Dr. Chaudarry is a Multiple Sclerosis specialist. When I finally did find her, I had already seen…read morethree previous MS specialists in San Diego County with disastrous results. After moving her from Ventura County, my own MS doctor retired after caring for me for a decade after my initial diagnosis. I spent two years getting very ill in the process. Dr. Chaudarry-in just one visit-offered me a plan for rescue, a one year map for success, hope for ending this tragic medication nightmare I have ended up trapped in for two years and best of all, a physician with a focus on holistic healing as primary care and traditional medicine as complimentary. Please don't misunderstand this statement. I am a registered nurse and a marriage and family therapist. I have a high value for medical care. What most people are not understanding these days is that Americans suffer from many illnesses that are either caused or exacerbated by stress. MS is one of these illnesses. This physician understands that. That is as good as it gets!!!

Veronica administers numbing eyedrops with ease. This is the second time Dr. Veena Arun has saved my eyesight. This physician is truly one of a kind, a true angel and a caring individual who is personable and helpful. Dr. Arun made the time today to see me on very short notice as a follow-up recommendation from Urgent Care to see Ophthalmology. Although Dr. Arun wasn't the on-call physician today, she saw me early. I am so grateful to her. Additionally, she alleviated my pain and suffering that I had after my Urgent Care visit. Dr. Arun patiently explained to me how the process works for my path going forward. She is such an exceptional doctor. I am very glad she accepted me today. Dr. Arun prescribed the correct Rx. Dr. Arun correctly diagnosed my condition. I implicitly trust her with one of the most vital organs - our eyes. What a brilliant ophthalmologist she is - and caring, too. Love this doctor. She helped me understand.

This place is busier and busier. It feels more like Kaiser then sharp. I am always waiting longer…read morethan my appointment time, to see my practitioner. And last minute cancellations and no one is covering them. The ADA parking is out of code with the federal and state mandates. So if that is something you need, plan for extra time to find a reasonable parking spot, bring a driver or use a ride share. Parking is atrocious for anyone needing ADA parking. This used to be the premiere health care, or at least second. And they are consistently slipping from that. The level of customer service at the front desk, the amount of time the doctors actually spend with you, makes me wonder if they have switched to a for profit healthcare system. Not horrible. Better than healthcare say in Alabama. But. There is a lot of room for improvement.

I am sharing my experience with Family Health Centers of Escondido in the hope that it encourages…read moreimprovements in patient care. My sister passed away in April 2026. Despite notifying the clinic multiple times of her death, I have now received three calls attempting to schedule follow-up appointments for her. That alone reflects a concerning lack of communication within the organization. Unfortunately, this was consistent with our experience while she was alive. My sister had multiple complex medical conditions, yet obtaining coordinated care was unnecessarily difficult. Communication was poor, medication lists and diagnoses were often inaccurate, and correcting errors in her medical record proved extremely frustrating. Some examples include: Her chart repeatedly listed coronary artery disease and hypertension, neither of which she had. I had to continually request that the Primary Care Physician removed them from her chart. An incorrect fax from her primary care office led to her life-sustaining Midodrine being discontinued at her memory care facility, resulting in a syncopal episode and urgent medical evaluation. Her gallbladder surgery was delayed after surgical clearance was withheld for mildly low potassium. While waiting for another appointment, her biliary drain became dislodged, requiring emergency surgery at another hospital. When hospice became appropriate, the referral was sent to the wrong agency despite prior discussions, causing unnecessary frustration during an already difficult time. Throughout her care, messages often went unanswered, and communication seemed focused more on administrative processes than resolving patient needs. I worked as a Nurse Practitioner for over 30 years and understand that no healthcare system is perfect. However, accurate medical records, clear communication, and coordinated care are basic standards. In our experience, those standards were too often missing. We remained with Family Health Centers only because appointment availability was better than many alternatives, which was critical given how medically fragile my sister was. I sincerely hope the organization reviews its processes and improves the quality and coordination of care. Based on our experience, I cannot recommend this clinic.

About a year ago, I had a rise in blood platelets, and since for me it could possibly mean cancer,…read moreI made an appointment. Dr. Lamon ordered follow-up testing for a month later to track changes, and put me on a daily baby aspirin, since it can lower chances of colon cancer, something I have a predilection to. When I arrived for my follow up, I paid my copay and went back to the room to wait. He burst in and demanded to know how many tests I had done. I said I did whatever was on the order, just the one--he shoved a copy in my face and asked me to confirm and I said yeah, that was probably the one. He stormed out, yelling at the nurses as he went. They apparently ordered the wrong test and were supposed to order a second test as well, which they did not, meaning the appt was a waste of time since they couldn't tell me anything. He stomped back in and asked me if there was anything I needed--I had noticed that I started to sunburn more easily than normal (like fully burned and peeling after less than 40 minutes in the shade). I did my research and read several peer reviewed studies that showed daily aspirin could make people photosensitive. I have issue with the texture of sun block on my skin, cause it gets very sticky and takes really hard scrubbing to get it off, so I went to ask "I think the aspirin is making me burn easier. I know I need to wear sunblock, but I hate the feeling of it, are there any you recommend as a doctor that might not cause that issue?" I got as far as "sunblock, but" when he interrupted me and told me "It's stupid to think aspirin could that, and if you don't wanna wear sunblock I can introduce you to some melanoma patients who might change your mind." I have had three cancers. My mom has had 7. May dad has had 4, including skin, and this is all on my family history and should be stuff he is aware of. He walked out after that. Since they hadn't even had a chance to do my vitals yet, a nurse, Danica, who said she was head nurse, came in to do them. I told her "I will be getting a refund for my copay today." And related what happened. She apologized for his behavior and offered "since you already paid today, I can have the front desk mark that it's waived next time, unless you need the money now." I agreed to that, and spoke with Danica and the receptionist while I got my lab orders and everyone agreed to the arrangement. On the third appointment they asked to collect a copay, and I reminded them that I had spoken with her and Danica previously, and it should be waived for this appointment. She said she did recall the conversation and that she would waive it. I have spoken to them no less than ten times about this now, as they have been billing me monthly for the third appointment's copay, threatening to send me to collections, etc. If I call and leave a message with the billing department it gets ignored. Each time I get a live person and explain the situation to someone they agree that I shouldn't pay it, and finally, a year and a half later, I think I have finally managed to convince them by posting the above on their site review system. We'll see.
