    As someone who's always avoided going to the doctor, I'm so damn happy I found this place. There's a reason they're named Caring Physicians!

Dr. Cheffet was extremely diminishing of parental rights. She was pushy and disrespectful. And eventually threatened me if I wouldn't vaccinate my child in her practice under a vaccine schedule (that is now obsolete). Did you not get your big payout for the percentages of patients you vaccinate??? I might've messed with her percentages so she retaliated by breaking my HIPAA rights and reporting me for " negligence" to CPS. We took my son to her very regularly. He got support for every need. She doesn't respect parental rights. I wouldn't be intimidated by her. We have a medical exemption because my child has a very high allergy Profile, neurodivergent and high risk for adverse reaction.. At one point she said there was no risk in vaccinating so I said I would agree if she would sign to be Financially liable, if there were any adverse effects. of course she refused.... Hack of a "doctor". Deplorable ethics. I hope she gets the karma for all those parents. She intimidated for her big vaccine payouts. She's going out on now. I'm gonna report her to the medical board. Gross.

She takes time to hear out any concerns you or the patient may have and does a thorough examination in order to address those concerns. Dr. Cheffet is also very knowledgeable in sports medicine, although, she is not a sports doctor, she does know what she is talking about. She also is an Internal Medicine doctor. So, if you are looking for a doctor, come see her, she is awesome! Dr. Cheffet is no longer at this practice, but I hear she has relocated to another one still in town. If you're lucky enough to find her you won't regret it.

Mistakes with medications as recent as the last couple of days for a Insulin injection which I am NOT diagnosed with. Failed to communicate on changes of medications. Some staff, including office managers ware very rude and insolent and refused to explain why they did NOT call back when I left messages with concerns. Waiting times were outrageous, up to 60-90 minutes. HIPPA violations. Always training "new" people, but office staff were very rude and try to control you when you are describing a problem. Never again. Consider State Medical Board complaint. I see the patterns and still no results on my SSA Disability form done over 12 months ago. Nothing good to say about this doctor and certain staff members. I'm handicapped and they refused to do TeleHealth video or telephonic calls due to injuries I have and handicapped with constant Pain. Officer managers & STaff are inconsiderate of a patient's Pain, waiting times driving & Parking considerations, or economic status and other HEalth issues for a Diabetic person with Kidney stones.

Still, I was dissatisfied enough to ask friends to refer me to another doctor. The reason was that when I went to see Dr. X, I sat in big waiting room, waited for a long time, and then was ushered into one of about a dozen examination rooms where I waited some more. Dr. X and I were just ships passing in the night. I was referred to Dr. Bressler, and at the time I think I was lucky that he accepted me as a patient. What a contrast in the way that he practices medicine. After any examination he meets with you in his office, answers all of your questions and offers advice. During that time you never feel that his attention is devoted to anything but you. In helping you consider decisions he will explain the issue without talking down to you. In our consultations he has referred me to latest published study on a particular treatment. He is extremely personable, jokes a bit, and shows true interest and empathy. The "staff" are themselves are a team of medical professionals who the most helpful and friendly that I have ever encountered. If I need something I can email his office and get a quick response. This is by far the best experience I have had with any physician and I wouldn't change for anything. One more thing, on your first visit say hello to Dr. B's dog, Izzy.

The receptionist informed me that the Doctor does not except insurance of any kind. She informed me that I would have to pay for my services in full, before leaving the practice, and it would be my responsibility to submit all charges to the insurance company for reimbursement. Uhh no thanks, that sounds like a headache waiting to happen... That's a shame he had good reviews, but something does not add up here.

Dr. Witman is an exceptional physician who is tenacious in her resolve to figure out the best way to help her patients. I appreciate the lengths she has gone to - to maximize my health. Besides further research, she has referred me to specialists who she communicated with, and advocated for me when she didn't think a specialist was treating my case with the urgency she felt it warranted. She has also helped interpret other doctors' notes, lab reports & x-rays for me so that I understood what they meant. Availability has been so valuable. Every time I have called her office with some ailment, I have been able to get in to see the doctor that day. When I have sent Dr. Witman an email summarizing visits with specialists...she responded off-hours even if it was a weekend or evening. Her responses were very detailed indicating that she has studied the results from the various specialists. She truly is dedicated to delivering the highest quality personal healthcare.

    Only for the San Diego location:…read more This was by far one of the worst medical office experiences I've ever had. The issue is not the doctor, it's the team running the office. I had an appointment scheduled for 8:30 AM and was not seen until around 11:00-11:30 AM. That's nearly a three-hour wait in the waiting room, followed by additional waiting time inside the exam room for the doctor. Completely unacceptable, especially for a primary care office where scheduling should be managed properly. It was very clear this is a systemic issue. While I was waiting, multiple patients were complaining about the same thing. This is not a one-time situation, this is how the office operates. The lack of organization didn't stop there. After my visit around June or July, it took about a month just for the referral to be sent to my insurance, which didn't receive it until August. Because of that delay, my authorization eventually expired. Now months later, as of March 31, I called to request a new authorization. They took my information and said they would call me back, but they never did. I understand systems can go down, but there is no follow-up, no accountability, and no sense of urgency. The front desk and administrative staff are extremely inefficient, unresponsive, and disorganized. For a team this small, there is no excuse for this level of poor service. Again, the doctor herself was not the problem, but the team completely undermines the entire experience and patient care process. I would strongly advise others to avoid this office unless they are prepared to deal with excessive wait times, delayed referrals, and no follow-up. This office needs serious management intervention.

    I will be filing a formal complaint with both the Medical Board and our insurance provider.
