Dr. Jim Halverson.
Carolyn V. replied:
I agree-several good docs in Ojai but we really like Dr Halverson-his nurse practitioners are fantastic and the office is friendly and well-run. And they have their billing act together, which is why we left our prior doctor.

Doug Nelson best ever.
Amber C. replied:
Another vote for Dr Jim Halverson (and pretty much anyone in his office). I've been a patient there since I was a kid and I can't say enough good things about them.
Megan S. replied:
Dr. Halverson and all the staff at Ojai Valley Family Medical Group.
I need to get my Medical Marijuana license. Anybody have a local Doctor they recommend that's low cost so I don't have to drive to the Valley?

Doctor Recommendation - approx. $65 with a coupon from the VC reporter. Otherwise about $85 Ventura CannaMed 674 County Square Drive #304, Ventura, CA 93003 805-620-0354http://cannamed.com/cannamed-ventura Doctor Recommendation - $200 (includes drug testing - for illicit drugs ) The Claudia Jensen M.D. Center for Integrated Medicine - 2895 Loma Vista Rd., Ste E (E Brent & Loma Vista) Ventura, CA 93001 805-648-5683 My understanding is, NO DOCTOR in the Ojai Valley will write a recommendation. If you need a current education in understanding Medical Cannabis today and most effective strains for your situation, please feel free to send me a PM. Best of health to you. I DON'T sell! I educate and advocate. Claudia Jensen had been a proponent of Medical Cannabis and when she died Dr. Peterson took over her practice. It is also my understanding that this card is generally held in higher regard in the county by law enforcement because she drug tests for illicit drugs. You have a minimum of two appointments, but most ppl generally get their recommendations the first day. Most ppl can get a recommendation at any location, but this rec is better for ppl who need that additional protection. I get my card from her because I am visible as an advocate and educator. I actually ALSO get a State card which goes still an additional step.
Risa H. replied:
As long as you have a recommendation you can acquire CBD's. There are some promising new CBD tinctures on the market in a variety of proportions of CBD to THC ratios. http://www.cbd.org/cannabis-sublingual-sprays-tinctures Sespe Creek Collective carries them http://sespe.org
Looking for a good Doctor, GP, or internal medicine that also takes care of women and hormone issues. Any good recommendations?
Brenda M. replied:
Dr. Gonzales in Ventura. BTW see an endocrinologist for hormone issues. I strongly recommend a woman specialist.

Angie C. replied:
I know Dr. Robin Bernhoft personally as he attended one of my "pay it forward vegan meals" and Dr. Kafka I cooked for a few times years ago when he was wanting a specialized menu for his personal issues, although they are men, they are both here in town and are not fast to write out prescriptions~
Bernhoft had me do a 30-day saliva hormone test that was very revealing and told him exactly what my hormones were doing over a month. As a result, I was able to get the exact bio-identical hormone prescription that my body needed and problem was solved. Medical Arts Pharmacy has the bio-identical hormones made and the price is not too bad.
Anne M. replied:
Dr. Bernhoft is an impressive doctor, into natural healing. Very comprehensive and thorough!
Karen D. replied:
Not a fan of Dr. Hiltner ! I went to him very ill and he sent me home with some oils and such. Well the next day I was in the ER then spent 5 weeks fighting for my life. Wish he could have zoned in on the severity of my sickness. Just saying....
Kay R. replied:
Mary Evans is a nurse practitoner and I would not go to anyone else. Talking to Mary is like talking to one of your girlfriends. 646-0151
Linda P. replied:
Jill Hall in Ventura is very good
Lori P. replied:
Don't go to Dr. Wilson.
Liz V. replied:
For my hormone issues, I go to Christine Farrell in Westlake Village. Yes, it's a schlep but no one in this area, has a real clue on hormones. Seriously. Not being negative, it's a fact. A bit closer is Martha Gonzalez but I was not that pleased with her either. Christine is an awesome lady and knows her hormone stuff. I use Mary Evans for all my other stuff. Love her.
Andy R. replied:
Martha Gonzales in Ventura. She's located a block from the Hospital.
Judith B. replied:
Dr Lisa Solinas in S.Paula. Head of the clinic there. Excellent woman's MD. OB/GYN /Family Practice. Have gone to her for years, and just love her.
Holly T. replied:
Dr. Robin Bernhoft here in Ojai helped me with my hormone issues and I think he now has a woman on staff that specializes in bio-identical hormones. Definitely recommend and he is here in town!
Bonnie W. replied:
Dr. Kafka here in Ojai has helped me so much. Just with supplements he has helped keep me steady. He also understands about adrenal and thyroid issues and he knows a lot about bio-identical hormones if you want to go that direction.
Carolyn M. replied:
Deborah Maragopoulis is a nurse practitioner and is highly knowledgeable about internal medicine, women and hormone issues. On the down side, she charges a lot. Still, she's the best I've ever found and knows more than most MD's, imho.

D.k. C. replied:
Dan Dan Willard and Vegie Hansen, thanks for such strong recommendations. I'm curious if you think these doctors are specifically good in a particular area? or just as a general dr. Thanks! They both look amazing in very different ways.
Dan W. replied:
Since most chronic diseases are related to diet and lifestyle choices, Dr. Fuhrman uses a nutritional approach that removes the causes, allowing and aiding the body to heal itself. I wouldn't call him a specialist on any specific illness but he has man y success stories for patients with heart disease, auto-immune, diabetes, high blood pressure, depression, allergies, migraines, and even some cancer patients. http://www.drfuhrman.com/success/SuccessStory.aspx?id=754

Sue G. replied:
I suggest you contact Sharon Norling, MD in Westlake Village (818-707-9355). Her website is www.drsharonnorling.com. I met her at NAWBO and she is an MD who thinks like a naturopath. If I was not hooked into Kaiser, I would definitely go to her. She has even written a book titled something like "Why everything your Dr told you is Wrong" and her practice is called Mind Body Spirit Center.
Rather new to Ojai and looking for a GP doctor. Any recommendations? Thank you in advance!
Carolyn V. replied:
Jim Halverson is excellent-his nurse practitioners are stellar. Friendly office with organized and accurate billing. And they don't foist onto their patients the same-day visit charge nonsense that others do. Welcome to town!!
Beth K. replied:
Dr Hartenstein
Hope L. replied:
I agree! Dr Halverson and Dr Mary Dial and all the nurse practitioners are fabulous!
Mary M. replied:
Welcome. I love Maria Halverson she's great.

Carri J. replied:
I like Helen Petroff...she's at Valley Oak Family Practice
Nancy K. replied:
My husband, our Son, and I have been w/ Dr. James Halverson for 20+ years... I would dare to say he is the best! His practice - The Ojai Valley Family Medical Group - with Dr.'s Gross & Dial (and all the fne nurse practitioners) are top of my list for sure!
Denise H. replied:
I like Dr Petroff at Ojai Family Practice!!
Teri R. replied:
I just asked this question a few weeks back and went to Dr. Viktoriya Nelson, Internal Medicine (thank you Leslie Ferraro) I checked her background and liked that she got her board certification in 2011 instead of 1977 or 1986. So far I am very pleased. My first visit, I have had extensive blood work done, a mammogram, ekg, pap smear, and the regular exams and a follow up visit, all in less than a week. No waiting times and she is thorough, takes her time with you and always asks if you have any concerns or questions. She is part of the Centers for Family Health, CMH here in Ojai 805-640-2296
Kimberly R. replied:
Dr Mary Dial & dr. Halverson - they are in the same office. Cheers. (they are the doctors for us and our son)
Jeannine J. replied:
Michelle Cabrera this site gives you the kinds of insurance they accept but you'd probably want to call their office to double check. http://www.healthgrades.com/family-practice-directory/ca-california/ojai
Carolyn V. replied:
Yes Moses Kravitz the first doctor we were with charges a $35 same day visit charge and the patient has to pay it - Dr. Halverson's office charges it to the insurance company but doesn't force the patient to pay it. I find it ludicrous to impose a same-day fee on patients.
Maryse G. replied:
I agree...the docs at Ojai Family Medicine, Dial, Halverson, Nelson are great. Check them out Jeannine Jonas.
Looking for recommendations for OBGYN for my birth. No doulas or midwives please. I am certain that my insurance only covers doctors. If you know whether or not they...
Corey H. replied:
I had medi-cal with my now 3 year old and saw Dr Crownover in Ventura at Centers for Family Health. He was absolutely amazing! However, it's who is on call that delivers you at CMH.
Katy V. replied:
Check to see if Dr Barnes is taking Medi-Cal. She used to. She is by far the most amazing OB Dr.! She delivers her own babies.
Sherry K. replied:
Dr Cole and Dr Coyles offices both have midwives, my insurance covered the midwife because the doctors office took that insurance. If you are truly seeking the midwife experience thats the best way to go about it or like Kim Rivers said above many midwives are licensed providers themselves, doesnt hurt to ask. I had 3 children and my last was delivered using a midwife at CMH in Ventura and it was the by far the best birthing experience. Good luck and congratulations!
Christina P. replied:
dr. Barnes at CmH clinic she's the best
Clare B. replied:
Dr. Lois Barnes.
Veronica W. replied:
Dr Barnes recently moved to an office in ojai. I'll see if I can find the number

Updated info for Dr. Lois Barnes: 2721 E. Main St, Ventura 805-667-2841 or 1202 Maricopa Highway Set A, Ojai 805-640-2323.
Victoria J. replied:
Dr Cole! The Nan Tolbert Center is very helpful and a great resource for pregnancy and young families.
Desiree S. replied:
I didn't have dr.Barnes as my obgyn through my pregnancy but she was the on call doctor the night I went into labor and she was amazing!!! I had a completely different birth experience because of her. She was so calm and on top of things. I wish she would have been my obgyn the whole time. I had a completely different experience with my first labor and delivery and it was horrible. I would recommend Dr.Barnes!
I'm looking for a good homeopathic doctor for my daughter and I. Wondering if there are any in Ojai or if anyone in Ojai see's one in the county that works for them....
