Making appointments were a breeze, and the receptionists and nurses were all happy and polite. Dr. Donaldson was a caring, straight-forward doctor who completely fixed my nose with septorhinoplasty. I was riddled with anxiety and he put me at ease, answered all my questions and I felt comfortable in his care. I am providing pictures so you can see for yourself. Oh, and the procedure itself was a breeze too. In and out of the hospital and the recovery was speedy. My pain level never surpassed a 3 out of 10. 10/10 experience. I would recommend him to all my loved ones.

Thankfully Hillcrest ENT had a cancellation and was able to get me in for care quickly. The appointment was with Dr Driskill but I was seen by Nurse Practitioner Amanda, who was amazing. She diagnosed the issue and clearly explained what was happening, why it was being so stubborn, lined out treatment, and gave me some great advice to reduce my surfers ear issue that she noticed. The ear is much better, feeling 100% better 24 hours later. I now have an ENT specialist in San Diego. Thank you Amanda!

If there is this sort of incompetence for a new patient, imagine what it's like for the established patients! Your office staff could use an evaluation, Dr. Miya. They're costing you business and making your office look really bad. If anyone in this office cares (which I highly doubt), the call and appointment were made on Wednesday May 3rd at 11:30 AM.

Dr Bush would not continue with my hearing test because I didn't bring my past hearing test records, which I was NOT told were mandatory for my visit. He spoke maybe 5 words to me the entire time I was there and that was "let's go to this room". He told the nurse to have me come back for another appt with those records and left. When I asked the nurse if we could at least discuss why I came in, he was already on to another patient. I called 3 times asking for my copay back because nothing happened in my appt and I never heard back from them. I filed a grievance with my insurance. This place is mining copays and insurance.

Let me start by saying that Dr. Gilani herself was fantastic. I had a consultation with her and…read moreshe was pleasant, attentive, and answered all of my questions. During the consultation, she did a diagnostic endoscope. Everything seemed straightforward until I got the bill. The endoscope cost $3,000 and was higher than at other locations because this building is new. I called the billing department to discuss this and was told that there was nothing they would do. I was never told that the endoscope was not part of the consultation and when I brought this up to the billing office, they told me that I should have called my insurance to get an estimate before the procedure. tl;dr - Dr. Gilani herself is great, but you will get charged more because she works in a nice new building. And make sure you don't agree to anything other than a conversation without getting an estimate first.

I've never had any trouble getting an appointment relatively quickly. Wait times are not long in my experience. Minuses: Some things he does not seem to be super knowledgeable on, that in my mind a PCP should be solidly up on. For example, vaccinations. I let him know I'd like to get up to date with vaccinations and he insisted that adults don't need them. Suspecting that this was not altogether correct, I went to CVS Minute Clinic and they were able to provide me with a CDC list and give the boosters and vaccinations that have become standard since I was born (Hep B, A).I realize that travel vaccinations are a totally different ballgame, but with basic childhood vaccinations I would think he'd be in the know. I get the impression that retirement is near and that he may not be as sharp as he once was, although I have been seeing him for only a couple of years. I don't know that I would return to him if I were having a serious ailment as some of the things he's said have sounded off (as in, contrary to everything other doctors & the internet have told me) but for regular checkups he has always seemed very thorough and pleasant!

I've been blown-away-disturbed by how broken the systems at Perlman Clinic are:…read more - My PCP put in a referral over three weeks ago for something my insurance needs to approve, and I just found out it literally hasn't left the clinic to go to my insurance yet. She said they had a backlog of 5,000 uprocessed referrals. I can't even fathom what this would mean my healthcare needs were dire. - My PCP turned off my ability to message her after one message. - Recently I showed up for a dermatology appointment and, after disrobing and waiting, I was told I couldn't be seen that day because I had an endocrinology appointment earlier that day, completely wasting hours of my time. Yet it was someone within Perlman Clinic who had booked both appointments for me. - They have ZERO holistic options. The ONLY PCP I could find with a holistic (ie TRULY "integrative") background was fully booked out with no option for a waitlist. - The first PCP I tried with them, when I asked her "do you trust me to know my own body" looked me straight in the eye and, deadpan, said "No." Then she proceeded to get very agitated. - A recent referral was denied by my insurance and they claimed they had no interest in disputing it. - A doctor I waited a month to get in to see cancelled two hours before with no reason or apology, and bumped me right to the back of the line again, forcing me to wait another month to see her. - The endocrinologist I've been working with clearly has zero real knowledge. My research and conversation with functional doctors has shown me that if I flat out listened to her, it could be dangerous for my health. - My insurance denied thousands upon thousands of dollars worth of claims because they were incorrectly submitted. - The clinics emulate complete lack of health. Everyone who works there looks and feels so unhappy and unhealthy. I have trouble understanding how these are the people we should be counting on for our health? - As if this list weren't long enough, there's so much more beyond this - all WAY too long to list here. Update: After posting this review, I received a phone call from someone who pretended to care. But it was crystal clear in their speech that they cared ZERO. Every time I have expressed concern I've been met with inauthentic, canned speech (poorly) designed to suppress people.

My first impression when entering the office was not good. The receptionist looked like he just…read morerolled out of bed and not at all like a professional in a doctors office. The sub par trend continued when I met Dr Allen. He seamed uninterested and mostly annoyed that he was talking with me. After asking only a few questions he ordered a blood and urine test, which I did. I was told I would hear back from them with the results in 3-5 days. After 7 days and not hearing from them I called them only to get a voice mail box to leave a message. The next day I get a call back to say they used the wrong form to send the test in and they have to redo it can I come back. I was there in 2 hours to see the same sloppy guy behind the counter. I was told to go pee in a cup again. This time when I put the cup back in receptacle, there was another patients full cup still in there waiting to be received. GROSS. Once again a week and half later I have not heard from them. I called and was forced to leave a message again, two days has gone by and I still have not heard back from them. I am unimpressed, and have no confidence in the doctor or his staff. I will not be going back nor will I recommend them to anyone else.

After struggling to get doctors to take me seriously about a medical issue with family history, Dr. J is the first doctor to truly hear me out and arrange the testing I needed. She has done so on very large issues as well as minor. She is kind, quick, and so knowledgable and helpful. In the very few instances I have questioned her (really just to make sure I understood what she meant), she *immediately* provided recommendations/referrals for me to get a second opinion if I would like- her first goal is ALWAYS to make sure I get the care I need and am able to address my medical concerns how I see fit. Referrals can take awhile to come through, but calls on my end to the insurance always reveal the problem is with the insurance provider lagging. My recommendation is to communicate via MyChart, which she and Dr. Barbara do a wonderful job of corresponding on regarding appointments, online virtual visits, and addressing general questions. Dr. J has been the primary care doctor I've ever had. I would highly reccomend seeing her!
