Dr. Gertrudes Perlas Montemayor, MD

Very condescending , rude and uncultured. Lack of experience and outlook on life. Tends not to listen to the patients and jumps to conclusions without knowing the facts. To some extent, this doctor racially segregates people - goes back to lack to culture and exposure outside of her little locality. Not a good doctor. If you want quality medical advise and proper bedside manners, skip this doctor and find someone else! DO NOT go to this doctor!

I don't know how she gets such high marks because my first (and last) visit with her did not reflect any of the positive comments of other patients. She is cold, arrogant, and condescending. I will NEVER go back nor recommend her to anyone.

Great and caring doctor. I almost felt bad that she spent so much time with me! Incredibly smart and friendly.

She is a great doctor. We are so luck to have found her. Spends time listening and understands that you know your body better than anyone. Excellent follow up with her patients. I would highly recommend her as a doctor.

First of all I want to say this doctor is not my regular doctor. Mine was on vacation. I was having extreme pain on my right upper side in the liver area. I had been to my Kaiser doctors for about 2 years for this problem. After all test were done they said I "might" have fatty liver. I no longer have Kaiser so when the pain came back I called my Medical Group at UC Davis and I was given this doctor. I had never met her before. I thought this was a good way to get a second opinion. When she came in she didn't even introduce herself. She just said what are you here for. I told her that I had been to my other doctors, they had taken several test and could find nothing so there best guess was the fatty liver. Her words to me were "well if your doctors couldn't find anything wrong what do you expect me to do. I almost fell off the table. She said it in a very uncaring way and just stared at me. I said well I thought I could get a second opinion. She said what test do you want me to take. I… said I don't know. I was thinking you are the doctor not me, but I stayed very nice. She said you need to loose weight. Then she said you need to stop drinking alcohol. I thought wait just a minute, first you have never even asked me any of my history,she did not ask if I drink or if I excercise. She literaly was the most uncaring doctor I have ever met (I have seen many doctors due to a drunk driver hitting me in my car and putting me in a wheelchair for two years). They were all very kind and caring. I was in such shock on how she was treating me that I started crying and tried to tell her a little of my history. She absolutely had no care what so ever. She handed me a tissue box without uttering a word. She finally ask me to lay down and she would do an exam. She started pushing way low on my stomach and asked me if it hurt. I didn't say anything at the time because I figured she would ask me where it hurt. She stopped and she was done, then I said the pain is way up here. All my hopes of getting a second opinion went right out the door. Her bedside manner towards me was zilch. The only thing I could think of was I can't believe you are going to get paid for this. I also told her my doctors said I may have fibromyalgia due to my car accident and her words to me were if you do there is nothing I can do for you about that either. I did not ask to see this doctor this is the doctor they made the appointment for. She really made me feel like I was just fat and that was my problem. I am approximately 25 lbs overweight. I do not drink very much alcohol. Maybe a glass of wine once a week. I will never ever go back to this doctor. If I were rating her I would give her a zero.
