I wanted to share my experience in case it helps others…read more I was referred by a friend who also invited me to a cosmetic event that was scheduled for later in the month. I wanted to look more refreshed for another event I had planned earlier in the week and so I decided to go in early for botox. I initially had a positive first impression of this office. The doctor is a family physician who also offers cosmetic treatments like Botox and lasers. I came in specifically for Botox, and although he recommended more units than I usually receive for my crow's feet area, I agreed, trusting his judgment and hoping for good results. He even asked me to return in two weeks for a follow-up touch-up. Unfortunately, within days, I noticed no improvement at all in my crow's feet. I tried calling the office multiple times and received no response. I eventually went in person to have him evaluate the results. When I showed him the issue, he told me "not to smile so hard," which was surprising especially since during my appointment, the medical assistant had encouraged me to smile very hard for photos. At my two-week follow-up, I was expecting a touch-up as discussed. Instead, he recommended doubling the amount of Botox, and when I asked if I would be charged again, he said yes. This was concerning, as I have never needed that much product before, and my regular provider achieves effective results at a much lower cost. While he attempted to justify this with scientific explanations, my experience suggested that technique and anatomical precision, both critical in Botox, may have been lacking, rather than the amount used. What was most disappointing was that after this entire experience, there was no effort to resolve the issue or stand behind the results. Instead, I immediately received a reminder text invitation to a cosmetic event promoting additional services and products. Given the outcome of my treatment, this felt dismissive and a lack of professionalism and patient care. Overall, I left feeling disappointed with the results, communication, and handling of concerns. I would not recommend this doctor, especially for cosmetic procedures where experience, technique, and ethical standards are essential.

In 2021 I had a reasonably good experience during my first meeting and subsequent physical exam,…read morealthough Dr. Perez was rather stressed throughout. I gave him the benefit of the doubt since he runs his own practice and is only a few blocks from our home. So Dr. Perez became my primary physician for my health insurance. In 2022 Dr. Perez's office sent several reminders for my annual physical which I needed to schedule. The reason for this review is on my third visit in late 2022, I came in at 8:30am due to a very painful hand with stiches. AFTER paying for his services, discussing the 2022 physical I still needed with his friendly assistant, and then waiting ~30 minutes in increasing pain. Dr. Perez refused to help me with what was a spreading hand infection - I needed antibiotics immediately! After he refused to even look at my hand - AFTER I had paid and waited & told him how much pain I was in - I subsequently spent hours driving around looking for an urgent care that FINALLY give me the antibiotics I really needed. At this point I had puss coming out from between the stitches and my hand was burning red. Healthtopia in Leucadia came through for me! So why did Dr. Perez refuse to even look at my infected hand and provide any help (although I urgently needed antibiotics for the infection) AFTER I had already paid and met with his assitant... Because he was still unhappy ( a year later...) with his interactions and reaction with my wife during the very stressful time of COVID. I feel this doctor is not following the basic fundamental medical Hippocratic oath, "first, do no harm". When I had a spreading infection in my hand (it was burning red and puss was coming out of the stitches) and he choose to focus on his personal issues he had with my wife (from a year ago!) instead of my urgent health problem in front of him. Lastly, he said I was using him to get a quick appointment, which he did not appreciate and and another reason he would not help me with my infected hand.

Dr. Kakimoto is thorough, always takes her time to explain things and patiently answers any questions I have. I never felt rushed, quite the opposite. It is indeed challenging to schedule an appointment within a reasonably short amount of time with any of the MDs, I attribute that to the general shortage in MDs and nothing specific to Dr. Kakimoto. She was always there for me when I specifically asked to be seen by her for more critical (in my opinion) issues. Thank you Dr. Kakimoto!!!

Really? What doctor tells this to a patient? Blood work ordered but no focus on my leg pain. No X-ray or MRI offered. She said if I still felt sick to go to ER? Second time meeting with her. She was once again dismissive, somewhat rude, showing no empathy or compassion. I felt like I was taking up her time in her busy day. She never was able to help me (with pain in left leg, hip area). She took all I said personally and defensive. Aren't doctors supposed to be trained or educated to deal with patients under pain? Again, No regard to pain I was having. No X-ray or MRI was offered. I had to ask for a physical therapy referral via online. I felt like I was diagnosing myself. She told me she didn't need new patients if I left and that she was one of the partners. Wow. Doctors need CARE model training or a refresher course if they want to keep their patients. She had the worst medical professional manners. Her words were just plain mean. No attempt on her part to create a relationship with a new patient. Very disappointing.

Another two women came in and one was called in first, then the guy and then a lady that walked in five minutes ago gets called in. WTH? And this is only one experience. If you complain the female staff gets nasty and vindictive. The doc does nothing. I really think this totally is inappropriate. So we asked and were told there are two docs here but not specifically if those people that came in are attached to which doc. The girl who handled us puts all calls on hold while she types away and sings to herself and either then answers the call on hold or they hang up. Who knows. If my 100% disabled vet spouse wasn't on so many meds AND on dialysis, I would find another doc. I hate how the medical industry gets people over a barrel like this!!

And at the same time I was feeling frustrated and upset with my current health situation. I was seeing practitioners and even specialist and getting no answers. So, I decided to go and make an appointment with Dr. M and have been seeing her for over a year and a half now. She is amazing! Her and her assistant Sunny are warm and welcoming and make you truly feel like you are important to them. You feel like you are being heard and every ailment matters. Not only do you feel like you are finally being understood by a knowledgable professional, Dr. Maraio spends a good amount of time with you finding the root causes. She educates you and helps you have a better grasp on what your body is going through and how to alleviate the pain and stressors. For the first time I finally understood what my body and mind needed and how to take important steps towards optimal health. I completely contribute it to Dr. M and her guidance and vast knowledge. Dr. Maraio has not only been a doctor diagnosing me, but a mentor and a support system that has completely changed my life. If you are looking for answers or just better health, I highly recommend Dr. Maraio (trust me- I recommend her to everyone I come in contact with that just doesn't feel 'right' anymore). And to be honest... I think I cried my first couple of appointments because someone finally understood and didn't just tell me that I was getting older. I am so grateful I found Dr. Maraio and you will as well!

Within the last few months, I feel like I've seen a different side of her and her office. And it's not positive. I'm a self-pay patient and have been since the beginning of my time with Doctor Olafson. I've stated it in every visit I've had with her. Recently, she keeps telling me that my prescription isn't "covered" and neglected to do her research when ordering blood tests, making sure I could afford them. Although I made a following appointment with her last year for this current year, her office asked me whether or not I had made an annual appointment for a follow up and I had to tell them, that yes, I did. So, somewhere, someone isn't doing their job and I am falling through the cracks. I no longer feel heard or that I matter to Doctor Olafson and her staff. I will be looking elsewhere for care.

We joined Dr. Edwards' World of Wellness direct primary care medical practice because we wanted a…read moreprimary care doctor relationship outside the typical insurance driven model. Specifically, we wanted a doctor-patient relationship where we could really get to know and trust our doctor, and where we felt comfortable unpacking all of the issues affecting our health. Here's an example of the care she's provided to me: I was dirt biking with my adult son in December 2020 when I had an unplanned, violent dismount into a rocky berm. After returning home, I wanted to crawl in bed and not move. My wife, however, contacted Dr. Edwards who immediately evaluated my condition via a video call. That's right, Dr. Edwards completed an evaluation on a Saturday afternoon within minutes of me crawling into bed! Dr. Edwards persuaded your hardheaded reviewer that I needed to get to an ER, ASAP. She then called two hospitals to find the best facility to provide the proper diagnostic testing and care. When I showed up, the attending physician was expecting me, and the appropriate diagnostic tests were promptly performed. As it turned out, I suffered significant internal injuries that subsequently required transfer to a San Diego level 1 trauma hospital. The day after my discharge, Dr. Edwards came to our home to check on me. That's right, she made a house call!! While I'm sure the medical staff at the hospital gave me adequate post discharge instructions, there's nothing like having your trusted doctor explain your injuries and the importance of completing the proscribed recovery regime. Without having an established and trusting relationship with Dr. Edwards, my stubbornness could have resulted in a very poor outcome for me and my family. Thank you, Dr. Edwards, for your prompt and effective care that made a huge difference for me! I strongly recommend you contact Dr. Edwards so you too can experience a doctor-patient relationship almost unheard of in today's insurance driven medical care environment.
