1 Star -- Extremely Disappointing and Heartless Experience…read more My 90-year-old wheelchair-bound mother, my husband, and I have all been patients of Perlman Clinic. After what happened today, all three of us will be leaving the practice. I had an 11:00 AM appointment for my mother, but the office called and changed it to 10:40 AM, insisting she needed a 40-minute appointment. I explained that we did not need 40 minutes, but they insisted. Getting my 90-year-old mother out of the house is extremely difficult. I drove 30 minutes to pick her up, helped get her into the car, and then drove another 25 minutes to the clinic. Knowing I would be late, I called the office ahead of time to let them know. I arrived approximately 15 minutes late. My mother was still sitting in the car while I went inside to get help transferring her into a wheelchair. I explained the situation, that she was in pain and needed to see a doctor, and pleaded with them to please see her. They refused. What was most upsetting was the complete lack of compassion toward a 90-year-old, wheelchair-bound patient. The staff's response felt cold, dismissive, and aggressive. There was no attempt to accommodate the situation or show understanding of what it took to get my elderly mother to that appointment. My mother had been a patient of the medical practice Perlman took over for approximately 50 years. After decades as a patient, this is how she was treated. This is also not my first frustrating experience. I have personally waited 20-30 minutes beyond my scheduled appointment time at this practice, yet there was no flexibility when an elderly patient arrived 15 minutes late after her appointment had been changed by the office. I have also been disappointed by what I perceive as a lack of continuity and experience among some of the providers I've encountered, as well as frequent referrals to outside specialists rather than having concerns addressed directly. The front-office experience has been particularly disappointing. I have witnessed behavior that I consider unprofessional, including staff chatting about personal matters in the waiting area. Two employees, Gavin and Cezon, were particularly rude and aggressive during today's interaction. Healthcare should involve more than policies and appointment times. It should involve compassion, especially when dealing with elderly and vulnerable patients. Perlman Clinic failed my mother today. After this experience, I no longer have confidence in this practice. All three of us will be finding healthcare elsewhere.

Dr. Moasis listens, he did not rush me, nor make me feel as I was just a number to his practice. He is down to earth, so very easy to speak to.

From the moment I walked into the office I was greeted with a smile snd a hello. The office admin was so friendly and smiling! I felt completely at ease and relaxed.

I rarely write negative reviews, but after repeated experiences with Dr. John Clancy, I feel…read moreobligated to share what happened, particularly because elderly patients and patients who are not fluent in English deserve to be treated with dignity and respect. My 74-year-old mother recently moved from Canada to San Diego, and we have been rebuilding her medical care here from scratch. English is not her first language, and I routinely accompany her to appointments to make sure she understands her medical care and can communicate her concerns properly. We have seen Dr. Clancy multiple times, so this review is not based on one unpleasant encounter. Unfortunately, we have repeatedly experienced the same dismissive and unwelcoming behavior. Our appointments have felt extremely rushed, often lasting only approximately 5-10 minutes. When we ask questions, we have experienced sighing, visible frustration, eye-rolling, and responses that made both my mother and me feel as though we were an inconvenience rather than patients seeking medical care. Today's appointment crossed a line for me. My mother was trying her best to explain an issue concerning her daily blood-pressure medication. During the conversation, Dr. Clancy rolled his eyes, removed his glasses, looked directly at me and, referring to my mother's English, said words to the effect of: "When she speaks English, it makes me frustrated and I don't understand." I found this extraordinarily disrespectful and humiliating. A 74-year-old woman struggling to communicate in her second language should never be made to feel embarrassed for trying to explain a medical concern to her physician. There are professional and compassionate ways to handle a language barrier. Showing visible irritation toward an elderly patient is not one of them. What makes this more concerning is that today's experience was not isolated. We have left previous appointments feeling rushed, uncomfortable and unwelcome as well. Today simply reached the point where I could no longer remain silent. We will be finding my mother another primary-care physician. I also intend to formally report our experience through the appropriate channels because I believe elderly patients, immigrants, and people with limited English proficiency should be able to seek medical care without being made to feel ashamed or burdensome. I strongly encourage families, especially those caring for an elderly parent who may need additional patience or help communicating to consider our experience when deciding whether this practice is the right fit for them. Respect and compassion should be the absolute minimum a patient receives in a doctor's office.

We joined Dr. Edwards' World of Wellness direct primary care medical practice because we wanted a…read moreprimary care doctor relationship outside the typical insurance driven model. Specifically, we wanted a doctor-patient relationship where we could really get to know and trust our doctor, and where we felt comfortable unpacking all of the issues affecting our health. Here's an example of the care she's provided to me: I was dirt biking with my adult son in December 2020 when I had an unplanned, violent dismount into a rocky berm. After returning home, I wanted to crawl in bed and not move. My wife, however, contacted Dr. Edwards who immediately evaluated my condition via a video call. That's right, Dr. Edwards completed an evaluation on a Saturday afternoon within minutes of me crawling into bed! Dr. Edwards persuaded your hardheaded reviewer that I needed to get to an ER, ASAP. She then called two hospitals to find the best facility to provide the proper diagnostic testing and care. When I showed up, the attending physician was expecting me, and the appropriate diagnostic tests were promptly performed. As it turned out, I suffered significant internal injuries that subsequently required transfer to a San Diego level 1 trauma hospital. The day after my discharge, Dr. Edwards came to our home to check on me. That's right, she made a house call!! While I'm sure the medical staff at the hospital gave me adequate post discharge instructions, there's nothing like having your trusted doctor explain your injuries and the importance of completing the proscribed recovery regime. Without having an established and trusting relationship with Dr. Edwards, my stubbornness could have resulted in a very poor outcome for me and my family. Thank you, Dr. Edwards, for your prompt and effective care that made a huge difference for me! I strongly recommend you contact Dr. Edwards so you too can experience a doctor-patient relationship almost unheard of in today's insurance driven medical care environment.

Dr. Whitney is AWESOME! He's so incredibly attentive to everything I needed. Seriously, It's been…read morea few years since I've been to the doctor, and I definitely was a little nervous going in. I probably am THAT patient that some doctors get irritated with, because I went in with a list of items that we needed to chat about or get referrals for. And as we talked, he made a mental note of each one. He fully addressed each and every thing I wanted to discuss and then moved onto the next. For me, this appointment crossed a TON off my to-do list as it was so productive. I think we can all agree that we've walked out of a doctor's office and said "oh shoot, he didn't tell me about ____". With Dr. Whitney, you'll never have to worry about that. After the fact, Dr. Whitney personally followed up with me, and advised me he'd submitted my referrals and I should be hearing back soon. I've never had such personable attention from any Doctor's office let alone one Doctor specifically!
