I added a review for DR ROBERT BLOCK on a separate page here please go check it out But I am…read moreadding a review here as well because it needs to be noted that this practices has the worst staff and their monterey office is not much better. The women seem to have trouble doing the least task and constantly redirect and are unhelpful in whatever circumstances they can be automatically. The doctors in this practice really need to do some management and correct their staff. It makes me want to never go back to their office again.

Chase is the person who gave me my hearing test; he has a great personality. Did I wait in the room where they put you by yourself to wait for Dr. Block? Yes, I did wait for a bit, but it's easy to deal with that if you have your phone with you. I just turned off the volume and played games on my phone while waiting. Was it worth it? Yes, I feel that the wait was worth it. I'll go back in 2 weeks. I really like this place.

It's almost impossible to get an appointment with Dr Block without waiting weeks yet the staff refuse to keep cancellation list. COME INTO THE 21st CENTURY LADIES. I have had multiple discussions with them and they say they have never done it therefore they never will. It would be such a basic thing to help patients - but they clearly aren't concerned with helping patients. I have mentioned it to Dr Block who stated just call them and ask them to add you to the schedule but they always refuse. He seems almost afraid or intimidated by his own staff. So if you manage to get an appointment you will have good care by the doctor (you might wait a really long time like some other patients have mentioned here).

My son was struggling with long lasting cough, and went through sinusitis treatment with other ENT. When we asked Dr.Luk for a second opinion, she suggested that asthma and allergies could be the cause. Her guess was proved correct later by an allergist who diagnosed my son with both symptoms. My son liked Dr.Luk because she talked with him as if she was his caring big sister. I strongly recommend Dr. Luk.

Also appreciate that their office takes Medicare -- in Santa Cruz County no doctors with this specialty do (for the kind of evaluation i needed).

We asked for a copy of the notes for the visit. Maybe they'll be filled out more later, because notes were minimal with some minor inaccuracies.

I have ongoing challenges with my sinuses which include several surgeries in the 80's. When we arrived at this very well run office I was greeted immediately and assisted to complete the necessary history and insurance information. Dr Jacobson was warm, friendly and professional from the first moment we met with him. He took my involved history and addressed my medical situation with skill and concern for my comfort. Because of the complicated sinus problems we knew surgery was likely going to be advised. A revision to the 1980's approach was critical to my being able to breathe and smell and function without ongoing infection, headaches and malaise. All treatment approaches were detailed and questions answered with thoroughness and patience. We chose to have the surgery asap and all arrangements were expedited. The operation was skillfully completed and recovery was smooth as expected. Dr Jacobson is my new best "go to" sinus doctor. Luckily, I have not needed him as I am able to breathe and sleep and not be ill with sinus infections!! I highly recommend Dr Joel Jacobson for the care of your sinus health. He really does care about his patients and is devoted to his profession. Do not put it off...you will feel and breathe so much better!!!

Do not waste your time here--they have absolutely no respect for patients…read more I had a scheduled appointment at 9:00 AM at Central Coast Head and Neck. An hour and a half later, I was still sitting in the waiting room. I asked the front desk twice if there was an issue with my appointment, and both times I was brushed off with, "You're the next one." After waiting for 90 minutes with zero progress, I finally had to walk out. The lack of care and basic communication here is deeply disappointing. For a healthcare provider, they make you feel completely invisible. Compassion and respect for a patient's time should be a core value, but it's clear they do not care about you at all. Avoid this place if you want to be treated like a human being. Not even a start!
