I’ve been going here for 6 years and have always had a wonderful experience with Dr. Saroki and the front office staff. They treat me like a real person, and I trust them with my life (literally). Even though I’m now living in Orange County, it is worth it for me me to drive down to San Diego to keep the same doctor. I’m a healthier and happier person because of her. Can’t recommend COLFS highly enough!

Our entire family have been patients of Dr Saroki for over 4 years. What we love about her as our doctor is that she really listens and cares about her patients health. She offers reasonable daily solutions to avoid medications and improve your health. We feel seen and heard, but most of all that our health is her top priority.

Our family has been coming to COLFS since we moved to the area about a year ago and are delighted with COLFS. We had great providers at our old home, but we have never encountered such a professional, kind, and thorough staff as we have found at COLFS. For example, I had recently visited my highly regarded dermatologist for a preventative review due to a history of minor skin cancers before my physical with Dr. Delgado. He did his own thorough skin exam and found two skin cancers that had been undetected. Very happy with COLFS for every type of problem.

I have been a patient of COLFS for 10 years seeing Atefeh. She is WONDERFUL! She helps me navigate all of my physical and mental health needs and always provides a holistic approach to my health care. I trust her indefinitely and really just want to give her a shout-out for the quality of care she provides.

Because of an infection, Dr Delgado fit me into his already full schedule. My wait time was very short. I received a small procedure and detailed explanations before, during and after. The was staff friendly and very helpful.

Writing this review after my first and probably last visit at the downtown location. The doctor was nice enough, and the offices were clean and inviting. Unfortunately, the front desk staff soured the entire experience. She seemed annoyed about every question I asked, and did not help me find answers to my questions. Patients are coming here during some of the most vulnerable and difficult seasons of their life. Every interaction matters. If they claim to be Christian/Catholic I expect the best of human integrity, and to be treated with consideration. If you have insurance, it might be worth coming here. I paid out of pocket, so it is not worth it for me to continue to spend so much money here when I couldnt wait to get out of there.

Called and got an appointment the next day to see my primary care physician, the doctor spent probably 30 minutes with me examining my purpose of coming in and made a couple referrals for further examination.I was happy with my examination.

I was pleasantly surprised meeting with Dr. Delgado, Melissa, & all staff. The atmosphere was relaxed, friendly, & unhurried. I was especially impressed with Dr. Delgados professional manner, organized, thorough, & fore-sited. He knew my complex medical history & knew exactly how to proceed. I was grateful that I felt NO judgement whatsoever about me being a senior, my religious choice, or any political idea.

I have had multiple miscarriages over the years more than I can count and never had some one help me or really listen like DR saroki did she ran test for me while I was early in my pregnancy around 5 weeks because it was confirmed at 4wks3days at a clinic that referred me to them 💕 she put me on progesterone just to be safe (low progesterone causes recurring miscarriages) which is what helps carry the pregnancy before the placenta takes over and I never thought I would be able to say I’m a mom now with a beautiful babygirl I carried to term she is 9 months now and will stop by just to tell her thank you ! I honestly never thought it would happen for me it’s just amazing such a great place I would recommend to woman trying to conceive please check it out baby dust ! 🙏

THIS DOCTORS OFFICE IS HORRIBLE!!!!!! Ive been trying since July 3 to get an order from them for a mammogram. Its now July 16 and I still dont have the order!!! I called July 15 and actually got the receptionist and she stated, someone will call you back today, if possible. That never happened!!! I called back today and my call went to answering service. I didnt leave them a message. Whats the point?

COLFS clinic is literally finding a diamond. The staff are very kind, they have an app where you can schedule appointments and I have both my kids on 1 account. Dr. Saroki and her NP Dana both are so so kind and well educated. I came in for an ear infection for my daughter and since it wasnt severe they offered natural remedies along side of antibiotics if I opted for that. Its easy to get appointments and they take their time with you and its never like you feel like rushed or a burden for asking questions. Best doctors I have found for my kids ever! We will be lifelong patients. Thank you Dr Karen Saroki and NP Dana. 😊

We went to this clinic for the first time for our daughter’s two month check up with Dr. Saroki. She was nice and informative and tried her best to help my baby feel comfortable. The front desk staff and nurses here are very friendly and we never felt rushed or unwelcomed. They gave us time to think about the vaccines she needed and did not pressure us into getting them. The facility also looks clean and comfortable. Very happy with our visit.

My televisit was fantastic. My NP was very insightful and really listened to me. She was compassionate but also had expertise that was effective and applicable. Since I have followed the medication regimen I am feeling so much better and have been getting well. I am here to say that COLFS still has a spiritual and ethical view about how to conduct their medical practice.

Dr. Saroki is an amazing doctor! She is my pcp and my sons. She is so caring and thoughtful! Always addresses my needs and my sons. I’ve been with many drs and she is by far the absolute best! I wouldn’t go anywhere else. She’s very understanding and doesn’t push you to do anything you don’t want to do with your care plans. The office staff are wonderful as well. Very sweet, kind, and welcoming. I never have to wait long, we always get right in. 😇🙏🏻✨🦋❤️

I get a new provider every time I go in so I can’t establish a doctor to patient relationship. Lots of staff turnover. They fail to call in prescriptions-I have to call them every month to remind them to renew an rx that should be good for 12 months.Frint desk and nursing staff are nice. PAs have been rude and judgmental. I’ve never posted a medical review before but thought I better warn folks. Find other care.

Great local health care provider. I have not been to an M.D. in over 30 years, except for two annual checkups at the recommendation of my chiropractor. Dr. Saroki is wonderful and I really like COLFS. Glad they are part of my plans to keep this 68 year old body in good shape. Thanks also to PRN Physical Therapy in Escondido. Along with Escondido Boot Camp they help me to improve health after two femur breaks, and a few other issues. Now I can add a great review after my annual checkup with Dr. Delgado. Looking forward to a great future.

Review №57

Dr Saroki is the BEST doctor I have ever had. 5 stars to her. The staff however is the complete opposite. Orders are done incorrectly or the orders are not sent to Imaging so you have to call and beg them to send it. Mistakes can happen but when it’s every single time… You can leave hundreds of messages to the “referral” lady, she will never return your call, EVER, even if you leave a message that it’s for a biopsy (you know the thing to check if you have cancer…) So you will have to call front desk 5 to 10 times hoping that they can send the referral to the right number. The manager won’t talk to you and the poor front desk lady will have to deal with your concerns.

Culture of Life Family Services has been our primary care for our entire family for almost 15 years, until our recent move out of state.We have worked with Dr. Saroki and Dr. Delgado extensively, and occasionally worked with the NPs as well. Over all these years I have been consistently amazed and grateful for these doctors. They really listen and really care. They have been extremely respectful of my autonomy... working with me as a partner in my health journey, not simply dictating what I should do. Both my husband and I have had some complicated health issues come up. They always trusted us and took what we told them seriously, and, consequently, were able to figure out what was wrong and help us when other doctors (the specialists!) had given up. They went to bat with the insurance company so that we actually got the care we needed... I just cant say enough about how grateful we are for them.The current staff is really wonderful! Kind, caring, and diligent, and timely.The staff has usually been wonderful. Over the years, there have been times when they got new staff or did a restructuring, and, for a little while, it was difficult to get things done or we might wait a while for our appointment once we got there. But, to me, whenever that happened, it was so worth the wait and the inconveniences to see these doctors. But then, given a little time, the new staff would come up to par and those inconveniences would go away.As I said, the current staff are stellar.I LOVE Culture of Life Family Services and am so grateful for all they have done for our family!

Nurse Grauerholz, I believe, is bigoted &/or, racist.As I was explaining the racist pitholes in trying to take the exams requested. She hung up on my?! Then we were reconnected, and not only did she persistently interrupt me; but it felt like someone else was there...and she was trying to document us in an insincere, non-Catholic, unprofessional scheme. How can I be diagnosed if I am not listened to?! Her personal opinions should have never entered the office. My bringing it up related to my issues. It was gross. And it all started when I refused to pronounce my name. I am 53. And I told her that her pronunciation was sufficient. It should have ended there. I am at this practice because I used to receive compassion... And Im dealing with fellow women...I am not the problem. Do better, because I do not know any of you. Put your best foot forward, and, walk in your client’s shoes, instead of inserting your fragility(its). It was gross, absurd, petty, cruel, and, dangerous. Lord forbid something is wrong. My servicing was subpar.

When I heard about culture of life family services I assumed like some places they would ask a lot of information when gifting help but nope. They are truly amazing! All they asked were my kids ages and sex. The front desk was very nice and welcoming. They have an area for kids to play with toys, read books and 4 of my kids absolutely loved that! The office is made for comfort and a place for children all ages. I am having a hard time financially with my 5 kids and expecting and this office was a blessing!!! I recommend them to anyone looking for a welcoming and safe space to go for help and also prenatal care. If I wasn’t so high risk I would honestly come to this office.

Review №84

The doctors are nice but the staff provides really bad service. They often tell you they will call you back, and more times than not, they do not call you back even when something is urgent. The still use fax to send in paperwork and they often sent it to the wrong place or just dont send it at all forcing me to call and wait 20+ minutes on the line while it gets sorted. This must have happened 5 or 6 times. I have also been misinformed and have been sent out-of-network for services causing me to pay out-of-pocket for a covered service. I honestly cannot recommend this place as they dont show much empathy and dont have much of a follow-up with their patients. You need a system to remind your staff to follow-up with patients or put it on a sticky note but please do something.

The nursing moms club has been a very valuable service to me. I’ve been going consistently for the past five weeks and plan to continue, as my baby and I keep progressing through a transition period needing monitoring. My baby is struggling, but the lactation consultants in the nursing moms club have been really helpful with troubleshooting and ideas for how to succeed with breast-feeding. When my insurance didn’t provide good lactation support, and then I switched and was in between insurances having to wait for a lactation appointment, nursing moms club filled in all the gaps for me so that I could have good support to nurse my baby the best and most that I could. So thankful I heard about this through my local moms group online! Highly recommend! Jennifer and Rachel have been very attentive and informative as they worked to help me. I’m so grateful.

Review №89

As a christian, I thought this was going to be a long-term office Id attend. However, after multiple scenarios that have come up where the quality of care for the patient were not put before money and time, I realized this was more of a money making business than client based.I was not notified that I was only seen by a nurse practitioner each time I went into the office. I was under the impression I was seeing my doctor. These nurse practitioners did not know enough about how to handle problems, rather looked at a screen after typing in a diagnosis, and still gave incomplete information. Not until speaking with other medical professionals did I find this out.The neglect shown toward my health has now put my pregnancy and myself in harms way. I had tests done on a Friday that were urgent, the results were sent back that Monday, and I did not ever hear back from anyone. I had to call and email the nurse to get the test results and treatment plan, and again because she was not aware of proper medication protocol, she gave me my medication at the wrong time and I might not have needed it at all frankly. She also neglected to give me medical advice for my situation which prevented further treatment progress. Very disappointed in this service, and as a christian, I truly am disappointed in the way my care was handled.Furthermore and lastly, when I asked for a doctor appointment after giving this information to the receptionist, she said they couldnt get me in for another month. From my experience, doctors always kept space for sick patients, but that is certainly not here. They did not seem caring or compassionate toward my situation, nor did she care that I was leaving their practice. I suppose that is the perk of working for the money and not for the values. My advice: do not call yourself a Christian practice if you cannot use those values in your workplace.

This clinic is always very friendly and accessible. The nurse was very accommodating when I needed a last minute ultrasound. She was very welcoming and made the questionnaire very simple and easy. It is very clear that they are there to help and you dont feel like just another appointment. They even provide resources for those in need or in hard times to people of all walks of life no matter their religion or country of origin, without discrimination or judgement. They are truly an asset to the community. Their free ultrasounds are very easy and if you find yourself in a hard spot, they will help you out.

AVOID this doctors office at all costs! In there office, the staff is unorganized and rude. The doctor was nice on the first visit but after the first visit rushed through our appointment and did not seem to listen and we learned they did not take proper notes from our previous visit. We also had an ultrasound scheduled and they cancelled it without telling us so we showed up at our appointment anyway. I had bloodwork ordered and they did not give us the proper paperwork so we went to get blood work done and could not do it. We had to leave, drive to their office to get the paperwork and reschedule the blood work--Their excuse was they were understaffed. Now I am trying to get my blood work results transferred to my new doctor and they cant seem to locate my results. It is so disorganized and unprofessional. Not to mention, on average, every time I call the hold time is 20+ minutes to finally get someone on the phone. I have been told multiple times they will call me back and I have never received a call back. DO NOT go here if you want proper health care. I dont know how they are still in business.

I don’t know what changed, but it’s extremely disheartening to no longer have the level of care Dr Delgado provides. I wish his staff was aligned with the mission proclaimed. I was hung up on when I started to cry after they refused service.As someone with an autoimmune disease, I see a lot of doctors. None of them compare to the compassion and professionalism at COLFS. I’ve seen both Jenna the NP and Dr. Delgado. They don’t just go through the motions, they LISTEN. I feel better than I’ve felt in years because Dr. Delgado was willing to do further testing, rather than just accepting my “normal” labs. He listened to my symptoms and helped me find a solution. I’m so grateful for this office.The staff is wonderful, as well. I love COLFS!

Everyone is great. Even if you don’t have health insurance, they do anything possible to help you. They show that they truly care for expectant mothers and their babies. Thank you so much COLFS for everything you do. God bless you!

Dr Saroki was recommended to me and my son by our insurance. My son and I had quite a few visits due to routine requirements plus some various health concerns, and we ended up seeing both Dr Karen Saroki and Dr. George Delgado.I must say, “They are both such wonderful doctors”.Dr. Saroki, being our primary physician, she demonstrated rich knowledge across medicinal and naturalpathic. She is extremely caring, understanding and respects everyone around her. I felt lucky at first, but after several visits, I felt blessed.My son had a topical concern which may or may not be serious, and COLFS clinical staff suggested that we see Dr Delgado for subsequent visits if necessary, so we did. Dr. Delgado was very patient and sensible explaining everything, plus a nice touch of humor towards my adolescent boy. The report turned out good they reminded us to continue observation.The staffs at the clinic are all very caring, friendly, and courteous.I will have no reservation when recommending the COLFS clinic. We should have more doctors and clinics like them.

I really like my doctor, but the office staff is very hard to deal with. Trying to get a person on the phone is next to impossible, and the voice mail system is THE WORST. Half of the time they hang up on you before you can even leave a message. There is a real lack of communication between doctors, staff, and patients 😕

Normally, I would never publicly review a doctors office, but this place is my saving grace!! I’m bummed their closer location is no longer, but I’m willing drive hours to see professionals with the love everyone here exhibits. I’m a father to a son who’s suffered bad brain damage from the local hospital many years ago. So I’m not a fan of health care but I’m a big fan for being healthy!! I feel very fortunate to have found COLFS and especially Dr Saroki!!!

NOT A GOOD ONE ! Dr delgado was not very focus in my case spent almost 30 min just looking at his computer and dont really know what he was doing , maybe playing Minecraft or something else at the end he just said take Tylenol which really was a joke to me spent all the driving there for nothing , I wont ask for him anymore the office has changed and is not the same as before when doc Latifa was amazing and caring at the same time and really focus in listening.

Review №112

This organization in Escondido is horrid. they may seem nice at first but horrible customer service once you are locked in. the medical assistants and front office ladies are incompetent. the Dr. are exceptional, however they have major issues with the ladies working up front. they will ruin your appointment times and claim that you as a patient is wrong about your scheduled time and challenge you at all cost. do yourself a favor and find a better office. for this organization to get better the management has to provide training to their front line staff. teach these girls how provide better customer service and use spreadsheet for appointments.

Review №117

This place is deceiving. Upon further investigation this place is not an actual medical clinic. This place is run by a church group. The ultrasound person was very incompetent I had 3 other pregnancies, and I felt like I could do and read the ultrasound better than the tech . These people lure you in and then try to brainwash religion into you. Some lady counselor insisted on been present during a transvaginal ultrasound, she was a total stranger. This made me feel like my privacy rights were violated. I didnt return and looked for care elsewhere. I advice others to not go into this clinic if you really care about your pregnancy. i went into this clinic looking to pay for my ultrasound due to unexpected bleeding and was concerned about my baby. Since I didnt want to go to the E.R. I booked an appointment here, needless to say it was a waste of time. Since i didnt returned I have received multiple text from different numbers and calls all saying they are from this place and they are concerned about me. This is harassment. This is a fake clinic designed to lure women who cant decide what to do with their pregnancy. This was not my case at all. My husband and I are happy about the pregnancy and cant wait to meet our new baby. At this place I was treated as if I was looking for an abortion which was not the case, I was concerned about my safety as is bombarded with posters of giving up your baby for adoption. Over the top religious to the point where I felt uncomfortable. They force in a counselling session before they can tell you anything about your pregnancy. A counselling session where they want to know everything about your religious practices and beliefs. Please dont go into this clinic is just a trick. Look up these types of clinics online. There are videos online of people going undercover to reveal these fake clinics.

Review №120

If I could give negative stars I would. This place is a predatory religious establishment willing to misinform patients in the name of Jesus Christ. I was assigned to them through an HMO plan and at no point was I informed of their intentions as a practice. I walk in and it’s not until I see the religious symbols covering the waiting room that I realize something is off. I went in for a routine physical and asked for a referral to a gyno so I can remove my IUD and get back on the pill. The doctor then proceeded to point back to a cross on the wall and say they were a special practice that can’t make referrals that pertain to seeking contraception. She then attempted to bully me into letting her take out my IUD right there and preached tracking my fertility as a significantly more effective method. It was only after an extreme emotional reaction and me repeatedly saying I was never aware of their religious bias and do not subscribe to their beliefs that she finally caved and gave me the referral I needed. The only reason i didn’t run as fast as humanly possible from this cult is because I did appreciate their hesitation to over prescribe meds for other chronic issues I was dealing with. I later came to regret that decision.On a separate occasion, the same doctor referred me to a neurologist who was also a religious zealot. After performing the necessary tests for MS and getting all negative results, he proceeded to treat me like a lab rat and put me on multiple medications to see what happened. Even my pharmacist expressed serious concern about the prescriptions. I decided to cut ties with both the neurologist and Culture of Life for good. It has been over 4 years and these predators still harass my inbox and voicemail trying to get me to come back. I’m from the south and know these kinds of people well. These facilities do not prioritize your personal health. They prioritize their pro-life / anti-choice agenda.In response to your response:No you do not prioritize every patient’s health and needs. I’m telling you from first hand experience that you are prioritizing your anti-choice agenda before your patient’s needs. I had to cause a scene to get a referral for a gyno to get birth control that I needed. You insisted on attempting to force me into your way of life. This is less of a medical establishment and more of a cult environment. Please make it more apparent that you are a church group not a medical group so that people who are not a part of this religion can stay away. You’re wasting people’s time and money. You should be ashamed of yourselves.

I started taking classes with “Earn While You Learn” maybe a month ago and I have to say, it has been nothing but super helpful! Even as a mother of 4 and expecting our 5th, I have to say that there is always so much to learn about your children and how to be a better parent. And with Earn While You Learn, you not only get great information on how to be a better parent and gain more knowledge about things you thought you knew everything about, but with each class you take (online by the way! Super convenient for us busy parents!), you earn “Baby Bucks” which can be used towards items you commonly need for your baby like diapers, clothes, baby beanies and so much more. Deacon John Fredette is super friendly and helpful to anyone who needs help getting started with this awesome program!Something new I learned...although a cup of coffee a day is usually “okay’d” by our lovely doctors during pregnancy, if you drink that cup a day faithfully (like me), your baby will respond to decaf the exact same way he or she would if you drank regular! Hmm. Something to think about!
