Dr Gjtelma started caring for my family, 83, at the time it was myself, husband and daughter. After my daughter got married started having children '97, he became their Dr also. Not only is he a wonderful, very knowledgeable Dr, but a beautiful, compassionate person. We were so hurt when he moved from Albany, Ca. We miss you Dr Gjeltema.
Great doctor. Very thorough about issues before suggesting cause and remedy. No ego about involving a specialist when needed. Office staff are also always friendly. Waiting room is always quiet and clean. If you need a doctor in the Monterey area, Dr. Gjeltema or one of his colleagues are great choice.
I finally felt like I was heard and not just given medication. In fact I was taken off several by him and I am feeling so much better. He didn't seem rushed and even asked my husband if he had anything to add or questions. That meant the world because we are a family and another perspective is helpful to get a well rounded answer. LOVE the staff too!
Dr. Gjeltema has been wonderful taking care of my health issues and my mothers. I would recommend him. The only reason I can't give 5 stars is that there is no web site for communicating with him other than by phone.
For over 2 weeks I tried everyday with this doctor to figureat out a solutions for a head cold that has continuously gotten worse. I would never recommend this doctor to anyone especially if you want to be treated with real respect. He doesn't even pay attention to your actual ailment...But hey I'm stuck with him even though he cantold figure it out. Not to mention he forgot a referral to a psychiatrist, instead he finished up as quick as possible and left. Harold Zosel
