My personal overall experience was very good and I will explain more. I called last week on Monday…read moreand was able to set up an appointment the same week on Friday with Dr. Brodsky at 10:15 AM. Quick calendar appointment was great. Arriving there were 4 people in the waiting room with at least 20 chairs so seemed spacious. I walked up to the front desk where I was greeted nicely, explained I had an appointment to the young gal behind the desk, she confirmed then politely asked for my ID and insurance card, she gave me initial paperwork to fill out with a clipboard/pen and within 15 minutes of arriving my name was being called by the intake nurse. Greeted warmly the nurse took my weight initially on the scale then led me back the room where I would be seen by the doctor. The nurse asked me a series of questions about what I wanted to get checked today and if I had any medical conditions they needed to know about. She took my blood pressure and asked me to wait for the doctor and left closing the door behind her. After a few minutes Dr. Brodsky came in greeted himself, pulled a seat up to the computer in the room and proceeded to ask me a series of questions based about my needs were today. He is straight-up and to the point type of guy so don't expect small talk or a joke but that is all good with me. More efficient that way anyway. My visit was to get a full blood panel taken to see what my iron, cholesterol and vitamin levels are as a standard checkup, I had a skin tag on my neck wanting to get removed and lastly I had injured my finger that needed to get a professional opinion on. Dr. Brodsky was straight to the point addressing all three of my items, did a physical checkup on me, used liquid nitrogen to quickly burn the skin tag and wrote me up to get a full blood panel to be done in-house that day and a seperate visit at a third party for an x-ray for my finger. After proceeding to schedule everything in the computer for me Dr. Brodsky said goodby, shut the door, and the nurse came about 5 minutes after. She led me back the waiting room and told me to write my name on a hanging clipboard to get my blood test drawn and I would be called shortly. Literally within a minute while I was writing my name a bright smiling with her eyes nurse called me. I came to find out her name was Karina (apologies if that's not how she spells her name) the phlebotomist who would be drawing my blood today. She led me back into a small room with another woman there, Stephanie. We all joked around as they prepped me and the vials for extraction so the feeling was light and fun. The manager Dee came in with some banter of her own which was great to be around. Didn't even feel the needle and the vials were all filled in no time. Handled with care and I was done. Given a cup for a urine sample which was completed and I was on my way. Had one last laugh with everyone, said goodby and was on with my day. The entire appointment lasted about 45 minutes from start to finish and was pleasant. My advice is go in with a good attitude and you will get back what you put in. Many thanks to the entire staff at this facility because they were all great in their own way and I will be back. I forgot to tell the doctor about my deviated septum so that will be next review of my second time going there.

CHRONICALLY ILL? HAVE SERIOUS HEALTH PROBLEMS? BEWARE!! Do not allow the gaslighting and…read moremanipulation. Stand up for yourself and reach out to me. Please tell me your story. 100% confidential! Dr. Melgar said she see's nothing, but she refused to listen to my symptoms and that mold had been recently found in my bathroom. She couldn't care less about my serious bilateral ear infection symptoms, nasal sores, reoccuring low-grade fever, ... which had all been going on off and on since our first doctor's visit together a year or more ago. Refused to acknowledge a possibility of environmental involvement. I live far away and it is extremely difficult for me to physically come in person. Especially since they insist on torturing me with hot exam rooms that deteriorate me and make me sick and difficult to drive back home. Because of the temperature issues, I struggled tremendously coming in, in person. She refused to take a sample of the liquid oozing from my worse off left ear, to test, and see what was going on. She told me to see my ENT, after the ENT I had already been referred to and had already seen, sent me back to Dr. Melgar. I will be reviewing that Doctor very soon too. All the ENT cared about was getting me in for as many visits as she possibly could stringing me along taking advantage of my forgetfulness and not addressing everything I came there for. All she cares about is surgeries she does not care about maintaining Medi-Cal patient ENT health. BOTH WASTED MY PHYSICAL VISITS, STRENGTH, ENERGY, AND TIME. BOTH were obviously trying to purposely pushed me into some sort of mental break. It's a game to them guys!! They do not care because they get paid regardless. Unless it's just me that's being targeted? Dr. Melgar and another PCP her at the Mission Beach Clinic also refused to fill out my medical SDG&E form, to help with my medical A/C cold temp control REQUIREMENT and others. Even though it had already been filled out once before by my previous PCP at a different clinic, years ago. I simply needed an updated form, because we had moved into a new home, and I needed to add new health changes and requirements. My condition is degenerative, lifelong, terminal, so I won't be getting better. If your PCP also refuses to fill out your legitimate needed paperwork you're needing to help yourself, please contact me privately. We are more powerful if we stand together. These people are literally getting paid to not do their job jobs and/or torture you unnecessarily.

Ive been showing up @ Cable Street Doc's office for 5-6 years now, and my opinion of DrCava's work…read morewith/for me - and his scrubs-wearing clever gals - Jenny, Julia, Shannon, Star and Abriyah hasn't changed, the whole vibe just gets sweeter and smoother every time I have the pleasure of visiting the Doc .. First of all I love the CLASSIC, NICE Ocean Beach medical offices, and I get any necessary prompt referrals & efficient prescription communications - stat. Dr Cava uses his laptop and immediately clues into the reason for any of my visits - he knows me well, knows well what he's doing, accepts my insurance, and can fit me into his day nearly every time @ an hour's notice if needed - couple times Ive been seen by NP Bennett - and she's great too... Lately I booked a checkup w Dr Cava for this September, of course, I'll be a fine healthy patient w perfect blood pressure --hah-- and I will keep being his loyal patient - thanks for all your care, Doc == I'll try to stay out of the hospital this summer!

Made an appointment here for 2+ weeks out and on the day of, they cancelled on me and said that…read morethey wouldn't be able to reschedule me for another 2+ weeks out. Beyond that, they say they're open from 8a-5p but take a two-hour long lunch from Noon-2p where I couldn't get ahold of anyone. Not sure that they're actually invested in helping their patients as it felt like they really didn't care to help me.

Seriously, Doc Green is awesome. Super cool to deal with, and doesn't try to 'steamroll' you like…read moresome doctors do with their diagnoses. She asks for your input and what you think, which is a pleasant change from the "I'm a doctor and I know everything" approach of some doctors out there. I have yet to run into any negative situations with her or her staff. I've been a patient for going on 13 years now and I can't recommend her enough! She's been pretty flexible about squeezing you in for a visit last minute, but you have to do SOME footwork and call when they open (9AM I think?). They usually have cancellations that early! Overall, dealing with the healthcare system can be a bummer. But my one bright spot in that mess is Dr. Green!! She rocks!

I arrive at this office and ring the bell;the woman inside would not open the door at all it was locked. So I keep trying suddenly a woman comes to the locked door asking me my date of birth ect. Finally very confused and frustrated, I go back to the car where my boyfriend was waiting; I say to him, the woman won't let me in, please come back with me. Well, to mysurprise after she sees my boyfriend the door is opened, she said to me very sarcastically dr. Green is not taking any new clients, she was insensitive and very rude to me . I felt hurt and left. This was not a happy experience for me. I am black and my man is white.i rest my case

I suffered a severe and traumatic slip and fall accident resulting in a broken rib which caused me…read moreto experience excruciating pain, discomfort and immobility. When I went to Optum Care Network's San Diego Sports Medicine's Urgent Care clinic for treatment, I was subjected to multiple iterations of ineffective treatment plans and was verbally harassed when I attempted to get assistance for obtaining a CA DMV Disabled Person Placard. More specifically, the only thing offered by Monica (the Office Manager) was an abundance of vindictive rhetoric couched in audacity, ignorance and false accusations. It was abundantly clear from her delusional behavior that Monica believes that patients exist to serve and support the needs of clinic staff and not the other way around. Instead of hiding patient issues requiring escalations that need to be properly addressed by those in charge of the Medical Group, one should expect that the true SDPMG leadership team would want to properly investigate and make quality improvements to service levels in order to properly resolve such matters. Regrettably, my experience was that the Medical Group leadership allegedly hide in anonymity and enable their incompetent subordinates to make unqualified decisions. This type of behavior may imply that this medical practice is all about making profits at patient's expense and not about patient satisfaction and service level quality.
