The Best 18 MEDICAL SERVICES near Chula Vista, CA (Part 2)

Nicole Hands down the best doctor in San Diego county. Im so thankful to have found her. She listens to me, never puts off what Im asking about, never minimalizes any concerns. Shes smart and funny and best of all she gets back to you within just a couple of hours.

Jerry Swords jr Thanks to this doctor a patient she has or possibly good friend is now in the hospital for ODing on morphine. She has been proscriping her these pills for almost 10yrs now! She has turned her into an addict this is ridiculous! If anything I recommend no one go and see her let alone have her be your doctor at all! This needs to be reported and she needs to be investigated! No doctor is allowed to proscribe any kind of pain medication without knowing the patients history along with blood work! Obviously the hospital is missing something because this patient lives in AZ not CA!

spooky boy Staff are incredibly friendly and helpful. I am always impressed with their organization as well as how quickly I’m able to start my appointment. This treatment has worked wonders for me. I went from constant emotional instability and intense immobilizing swings of depression to appropriate emotional responses and more manageable depression. The combination of meds and Tms treatments have made life so significantly better. It’s very tough having major depression and knowing that you don’t have a reason to be so miserable, if you have the option to try Tms please consider KAB psychiatry group to preform your treatment.

Aaron Lansdell The most professional staff. The TMS therapy is legit I came in with major depressive disorder and PTSD in the month that I have been doing the therapy it has for me the healthiest I have been mentally in years. If you ever need mental health services KMG is the place to go.

Rebecca Rodriguez Dr Alb is a caring and compassionate dr. He takes his time hearing your concerns and explains everything very well. The wait time is a little long about 2-3 hours but Dr Alb is worth it. His wife is also a dr there and she is an excellent dr as well. If youre looking for a good dr, then you should go see Dr Alb!

Kev Jay Dr Ovidiu Alb is the most knowledgeable concerned forward thinking Physician who got me what I needed.

Richard D Sheresh Dr Padilla and his staff are really great at diagnosing and treating medical issues that arise. I have been a patient for a few years and have had several problems come up that were resolved by changing or adding new medications or lifestyle changes. I have been able to get appointments in a reasonable time. I have experienced a staff that is caring and focused on my health issues. I’m very fortunate to be a patient.

N S The Padilla Family for some reason gives my mothers information to my father and allows him to ask for any medication he wants in her name without her consent. My mother has been separated from my father for over 5 years and my mother filed for divorce in 2020. My father has also been an aggressor towards my mother and he does not want her to prosper in life because of money. That’s why we have been in a turmoil for years as a family. My father has been arrested for domestic violence and assault. And not counting all the times he has gotten away with cruelty. Yet, for some reason this place continues to respect him and not my mothers wishes. Even though she’s called them various times and explained her situation to them. I hope their policy changes and they only prescribe or relinquish information when the patient calls or asks, and not when a family member or spouse calls or emails. When they fully know of their personal situation.

L M No stars.. You will never see a doctor unless you are scheduled for a procedure. At the surgery Center ( ALFA) and even then , the doctor does not even speak with you. The office ( practice ) is being run by medical assistants.. People doing tests, giving you results and sending rx to pharmacies.

Karla parra I was never seen by the doctor. Had an appointment scheduled and got a call from them canceling it. Fast forward to today, I get a call trying to charge $300 from the visit. ?? I requested the recording of the doctor’s call. Bad experience over all. Don’t recommend.

Brown Joy (JoyJoy) They really taking care of you here

Alessa Viera Check in process was smooth. I’ve had good experiences here. But I’m 34 weeks and I feel like something is off and all they did was place me on a monitor and sent me home. I feel I’ve been leaking fluid and they didn’t check me either. Nurse that took care of me was

Sabrina Sweet-Gonzalez Discrimination against people on Medi-Cal shame on you Dr. I called the office to schedule a new patient appointment thanks to Covid I lost my job and lost my medical benefits so now I’m on Medi-Cal I had Covid and I’m still having some health issues. I deserve to have healthcare it’s just a really sad feeling that people like this doctor are letting people down

Manna dev8 Awesome Service and Doctor Flores really got me to take my Diabetes seriously. I lost 100 lbs and my A1c is down to 6.4 I highly recommend this doctor she is a no nonsense, calls it how she sees it type of Doctor

guillermo sanchez DO NOT GO SEE THIS DOCTOR! My wife is a high risk pregnancy with twins and he did not take any notes and didn’t take it seriously but when it came down to transferring to another doctor he didn’t give details or information about my wife being pregnant with twins or give any other details at all about the pregnancy. We had to go to the hospital due to a hemorrhage one day and when we tried to give him the paper work and tell him about he dismissed it and glanced at the paper for maybe 5 seconds if that and said “it should be a normal pregnancy now.” Everytime we go in for an appointment it takes well over an hour to be seen and he literally is in the room for less than 2-3 mins max and tells us some bs. While my wife tried to give him information about her family history about high risk pregnancy running in her family he dismissed it and didn’t even mention it while transferring information as well. The last time we went and saw him he was going to schedule an appointment for my wife almost 2 months out! SHE IS HAVING TWINS! all the research and families I’ve spoken with that have twins in their family have ALL said they were seen atleast twice a month due to the type of pregnancy. Due to the time of the appointment I felt like he wanted to get it over with and just go home since it was almost closing time. Me and my wife highly advise not seeing this doctor especially if you’re high risk. He doesn’t listen and also his on call doctors are VERY UNPROFESSIONAL AS WELL. While my wife was bleeding a lot and panicking she contacted the on call number over the weekend and the answering service answered and she gave details (obviously a little scared and panicking) and they responded by TEXTING “do you want the on call doctor to call?” After 45 mins -an hour we are in the emergency room and THEY FINALLY CALL and tell her to get plenty of bed rest and no sex…….. we didn’t give any information about being intimate or her doing any type of physical activity and that’s the response we got. I hope people have a different experience than we did and I hope they atleast correct these issues. That’s just insane highly unprofessional. We definitely didn’t feel like we were in good care.

Carina Sanchez I recently completed my pregnancy journey with Dr. Sefa for my second child and wanted to share my experience. I chose Dr. Sefa because he was the only one accepting new patients through my insurance, and I was eager to ensure consistent care throughout my pregnancy. From my first visit, I was impressed by the kindness and professionalism of the entire staff. They are incredibly friendly and caring, creating a warm and welcoming environment. A special mention goes to Zulema, who consistently went above and beyond to provide excellent care and support. Dr. Sefa himself is a good doctor and genuinely nice. However, his practice has a high volume of patients, particularly those coming from Mexico. This has led to significant over-scheduling of appointments. On multiple occasions, I found myself waiting for 2-3 hours in the office, only to have the doctor see me for 5 minutes or even less. A particularly challenging experience occurred when I went into labor. The nurse called Dr. Sefa to inform him I was at the hospital. At 1 pm, the nurse told me I was fully dilated and that we were only waiting for Dr. Sefa. Unfortunately, due to his over-scheduled appointments, he did not arrive until around 4 pm. Those were the most stressful three hours of my life. While I appreciate the quality of care I received, the long wait times and brief consultations were a source of frustration. I hope that Dr. Sefas practice can address these scheduling issues to provide a more balanced and efficient experience for all patients.

Kimberly Brown I went in 4 days ago for outpatient surgery. The staff could not of been better. They were all very attentive, kind, and caring. I was nervous about my procedure and they made me feel at ease, both before and afterwards. The Center was clean and well kept. I have absolutely nothing negative to say about my experience.

Zack Fair Office is very nice, staff was very friendly and informative when I went for a surgery. However, I was prone on my stomach for my surgery, and the operating room table was definitely not built for face-down surgeries. I would suggest to the team there to invest in some sort of face-down table for such surgeries, such as the ones used at chiropractor offices, with armrests and circular cushions for placing a patients face into.

Nancy Bradford I made an appointment to see Dr Michele Lamantia as a new patient a few weeks in advance. I arrived early for my appointment anticipating extra paperwork to fill out, but when I told the desk person who I was there to see she just stated that the doctor was not in. I told her that nobody had called me to cancel the appointment and she just stared with a dull look and asked me if I wanted to see another provider. Why would I want to see another provider if I was a new patient of Dr Lamantia. In addition, the "lobby", for lack of a better word looked like a waiting room youd see in a third world country. What a dump!

AnnaRose Duterte The only reason why my son is going to SYH is because his pediatrician is within his health insurance network. That is the only reason why I continue to take my son to this company. Other than that, I feel administrative staff can do a better job in communicating with patients/ parents of patients when it comes to cancelling appointments and/or not taking insurance. For Example: Today, my son was scheduled an appointment with his Pediatrician (Dr. Bonsu, who we love!) but as soon as we check in, the girl in the front said that they had "called my cell phone (1 time), left a voicemail letting me know that my sons Drs schedule had switched. They said they called on March 6th, 2023." I showed the girl my phone, no voicemails from that day, since I never delete my voicemails. I did receive the appointment confirmation though! & It was only 1 time they called. I work in healthcare myself and personally, my clinic does the 3 calls/voicemails then sends a letter if we are unable to be in contact with the patient. My son could have been rescheduled to another appropriate day with his Dr and I wouldnt have to have waisted PTO hours. This isnt the first time its happened and its just frustrating when staff isnt helpful, as coz I would never be so rude to a patient who is clearly upset and asking appropriate questions. Another example: In January, I was scheduled for my womans exam. I showed up and they told me right then and there that they dont "take my insurance." I had made this appointment a month before too!!! I called my primary care to resend another referral to a different facility that took my insurance. It was just such a big inconvenience. I didnt understand why they didnt tell me that when I made the appointment in the first place!!! Again, had to use PTO hours for nothing. Like I mentioned before, my son is in network with his Pediatrician and that is the ONLY reason we would be going to SYH. Luckily my son has been rescheduled to the following week but I wish there was better communication from the staff in regards to these important matters. As a single mother, I would appreciate that type of empathy and attentiveness. That is all, thank you.

Sandra Jeans Dr. Shachar is the epitome of care, compassion and superb medical intelligence. I have been her patient for many years, and I can truthfully state that she always goes above and beyond. She takes the time to genuinely listen, read all lab results, etc.... so she can assure the best possible solution for the short and long term. When I needed physical therapy or a prescription refilled her staff is right on it. I seriously have never seen such high regard in even the small stuff that truly does make a huge difference in the entire experience. When I was concerned about a lab result, she returned my message that day putting me at great peace. (I mean how many doctors respond that quickly knowing that youre in distress) She takes the time to answer questions. Her passion and concern is evident. I feel blessed to have such an outstanding and amazing doctor.

Debbie Kinney Dr. Shachar has been an awesome doctor for both me and my husband. She is always so attentive, supportive, listens well to your needs and always follows through when you need her the most! She has been our doctor for 16+ years! She has been through so much regarding my health and I always knew I could depend on her to be there for me through my toughest health issues. Dr. Shachar is an exceptional doctor.

JANE RODGERS QUITLONG This is what I coughed up during my ER visit at Paradise Valley ER. They wouldn’t listen to me about having an infection. My eyes were also dripping with pus and they couldn’t come up with what it was. A child would know that it’s an infection. I had my first born here in August 1995. Please get the staff to be like it was back in the day. Caring, attentive, and genuinely concerned.

Ryu Lion I was there twice already, honestly, I didnt want to write a review because at the end I came out alive. To the owner: You need to improve your overall patient care. I saw how much you earn, I suggest you invest with improvements like nurses that know how to withdrawl blood and additional Drs..

Roxanne O Rebecca Triebold works here and she’s amazing! She genuinely cares and always listens patiently to my concerns. I really appreciate her kind and empathetic treatment. The front desk is also very nice despite the high volume of patients (and their occasional rude comments). A big thank you to the whole team!

Leticia Munoz I’ve been under care of Dr. Cepin for 13 years and my experience has been outstanding. I was diagnosed with terminal sickness and she was accurate on every diagnosis. Dr. Cepin acted very fast and efficiently to get the right specialists and right treatments on time. She’s always received and welcomed me with and without insurance. She has gone above and beyond to help me as a friend and a doctor. It’s been an honor to be her patient, thank you to her and her team for treating me with such mobility, respect, and kindness.

A.J. Perez My family member went to her appointment with this doctor and she was treated unprofessionally, rudely. He acts like hes in a bad mood and speaks down to his patients. The office staff staff also is unprofessional. They ignore the patients because theyre busy talking amongst themselves. Its like the doctor and his staff are bothered by their patients. Another patient was there getting her records and changing doctors because of the horrible service and bedside manner. He needs to be talked to by a grievance officer and my family member intends to start the process.

Mariela Monserrath Lopez Gonzalez Dr. Valderrama has been my primary care physician for six years, and I couldnt be happier with the care Ive received, he is an exceptional internal medicine physician. Dr. Valderrama is not only highly skilled but also incredibly compassionate and caring. He takes the time to listen to my concerns and explain treatment options clearly. I feel confident in his care and would highly recommend him to anyone seeking a knowledgeable and compassionate doctor.

Isabel Marquez Ramirez Doctors are great. Very professional. Most of the time staff is good. But today I didn’t appreciate the lack of professionalism from the receptionist. I believe her name is Arianna or Ari something like that. First of all, I checked the website and I called to make sure they opened at 8:00am. The first worker arrived at 7:57am. My son and I were waiting outside. We were let in at about 8:10 or so. The worker was polite. When the receptionist got there which her name was Arianna or Ari she asked me who let us in or if I just came in because they didn’t open until 8:45am. I said that the other worker let us in. Then she said that I had to wait because they didn’t open until 8:45. Then, once she called me to ask me why I was there she said she would verify my insurance. She called me again and said that my son couldn’t be seen there that he was assigned to Sharp. I said no, i have always brought him here for almost 18 years now. She rudely and almost talking over me said that that was what the computer was showing. I then said “maybe you’re confusing him with my husband since they have the same name.” I was trying to show my son’s insurance card, but she wouldn’t even look up. She went back to check and of course she was able to verify that he could be seen there. Never did she apologize. I mean i know it must be unpleasant to work on a Saturday morning, but she is supposed to have great customer service. Very dissatisfied with her lack of manners and professionalism. Other than that, the nurse assistant and doctor were great.

EMILY K TRILLAS We have been seeing NP Meaghan McGraw for what feels like forever! She is always so kind, knowledgeable, and patient. She takes her time and answers all of my questions thoroughly (I always have plenty!) My kids love seeing her, shes the best!!

Rebecca Chavez It was nice to see him today.

jazmin natalia Im a mom of 5 boys and my boys dr switched them over to the office of valladolid and I couldnt be happier. As soon as I step in the door Im greeted by the girls in the front desk and they are always soo nice and welcoming,the longest Ive waited to be seen is 5 minutes.. the nurses are all amazing and ready to answer any of my questions. Valladolid is very professional and u can just tell he loves what he does..all my boys love coming here,valladolid and his team are the best

Bob Barilone This group of professionals were fantastic. They got me in the same day for a monoclonal antibodies infusion. Dr.V. was great as was her entire team. The IV was nearly painless (great job). Constantly checking my vitals. Thank you do much, Bob Barilone

Firefly2002 This clinic used to be top notch but with the personnel changes it is now ridiculous. Waiting now for 3 1/2 hours to be seen. Slow and disorganized ......Need to find another clinic.

Robin Camacho Wanted to give 3.5 stars. Compared to nowadays medical services its pretty good for no long lobby wait. . Appointments with Primary Care took wayyy longern should of to schedule considering shes been mine for a few yrs: my visit is required by medicare & rules, a yearly physical, shots, full body check. Often instead sent to specialty outside Dr. for Visits in lieu a physical. Lab: very good. Needed refills -ok. Listening- passing buck. Too big hurry to listen. I had a Dr for 11 yrs there b4 current. Great like a doctor whos listening. Im 72yo and I need help wo being outshopped elsewhere and return visits to this Dr months away. The Dr is nice. I care little about nice, I want to be heard, seen, helped. I have not seen this Dr in so Many months I forget her face.

Angelica Acosta They wont let you choose the pharmacy you want. They funnel you through 5 or so bullshit pharmacys they choose. If something happens to your prescription you are screwed on Saturday or Sunday. They will transfer you and then hang up on you. Woooorrrsssstttt
