I'm sure Dr Hizon was a good medical professional, but not in my opinion and his "evaluation" of me…read morewas non-existent and completely inaccurate. Will not be coming back. Being new to the Temecula area after several decades in Chicago, I was in need of a new Dr to oversee my regular health and physical wellbeing. Was referred to Dr Hizon, and with his background in sports medicine, I felt it would be a good fit. I had been experiencing sever back and leg pain for several months making walking and exercising very difficult and painful. I have had several spinal surgeries, resulting in spinal fusion from L1-S1, but had been generally well for over 10 years, no major health issues, and other than the back and occasional knee pain (63 yo with back and arthritis issues, but still very active and mobile, until recently), was in decent shape, according to my Dr in Chicago. At my appointment with Dr Hizon, cannot call it a evaluation or consultation, as he did neither, I was told in general terms that I was going to die if I did not take care of myself, and "would be bad for his reviews". Was told that I was running out of body parts, and needed to change my lifestyle and begin a severe keto diet, with absolutely no carbs, needed to walk at least 10k steps/day (which I was doing until the recent back and leg pain and the reason for needing to see Dr Hizon) and start Pilates, and follow his videos and diet plans and apps. Was ordered extensive blood work and lab test to give him a baseline of my health. Never examined me, never asked me questions, just saw a 63 year old man in pain and decided I was in declining health. Scheduled a video call for a follow up a few weeks out, and I had to travel for a friend's medical emergency, and was the day of my friends procedure, so I had limited time before heading to the hospital. I logged on at 9:45am for a 10am call, at 10:15 I called and explained that I had to leave with my friend for the hospital at 11:00. They explained that once Dr Hizon arrived, he would call me back, no more than 10 minutes. About 30 minutes later, in the hospital and unable to use my cell, I was told that I was reschedule with his nurse practitioner at 1, even though I specifically told them I would not be available the rest of the day. At 1:15 I again received a message and was told I was rescheduled for 4:20. It has been 2 weeks since this all happened and I have yet to hear back from Dr Hizon or his office, neither through the patient portal or a call or an email, nothing. Turns out my results were all good, even better than last year. Have since sent my doctor the results and had a video call with him to discuss the results. I cannot recommend a Dr that asks not a single question of his patients and evaluates you without any examinations. A doctor that uses fear to intimidate and scare his patients into doing as he wants. I saw another Dr in Temecula with my in-laws, prior to my initial "meeting" with Dr Hizon, her first words were " he hasn't retired yet?", that should have been a warning to do my proper due diligence on him, as we all should.

Dr Hizon has a horrible bedside manner. I will never see him again! Practically called me a liar!read more

This time, we were forced to find one around Temecula because of our insurance so we searched on Yelp and saw that Doctor Uhler had really HIGH RATINGS! CARE QUALITY: 10/10 ALL of the staff at the front desk were all pretty young and mature. They are more patient over the phone and in person than most other front desk staff we've been too. They are all nice and beautiful folks. Cameron was a sweet heart who checked our blood pressure... DOCTOR UHLER: 10/10 He came in and just sat down with me and my husband. He really took his time to TALK and get to know us. We didn't feel rushed like most other offices we've been to. I remember spending about 5-15 minutes speaking with other doctors. I mean I understand doctors are busy but, doctor uhler spared at least 45 minutes of his time for us. We both have back problems so we were speaking to the right person. He gave us some referrals for physical therapy, requests for lab work and colonoscopy for my husband... What a GREAT FIND! He was also professionally working with Olympic Champions!! Doctor Uhler is patient, empathic and humble... I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Dr. Uhler

I've been researching my own issues for the past 4 years. This Dr knows his stuff. I hit the jackpot when I found him. Another bonus is he is right around the corner from my house! I would drive hours to see this doc! When I spoke with a pharmacist at the compounding pharmacy, she asked who my Dr was. I told her Dr L and she said he is one of her favorite Dr's. that he knows his stuff. I'm in bioidentical hormones at the age of 37. He ran the RIGHT saliva tests for my adrenals & sex hormones to find my exact deficiencies. In this last visit, he added a compounded medication that I used to take long ago. It's a controversial immune modulator that is very safe and could help me. He knew all about it. That's impressive. I could go on and on. This Dr has zero ego that I've seen. He totally takes your input. He took an hour with me at last visit to make sure all my needs were met and all questions answered. He is a very laid back guy. His staff is great too. He sends you home with a printed plan. One issue is that suddenly it was taking me over a month to get an appointment. I mentioned it to him and he explained. Greybill Medicals computer system had a glitch and allowed him to take on 250 new patients! He was working 14 hour days trying to get everyone in. He said so egging to management and they caught the issue and corrected it. So scheduling an appointment with this sought after Dr is going to suck for a while until it levels out. I made my two month appointment when I left. He also takes Medicare and IEHP/Medical! Quality for everyone.

Deborah Layton was the best doctor I ever had in my 57 years on this earth . I saw her regularly at…read moreRancho Medical Group in Temecula. She was a great communicator and NP. Very knowledgeable and willing to listen. One day I messaged her, right after Christmas 2025. She usually gets right back to her patients, at least in my case, but in this case it was several weeks with no response so I figured maybe she was on a vacation. I was quite taken back when I found out that she had left the practice as I had just saw her a week prior to Christmas. . I never heard from her and I was pretty close to her as a patient and she knew so much about me and my medical and health needs. She helped me profoundly and I was absolutely grieved to see her go. It has been difficult to find a doctor like her. I have several conditions and a rare disease. She did not hesitate with unconventional and traditional approaches, and to listen to the patient and their needs as well as how they were feeling, to together come up with the solution that would alleviate the issues as well as provide hope for getting on a good path to overall health and well being and move forward to see what will work optimally for each of unique case. It is now April 2026 and I still am looking for a doctor that is even somewhat what Deborah Layton was.

Deborah Layton has been a Godsend to me. She cares about her patients, is quick to answer messages…read moreand questions, and knows and supports HRT for women. She is also pro-holistic but still has a great knowledge about, and for the most part, supports western medicine. She is an excellent communicator and quick to address your needs . She doesn't hesitate to offer referrals when needed. All that to say that I love this doctor and Rancho Medical Group. I was very scared when I found out my other doctor stopped taking my medical insurance, but God had another plan and I am so glad that this happened the way that it did otherwise I would not have been introduced to this clinic, nor Dr. Deborah Layton.

Dr. Maggie, whom I see most often, orders labs and specialist referrals easily. She, then meticulously reviews the reports in order to support me in finding a plan of action.

They are kind, caring, and very knowledgeable. I could go on for days writing this review because being healthy means EVERYTHING. My family is so confident that we receive the best healthcare at Dr. Curtiss Combs medical practice that my adult children have been patients of Dr. Christina and Dr. Maggie since they turned 18. They drive back to Temecula no matter where they live to see their primary beloved doctors even though they have the option of choosing doctors closer to home.
