I've seen Dr. Montana any number of times over the last ten or twelve years. He has amazing knowledge and skill and clearly stays current. I feel fortunate to have him as one of my primary care doctors. Ely Is a small community, but has excellent health care providers.

Overall Rating: 5.0 2025-02-08

Patient verified via Press Ganey

The doctor asked good questions, listened to me, then explained what he thought the problem, discussed what I might be facing down the road, and encouraged me to call if I had further questions or decided to try medication. He even gave me his phone number.

Overall Rating: 5.0 2024-01-19

Patient verified via Press Ganey

Didn't expect doctor to go over details of a medication as I look over the information with it when I get it and if I have questions I ask the pharmacist. Works best for me

I arrived with a sore foot I was afraid I injured. The doc requested a wheelchair for me to get to radiology so I could stay off the foot
