04-2025 San Diego American Indian Health Center in Best 18 MEDICAL SERVICES near San Diego, CA (Part 2)Hillcrest Family Health Center - San Diego carla jay: I came here for a walk-in appointment, it was the only place that was open after 5pm. Which I love! This location is local to me and easy to find. I had a great experience from the time I arrived til I left. Mona, the front desk coordinator was awesome. Very friendly and kind. Michael, the tester, was laid back, informative, personal yet professional. He made me feel very comfortable throughout my visit. Jenni, I think she was the medical assistant or nurse, she was nice too. Dr. Burk was the bomb! Very kind, patient, prompt and reassuring. Ezra in phlebotomy, was also wonderful. I told him my veins are small and like to roll, so I can be a hard draw, but he got it on the first try! The office wasnt busy, it was clean throughout, I was able to be seen pretty much right away. I had a very pleasant experience and I would definitely recommend and come here again. Thank you Mona, Michael, Jenni, Dr. Burk and Ezra!!
Palomar Health Medical Group - Poway - Poway Teresa Hogan: Horrible, horrible service! Too bad you cant rate with zero stars. Their computer system meltdown that happened months ago is just an excuse for terrible customer service. If you call they say you wont get a call back for 5-7 business days. I called last week and still nothing! Of course you can alway drop by the office to talk to the guy sitting at the table who hands a note to a nurse in the back. Which I have done. Its been months since the meltdown and you would think they could figure out a better system--or at least call us back like they say they will. I am still waiting for an approval on a prescription and a referal to a specialist Ive been seeing for 6 years and nothing.
I called today, waited on hold for twenty minutes to talk to the monotone message taker--who couldnt care less if I got the treatment I needed--and got her short and annoyed-sounding robotic response that if I cant wait another 5-7 business days for a referral Ill have to drive up to Poway (I live in San Diego) and talk to whoever is sitting at the table today.
I love my primary care doctor, Dure-Smith, who Ive been with for 8 years, but Im done!
If you have chronic issues steer clear.
UC San Diego Health Emergency Department (ER) - Hillcrest - Hillcrest C Choisy: DO NOT COME TO THIS PLACE. WORST EMERGENCY ROOM EVER.
The wait time is 5 hours and up. Is that really considered a emergency room??? Also a lot of homeless and crackheads are here and they get really loud and violent. In the 7 hours of waiting, I NEVER saw them clean the WAITING ROOM. The seats look dirty and stained and the front desk lady over here laughing with the coworkers while a lot of people are waiting in pain. How professional
Elm Street Family Health Center - San Diego Avelynn: super dissatisfied. I set up an appointment for a tb test, vaccination, and physical for work. they wouldnt fill out the documentation my work needed without another appointment and didnt have a record of the requested TB test or vaccine. I wasted over an hour and got none of the things I needed. They automatically set up another appointment that was way outside of the time limit I had for work
Urgent Care & More San Diego - San Diego Ashley Arnold: If you can go anywhere else for care, do. Avoid this urgent care at all cost. Extremely rude receptionists and poor training when it comes to insurance handling.
Was sent to this facility from sharp reece as my group had changed, no problem. Was greeted with a snarl and awful attitude by the older receptionist with brown short hair. Explained why I am here, and was told immediately “well your card says this so we can’t see you here”.
Confused I asked if it was possible to call the hospital I was just at to see where the disconnect was.
She rolled her eyes, huffed and said “and what do you want me to talk about”
Turns out, the other gal just didn’t read the insurance card correctly and that they did take my insurance.
Decided to go elsewhere. If that is the type of treatment the front desk gives, I don’t want to find what it’s like from the doctors.
Do better. People go to your facility because they are seeking help.
Naval Medical Center San Diego Emergency Room - San Diego Hilary Tshirlig: Shoutout to Balboa ER staff, doctors and Corpsman. They all really took great care of me when I was very sick with COVID and also when I got injured on the job at work. They made sure everything was documented in my medical record as requested. Only downside is of course you will have to wait awhile in the waiting room as they are busy but they took great care of me and listened to me. They’ve been taking good care of me since I was a Seaman Recruit. Thank you all very much.
Perlman Clinic San Diego - San Diego Blake Brown: Visited the Perlman clinic for the first time. I was very surprised to see the availability of a doctor on a Sunday and scheduled an appointment with Dr. Victor Lin the day before. I was extremely happy with the care from intake until the end with the phlebotomist. Special praise for Dr. Lin, who was thorough, patient, and understanding during our visit. He offered clear and supportive advice and guidance and 100% agree with his course of treatment. I feel fortunate to have Dr. Lin as my primary doctor.
Scripps Clinic Del Mar - San Diego T Gomo: I am writing to express my frustration with the appointment scheduling process at Scripps Clinic Del Mar Weight Management.
Back in July 2024, I booked an appointment, and the earliest available opening was in January 2025, nearly six months later. I have recently learned that my job will require me to be out of the country during that week. I called to reschedule, but I was told there were no available appointments unless I switched to a different doctor. The next available opening with that option would be in June 2025, which is a full 12 months after my original booking.
This situation is incredibly inconvenient and frustrating. Given the long wait times, I am concerned about the ability to receive timely follow-up care, especially if further appointments or treatments are required. I cant help but feel that this delay is not only unreasonable but could be detrimental to a patients health and well-being.
FamilyHealth on Commercial - San Diego Felton Tonique (Neeka): Do not recommend coming as a Walk-in, you will be here for over 2hrs. But the Care was absolutely wonderful today, the first doctor to ever educate me regarding my life long asthma! She was great!
FamilyHealth at City College - San Diego Alexandria D: I recently moved to SD and needed a medical provider to maintain prescriptions & establish care with. This clinic got me in in under 2 weeks and they were very understanding and accommodating. Dr. Hacholski was beyond fantastic. He provided me what I believe was the most thorough and comprehensive doctor appt I’ve ever had. I felt like he asked lots of questions, listened to all of my concerns and made sure I felt heard. He addressed a lot of issues I’ve had going on for quite some time but that have just gone somewhat ignored until now.
I came in for some refills & a basic physical and left with reassurance and confidence knowing my health is in good hands.
Everyone from the front desk secretary, the MA, and the doctor were all very kind. I have literally never left a review for my healthcare before, but acknowledging their excellence felt necessary!
