer very helpful medical suggestions. She…read morealso has a great system of doing group video periodic check-ins for patients who need authorizations for medicines with extra reporting protocols. 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.

Edit- revising that whole "not patronizing or judgmental" thing... I'll be switching GPs once my surgery coming up is over and I'm done with my follow up appointments. She's been terrible lately.

I highly recommend her as a truly caring and exceptionally thorough physician!!

I would not go to this Doctor at all. She is insensitive and is not knowledge able about HRT. Her…read moreignorance in women's health is staggering. When I went to her office, she did not even look at my chart where my estrogen/progesterone levels were almost zero. I had to make her look at my chart. From the moment she came in, she sat there, looked at me and said, "I do not prescribe hormones." Then when I asked about weight-gain, she impatiently said, "Eat Less." I could not believe the lack of caring. She wasted my time. She is not well-informed. I don't think she cares about women's health at all. I wonder if she is going through menopause now. I wonder how she feels.

I went to Dr Garvin for Urgent care and she came across as a sharp and well informed specialist…read more She connected the dots in my medical history and did not waste any time in prescribing the requisite care.

I am 50 years old and had a lot of complicated issues; I was a mess and didn't take care of myself back then. With Dr. Baldwin's support I was able to look at the whole picture and realize that I needed to take charge of my physical wellbeing. She is the most caring physician I've ever had and she took the time to examine the underlining issues that were the root of my illnesses. I never felt rushed, uninformed and always left with a plan and next steps. There were times when I was not doing well that she called me over the weekend to see if I was okay. She pointed me in all the right directions and referred me to specialist who could help her help me. Dr. Baldwin is a great doctor, but better than that a wonderful caring human-being.

The absolute worst. Spent 5 min with a physician's assistant and got charged thousands for being…read moretold everything was fine. Was given someone else's paperwork - and was asked for a $700 copay before leaving. Phone system is broken - and when you finally get through after hours of waiting the person who can actually help is always in a meeting. Outrageous bill comes from the hospital - and then another from the physician's assistant (they are apparently independent contractors - so yep - you get billed twice). If you can go anywhere else - do yourself a favor and avoid Dignity Health.

Today, we received a letter from "Dignity Health" addressing behavior during a conversation that…read morewas "inappropriate." What inappropriate behavior or conversation would that be? Greg has always been polite and respectful. I think Dr. McFarlane is doing a C.Y.A. The only inappropriate behavior was of Dr. McFarlane's rushed few minute session, failure to abide by, adhere to, and uphold the Hippocratic Oath, and rushing my hubby out the door to collect $400 without even addressing the infection in his arm from the diabetes meter. My partner received a list of Patient Rights and Responsibilities. Then what Rights & Responsibilities did they give to Dr. McFarlane (who used to be a great doctor and we used to sing his praises.) Must I remind this Catholic institution, Thou Shalt Not Lie. It appears that as a diabetes patient, as he alluded to Greg's numbers aren't up to snuff so it makes the Doctor look bad...( per the algorithms?) No worries about returning...we have already switched providers and so far are happy with the process and level of care . It's all about the Almighty Dollar at Dignity.
