This is an update to a review I left back in January 2026. I appreciated that Dr. Willis reached…read moreout a number of times to see how they could make this right with me. Considering I still have health concerns that I'd like to correct I felt he provided a sincere concern on how to rectify the situation. As a business owner myself that was is important to me. I am willing to go along with the program designed for me (which is much different than the first time around). I cannot say if it is going to make a difference since it's only been a week. Health issues can be very complex and achieving the desired results can and usually does take many paths. I encourage anyone seeking optimal health to at least talk with AFM with their concerns and ask the honest questions and do the research on understanding your individual health concerns. Thank you Dr. Willis for responding to my previous review.

Advanced Functional Medicine San Diego takes a truly holistic and personalized approach to health…read morethat goes far beyond traditional medicine. Instead of simply treating symptoms, they focus on understanding the root causes of what your body is experiencing. Through comprehensive and rigorous testing, you gain real insight into how your body is functioning, where your limitations may be, and what imbalances might be affecting your overall health. What impressed me most is how Sara took the time to review the results in detail and develop a clear, individualized plan designed to restore balance and bring your body back to optimal health. Their approach combines science, nutrition, and lifestyle strategies in a way that feels thoughtful, thorough, and empowering. If you're looking for a proactive and holistic path to improving your health--one that actually helps you understand your body rather than just mask symptoms--I highly recommend Advanced Functional Medicine San Diego.

I am a very difficult patient and have built an unfortunate distrust of medical practitioners over the years. I was also in pretty bad health the day I arrived in his office.

She…read moreoften recommends lifestyle and natural remedies where possible, though she does prescribe medications, too - definitely a more holistic approach than traditional physicians. She's one of the few osteopaths that still does osteopathic manipulation therapy (OMT). She has been so supportive of me as I recover from an injury. Dr. Myers also did not push SDSM's PT service. 5 stars for Dr. Myers. I'd call the staff average. Being nice to them does help. Their billing department and referral departments could use some work, though. I got overcharged, and it took them 5 months to resolve what should have been very simple. Meanwhile, the referral department can be very slooooow, and inflexible. I had requested a different provider, and my PCP agreed to the change. The referral department would not accept the substitution, claiming the doctor did not send them an official referral request. Of course, I don't find this out until after several months after I started with my provider that we didn't have a "legitimate" referral. I still recommend them, but with those caveats.

Luckily, I was able to switch over to Dr. Koretoff's panel. Dr. Koretoff is one of the best providers I've ever had. He truly cares about his patients and listens to them. He's responsive to my questions and is willing to put in the time and effort to get the referrals or medications in that I need. I've had some serious health issues and know my body. I appreciate that Dr. Koretoff respects my concerns and refers me to a specialist when my medical history and/or symptoms warrant doing so. It's clear that he wants his patients to be healthy and have the best quality of life possible (even if it means having to engage in a prior authorization fight with an insurance company to do so. Additionally, the staff here - from x-ray tech to clinic staff - are friendly and treat me with respect. Thank you for keeping me healthy!

For ppl like US with these issues on our health, expects the charity reflection as the Drs visits are the primary expectations for this sense to live out our hopes to be respected and admired. Dr Lai's Office is far from the Walk In process at the hospital when things are really serious at the mid to high level, Dr Lai is a lower level of a Dr of Medicine, their main concern is to be judgmental for the referrals, ER emergency transfer, and the scams of fraud on relatives using their elders of mischievous reasons only they are not aware of , etc. They get calls all the time on Srs missing their meds so the judgmental part is a professional approach to many as they do this to me insuring my twin junkie not there, lol.. I can only expect this no matter how many years I have to see him for I rather complain about my overall health status than to look for an escape route to blame and bicker towards the public and become an online bigot for not getting what I want and expect. I gave them 3 stars and like many would like relations a bit better but best to always follow up of issues or concerns they will and overlook due to their jobs being the way it is of the Office being a low urgent matter regarding medicines and expected of the low numbers of patients they serve , which helps a lot for not having to wait too long as I did for 3 hours as a walk in but expected in any other clinic so best to always plan ahead to call in and schedule. If you live near , Dr Lai is very convenient for this part I love about the Office as priority #1

It took 6 months to get the appointment and another 3 to have the surgery but I'm beyond happy with Dr Varon. She is a very pleasant person and a very competent doctor, in and out of surgery. I highly recommend her. She is very prompt with her communication and follow-up, and was always in a good mood with a nice reassuring smile every time I saw her. Most importantly for me, she listened to what was important to me and shaped the treatment plan accordingly. It's odd for me to provide a medical review but I do so in the hope Dr Varon can help you. She's truly fantastic. Post surgery follow up was also stellar and resulted in good referrals for me too. Thank you Dr Varon.
