We've been coming here for over 15 years. Now that they have changed hands we can no longer get an appointment with our Primary Doctor. They tell us it's because of their new system. So we are now pushed to doctors we have never seen. When asked how do they know our background i told they can see our hard copy. I asked so do they look at it as they walk in or do they take the time like our Primary and go over our history. I'm so unhappy with this new company that took over.

Dr Cambier is an amazing doctor! Unfortunately, his office staff, specifically his medical assistants, have a lot of attitude and are very rude. I was told it was okay to accompany my wife during a recent visit due to her medical conditions and when I arrived they told me I could not, I think all because this assistant didn’t check with anyone. I still recommend them but strictly for how awesome Dr. Cambier is.

Do NOT go here! The front desk women are quite rude and unhelpful and just dont care about the patients or their issues. Doctors here are ok, but it's really hot or miss depending on who you see. And either way they dont make up for the rude front desk women. Better luck going somewhere else!

My wife had a severe pain in her elbow and we made emergency appointment Because the onset of the pain was for no particular reason and I'm wondering if there's something going on like an arthritis or a lupus or something that's very dangerous and Would like to find out as soon as possible what it is. When he started to examine her he was very rude and said that he could not complete the exam because she didn't do exactly what he wanted at that exact moment put down the clipboard and walked out said not one other word to my wife no 1 apologize for his behavior no 1 reschedule

If you want to see a doctor twice for the same issue, be told to go have imaging done, then told theres nothing wrong after confirming theres enough wrong to advise an ultrasound, then go here. Lots of wasted time and hard earned money. It is safe to say I will be going elsewhere for my medical needs.

Dr Adame is a great MD, very knowledgeable but at the same time, he listens to your take on things and your health choices/options.
His staff at the front can use more customer service skills: be more pleasant and not so robotic, look at their customers and just more overall personable.
The 4 stars is for Dr Adame... 3 for the front desk.

Slow as heck, but usually very very nice, for the most part. A couple times had some attitude shown, but mostly really great people/service!

Doctor Cambier has always been an attentive, caring, compassionate physician. He takes the time to listen to your concerns and offers remedies. I have been coming to this office for about 30 years and have always been satisfied with the care that I've received. The staff is friendly and personable, the office clean and well maintained. I recommend Dr. Cambier and the staff at Salinas Family Practice.

I've been coming to this practice for a few years and never had any issues but recently switched to seeing Carrie Reader in this office. I cannot say enough great things about her. She really takes her time to listen to and address all of my issues and concerns. So happy to have found her and will definitely be staying with seeing her

The waiting time is almost always 30+ minutes even with an appointment. The women at front desk are rude and the parking sucks. But I've been coming to this doctor's office my whole life and I wouldn't go anywhere else. I've had great experiences with all the MD's and PA's. They're very thorough and friendly, especially Mary James.

I have been going here for over 12 years as a patient. I am dumbfounded how rude most of the front desk women are! On the phone or in person. They have attitude when you ask a question or huff and puff because they had figure something out! Today I was put on hold 4-5 times and HUNG UP ON twice! This happens every. Single. Time. It's disgusting and rude and pathetic. If you women can't help patients will a smile on your face, work somewhere else! If I didn't love and respect and appreciate my doctor I would've left this place years and years ago! All because of their rude and

I have been coming to Salinas Valley practice now almost 10 years from the minute I stepped into the office I knew I was gonna like it they're very welcoming very professional and my appointment with Dr. Cambier got me out of pain right away . I had been seeing another doctor for my knee pain going on two years and did not know about Cortizone shots , The shots work and have helped me get away from surgery and out of a lot of pain for quite a few years. Anytime I call they get me right in , anytime I need a prescription i just call , Salinas Valley practice it's an awesome medical professional

Dr Mark Adame is the best primary care doctor I have ever had. He really cares. He listens carefully, offers recommendations and referrals to the right specialists and comes up with a personalized plan. He is very empathetic, thoughtful and smart. We are so grateful and glad to have found him. His staff has been very helpful as well.

I'm extremely disappointed in this office and will not be returning as a "new patient."

I have been coming to Salinas Family Practice for years and recently called in to see a doctor due to an extremely painful sinus infection. The receptionist who took my call lacked empathy and was quick to dismiss me. She said that, because I had not been in since 2013, I was no longer considered a patient. I now had the option of downloading and filling out the new patient application. Once complete, they will decide if they can take me as a patient again. So, they are penalizing me (a

Very polite, Dr. Hoffman is great, and he knows his stuff. The wait was a little long, but with how packed the waiting room was, it seems like people liked it here and keep coming back. I will definitely return for future visits.

Dr. Hoffman has been my dr. for over 15 years, and I love him to pieces, but his office staff, NOT SO MUCH. I was "greeted" if you can call it that, by a young woman who didn't even bother to look up, but just said "APPOINTMENT" in a robotic monontone. Then she gave me the "options" of A) paying up front to see Dr. Hoffman (because my injury resulted from a car accident) or (B) not seeing anyone and rescheduling (after waiting 2 days to get in) , so i could go home and come back with a copy of my automobile policy to prove they would not cover the visit.

I've been seeing the doctors at this office for years. Dr. Cambier and the PA's are great. I especially like how he is easy to talk to. Now, when it comes to the front office, they aren't exactly pleasant nor have they ever been. Besides one girl that wears glasses and checks people in (I can't recall her name) the rest are rude. They never smile, always talk about their personal issues out loud and make it seem as if they are forced to work there. If waiting in the room for the doctor, you can hear how they act completely different around the doctors. It's a shame, otherwise

I like Dr Cambier and his bedside manner but his office staff is terrible. I never get returned phone calls, I have to wait weeks for a prior authorization for my insurance that they were supposed to submit and never did. now I have to cancel my specialty appointment because of it. I will be switching Primary care doctors just so that I can deal with decent staff. I am in the healthcare field so this type of service is ridiculous and unacceptable.

Been going there for years, great doctors, good staff, billing issues are easily solved. Love the familiar faces of the people who have been there for decades. As an established patient, easy to get an appt the same day. Parking is rough, go early to find a spot. Lab work facility and xray facility located next door making it a one stop & a pharmacy as well if yoy don't have an already established pharmacy.
