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.

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....

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

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.
I have been trying to find a general practitioner in the area for over a year now that takes Medicare/Medical and is accepting new patients. A woman would be great but...
Shelly G. replied:
Katie Wilhelm is who I am switching to. I know her personally, not as a doc yet, so I am looking forward to knowing her as a doc.
Amber C. replied:
We've had great luck with Dr Gay in Oak View. He's great with my special needs son and I know lots of people who use him and love him.
Betty H. replied:
yes, Dr. Gay He is great. We have gone to him for years. There is also a woman Dr. in that office.
Angela C. replied:
Dr. James Gay in oak view. He also has a female nurse practitioner and doctors assistant.

Betti M. replied:
Helen Petroff is an excellent doctor. She listens and is easy to communicate with. Her office is well run which to me is a plus.
Helen H. replied:
Dr Maria Halvorson is with Dr Petroff,both good
Diane Z. replied:
Uldine Castel in Ventura, she is wonderful, New doctor and very up on all things new.
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:

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.
Hello I just moved here and am looking for a primary care physician for my children. I would like to find an authorized health practitioner to sign the immunization...

Maria Halverson came recommended to me (already mentioned several times above) and I used her and found her to be the best doc I have ever had! She listens, is thorough, and the support staff was great as well.
can anyone recommend a good doctor in Ojai/Ventura who takes Obamacare (covered ca)? Either a GP or internal med...

Thank you Maria....I know that Center for Family Health Clinics take Gold Coast which is the Provider for Medi-Cal....it's affiliated with Community Memorial Hospital
Pam P. replied:
And yes Cheryl Mankin, Clinicas and Centers for Family Health are the only two that I know take Gold Coast/ Medi-Cal.....
Maria S. replied:
Welcome Pam Prince
Laurie H. replied:
hmm -- just called and both Dr. Gay and Halvorson don't take blue shield covered ca (neither does Ojai Hospital or CMH by the way).
Maria S. replied:
Dr Gay all the way
Steve W. replied:
Dr. Gay is my primary and he would be a good fit. If you need an internal medicine guy, send me a PM. GP and internal medicine are very different needs. I have both but FB is not a good forum for discussing your needs.
Betti M. replied:
Dr. Helen Petroff and Dr. Maria Halvorson are both outstanding.
Cheryl M. replied:
Dr Gay. Far better than Clinicas at present. As far as I know, they're the only two GP's in Ojai that take it.
Looking for a recommendation for a good general practitioner doc in Ojai, preferably someone open to alternative care. Thanks in advance!

From personal experience, Mary Nelson at Drs. Gross, Dial and Halverson's office is fantastic. Very thorough, very warm, understanding. However I have heard wonderful things about all of the aforementioned health care providers, being a local medical biller.
