    I am an Army War Gulf War Veteran, and this clinic is by far the best i've ever visited. La Jolla is good as well, but this location is very personable and they do a great job. Kudos to Jesse as the VSO, Brian Drew in Mental Health, Natalie Garcia as my primary! Would like to thank all the staff there but i don't know everyone's names! lol I always feel respected as a veteran and well taken care of at this clinic. Thank you for your support! #goarmy

    I just want to update my review of the VA clinic in Oceanside. Even with covid, they have given my husband excellent care. I am grateful for the kindness, cleanliness and efficiency here. They truly do take care of our warriors.

    Very nice, clean, quiet and very friendly people all over. Better than the one in Fashion Valley. I'm glad we change to here.

    Today Feb 24, 2026 I arrived at the hospital at 6:05 a.m. for a procedure that had me feeling very…read moreanxious, and from the very first moment, staff members were already waiting for me at the entrance. That alone made me feel cared for. I especially want to thank the nurse who received me this morning. I don't remember her name, but I will never forget her kindness. With her sense of humor and warmth, she eased my anxiety within minutes. In such a vulnerable moment, that kind of humanity makes all the difference. The medical team was professional, organized, and confident. Even in a highly technical environment filled with equipment, everything felt coordinated and reassuring. I felt safe the entire time. My procedure turned out better than expected, and I went home feeling peaceful and deeply grateful at 10:30 am Thank you for not only doing your job, but for doing it with empathy and heart. That is something that truly impacts patients and stays with them long after they leave I'm so grateful, thanks again all personal is amazing

    I am writing this review because I hope hospital leadership will address concerns about my recent…read moreexperience. During my visit, I experienced excessive wait times, poor communication, lack of follow-up, staff behavior. What was most concerning was lack of communication. I understand that hospitals can be busy and that healthcare professionals work under significant pressure. However, patients and families deserve clear communication, respect, and timely care. In my case, I had to wait 3 days for an MRI after that their wasn't a care plan to follow up. I had to advocate for myself for proper treatment. I am sharing this feedback not simply to complain, but in the hope that management will review these concerns and take steps to improve the patient experience. I would appreciate having someone from leadership contact me to discuss this matter further. Thank you for your attention.

    If the choice were mine, I would not come back to this place. I was referred here after I slipped…read moreand fell while hiking and hurt my shoulder. First it took quite a while to get the appointment and the office was hard to reach. On both my visits, I waited over an hour to be seen even though I was there at my scheduled time. On my first visit I was told I would get 2 prescriptions for nsaids. I had to call multiple times to get it sent to my pharmacy and it took more than a week. On my second visit, I heard them go into the room with a patient who had arrived well after me even though I had waited over an hour. To be fair, when I stepped out of the room and mentioned that I was first, the Dr did finally see me first. I also needed an mri and it took quite a while to get one and it was by sharp Mary birch which is really inconveniently far from Oceanside. On that second visit, the Dr went over the results and offered a shot to my shoulder or a referral to an orthopedic Dr. I chose the orthopedic referral and after that he was very dismissive. I waited a few weeks and never received a referral. When I called back, they told me I just needed to pick a Dr and make an appointment. That is not how my insurance works, so I called my insurance and had them call the office to tell them how it works. I still never received a referral and now have to go to my primary care Dr to get that referral. I'm not sure if all of their offices are this disorganized and uninformed or if it's just this one, but I wouldn't go back. There were so many patients in so much more pain than me that had to wait like I did, their suffering was hard to see.

One thing I do not like is it took me 12 days to get my Neck X-Rays back, me while I waited in pain. I don't know what it is about Kaiser but good luck trying to get any pain meds, anti inflammatories OR anxiety meds out of this company. I have suffered with long term social anxiety for the last 12 years now. I asked my doc for some Xanax which I only take for emergencies and he gave me 3 pills of Aadvin instead and never would refill my script. To me, this is absolutely ridiculous, I am not some junkie, I'm a 50 year old man who suffers with this crap. I quit that doctor as I didn't like his bed side manner anyway and choose another doc. "Never got the anxiety meds I needed, but thank GOD for street pharmacists. Fast forward to a new doc. I went in for a severe neck pain, once again, 0 help from the docs for any pain medication. They have me taking OTC stuff that's not really helping. "Again, thank God for my street pharmacists". The thing that sucks is, I pay 1000's of dollars for insurance and still can't get the meds I need. I miss my old private doc practice, where I could tell my doc what works for me and he would prescribe it it he agreed, not this Red tape corporate BS where you pay premiums and get the crap you need. I can't wait for my company to switch insurances again.
