REALLY positive experience with Dr. Culver. I have a long list of medical issues and I was seen by…read moreher since my primary doc was not available. 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!

Very unprofessional , does not follow rules and regulations set forth by the U.S or state of California, which is worrisome for your children's health. The staff is very unprofessional , does not wear any personal protective equipment, which can lead to progressive infections. Very unknowledgable and can not seem to answer basic medical questions. Texting on there phone while dealing with patients as if it was there main priority on a "Professional" work day. talking about there personal life's out loud while dealing with patient care. Not to mention violates the most important rule in medical care which is HIPAA (health insurance portability and accountability act) which is meant to protect patients right to privacy. The medical assistant front office and the male dr which his name is out of question, does not have the appropriate training to deal with young children. Facial gestures speak louder than words. Judge for yourself while entering the perimeter the Ora is unprofessionally negative. These are just my opinions and facts about the office . If you where to ask me falsification of documentation , inappropriate care and professional maturity is not being met. I would rate this office below 1 star .

I called to Salvatore Fratianna's clinic, and the clinic approved that he accepts new patients, so…read moreI scheduled an appointment with him. I had to wait for the appointment for MORE THAN A MONTH because I was a new patient. Obviously, I had no choice but to wait, while during the ridiculous waiting time, my medical issues become more severe, which required medical attention. After waiting for weeks, finally, I had my appointment with him, and I explain my urgent medical issues, and his immediate unexplained response was: "you can go to another doctor if you want". I needed medical assistance, but he tried to "get away" from helping, for some unexplained reason. He continued with his sketchy behavior by saying that: "right now, I don't accept any new patients". I also asked for a note for medical leave, but he responded by: "I don't do that". Due to his suspicious behavior, I got the feeling that Salvatore doesn't say the whole truth, and it seems he's trying to hide something. The fact that he agreed to see me, and once he saw me, he almost immediately changed his version to "I don't accept any new patients", is suspicious. To conclude, Salvatore is playing with people's health, and have no problem to accept patients to meet with him, and then just decide that he doesn't want to treat urgent medical problems after they have waited for OVER A MONTH to see him, and just send them away, knowing it will take a very long time for them to get medical attention with a different doctor. After investigating his background even deeper by reading more reviews about him, his inconsistent behavior seems to be a pattern. Salvatore seems to be untrustworthy. I'm not sure how Aetna allow themselves to continue to work with him. It's probably better for everyone to find a good doctor.

My experience with Dr. Frattiani in the four or five visits that I have had are that he runs a…read morelittle behind because he spends as much time as his patients need for their issues instead of rushing them in and out. He is especially good with bio-identical hormones both for men and women. He is one of the few doctors in this area that will do the Wiley Protocol (same hormonal template as you had when you were young--the one that Suzanne Sommers does) and he knows T.S. Wiley personally. He will also do the HCG Diet. Both of these are extremely effective, but also controversial, so he will do them if you ask for them. I like the fact that he is open minded, keeps up on all of the cutting edge therapies and is holistic instead of being of the drug oriented "standard of practice" mind that most doctors are.

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 waited for a short time before they called me back, and the nurse was nice and made small talk while getting my basic info. The doctor took their time to go over my questions and listened pretty well. They didn't rush me and tried to understand what had been bothering me lately. They asked a lot of questions and went over my past visits and history, which I appreciated. They explained what might be going on and gave me a few options that I could think about. I didn't feel pressured in any direction. Everything was pretty straightforward and explained in regular language not just medical terms. The checkout process was smooth too. They printed some things out for me and said I could call if I had more questions later. It wasn't a perfect visit but it felt like they actually cared to help me figure things out. Would go again if needed.
