Everyone was Phenomenal!! Above and beyond!!! From the onset, the front desk was kind helpful and efficient. At triage, I was in so much discomfort her level of knowledge and professionalism was really next level. Rowan was equally great! She accessed my condition and treated me swiftly and even offered a follow up!! If you have need for urgent care, this is the place to go! A million thank yous to the staff.

Dr Williams was polite and listen to me. She was empathetic and many providers lack that skill. The medical techs assisted and I am on the road to recovery.The wait was over one hour; however, the staff did not rush my treatment. AFC Otay Lakes has an amazing team.

Ive come here so many times and have honestly always had a good experience. The staff are really kind and make you feel heard. The wait usually isnt too long but Id say to expect at the very least an hour maybe. Ive gotten seen by Keeler multiple times too and shes honestly so sweet and knowledgable.Can always appreciate a really good visit here because too often Ive gone to hospitals or just places with medical providers who werent attentive or very helpful or respectful which is kind of the worst when youre feeling sick or need urgent care.Today I came in because I had a really bad tooth ache along with fatigue, nausea, and other weird symptoms. Keeler was so quick at identifying it as a tooth infection and prescribing me antibiotics.Highly recommend this place!

Very clean, very kind, very professional, friendly non judgemental and very educated staff. Healthcare has taken a turn, most would say for thr worse and its challenging finding good service and care and compassion. This location in Bonita, was exceptional! They double checked all paperwork for accuracy, excellent communication skills, and just gave me an overall great experience. The check in process was easy and an acceptable wait time of 1.5 hours. They were busy but never made me feel too busy to answer my questions or give me exceptional care. I traveled out of my way to come here, very worth the trip I will likely always choose this location and highly recommend them. I will also add, the provider was very compassionate and caring, she gave only encouragement and passed zero judgment. All the staff were very considerate and kind.

After checking me in and having me wait they suddenly decided I should go to the Emergency instead. They never even looked at my finger which probably needs 2-3 stitches. They were telling everyone the doctor has to take a lunch and the receptionist a break which was going to make the wait time longer. I guess theres like 2 people working? So after checking me in and wasting my time I have to start all over at the hospital for their convenience.

Went in yesterday, and the clinic was clean and peaceful. The receptionist Ivanna was kind and helpful. Mackenzie Williams N.P. was fantastic and very knowledgeable. As well as the people in Triage April and Ashlye. Thank you all for a quick and easy visit.

Worst urgent care ever, came for a follow up on a work injury and had an appt at 10:30 and I got here at 10:30 and currently have been here for an hour and 30 minutes it’s 12:02 and the only thing they’ve done is my vitals. It is not even busy there was 2 people in front of me. This is ridiculous. The first time i came here it took the same amount of time without an appt you would think it would be faster with an appt but no! Don’t come here if you don’t want to waste your time

The Service I received at AFC was remarkable, from the front desk, nurse, and doctor. There was only a short wait time on a Saturday morning. Excellent ! I am 59 years old and have never had such a great timely experience.I am a native of San Diego from Bonita, Chula Vista and National CityI never expected anything but lengthy wait times when it came to urgent medical help.I lived in San Marcos and moved back home the day prior to the city after my husbands death this February. Needing a Urgent service with a severe bladder infection usually would land me in a ER with hours of wait time in bad pain.What a wonderful welcome home to this area.Again thank you all.MRs Carol Dawn Maynard

Staff are nice and courteous. I hit the metal box outside the door on the way out to get some air, then I notice I have blood & look I have a little cut on my lower shin. I went back inside & asked receptionist if she have some antibiotics for my cut. She went inside & get antibiotics & bandaid & gave it to me. I couldn’t open the antibiotic so, I asked her if she got scissors, but instead giving scissors she open it for me.. thanks to her I appreciated what she did … good 😊 job…

Worst urgent Care ever! You could risk your life if you have an emergency! Try to avoid it.They dont respect their opening hours, and they treat their emergency visitor very unprofessionally. Avoid it to save your life

8:55am sign in for 9:40 “time slot” (not appointment). Did all the registering online to get in and out quickly and showed up early. Was told there are 2 people ahead of me. Waited a hour and half in the parking lot because the waiting room is my worst nightmare.Got a text saying I missed my “appointment”. Went to front desk to ask about my status. “Idk why it sent you that text.” She informs me there are now 3 people ahead of me. I ask how that happened and she apologizes and says “it’s been a crazy morning”. Okay.Back to waiting in the car.Then they sent a text requesting me to fill out registration form again. 3rd times a charm I guess. They call me to explain their system deleted all my info so I need to fill that out asap. Ooookay.They call me again to ask about insurance which I don’t have as stated on the registration form. They ask me to come in and pay $149 to see the doctor. Fine.They ask to wait in the waiting room because I will be called in “soon”.10:45am I’m finally called in for all the fun questions. More waiting but at last I am in the exam room… listening thru the door to the nurses chit chatting about their issues with their previous jobs.11:15am I am seen by a physician!!! I take about 5 min of her time and my script is written and I am out the door by 11:20.Why is it always like this at urgent cares? Where is the sense of urgency???

The wait was long but the staff immediately let you know and even asked if you wanted them to call another urgent care close by if the wait was shorter I thought that was so considerate of them they are so nice there when my turn came up the doctor was very attentive to help me find what I had and how to make me better! I was at level 7-8 in pain and after I took my medication 2 hours later my pain level was 3 today this morning pain level 2 and was up early and ready for the things I was not able to do last week

WAIT IS LONG BUT THE CARE CAN BE WORTH IT ! Came here when I was having really bad random migraines . My head was hurting so badly I cried . I went to the ER twice & received no real help . At AFC the doctor immediately understood my situation, once I told her my symptoms , & she gave me a prescription to rid the infection. I was so thankful because the pain was debilitating . I wish I remembered the Drs name because I would send her some flowers . Since then I haven’t had a migraine. Thinking back , I am so glad that is behind me !

They claim to open at 8AM, but in reality customers may need to wait over an hour for staff to be ready to assist them. For example, when my daughter arrived at 8AM when they state they open, she did not receive service until 9:15AM. I understand needing a brief period to get organized in the morning. However, the discrepancy between the advertised opening time and when staff are actually prepared to serve customers is too large. This morning, my daughter unfortunately ended up being late for school while waiting for over an hour past the listed open time. Going forward, I would suggest either adjusting the posted opening hours to more accurately reflect when customers can realistically expect service, or ensuring staff has someone available right at 8AM who is ready to greet and help visitors.

My mom was seen mid week and a time was set up yet when she got there she was not seen for 3 hours. She was given an appointment by the doctor to be re- seen, but when we called to verify we were told there are no appointments and we could come in and wait. I asked about people that come in and are seen before people that are waiting and was told she did not know what I was referring to. I will never bring anyone there ever again. If you are reading this do not go here.

All the staff, starting with the ladies who welcome every client and acknowledge them, are awesome, and the doctor who I provided me with the service was great too. She was very attentive to the symptoms I was describing and warmth. This is my first visit, and overall, it was a good experience. As a patient feeling physically bad, you just want to check in and get checked and be out back to rest or solution for pain. This was this kind of visit, I know what it comes to times, mostly depending on how much clients are at the moment, the situation, and theres no control over that. like I said, the 2 receptionists at the front were welcoming and attentive to everyone who walked in immediately to tell them how they could help. I certainly will make this my 1st choice on urgent care.

Worthless company stops seeing people as early as 7:25 even though theyre open until 8pm. Were full is not a valid excuse. Hire more doctors.**UPDATE Went back the next morning at 7:20am to be seen by a doctor when they opened at 8am. I was the second one in line to be seen. Soon after they opened their doors there was a 3 hour wait.I got 2.5 minutes with your Dr. who prescribed me steroids. Went home in excruciating 10/10 pain because I thought there was nothing else to be done. Your doctor made it sound like it wasnt serious.Had to go to the ER first thing the next morning. Guess what! A fully herniated disk out of my spine was the problem all along. Had your Dr given me the time of day or told me to go to the ER like she should have I may not have needed a trip to Coronado Hospital ER for an MRI and then an ambulance ride to Sharp Memorial. I just got out of the hospital after 5 days on opioids and a steroid epidural. Your doctor told me take some ibuprofen and Tylenol. Your facility is a joke. Shame on your attention to patient care. You failed me hard. I suffered for 48 extra hours because of you.

It was my first time there and there were alot of patients still waiting to be seen. I forgot my phone so the staff helped me with registration. Even though it was close to closing, I was still able to have been seen. The PA,Shawn was very professional and kind. I will be utilizing your services again. Thank you

Review №26

If you go to this location, please make sure you are registered first. The new patient registration process is tedious and difficult. It didnt work on my phone and I was forced to use their kiosk which is about 1 foot away from the people signing in and speaking to intake. Some people were very sick with covid like symptoms and didnt have masks on, and werent asked to put a mask on. That was very concerning to me, especially as I brought my child in just for a infected toe. We ultimately didnt see the doctor so I cannot comment on that. But we spent about 20 minutes being exposed to germs we dont need and then left because it was ridiculous. We were second person there upon opening time, by the time I was halfway registered, we would have been there for hours because we were already getting pushed well behind the line of 5 ppl or more.

I typically don’t write reviews however this needs to be known. As of this week this office will be closed by 4pm. I took my son to this location today to be seen around 4:20 pm. I walked in expecting to be seen only to arrive at the desk of two very unprofessional ladies working there. I asked them if I could check in. After what seemed to be 20 seconds one lady responded without looking up that they would not be seeing any patients after 4 pm starting this week due to doctors not picking up the shifts. I understood that. What I didn’t understand is why the company hours had not been changed on the website. Also, the lack of compassion these two showed was disheartening. They are still in the medical field compassion is usually displayed at the front desk. At least that’s what I was taught in training.

Yes the front desk staff - was very friendly and informative with the registration process, the nurse that saw me was very patient and understanding. The Dr was informative and I appreciate the advise he gave with minimal info. His X-ray tech had left for the day. He couldnt determine what exactly happened with my ankle when I rolled it while running but have me info on how to care while waiting for X-ray

I went in today and my vitals and labs were both done by the same nurse Christina. She was very kind and explained everything to me before she did it and while she did it. She did an excellent job. I am a retired marine and the level of care she gave me was substantially better than what I am used to. The doctor I saw was very relatable and nice to me as well. He answered my questions and seemed to really care. Will definitely come back. They made the experience worth the long wait time.

All i can say is that a big thank you and I really do appreciate for the help that i need on the day of my visit to the clinic. Of course the waiting time expectations is long coz there’s some patients too that need to be assisted, but thats fine with me as long as i got the purpose of my visit to the clinic. A big thank you to Dr H. Moore who assisted me all thru the end of the process. Good job and god bless to all people of AFC Urgent Care Chula Vista branch 🙏❤️💐

Staff at the front desk were extremely rude at time of visit. I received a bill a year later for services I never received and when I called to ask the girl who answered greeted me with a sigh and immediately put me on hold and didn’t answer any of my questions then told me to call my insurance. I’m not one to post negative reviews but I’ve been so incredibly frustrated with my experiences here.

We will not be attending this office again. This time, we got a male doctor, and he was extremely unprofessional and rude. He kept cutting us off when we spoke. Never provided us with any advice or tips on what we should do. Along with that, we got prescribed drugs we had no idea what they were or what they did. He never told us. We ended up at the pharmacy, and even they were dumbfounded the doctor told us absolutely nothing. His careless attitude should be reported

I had a bad experience at this Urgent Care. The receptionist is very rude. I was called to take my blood report in the morning and when i arrived they mentioned that the call was by mistake and I should have called them back to confirm. I was told to come back 5 hours later. This same blood report when I saw was ready 3 days before they called me. The doctor was nice but the the lady sitting outside is not helpful and very rude to talk to .

I waited 3 hours for the worst advice for treatment. I am in my 3rd trimester and i went in for flu like symptoms. The dr or nurse practitioner whatever she was told me to take NyQuil and gave me antibiotics for a sinus infection. They didn’t test me for the flu or anything. They didn’t check to make sure the baby was okay. After feeling like the trip was a waste of time I emailed my obgyn to get second opinion and she highly advised against taking NyQuil and was taken back at the fact the clinic recommend to take that and didn’t test me. I wouldn’t recommend coming here. Front staff was friendly only positive about the visit.

The AFC team did a great job overall. The young lady who was answering the phones on the morning of 9/12 was very pleasant and expressed concern for my issue. I went that Saturday afternoon and there appeared to be plenty of staff handling the clients. I waited maybe 20 minutes and was taken in for vitals. The nurse practitioner came in after about 5 min and got right to the problem. I was in serious pain due to a workout injury and his course of treatment was exactly what I needed. The check out process was just as quick regardless of the afternoon receptionist who seemed not as patient as the morning intake rep. But not enough for me to drop the 5 stars.

Just a side note Ive come here in the past for rapid COVID test and both visits went fine. I was charged my copay both times before I was tested. Today, I wait patiently for 2.5 hours, get called to the back. Im following the normal process and Im told they will be performing the send out test NOT the rapid. I ask why the previous times they were rapid and was told my insurance didnt cover. I then questioned why the last 2 times I was never told this and both previous times I was just charged a copay. While I dont care about paying for the test I do care about time wasted. I asked why I was never told this while I was waiting! I sat for 2 and a half hours and could have went somewhere else. The person assisting me in the back tried reasoning with me and ended up giving me the rapid test after signing a waiver saying Im responsible for paying if my insurance rejected it. Like I said, I dont care if I have to pay for the test but you cant give me my time back. The other times Ive been here I was under the impression that my insurance covered it since I paid the copay. The assistant in the back told me the front desk doesnt look at past visits and wouldnt be able to determine if my insurance covered. ?!?! Huh Im confused why did they charge me a copay in the past and never told me it wasnt covered. So what is it?! Then the person helping me kept telling me I can talk to billing. Again, Ill pay but you couldve told me in the beginning that my insurance didnt cover so I could seek a place that did. I sat for over an hour waiting for my results. I actually had to get up and ask the receptionist if they forgot. I waited another 10 min, 7:10PM now and they handed me my results which was time stamped 5:57PM. So I waited even longer. All in all i spent about 4hrs for a not so Rapid test. results were fast, staff not really. Oh and the assistant in the back that I mentioned earlier decided it was OK to butt into the conversation I was having with the receptionist about insurance and not letting me know ahead of time. AGAIN she asked me to talk to billing!!!! Like I said again and again to her, I dont care if I had to pay out of pocket. She didnt get that Im upset about the time Ive wasted sitting here when I couldve gone somewhere else!!!!!

Very nice visit. Arrived to have a persistent cough looked at. Front desk staff were courteous and professional. Paperwork was handled expeditiously. Wait time was reasonable: not rushed but not too long either. Doctor was attentive, asked all the right questions and offered a diagnosis/treatment that made sense; e.g. - no knee jerk defaults to antibiotics or something to take just for the sake of taking something. A nice experience. Would recommend AFC Urgent Care.

I came in and really should have taken my son to the hospital for asthma. The doctor was wonderful in stabilizing my son enough to get us to ER. She educated me on the lungs, and when I should go to ER as apposed to an urgent care. The staff was very nice and handle the urgency of my situation very smoothly and patiently. The environment was clean, and nice for patients and their families. The staff made sure to give patients good information on care and on billing.

I visited AFC Urgent Care Bonita because I was experiencing mild-moderate chest pain and breathing discomfort. The check-in process was very easy. The waiting area was set up following COVID-19 safety guidelines so a few patients opted to wait outside or in their cars since the seats were limited. There were probably five patients ahead of me so my total wait time after checking in was a little less than a hour, which I find reasonable for a walk-in facility. The staff are all very professional and friendly. The FNP (S******n) who examined me was extremely empathetic and showed genuine concern in my symptoms while maintaining a positive mindset which instantly gave me peace of mind. I was prescribed a new inhaler and picked it up at the Ride-Aid across the parking lot right after my appointment. Overall a great experience if you are willing to be patient before you are seen. I can tell the team work as efficiently as they can to see as many patients as possible.

Review №62

My anesthesia didn’t work and and they kept going with the procedure. It was draining of a cyst, the doctor didn’t offer more anesthesia- she only offered to stop for a moment for me to get a “breather”. I was in obvious pain, I was yelling at points and crying uncontrollably. I have about 30 tattoos, I’ve never cried for any of them, I don’t have a low pain tolerance and when the Dr was done, she’s trying to tell me what the next steps are while I’m still crying uncontrollably- obviously didn’t care about my actual state or whether or not I’d process what she’s saying, which I didn’t. My discharge papers didn’t include one of the medicines she prescribed so when I showed up to the pharmacy, I was only expecting one and there was two. The medical assistants were lovely and although the Dr at the beginning was friendly, when it came to my state of pain- they didn’t seem to care much

We moved into this area from out of state this month, pretty much new to everything. I google searched urgent care center around the town and this place had the most scores on reviews, so we chose this place. My wife had urinary traction infection and we made a visit together at 8:06 a.m. Sunday because she needed English translation. It was our first time visit, so we didnt know what to expect. The front desk receptionist (black lady) was very polite and handled professionally. Our Doctor was a woman and she explained well about womens issue and friendly, too. Our arrival time was 8:06 a.m, one patient ahead of us, took us 20 min waiting at the lobby, total arrival to departure time was less than an hour. This may vary depending on how many patients are ahead of you.Overall, this is a good place to go without an appointment.

Im sad because my husband takes my step son here and usually has a good experience. I take my boys there too and on our last visit 2/23/20, the doctor was absolutely terrible. She barely came into the room. The office tech seems more compassionate and knowledgeable than the doctor, Jennifer Doumas, DO. My son had had a fever for 10 days in a row. She said he just needed to wait it out. She hadnt even examined him! She had no clue the tech gave my son a flu test! I had to tell her. She left the room and after a few minutes I went into doorway of the doctors office and the doctor was mapping a place online! So I asked her if she could tell me the results of the flu test. She then said she would be right in. When she came back into our room, I asked her to examine my son. Then she said he had some fluid in his ear but it was not severe. Needless to say I took my son to his practitioner the next day and he has a sever ear infection and he needed antibiotics! Anyhow, the AFC bill came in and it was $280! I hope the money goes to the tech and not the poor doctor. If we need to go back to urgent care, I will certainly be calling in next time to make sure Jennifer Doumas, DO, is not working that day!

Our one-year old had a fever for 4 days, and I wanted to make sure his lungs were ok because there was a lot of RSV and flu going around, plus I was worried bc his fever wasnt going away. Our pediatricians office had a waitlist of about 15 people, so they recommended I take him to urgent care.So, I took him to urgent care. There wasnt a long wait. When we got in to see the doctor, he didnt even check my baby or his lungs. He just told me in a very serious tone, you need to take him to the ER, hes dehydrated. I tried explaining to the doctor that he had been making at least 4 wet diapers a day, but he didnt listen and just said I need to take him to the ER.I ended up taking him to Radys ER, and the doctor at the ER said he definitely wasnt dehydrated. Going to this urgent care was a waste of time and caused added worry, plus we got a pretty big bill in the mail. If youre not able to get in to see your pediatrician and are really worried about your child, take them to Radys instead.

The urgent care center is located in a nice shopping center and was easy to find. The office and patient rooms were well organized and clean. The wait time was extremely short and the staff were friendly. The doctor I saw was extremely caring and helpful. Im currently without insurance coverage so I paid cash but the rate was extremely affordable and it was my first visit so it should be even cheaper next time. Not one bad thing to say about this place in my experience.

This place is not good urgent care to go to especially on a weekend. My experience today was really bad. They only have a Physician Assistant (no ID badge, no white coat) who attended to me, seems like he does not know what he’s doing (looking confused). I asked him questions but he only returns my questions back to me (he even scratched his head in front of me). I have not gotten any good answers or any diagnosis from him. By the way, I went to this urgent care because I am having low blood pressure reading and symptomatic and also it’s after clinic hours. Then he requested for blood works, nurse came in, the usual looked for my vein, start poking me and never got any blood. Tried to look at the same spot, maybe to poke me again. The nurse excuse herself to get something, then I was thinking that I should just leave this place because seems like no one knows or not sure what they’re doing. I left the room feeling so upset, saw patients waiting in the lobby. I yelled out at the lobby that that place is not a good place to go to and that NO doctors available in that clinic on a weekend. What a day, I will never go back to AFC Urgent Care in Chula Vista. I ended up going to the Emergency Room.

After waiting for an hour and a half to be seen on a Saturday, I was falsely informed that I was ineligible. I have gone to this facility in the past & have had the same insurance for 27 years, so I was confused. I called my insurance first thing Monday and was told there was no issue, I was covered and should have been seen. The woman at the front desk that day made no move to look deeper, I was told they could have easily checked the website and gotten clarification. In the past, while the wait was long, all staff was kind & the doctors were on point. I have mixed feelings now after my last visit there, so I give 3 stars.

The best and fastest urgent care Ive ever been to. From the time i checked in until i left was a total of 36 minutes. My actual doctor isnt even that fast when i have a appointment!

Took my daughter there after another Urgent Care facility in Eastlake told me I could not take her because it was too late and they closed at 8pm (it was 7pm when I called!!!). I called AFC at 7:15pm and they too closed at 8pm. I was told that I could take her not a problem but they did want to advise me of the wait time. My daughter was seen and I want to say that all the staff was great. From the receptionist to the nurse assistant to the nurse practitioner. Thank you very much for actually taking patients in until closing time....

I have been here 3 times so far and every time I get in fast and the staff are so very friendly and caring.The doctors are so amazing they actually showed concern! and listened! and go the extra mile to make sure you get the care you need, after that you get a check up call a day or 2 later. AFC is The best urgent care in my opinion, I have been to many and ignored while trying to check in then wait for hours to see the doctor for just a few minutes! and rude doctors. AFC is a place I can trust and I recommend it to anyone!

I went in to see someone regarding my neck pain and I saw Nurse Practitioner Charles and he was great. My neck pain came from sleeping wrong, improper ergonomics and basically not taking care of my body as an athlete and it was nice to have someone who is also an athlete and understands my drive to get back to being an athlete. He suggested a lot of things that I can do for treatment instead of pain killers as I am pregnant. The staff from the front desk, to the nurse were great. Facility is clean and there was no wait at all. I went in at 5:30pm on a Saturday and I was expecting it was going to be so busy but it was not.

I came here with my son about a month ago and had a wonderful experience. The doctor was genuinely concerned and avoided the ER that day. I would give it 5 except that my husband got there 5 minutes before closing today and was not received. So if its truly an urgency, go with that in mind.

I was very ill with fever and other concerning symptoms, I was referred here by the VA Healthcare and they took care of me right away. I had to wait for a few hours but overall the service was excellent. I was tested for COVID 19 as part of the routine check up and it was negative. Received the results via email. This location is perfect for me so I didnt have to drive to the VA ER at La Jolla that day, I couldnt drive a long distance with a high fever and body aches. I felt better the next few days following the recommended treatment.However, today on 10.8.20 I went back because I was sick again and the doctor who saw me said they couldnt help me and that I had to go to the ER. I basically got kicked out by the doctor without any further explanation and had to call the VA for assistance. The way this happened was unreasonable, for this reasons I changed my review and I dont recommend this place for Veterans.

This facility was expeditious, polite, and professional. It was the cleanest hospital Ive seen since leaving Orange Hills an relocating to Chula Vista. The wait time was nothing compared to other hospitals in the county. I was very impressed with the smooth way staff handeled my situation as I had to have multiple tests in various sections of the facility. Overall I would give a battery of ten stars yet they only go to five. Nurse Brennan and Nurse Julia were spectacular as were all the Doctors and xray technicians. Kudos to San Yisidro Health Center located on Third Avenue in Chula Vista. (Not to be confused with the Otay Lakes facility.) Sincerely,Melody Moreno

I had an emergency, I stepped on a metal wire that went through my shoe into my foot. The receptionist (best lady EVER!) came out and brought me a wheelchair and explained the prices thoroughly. I needed to make sure I was able to afford it. Watched some Guardians of the Galaxy while I waited, maybe 10min if that. Got a tetanus shot (I have a needle phobia) the nurse was nice and gentle, it was so fast I barely felt it. I totally recommend this urgent care, I went in dreading and in pain and I left smiling and feeling at ease!

My dad couldn’t breathe and they didn’t take him because they were full and closing soon. Not very urgent if you ask me.

Staff was nice a bit overwhelmed. One of them showed up and then left and came back don’t know what for but it delayed the process of patients being seen. I waited from 750-830 to be seen and I was the first patient of the day. And I was seen for all of 10 min to take weight and blood pressure asked a few questions then on to the exam room for another 5 min to be told you have the common cold. $129 for 15 min. Absolutely ridiculous. I can’t get health insure thru work because it’s not offered. And work needed a doctor note, mexico on a Saturday would have been horrible when your sick. I feel bad for the people after me as I heard it was gunna be a 3 hr wait

I am still suffering with no help, no thanks to an unhelpful and impolite staff at this location.

I was referred here by the VA Healthcare.. Waited 2 hours + Overall it felt very Rushed once I was seen, No personal touch, visit was less than 1 minute with the Doctor if he was a Doctor Im not sure he did not have an ID Badge or Name Tag with a title. He might have been a Physicians Assistant. Again I wouldnt know because he did not introduce himself. He walked in the room rushed and said whats up, whats the issue Got what I needed for my issue I think? If you can make the extra mile to go to the VA it might be worth your time. if you need something local, just be mindful that time will me a lot less that what you are use to at the VA healthcare system.

Review №98

The only 2 things i liked about this urgent care is that it is open during the weekends and it wasnt busy at all. I gave it a 1 start because my husband came in for stitches on his finger. In our opinion the doctor didnt do a good job. I think it could have used a few more stitches. There are large gaps in between stitches leaving tissue exposed. There is chucks of tissue sticking out and a small portion was not stitch. They were going to begin to stitch with out numbing it first. The doctor seemed very nervous and seems to have a hard time performing. They didnt know where the supplies were located. This experience made us feel uncomfortable and uneasy. It seemed the doctor hadnt done many stitches before or any at all. We are concerned about how it will heal and its been 3 days now.Update: its been a week now and i just received a bill in the mail for $400 for what i think is a botched stitch job. Not only did they not do a good job, they also wrote an incorrect prescription. They prescribed antibiotics for 10 days, 2xs a day but only wrote down a quantity of 10 pills. It should have been written as a quantity of 20 pills. Now i have this large bill that doesnt add up to the quality of work. How do you pay someone full price when the wasnt done correctly.

While on vacation in California our toddler developed ear drainage. We took her here for evaluation as we knew from past experience she would need drops. We waited 1 hour to be seen after checking in (3 other people in waiting room). We then spoke with with a unfriendly nurse who took vitals and history and were moved us to a an exam room. 20 minutes later a provider came in to see us. She did not introduce herself nor wear any identification. She questioned if the female toddler or infant male was here to be seen. She then examined the toddler by looking in her ears and half way examining her lungs. She then said she would provide oral antibiotics and ear drops. She did no education on the type of antibiotics or length of use. We then went back to waiting room to wait 20 more minutes for her to “finish her note” and send rx to pharmacy. After reviewing she underdosed the oral antibiotics as they are based on indication and weight.Maybe my standards are high for healthcare. However, I feel an introduction should have occurred and some education as the provider did not know what our education level. Also, she only did half of an examination based on her symptoms. I would be cautious bring children here unless you have some medical knowledge.

Waste of time. Other than clean Lobby the service sucks. Friday about 4PM, Wife checked in for check up. 2 other behind her was seen first. Asked the desk why they were seen first, the clerk said, maybe somethings wrong with her paperwork. 1 page paperwork. Maybe?? When finally seen by NP or PA, Lung sound chk in the upper and middle lobe and not the lower lobe. Lung sound result was clear.. Wifes was having prolonged coughing issue with thick phlegm. Also, wife explained that she had an episode of accidentally swallowing her own salivahat went to the wrong tube. Wife was prescribed cough medicine and to come back if not better by Monday. Disatisfied. I took my wife to another nearby Urgent Care for second opinion.Thoroughly checked. Lung sound not clear. Chest Xrayed. Was told she has aspiration pneumonia and prescribed with 2 kinds of antibiotics.My wife is Registered Nurse.

MISJUDGMENT: I went in and explained all my symptoms and was seen fairly quickly (it wasnt busy). So I was crying in pain, waiting for the doctor and she came in and didnt even assess me she just asked me to explain my symptoms once again and concluded that I was only having an anxiety attack and they cant treat me there. I left and took myself to the ER where I was admitted to the hospital and spent 5 days there. 2 surgeries later I learned I have something scary going on 😑 Despite the nice service and friendly dimeaners they were to quick to judge a book by its cover, they should have done more. I realize now I was shaking my legs and crying in the room so it probably looked like I was on drugs because they all gave me that look and looked at each other like oh shes on one but you shouldnt look at someone and say this is wrong with you I cant help without even checking properly.

I waited 50 minutes and I went to the fornt desk representative Darlene Garcia told her, I have been waiting for 50 minutes and you have not check my vitals or nothing. She said I am next line or I can reschedule through LHI. I told her that I have already did the reschedule. I told her that I wanted to file a complaint for unethical business practices and discrimination base on my skin color and race. I was only Asian in the room and they were taking care of white and Hispanic people before me. I told her that I want to talk to the management and Practice Manager Elizabeth Justich came to the front desk. She told there is complaint form here and gave me blank paper of printer. she told me write my complaints. I told her I am service member and I had appointment at 0800 and now it is 0850.

The worst Urgent care I have even seen. I was there for two hours with breathing problems and one woman came in with makeup, earrings, perfume on, and nicely dressed no signs of distress. Sat down for about five minutes and asked to pay for co-payment then said I am having breathing problems. I was using my ProAir the whole time ; then when I heard she was next I told the girl at the front counter that I put down I have asthma and bronchitis and could not breath and was not feeling good. She said was next and thats when I said did you read my sheet and see what it said. After two terrible hours with no services I left. I would not go there ever again. I will go to the hospital next time and save on a co-pay from now on. The most screwed up services I have ever seen at that was my first time ever going there.

Long wait with only 1 other family in the waiting room, turns out, the receptionist couldnt find my insurance info. I finally had to go ask her about the long wait...AS the other family was going to the doc before me, and she said, oh yeah, I couldnt find your information, can I see your I.D. again?Once finally inside, the nurse (not an R.N.) took vitals, no smile, no Hi, Im nurse so and so, how are you today? Felt like MEPS for those of you who know what that is. Was taken to the exam room and waited another half hour, literally, for the doctor, who was only a P.A. Looked disheveled like he just woke up. Again, no introduction, just asked what was wrong, took my temp, listen to lungs, looked in throat etc., and said they would take a throat culture and abruptly left. Another 10 minutes later that first nurse took the culture, laughed, as did I, at my gag reflex. Never had such a painful throat culture taken. I think that should have been a clue something was wrong with me that they didnt catch. About 15 minutes later, Dr. Disheveled came back and said, well its not strep. So just keep taking the Advil, anything else? I replied no, thanked him and left. Its been 5 days and Ive gotten worse, cant talk, cant swallow, painful throat. Ill see a real doctor this time.

Would give zero stars if that was an option. I and my husband are from out of town! My husband had an infected eye and thought it was pink eye. We went to this facility for some medical care! The wait was long! After finally getting in they attempted to take my husband bp and after 3 times well lets say have not seen anyone take it that way!! We saw the doctor who was very nice and checked out my husbands eye and concluded conjunctivitis and prescribed drops! At this time he also had leasons on half his face as same as affected eye! Nothing was said I was not sure what caused it after all im not the doctor!Well needless to say after going home and putting these drops in my husbands eye we saw no change in 2.days amd getting worse.We were in the ER yesterday and the doctor took one look and said classic shingles! She asked me where he was diagnosised and I told her! She couldnt believe the missed diagnosis! She said the drops they gave him were useless!Now he is on proper medication and has to see an opthomogist today hoping there will.be no permanent damage to his eye!I would caution anyone going here for a proper diagnosis!

Actually 0 stars if thats possible. Ill start my mentioning I have worked in the medical field as a CNA. And this has been my worst experience with the field. After over 2 hours (which with urgent care I expect the wait, no big deal, Im patient) but after this wait I was seen by the rudest, most inattentive, snarky, useless dr Ive ever dealt with (and Ive dealt with a lot of doctors). She might as well of walked in handed me a antibiotic px and left. She told me to go to a family dr and have them deal with it. When I explained I live in Iowa and am only here for a month, I have insurance and can pay the copay, urgent care is a lot simpler than trying to find another provider, she kinda just hmphed. She wasnt even going to really look at my wound until I put it up to about chest level pointed and told her to. She was in the room for less than 5 mins, basically told me it isnt her job or her problem and then gave me an antibiotic. She also mentioned that if it gets worse I should look into going to the ER. Looks like I may try to be seen by a real dr cus she couldnt be bothered to earn her medical license.

Waste of time and money, paid a copay for the doctor to tell me I couldnt be examined here due to lack of imaging services, even though its listed as a provided service, told to seek care with my primary physician or at an emergency room if symptoms worsened.

Local, went in for diagnosis of Mastoiditis given its new developments (at the time non-diagnosed). Clear signs such as the famous bumb behind the ear on the skull base, cold sweats with high temps sporadically and dull pain. While I understand this is not an ENT specialist facility, something about being told what do you expect me to do? ticked me off beyond comprehension. Regardless of professionalism, failure to even recommend diagnosis or prognosis had me question not only their ethics. Thankfully I dont pay a dime due to insurance, for if I had, I might have gone irate and let the staff have it. Go at your own waste of time(4 hours).

I took my son in 2 days ago for blisters around his mouth. The doc came in looked at it and said it was Hands, foot and mouth disease, proscribed an ointment to put on it. Today i took him to his primary doctor and he said NO they misdiagnosed him and it was no where near being Hands foot and mouth, that it was impetigo and put him on antibiotics. His primary couldnt understand why the urgent care doctor would diagnose him with that when he had no fever, or any of the other signs of hand foot and mouth and no other sores anywhere else. I dont know if the doc was in a hurry to get us out of there or just didnt care but I WILL NOT be going to this urgent again!!!

Terrible!!!!!!! Was only patient in building. After waiting over an hour with 103 fever, coughing , couldnt barely breathe, I left and got treatment in Mexico. Never saw anyone come out of back. Receptionist kept saying someone would see me shortly...they never did. Found out I had pneumonia from doctor in Mexico.

Very nice, and empathetic professional receptionist! First impression is everything. Visit was fairly quick. Would highly recommend. Plus, they take Tricare & visit copay was only $28.

The staff were incredibly courteous and helpful, walked in and was greeted with what I assume was a smile, couldnt really tell with the mask. Overall great experience considering the circumstances. :)

The place was great. I came in with a broken wrist and they got me in quickly, x-rayed me and wrapped it in a splint. Id go there again for sure, though I hope the need does not arise any time soon!

Long wait but the customer service from Areli and the Doctor made up for it , I would recommend coming here if you can’t get into your doctors office

I recommend this place because I had a very pleasant experience with Areli. She made me feel comfortable the entire time I was there which is important to me, not to mention the clinic was clean and quick with their services!

Went in for what I believed was a super severe case of eczema on the bottoms of my feet and on hands. The doctor comes in, gets this startled look, and loudly announced, Wow! you have scabies!. Well I work in a prison, and have had scabies, trust me, this aint it. I tried to explain that to her but no joy. Today, two days later, dermatologist takes one looked at it and says, Hand, foot, and mouth disease. Primarily seen in kids, but adults can get it. If it had been treated right starting this past Saturday it would be clearing already, but there are now new lesions in your mouth that were need to address.. So she prescribed two steroids (oral paste and ointment) and my new scabies cream went straight in the trash. What a waste of my time and money. I wouldnt trust this place with anything exotic... flu symptoms, colds, minor burns and abrasions are probably more their speed. Buyer beware.

Not at all what I had expected. Super clean office and I waited maybe 5 minutes before being seen. The receptionist was very sweet and Dr Sandra was nice and made me feel comfortable.

I came from Arizona, having a minor health issue that makes it difficult to sleep. Told not taking patients, and to call back later. What? How lame is this? Dont waste your time.

Came in with a broken fingerWas told new patients aren’t accepted after 6pmCame the next day at 4:15 and was told the radiologist already left and doesn’t accept new patients up until 3:30 pmI asked Ashley the receptionist why she didn’t inform me of this yesterday after I had made it clear I was returningI would’ve made an appointment but she told me it was walk in onlyAnd not only that would be too I would be charged twice over if I did want to get my finger checked out todaySo day two with a swollen finger,lots of pain yet still no medical treatmentIf I had enough money I’d just go somewhere else but I don’t

Felt like the doctor just wanted me out of there. Just a urine test and nothing for my pain just a attitude of it’s not my problem anymore, “but if it gets worse go to the er” then just sent me on my way with nothing else, a quack doctor

This has got to be the worst urgent care on earth. Doctors are worthless and the staff especially the girl at the desk Veronica is extremely careless and lied to me telling me she was the manager. She isnt the maanger shes a scum bag and doesnt know her head from her butt. I know for sure I will never use this place as long as I live. I hope they close down.

Without overstating the details, FNP Sandra Turnbull, at the Chula Vista AFC, quickly and accurately accessed my condition, directing me to immediately head to the ER. Without her care, along with that at Sharp ER, I may have succumbed to my condition. THANK YOU!!

I called this site for a COVID test, they told me to just confirm with my insurance that they paid for it and then to come right in. I showed up and they turned me away saying there were no appointments available. They did not mention that I needed an appointment.

Rated for Covid Test: took forever to get in. And takes 5+ day to hear back if you have Medi-Cal. Two stars because you can atleast walk in.

Worst experience Ive ever encountered. They forgot that was even in the room and made everything worse instead of treating me. The nurse didnt even administer a shot right and now Im having to visit another doctor to correct it. Worst treatment ever.

This place is a joke... We were charge for a service we didn’t receive! Go somewhere else! Do not waste your time and money there, but more importantly do not put your health at risk by trusting these people.*Sharp urgen care will be a better option*
