Monterey Joint & Spine Salinas Office

I was on time. I filled out the paperwork online only to be asked the same damn questions again by the front desk and nurse. Geez, how dumb is that. I waited 25 minutes in the waiting room followed by another 35 in the examining room. At no point was I told the doctor was running behind (which is no wonder when you book appointments 15 minutes apart). The doctor apologized for being late. My time with him was well spent. He listened and I felt heard, and my issues addressed.

I love this doctor and his staff!! This is my first visit to him, and I was treated like I was the only person in the room, even though they were very busy. All very professional. He exceeded all of my expectations and was personable and professional, and understood the urgency of my situation.

Every doctor from MSJ that has been in my care team over the last 6-7 years has been absolutely amazing. The level of thoroughness and knowledge, their ability to communicate, and their compassionate attitude can be compared to none. Dr Gularte is currently one of MSJ's doctors in my regular care team, for about a year now. You can't find a better doctor. I absolutely love him, and would recommend him to anyone if asked. Thank you Dr Gularte, and all the MSJ team. You guys are rockstars.

Dr. Halamandaris is an amazing doctor who knows how to treat his patients. He is very knowledgeable and has the ability to make sure that his patients feel comfortable and that he listens to them. I highly recommend him.

Dr B did an amazing job, helped me with my anxiety. The facility was amazing too

My experiences have been terrific. The doctor listens well, always is pleasant and professional, and makes great recommendations. My progress is made easier by his professional recommendations and suggestions.

Professional office, courteous & helpful staff, on-time appointment. Dr Bernstein was professional and seemed knowledgeable. I will be returning for a procedure & I feel confident.
