This has been one of the most traumatic experiences of my life. I broke my ankle. I told Dr. Krieg…read morethat my main goal was to get back to work as soon as possible. I am on a single income and cannot lose my job. He stated he could do a surgery on Wednesday and that I could be back at work on Monday. On January 14, I had the surgery. Dr. Krieg did not speak with me after the surgery. I have been trying to get in touch with him regarding concerns and pain since January 14 (so for over a week) with no luck. I can only speak with Marissa, the physician assistant. It takes days to get a call back, and when I finally can speak to someone, my concerns are dismissed and I'm told that people don't usually have questions after surgery. I am still not back at work because the office will not fill out the forms I gave them from my office that would authorize a return to work. My pain medication ran out Monday. Dr. Krieg authorized a refill, but the staff will not complete a pre-authorization to allow my insurance to cover it, despite me telling them I'm in pain to the point I can't sleep or function normally. I feel completely dehumanized by this whole experience. I agreed to surgery in the hopes that I could return to work. Now, I'm in more pain than I was before the surgery. I can't get in contact with Dr. Krieg or anyone who is willing to address my concerns. I feel completely dehumanized that I had a serious surgery which I am experiencing side effects from. I don't know what happened in my own body.

OK so my experience with this office over the last 5+ years has been excellent. Stephanie, the PA…read morethere is absolutely the very best I have ever been to in the last 6 decades. She is awesome. Patient, listens and is so helpful. The staff has been good to me, and they have a sense of humor. They answer the phone, which is more than other offices, based on reviews I have read. They are also very responsive to pharmacy calls, or refill needs. I really like this office and the folks who work there. HOWEVER, my problem now is that I have cancer and the place PrimeCare uses for cancer treatment is the WORST. For that reason alone I may have to move to another group. But if not for that, I am truly appreciate of the great care I have received here.

When I first went to see him for another issue, he noticed a small growth on my eyebrow and he immediately scheduled a removal and a biopsy.

I hate leaving a poor review for Dr. Italiano, because he's a decent doctor, but his staff is…read morebeyond incompetent. I don't think I've ever physically gone into their office, or emailed with their office, and come out of the experience with an answer or a solution. I've dealt with MANY frustrating messages back and forth with his staff (he rarely messages patients) who hardly even perform their jobs at a bare minimum- they'll respond to messages within 48 hours, but they will not help you in any way unless you make an appointment, which brings in money for their office. One example is that I had a battery of labs completed to address abdominal discomfort I was having- and Dr. Italiano emailed me saying everything looked great, regardless of multiple readings being out of the "normal" range. I specifically pointed this out to him, and his staff responded saying if I wanted to address a new concern I'd have to schedule an appointment. A couple days ago I was asking them for help viewing a form they had sent me through their app, they responded that I had to view it in "the portal", and when I asked them what/where this "portal" was (in the app or somewhere else), they messaged me back saying they could no longer assist me and if I wanted anything I had to call their records department (who have also proven to be completely incompetent in the past). This office drops the ball in every way, and they only care about making money off office visits. They do not care about you or your health, and only want to line their pockets with the money your insurance provider pays out for endless office visits. I will absolutely be changing my PCM, because I'm so tired of dealing with this staff.

Where do I begin? I was 21 weeks pregnant w/ spotting and cramps (which were actually…read morecontractions). "Dr." Elfelt saw me in his office 5 hours after I called. He talked to me for 5 min., said I had a bladder infection, and sent me home with antibiotics. He seemed annoyed that he had to see me at the last minute, and literally had one foot out the exam room door as I was still asking questions. He didn't monitor for contractions or do an ultrasound, both which are simple and quick to do. I ended up in full-blown labor and gave birth to my son at 21 weeks gestation. He did not make it. Find an ob/gyn who will listen to you and take you seriously. (See my other reviews) I gave him one star only because this website would not let me leave it blank.

I came for the first time to initiate care and as someone who has a fear of doctor's offices, I was…read moresurprisingly calm here! I was seen by Dr Nancy Chang & absolutely loved her! She is so sweet and kind. The nurse that helped me before the doctor came in, I believe her name was Daisy (I could be wrong, but I hope I'm not) was EXCELLENT! She made me feel so comfortable and safe. I've had bad experiences at doctor's offices from a child to adult, so my fear of them causes me to have major anxiety before any appointment. But after speaking with not only Daisy & Dr Chang, but the front desk women too, I felt so at ease! Since I was a new patient I did have to call prior to get set up, which was a quick and easy process with whomever the man was that helped me. The inside of the building is big & extremely clean with plenty of seating. I would recommend this office to anyone, & definitely recommend Dr Nancy Chang & her staff!

Roy Johnson and the admins party in the back while you wait and wait in a cold examination room…read more This review is based on my own personal experience. I no longer use this doctor because I question the quality of service provided. 20 reasons to avoid this Doctor. 1 - You will show up on time, they will always be running late. 2 - Once you do get sent back to the examination room you will wail some more. 3 - While waiting, you will hear awkward silence then boisterous laughter. Awkward Silence, then boisterous laughter again...What are they doing?? *checking watch, it's been 20 minutes) 4- Still waiting. More laughter, and more cackling. *checking watch, it's been 40 minutes. 5 - Too bad they didn't check my blood pressure now! *checking watch, it's been 45 minutes in this examination room. 6 - Doctor comes in, no chart, asks me why I'm there. I tell him that I would like my cholesterol checked. 7 - Doctor pulls out yellow pad and draws a family tree and asks me a bunch of questions about my parents. He says that I need to get a blood test. Wow, all that waiting for a five minute appointment. 8 - Gave blood, schedule follow up in a few days. 9 - Get a call the next day notifying me that the blood sample was damaged in transit.. WTF? How does this happen? 10 - Come back to give more blood. Takes forever to have that done. 11 - On time for the followup appointment - back to waiting. 12 - Sent back to Examination room - Wait. Listening to another round of laughter and cackling in the back room. This is REALLY starting to piss me off. 13 - *checking watch* it's been 40 minutes yet again. I'm seriously going to walk out NOW. 14 - Doctor comes in on cue...Hmmm 15 - Doctor has no chart, asks me why I'm there, PULLS OUT THE YELLOW PAD AND STARTS WRITING DOWN THE FAMILY TREE AGAIN. I WAS JUST THERE A FEW DAYS AGO!!! 16 - Doctor leaves to get blood results. Was only a ten minute wait this time. 17 - Doctor says I have high cholesterol. Dismisses the fact that both of my parents have cholesterol issues and use medication as part of the treatment plan. Doc Johnson says go to the Heart Foundation web page and follow their Cholesterol reducing diet.. WTF?!?! You outsource your own responsibility to some free website? You don't even have the URL on hand, or any printed literature! All you say is " find it yourself". 18 - Found New Doctor instead. - Don't wait as long in examination room. 19 - New doctor spends time with me, has my chart, goes over treatment plans. Recommends D.E.M. ( Diet, Exercise, and medication). gives me a ton of useful information. 20 - Next visit - Cholesterol way down.. 21 - I know I said top 20, but I had to deal with a billing issue with Doc Johnson.. Ugh...Boo Hissss.

The laid back feel of this country office may be strange for some, but it is a way of life for most of us in Valley Center. That's why we live here. When I had the unfortunate opportunity to contract the H1N1 virus however, everything became very serious. I called him complaining that I couldn't breath, and that was the end of the jokes and chit-chat. Never saw him so serious. He managed to get me into the hospital and made sure I had the best of the best at Palomar. I spent 5 days in the hospital sick as a dog, but Dr. Johnson visited me daily and made sure I had the best of care. Dr. Johnson truly loves his job, and it shows. I've seen him after a 30 hour shift at the hospital then came in to see his local patience. Dr. Johnson has worked ER for decades at Palomar Hospital and his resources and respect with the hospitals is unparalleled. Working ER for decades I'm sure he's seen it all. I just hope he never retires and I have to find another doctor.
