I'm not the type of person to leave negative reviews, but I felt my experience here needed to be…read moreshared. This regards Dr. Hoostal and the reception staff. I am a young person who just moved to San Diego from out of state. I have medication I need to take daily I need to get refilled as well as discuss some health issues I have been having so it's time sensitive I get an appointment. I want to preface that every time I have called this office I was put on a long wait and handed off to a different person every time. The reception has always been audibly irritated and rude even with me asking very simple questions politely which has always made me feel like a burden to call to ask questions. Through my insurance portal, this business and its doctor were recommended to me. I call to become a new patient - they let me know only Dr. Hoostal is only taking new patients instead of the other doctor. That's fine, maybe they haven't updated their availability on the backend yet. I give them my information and they let me know they will call me back when my insurance is approved. I waited about a week, I called again to politely inquire about an estimation on when I might hear back. The receptionist became hostile and annoyed on the phone, letting me know the lady in charge of verifying insurance "has a giant pile on her desk and we get more everyday, so when she gets to it she gets to it." My mouth literally dropped. I didn't know what to say, so I let them know okay just call me when it's approved so we can get new patient work started for my condition. She goes "is there a reason you need to come in?" I let them know yeah I have a condition as well as some other issues so looking to get in to see Dr. Hoostal. I then got a voicemail an hour later saying it went through so I wonder if my call helped urge things along. Finally get to booking an appointment after these phone calls and back and forth. I've made it clear in my calls a few times now I have ADHD and am looking to get an appointment so Dr. Hoostal can hear my medical issues and help with my prescription that I need to take everyday. When they quoted me a month time for my appointment I asked if there was a waitlist for an earlier appointment and they said no (never been to an office that doesn't do this it seems pretty typical) and they asked why - I told them its for my condition which I mentioned on each call before. It's not life threatening, but I do have a migraine condition and if I miss anything in my schedule I am prone to a migraine. Right when I finally get to booking my appointment after these hurdles, reception lets me know Dr. Hoostal can't prescribe ADHD medication. I ask if that's a California law (I'm new to state) or an office thing. She said he has a moral obligation against treating ADHD patients (which I mentioned to them at least three times I have already) so I would have to see someone else so my time in the queue to become a new patient essentially meant nothing. Kind of confusing as most neurodivergent people also have ADHD and this is a pretty common disorder. I urge people looking for this to become their PCP to look at other nearby establishments who don't discriminate against patients based on their lifelong health conditions and whose employees are respectful on the phone. I understand healthcare can be stressful but it made me feel really self-conscious and discouraged every time that I called and every simple polite question was met with hostility and noticeable annoyance and tiredness. Healthcare shouldn't be a place where patients need to walk on eggshells or be ashamed of issues they are dealing with. If you are looking to be a patient here I would look elsewhere.

Over the years, Dr. Khehar has consistently been caring, knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely attentive to my needs. What I appreciate most is the trust I have developed with Dr. Khehar over such a long period of time. I always feel that I am listened to, my concerns are taken seriously, and I am given thoughtful explanations and guidance. That level of consistency and personal care is incredibly valuable. After more than a decade as a patient, I feel very fortunate to have Dr. Khehar as my doctor. I would gladly recommend Dr. Khehar to anyone looking for a physician who combines expertise with compassion and truly cares about their patients.

I would most certainly not recommend her. She would not refill a Rx for me until I either saw her…read moreor did a video conference with her. I chose the video conference. At the appointed time, she attempted to access the conference via my dumb phone rather than my computer. My dumb phone is not able to process a video conference. I got a text message with a URL as long as my arm, but could do nothing with it since my dumb phone has no video conference capability. She did not call me to do a teleconference and would not refill my Rx. When I expressed my disappointment, she told me to find another doctor. I find this response outrageous. She is in need of some serious counseling. It appears that she is suffering from burnout. Her actions border on elder abuse.

Dr. Rabin is the absolute best! She literally is a lifesaver in the every essence of the word…read more I have been seeing her for about 4 years and not only is she amazing at what she does, she is kind-hearted, funny and truly gets to know her patients. I don't think I've ever been this comfortable with any of my previous doctors. Very refreshing to have a doctor who isn't cold, aloof and unapproachable. She even remembered some of the conversations we had on my last visit more than a year ago. But what really stuck with me is that she discovered things that my old Dr. Wilging (see my review) did not even bother to find out, which led to my health suffering. On my last visit, I had my usual mammogram and annual exam. She went through my lab work and immediately had me undergo a colonoscopy. Since cancer runs in my family, this wasn't the first time I had one but I sensed an urgency in her request to gave me go in. Last Friday, I underwent my colonoscopy and they found a good-sized polyp in my colon. Thank God it was benign!!! If it weren't for her insistence, I may have put it off and it could've become cancerous. She literally saved me as there are no symptoms that would have clued me into what was growing inside of me. Dr. Hunt removed the polyp and I am recovering as we speak...so relieved. She makes me smile and laugh but most importantly, she listens. To all of my needs, concerns and answered all of my questions when my old quack of a doctor didn't give me the time of day. Thank you for all you do Dr. Rabin!!

I have been (until the last 4 weeks) been a healthy young woman and only visited her on the routine occasions for the regular check ups etc. about a month ago i developed a sever back issue that is still going on. I have seen her about 4 times in the past month as she is tireless in trying to find the right resolution for my pain. She is so friendly and understanding, I know that she has my best interest at heart. I'm also very glad at how young she is as she won't be retiring anytime soon and I hope she is my doc forever. Everyone at the downtown location is very courteous and fast, and friendly. I've hit the Urgent care 3 times and always been seen very quickly. All that aside though, Dr. Falquier rocks. If you've never had a bond with your doc I seriously recommend checking her out. Good luck!!

Another 5-star review for Dr. Falquier, but it bears repeating - she's awesome!…read more I came across her because she was in the same office as someone on the list of San Diego's best doctors. That doctor wasn't accepting new patients but Dr. Falquier was, and boy am I thankful for that. Finding a good doctor is always tough, and after a couple of false starts, I'm really happy that I found her. She's totally on the ball, makes you feel comfortable, genuinely seems to care (imagine that!), and is funny to boot. I love Dr. Falquier, and highly recommend her for anyone looking for a new primary care physician.

It is not always easy to find a doctor who is both highly competent and compassionate, but she truly is both.

When you go to your appointment, the front office staff is very friendly and professional. When it is time for the doctor to see you, he comes out to greet you. Yes indeed! Dr. Williams comes out to get you, greets you and shakes your hand. You proceed to his office to discuss your medical issue, then he escorts you to the exam room.

Professional, empathetic and paying attention to you. Now that's what a doctor should be like.
