Ive gotten no where in the last 2 years, I keep getting the run around with referrals, refills for meds, and appointments. I haven't gotten the help I need.

Most dr visits anywhere would freak him out and he can't handle waiting too long. At Dr Padilla's they have always been very patient & understanding with his needs. From the medical assistant to the practitioners. They have made what could be very stressful visits actually very pleasant. The only negative I have is that they Have fees for a lot of things I didn't think about. Needed some insurance papers filled out. $15 fee Follow-up phone call to see how kiddo was doing..fee( call was less than 5 mins) but that might just be our insurance not sure we have tricare. If it weren't for how awesome the staff if I would reconsider them and also my kiddo barely needs to see them aside from the usual check up.

I can't put the pieces together here from Yelp on if that's true or not but if he's still practicing med I want to go back to seeing him. I love this doctor like my own grandpa. He saw me from childhood, into my teenager years, depression, and into adulthood. I'm moving back to San Diego soon and can't wait to visit this office again. Even the ladies working his reception desk saw me grow up. It's like a little family. Dr.Berger cares and remembers previous experiences you've had as well. Love him dearly.

Doctor never sees me just prescribes medication or sends me to do labs never sees me. It's only 2 time I ever seen the lady. Office manager made some comments she feels she owns the place. Basically she said to find another doctor cause I was annoyed with them and gave them attitude. I only treat people the way the Treat me. She was being an asshole who thinks she is superior than me. Regret not changing Doctors sooner.

Unfortunately I never got past the phone call to the office. The woman answering the phone told me…read moreI could make an appointment because I'd never been there . . .huh? She was abrupt and unwelcoming. She let me know the doctor was retiring at the end of the year. It would be nice if they would just post that online and say that he isn't seeing new patients.

I have had Dr Dabo as my pcp for about a year now. Everything seemed fine until I started getting…read moremigraines. Dr Dabo began by prescribing me what I later found out to be children's doses of migraine medication. To no surprise they didn't work. He then prescribed me Valium and dilaudid. My pharmacist and I agreed these were not appropriate. So I requested alternate meds because I didn't want to take benzodiazepines or opioids to treat my migraines. His response was 3 more Valium prescriptions... He then gave me a referral to neurology. I called 2-3 times a week to check on my referral because I was still experiencing daily migraines. I ended up picking it up in person and dropping it off myself. On the paperwork I can see that they've been sending it to the wrong fax number after I tried to give them the correct one multiple times. 1 month of migraines later and my neurologist tells me I need an adults dose of my medication and to ask Dr Dabo to update the prescription. He refused and told me to ask her for anything I need. Not to mention he is impossible to get a hold of because the poor acupuncturist answers all of his phone calls and leaves messages for him that he doesn't respond to. Skip this "Doctor"

My family has been going to Dr. Shachar for maybe 15-20 years. She was my father's doctor-he liked…read moreher very much- and when I suggested we try to find a more practical office for a wheelchair as my dad was a new amputee he absolutely refused. I personally left Dr. Shachar because I found a doctor who I used in the past that I was happy with and re-established a relationship with. My father passed and Dr. Shachar called and offered her condolences. Dr. Shachar is not the issue here. At least not for me. Our family has not had any bad medicine from her. Her treatment plans are reasonable. She is kind. The problem is her staff. And I am only writing this negative review in the hopes that this kind and great doctor will consider the way her staff treats her patients. Her staff has always been rude, condescending, haughty. As I mentioned, my mother and father have been going to her for over a decade, and after so much time of a doctor patient relationship you would think there would be some kind of recognition of that fact. I work in an emergency animal hospital. I am a senior receptionist. I have dealt with my clients from the day they got there kitten or puppy to the day where we sadly have to choose peace over a poor quality of life. Now if one day my client calls me to tell me his poodles breath is getting stinkier by the day, it's been going on for awhile, and needs to be seen, I don't tell the 80 year old man he had an appointment, that was scheduled a while ago and well obviously it got cancelled. My soonest is on this day. He can't make it. Okay, let's try this date. He can't make it. 1 more try, he can't do it. Frustrating for parties. I get it. If the older man's son says if he can find another provider for care would the records get there quickly? I WOULD ABSOLUTELY NOT TELL THE PERSON ON THE PHONE OH YES DEFINITELY. SO SHE ISN'T GOING TO BE A PATIENT HERE ANYMORE CORRECT? This receptionist sounded like she was so happy to be rid of my mom as a patient. A long time patient. For my regular long time clients there's a certain bond we have. I have had to walk my clients, most of them I call friends, off the ledge about there dogs diarrhea not killing them and we'll get them in. I will find the owner of the practice or her 2 associate vets and ask them, hey, can one of you squeeze so and so in on your earliest convenience. I would do that for the 80 year old man as well. And these are pets (which many call there fur babies). Dr. Shachars staff is just very quick to shoo away her human patients of 15 years at the drop of a hat. Lucky for these rude insensitive mouthy employees they can act however they want over the phone. A lot of people don't appreciate the poor treatment of their elderly relatives. My mother has verbally told Dr. Shachar during an appointment how her front staff treated her badly. I do not know if Dr. Shachar does not care or just condones the poor treatment of her patients. I would like to find my mother a new PCP, but like my father, my mother said no, she really likes Dr. Shachar and that's her doctor and not mine. In the past years I have also been treated poorly and spoken down to by these young ladies and have had to refrain from becoming very ghetto. Only for the sake of my parents and Dr. Shachar do I keep my mouth shut. But I can handle myself. My poor deceased father and 80 year old mother cannot. I have just my mama left and Dr. Shachar, C'mon, you have always been there for our family. Please do not allow your front staff girls to be so rude. This in no way reflects my mother's feelings.

Now only seeing HIV patients. Dr. Caperna dropped all his previous patients via a form letter with…read moreno warning or heads up to start looking for a new PCP. I too received the termination of care letter after over a decade with Dr. Caperna. As you can see from my prior review, I really liked Dr. Caperna, but the way his change of practice was handled was very poor. Dropping patients with no warning, with no sign of compassion about the situation you're putting them in, is pretty shabby

Dr Caperna is a DICK with a "God Complex" with absolutely NO PATIENCE or "Bedside manner"…read more Instead of being able to communicate, he left the room, right in the middle of our interaction, and I was left wondering why. He comes back in about 5 minutes later only for him to show that he was frustrated interacting with me... Rather than give me a chance 'do better' or apologize, or tell me what the problem was, he again threatened to leave me in the room again by myself, as if I were a child that needed a "time out". WHAT AN ASSHOLE. If this guy has no ability to "handle" a wide variety of personalities or types of people from the community, WHAT KIND OF PATIENCE does he have for "medical practice?" I simply walked out... what a shame... I was putting all my hope in him, as I felt fragile, dealing with an ongoing issue I'd been suffering from for few years now...and he came highly recommended. SO DEEPLY DISAPPOINTED. I was so nervous just to be there, challenging the diagnosis, or lack there of from another doctor... I never expected this treatment on top of the emotional and physical pain I came in there with... He either has a sever lack of ability to listen and communicate, or all this was a rude ploy to get me out of there because he didn't really want me as a new patient... either way I wish he could have just told me so, rather than have me go through all of this turmoil. I'm glad his true colors come out on the 1st appointment and not months into it. It's a shame doctors forget they are there to help people. --Congratulations, Dr. Caperna, you earned yourself my DICKHEAD AWARD, earned in less than 10 minutes. FOLLOW-UP: The person that referred Dr Caperna to me told me that Dr Caperna apologized to HIM for "things not working out". IF DR CAPERNA WAS AN HONEST PERSON AND SINCERE, HE WOULD HAVE APOLOGIZED TO ME...
