I spent nearly $11,000 with Advanced Functional Medicine seeking treatment for mold-related illness…read moreand left feeling completely misled. I was not there for treatment of my autoimmune condition--I already had a neurologist managing that. I came specifically for help with mold illness, yet nearly every symptom I reported was attributed to my autoimmune disease while my mold concerns were never addressed. At the time, I was incredibly sick and so desperate to feel better, so I was willing to try almost anything that gave me hope. Because of that, it didn't take much for me to agree to finance treatment. I deeply regret that decision. My initial consultation was with Dr. Willis, but after that I never saw him again. Every subsequent appointment I had was with other staff members, such as a nutritionist. I later learned that Dr Willis was a chiropractor rather than a functional medicine physician, and there was no physician involved in my care who could prescribe medications. Most appointments were phone calls that consisted of me crying and being told to give the 'treatment' more time while my health continued to decline significantly. I also experienced repeated problems with my 'medical records' and the administrative side of my care, including errors in medical documentation and billing. In my experience, the entire process was disorganized and added to an already overwhelming situation. After months of treatment, I had accumulated a large loan while my condition continued to worsen. Ironically, I am now doing significantly better under the care of a physician who actually specializes in mold-related illness and toxicity. This experience left me feeling devastated and taken advantage of. This is my personal experience, and I hope others carefully research who will be treating them, understand their credentials and scope of practice, and think carefully before making a significant financial commitment before signing anything.

My PCP Lindzee was awesome, very personable and was quite sweet to my tiny humans.

Enrique (spelling) was the one who was able to draw mg blood and people usually struggle but he got and was super gentle; even my littles felt comfortable around him.

When it comes to managing your health and healing your body you need direction, accountability, and…read moresupport.... Dr. Martinez has been just that! While I am an avid researcher and spend a lot time investigating symptoms and triggers for disease I knew I couldn't heal my body alone. I needed an expert. After getting back some labs from a speciality doc who stated he would just keep an eye on things but everything is "fine for now" I knew I needed to seek out better care. Most doctors will prescribe you drugs to alleviate symptoms... while naturopathic doctors will get to the underlying cause of them. A brief look at my health: I have had stomach/gut problems my entire life, an autoimmune disease, and a thyroid imbalance. I also hadn't had my period in months! While this journey hasn't been cheap, the investment into healing my body has been the best thing I have ever done for myself. Seeing my levels/numbers change for the better with Dr. Martinez's direction has been amazing. I finally started my period again, my cortisol/testosterone has normalized, and the antibodies (stress/attack) on my thyroid/hashimotos has gone from 371 to 150. My journey isn't over but I am grateful to have her support and expertise to guide me with each step! Dr. Martinez is lovely, refreshing, and full of wisdom.

Late last year and also early this year I needed some help and so I made an appointment with one of the newer doctor. Doctor was nice and all but when bill came in it was not what I was expecting. It was charged for a long visit which it was not. Dr. was new and so he had lots of questions etc. but that it not my fault. I complained, went back and forth but ended up paying. This is NOT the first time I see this practice from UCSD. My son at different location had same exact situation and for normal consultation with GI dr. it is costing us $438 (yes, for 15 mins or so visit). I read another review from January with similar overcharge comment. From my experience and from another comment I see a pattern here and it seems they are trying to milk every dime they can from insurance, from patients, from whoever they can.

I'm writing this review because what happened to me should never happen to any patient…read more I came to this clinic in a vulnerable and time-sensitive situation, and instead of being treated with professionalism, care and compassion, I was met with dismissiveness and a complete lack of understanding from office management. It was clear that certain staff members in critical positions are not trained -- or not willing -- to de-escalate, listen, or handle difficult situations with basic empathy. What I experienced felt more like ego and defensiveness than patient care. My provider has been supportive, but the front-end leadership turned an already stressful medical situation into something unnecessarily painful. No patient who is already struggling should walk out feeling worse because of the staff's attitude. UCSD is a respected institution -- but this experience shows that some individuals do not uphold the standard the institution's name carries. I hope leadership genuinely reflects on this, because the way certain staff behaved is not just disappointing -- it is unacceptable for a healthcare environment.
