Beware all Neighborhood Healthcare clinics prospective patients. Unless it's the flu, or you're…read moregoing in for a Covid vaccine, they're not going to help you. They would likely just give you hydroxyzine and send you on your way, regardless.
I am a middle-aged woman who's been living a disability life for almost 10 years, thanks to a hospitals negligence and a hugely detrimental misdiagnosis... Unfortunately, it led to me to move here to California, and I have attempted to work with several completely clueless clinicians at NHC. I can literally tell you what they will diagnose you with, and what they will prescribe you, if you will simply tell me your symptoms. It's that bad.
I saw Dr. Wilson (Maritza) on July 8, 2023 in Valley Center. (https://youtube.com/shorts/K0sxTADx3l8?si=4hzsa8Pg0Rmf73Ha). My husband went with me. We were having a casual conversation, until suddenly, the doctors personality switched on me, as if she, herself, had borderline personality disorder, which used to be known as multiple personalities. If you are chronically ill, you will know exactly what I'm talking about. This woman talked to me as if I were a dog, until I sat up off the table, and I looked at her, eye to eye, to remind her that I was a human being. And then, after such, I get a letter like this from your clinic??? (See the attachment).
Let me inform you Neighborhood Healthcare, you might blackball me with other physicians and/or surgeons, through your referral process, which will include a copy of your office notes, which will include your opinion of me. What it won't include, will be my opinion of you, and my experiences within your clinics. So I'm going to put it here on Yelp.
You might think I care that much about life, or that my knees are shaking about not getting the referrals in time... But it's because I've been dealing with people like you, day, in, and day out, for close to two decades. I'm only 45. I feel shame for having worked in the medical/hospital/educational establishments.
Any person/people who is/are dealing with a chronic illness(es), or who have ever been very ill, or misdiagnosed, knows exactly what I'm talking about, when I say Neighborhood Healthcare is full of Gaslighters. The thing about Dr. Maritza Wilson, is that when I sat up, and she looked me in my eyes, all I could see was fear on her face, but the look of remorse in her eye's, did not exist. She had a totally flat affect. There wasn't a tear to be found. It was just the same old, "well I'm sorry you feel that way." No; you are not. I've been doing this for years. I did this professionally, long before I dealt with people like her, personally. I'm happy to continue to put the rest of it out here.
Neighborhood Healthcare, you are not God. You can smear my name all over San Diego County. I do not care. Your entire clinic can insinuate that it is me, but I have nothing but time and the plethora of data to prove that you missed diagnosed me on multiple occasions. I can show the ways in which you Gaslite me and which doctors did so.
And no matter what you tell me, I've been told that I was wrong by a multitude of, "elite specialists, physicians, and clinicians," and I've been right about every diagnosis that your clinic has missed thus far. Many of them very detrimental, like ankylosing spondylosis and psoriatic arthritis. Or how about a painfully sickening allergic reaction to a medication prescribed by Dr. Margaret Chen in Escondido at Neighborhood Healthcare? My allergist had to figure out what I was allergic to, because the doctor prescribing the medication to me, acted completely clueless. Dr. Margaret Chen, told me it was just purple veins in my legs. How insightful. I'm really glad my allergist figured it out, prior to those internal blisters reaching my thighs.
How about Dr. Gabriel Becerra humiliating me, and standing over me, in his clinic with no one else in there except me and him. He came from around his desk, standing over me, and, pointing down at me, as he also barked orders at me. He wanted to argue with me about which medications I "was going to take" in which ones I knew I should not take, and that I had taken before. He felt he knew better than I, and yet he might be a psychiatrist...he has never lived in my skin. And I, "doctor,", do have some insight into my own health care needs. You, are also not a dictator. I you are a doctor.
How about Laura Caloca, PhD? She tried to get me to meditate and practice mindfulness over the matter of ankylosing spondylosis, which every single clinician at Neighborhood Healthcare Escondido, tried to talk me out of having. Not one of you believed me when I told you something was seriously wrong. I went through surgery after surgery, and I continue to, without the assistance of a decent PCP or therapist.
