She had a bad cough, chest pain, and other symptoms. She was seen by a doctor here who told her she has bronchitis and asthma from an infection. They said they would send in the prescription for her inhaler and other medication. When we got to the Rite Aid to pick up her medication on a Friday evening, we found the Rite Aid was permanently closed. Oh no.... this was bad. But I messaged this clinic here on Yelp, this very page, and the next morning, Saturday morning, my wife got a phone call directly from someone who was able to resend her meds to a CVS less than 5 minutes from our house!!! Wow! Amazing. We were so worried we wouldn't be able to get her medicine until the next day they were open....5 days later....but because they reached out to us on a Saturday, we were able to get the meds only a day or two later!! Thank you endlessly to this clinic that truly CARES about every single person that comes through their doors. This clinic makes the world a better place and saves lives.

It's FREE healthcare for the uninsured. They saved my butt for sure. It's run by RN and NP students…read moreand overseen by an MD and several NPs that all donate their time. The clinic itself is run on donations. They can do physicals, give vaccines, prescribe medications, have blood labs drawn, do screenings of all sorts of other services (Pap, suture/staple removal, EKG, mental health, TB testing, diabetes education and supplies, urinalysis, drug testing for specific organizations, strep a testing, etc.), and provide plenty of usually specialized and costly healthcare. They have five clinics across Escondido, Ocean Beach, North Park, and Carlsbad. They also partner to provide care for other refugee and human trafficking organizations. At the start of each academic semester, there is a new crop of students running the joint and it can get a bit lengthy of a wait, but the care is real, high quality, and free. This Escondido clinic is open most Tuesdays at 1pm, taking their last patient at 6pm, and Thursdays at 8am, taking their last patient at 12pm. Appointments are available but walk ins are also taken on a first come, first served basis.

To make matters worse, my entire right side of my body's digestive system was having major trouble. Went to several doctors, but no luck. Was referred to Dr. Fournier by a friend. This lady was UNBELIEVABLE. I went into her office feeling 70 years old and came out feeling like myself again. She found out that my liver was twisted and fixed it. It was freaky to feel myself change while laying on the table. She also indicated to me that my brain was pulling to the left (bizarre). She went through several manipulative procedures and I literally felt better. Also when I came in, I had an irregular heartbeat. When I left, it was gone (She had indicated that my distressed liver was causing the irregular heartbeat). When I got to the front desk to pay, she said to me, "Look at yourself in the mirror: you color has returned." I turned to look at myself and my face was rich with blood. I had been pale for several months. It was bizarre! This was like seeing a doctor from the 23rd Century. This woman is AMAZING. Nothing bizarre, nothing weird, just good, solid work.

And at the same time I was feeling frustrated and upset with my current health situation. I was seeing practitioners and even specialist and getting no answers. So, I decided to go and make an appointment with Dr. M and have been seeing her for over a year and a half now. She is amazing! Her and her assistant Sunny are warm and welcoming and make you truly feel like you are important to them. You feel like you are being heard and every ailment matters. Not only do you feel like you are finally being understood by a knowledgable professional, Dr. Maraio spends a good amount of time with you finding the root causes. She educates you and helps you have a better grasp on what your body is going through and how to alleviate the pain and stressors. For the first time I finally understood what my body and mind needed and how to take important steps towards optimal health. I completely contribute it to Dr. M and her guidance and vast knowledge. Dr. Maraio has not only been a doctor diagnosing me, but a mentor and a support system that has completely changed my life. If you are looking for answers or just better health, I highly recommend Dr. Maraio (trust me- I recommend her to everyone I come in contact with that just doesn't feel 'right' anymore). And to be honest... I think I cried my first couple of appointments because someone finally understood and didn't just tell me that I was getting older. I am so grateful I found Dr. Maraio and you will as well!

She used to be really great, but over the past year or so she's gotten to where she'll say things…read moreand then come back later and not remember it and then act like I'm some sort of criminal because I followed her instructions. For example, she told me at my last appointment that I could run my labs whenever I wanted and then only make a follow-up appointment if something turned up. Well, something did turn up. When I contacted her office, I got a passive-aggressive reply saying that I didn't make an appointment to review the labs before running them. I did just what she told me to do! When I mentioned this, I was all but told that I was lying and she would never have said that. It's not the first time this has happened, but I've let it go previously. Everybody forgets things sometimes. It's a real problem though when you start accusing other people of making things up because you don't remember what you said.

Dr. Kieffer is a gifted and skilled individual…read more Our daughter was born via induced labor two weeks early. At about two months old she started having problems with digestion, and was in obvious pain. Sometimes she would cry and then scream herself to sleep after eating. She was on breast milk and we tried different brands of formula and all sorts of combinations to try to ease her digestive problems. She would struggle and struggle to have a BM, her whole body tense and contracting, and when she did it was a small but non-productive explosion. She was born very content but her life was becoming a cycle of waking up hungry, eating, crying/screaming, and sleep. My wife and I were very concerned. We knew we had more than a "colicky" baby as out GP had told us. My wife committed herself to finding a solution and started researching the symptoms. It was a conversation with a friend of hers that brought up Osteopathy, as her friend's daughter had been relieved of acid reflux problems through Osteopathic treatment. My wife found Dr. Kieffer through an extensive search for DOs with specific abilities and familiarity with infants. Within minutes of sitting down with Dr. Kieffer I felt we were on the right path. Dr. Kieffer started out by asking about the pregnancy. She wanted to go back to learn what she could about our daughter's time in the womb. Obviously she wanted foundational information before determining a course of treatment, or if Osteopathic treatment was even an option. After a lengthy conversation she began examining our daughter. What happened next was awesome. Our tired, tense, fidgety infant "melted" in Dr. Kieffer's hands on the exam table as Dr. Kieffer worked her "magic". As she gently and slowly used her skilled and practiced hands to work with our daughter my confidence in our decision grew. Dr. Kieffer was soothing and comforting to our daughter and it was obvious our daughter was feeling relief immediately. That night after we got home from that very first visit our daughter had the best night of sleep she had since entering this world. So did we! We followed up with three more visits. Each time Dr. Kieffer used her skills, knowledge and ability to gently work with our daughter and each time we saw our daughter becoming a happier baby as a result. After the fourth visit Dr. Kieffer advised that our daughter seemed to be doing well and she didn't see a need for more treatments unless symptoms reappeared. We were prepared to go for treatment as long as it took. Obviously Dr. Keiffer isn't in this practice for the money, she genuinely wants to help people feel better. Now a little over four months old, our daughter is a very happy, healthy "normal" baby that sleeps like champ, has a healthy appetite, normal BMs, and is learning to laugh at silly faces and make a variety of funny noises. In my opinion Dr. Kieffer greatly improved our daughter's quality of life. As a parent I am very grateful for her skilled treatment of my daughter. If you or someone you know has a baby that is more than just a little colicky, or seems to be having trouble with digestion or sleep I very strongly recommend a consult with Dr. Kieffer.

I had suffered from allergies for almost my entire adult life. Two visits in, I ditched the inhalant, and I've been allergy-free since. Lower back pain? Gone. Now, I schedule a visit about once every six months for a check/tune-up, and I feel better than ever before. I'm a believer, and I think you will be too.

Dr. Capetenakis misdiagnosed my Stage IV Deep Infiltrating Endometriosis. I was referred to Dr…read more Capetenakis by a functional medicine doctor, and was hoping that by establishing care with a "boutique medical practice", I would get the care that I so desperately needed. Long story short, I ended up having an excision surgery for Stage IV Endometriosis, and it was so bad that I also ended up needing a bowel resection. For being told multiple times during my visits that my pain was due to ovulation, my fibroids weren't an issue (he had women with 12cm fibroids get pregnant), and that the developing cysts on my ovaries were nothing to be concerned about, it was a genuine shock that my situation was so dire. My doctor that did the excision surgery shared that I had a life expectancy of 5-6 years if I had not been treated. With regard to the office experience, it is a shock that his office does not send out appointment reminders. According to his staff, they are too small. Given that my dog groomer, acupuncturist, and my therapist all manage their own schedules and send automated appointment reminders without issue, that is definitely an area of improvement. Especially when I was charged a $50 no show fee for an appointment that I never scheduled. All in all - they tried. However, when a patient is far too complex they should be referred out to another provider, not told that everything is fine and to move on. If it were his family, I doubt he would have taken the same approach as he did with me.
