Dr. Farac seems knowledgeable, he knows his stuff. The whole staff was amazingly friendly and helpful, from the front desk, to Scout , the nurse (hopefully I spelled her name correctly) to the x ray lady, everyone was so cool. I am sorry I forgot to put the blue feet covers in the trash. I didn't mean to leave them on the floor. Great vibes from the staff at Monterey Spine and Joint. Thank you Dr. Farac

Follow up visit. He explained everything that was happening during the healing process. Great Dr
Dec-2022
Very disappointing experience. I felt like I was wasting his time. Very dismissive of my issue. Assistant, who was gathering information prior to seeing the doctor, rudely asked a question, then interrupted and closed down her laptop & left the room. I know by oath, doctors have to treat patients but I got the message loud and clear that MS&J does not want to deal with me. This is the second time I have had this type of experience at MS&J—there won’t be a third. And I will not ever recommend MS&J.
