CAUTION: MASSIVE review ahead!…read more Remember this: I am an extremely patient person. It takes a LOT out of me to get me extremely angry. I usually come here for a number of services, since I have a friend that's an earshot away from this location. A lot of the services they provide are at most decent. I get my bloodwork done, I just got my dental cleaning done not that far back, and that's proper: no complaints about that. But the two incidents, which has stretched out over the course of about five weeks, really, REALLY frosted my arse like an unusually bitter winter storm rushed thru coastal and inland San Diego. What I experienced at their Vision Clinic was a massive contentious problem to me. Let me explain. I come there as expected to set up a prescription order for two pairs of glasses: one paid by my insurance provider, the other out of pocket thanks to the kindness of my friend's heart. My additional pair cost them $140. While I wish I remembered her name to make things easier to figure out, name-dropping is pointless, and I'm sure there's some convoluted process that got it all jumbled up, and for no apparent reason at all. I recall, if my memory has not failed me at all, requiring that transitions should go to the Aviator-style glasses, whilst the light brown tint should be for the black frames. Okay, done-deal: she made sure to mark out the proper alignment for each pair I ordered, and hopefully had everything written out. A couple or so weeks have passed, I get an automated call telling me that they're ready for pick-up. So we went here, went to pick them up. I had noticed right off the bat that something wasn't right: my memory being fuzzy for some odd reason, I took them at first, but after some delegation with my friend, I went back to tell them that my specified needs for my prescriptions... WERE SWAPPED AROUND. After complaining to the guy at the front desk, who seemed pretty patient enough, the same lady who I told my prescription to rushed over to chide me about how that was apparently what I ordered. Still barely remembering what had transpired back then, I was frozen and frankly traumatised, as I am the person to usually NEVER INTENTIONALLY LIE TO PEOPLE. I would much rather punch myself in the nose than to purposefully manipulate someone like this, ESPECIALLY when this is my healthcare needed here. After too much back-and-forth, they took them back, and told us that we have ONE MORE CHANGE FOR FREE, which I do not recall seeing it ANYWHERE on paper about this. I came home extremely upset at feeling like I was an arsehole, and disappointed that I didn't get my prescription AT ALL. I later learned I was gaslit, and I was praying that she was just having a bad day. Whilst I was home, I was called to have my prescription order redone. Same lady who chided me up and decided allegedly ON HER OWN VOLITION "made sure" three times with me on what I wanted for my lenses. I had flubbed ONCE, accidentally saying to have the transitions and tint on the black frames, quickly then correcting myself and made sure to maintain what I had said the FIRST TIME. After she had clearly recalled what I said on the last time, I confirmed, and things were hunky-dory. Two or so weeks later, again, I come back. I sat there, extremely stressed out and highly pessimistic: an unusual thing I experience. I was actually having a sliver of hope. I was called up, was given my prescription. THEY PUT *BOTH* ON THE SAME LENSES, AND LEFT THE OTHER ONE COMPLETELY BLANK. I was enraged. I told him calmly that this is NOT what I ordered, confident that this time I knew EXACTLY what I told her. Sure enough, the same lady uttered "oh my God" in the most aggravated tone I've heard in my life, and rushed over again and STIFFLY chided to me that she made sure THREE TIMES that this was what I wanted. I argued with her that NO, it was NOT. She reluctantly (from my perspective) took them back in. I was sitting in the waiting room, absolutely pissed off about this obnoxious ordeal. I sat there stewing for what seemed to be 15 minutes until she came back out to call us up. She told us they can no longer fulfil any redos, and offered us a refund. No apologies for their obvious mistakes, by the way. Surprised, we accepted those terms and demanded a copy of my prescription. All was fulfiled, and we left with just the copy of my prescription, opting to never order frames from this clinic ever again. Keep in mind that had I paid out of pocket, which frankly I am not FLOODING with money at all, I fear my mood would have been a lot worse than that. $140 is NOT cheap for prescription lenses, especially if you're someone on SSI. Long story short: you are much better off ordering your prescription glasses from a proper optometrist. This was an extremely humiliating experience, and this was NEVER something I recall encountering almost at ALL in my life. And remember: I am an EXTREMELY PATIENT PERSON. It takes a LOT to get me extremely angry!

Becky was ill and made an appointment to see a Dr. at the Kaiser location in El Cajon. I drove her…read morethere and waited with her inthe lobby. I have Sharp Healthcare, she has Kaiser. I can only compare to that. The check-in kiosk at Kaiser was not very user-friendly. Becky had to answer a lot of questions and negotiate through multiple screens. The waiting area was rather drab and stark. Once we got past that, the care Becky received was good. The initial nurse who took vitals and such was kind and professional. The nurse practitioner who examined her was also professional and thorough. He answered of our questions and offered diagnosis and treatment options. One thing about Kaiser that is less than ideal is they will not transfer prescriptions to other pharmacies. Patients can only use Kaiser pharmacies which is (at least for us) terribly inconvenient. Especially given that we have at least a half-dozen pharmacies in close proximity to our house while the nearest Kaiser is a 20-minute drive.

They need to be back from lunch on time and stop chit chatting. That simple. Finally got called back at 2:16pm!! And no apology for making me wait almost an hour after my appointment time. This is the worst experience!!!

When I asked him to walk to me so I could massage his leg, he couldn't even walk. I was begging the doctor for blood tests or an ultrasound, but she said it was NOT NECESSARY! And her answer just killed me. She said my son was MANIPULATING me. She is a doctor who doesn't know that small kids don't know what manipulation is and can't do it. My son was always welcome to our bed if he woke up at night; we never said no to him. So she didn't give us any prescriptions! After some time, it happened again at night, and his pain was so strong that he was screaming so badly that we took him to the emergency room at night! All because our doctor didn't do anything besides saying that he was a manipulator. We do not recommend this doctor.

I understand providers sometimes need to cancel, and I also understand they may not have been able to see me the same day, but the way the situation was handled afterward was extremely frustrating. I came in because I'm still experiencing pain and complications from a procedure done through this office, and I had previously been told it was important to come back for follow-up care. I had already tried calling multiple times before coming in and was left on hold for over 2 hours without ever reaching anyone. Nautica was the only person at the front desk when I arrived. When I tried explaining the situation and that I was in serious pain, I felt dismissed instead of helped. Communication was difficult because she spoke very quietly, and when I asked her to speak up so I could hear her clearly, the interaction immediately became tense and defensive. Being met with attitude simply for asking someone to repeat themselves or speak louder is unprofessional and unnecessary. She also stated that the office had tried calling me that morning, but I did not receive any calls, voicemails, or missed calls from them prior to arriving. I was worried about my health, trying to get answers, and also needing to get to work, so the lack of compassion and urgency was upsetting. Patients dealing with ongoing complications should not feel brushed off when they are actively trying to seek medical care.

I did one study that went well, but then when I tried to get on another one that I was otherwise qualified for, I was 1 or 2 points past the BMI index cut-off and did not get on. This was for a knee shot study that most people do not care to do. Those knee shots really hurt. Then when I asked why I did not qualify, the lady told me they found marijuana in my blood! I don't think so but she was grasping at straws to get me out of there. If they knew there is BMI index in a study then they need to ask people on the phone about their weight and height before making them drive all the way out there to God forsaken El Cajon, only to be told you're too fat for the study. I was pretty pissed off but managed to get some money out of them for my gas, time and trouble. Another place to add to my list of no-go's. When research patients are treated with respect and shown by fair treatment, that they are valued, then everyone is happy. Not cool to play games, keep the research participants waiting and/ or jacking them around. 2 YELP STARS for Triwest.
