    Need a quick sports physical? This place has it down to a science. Every staff member greeted us…read morewith a smile and was genuinely helpful. I didn't catch her name but one of the staff persons was assisting the elderly person to complete her paperwork and use the app. She was quite reassuring. The clinic is always exceptionally clean, and everything runs efficiently. I've only been here for my daughter's annual athletic physicals, and each visit has been consistently excellent. They already have the required paperwork for Sweetwater school district but it's best to bring your own to avoid glitches. The physical was only $40, and despite a busy waiting room, we were in and out in just 30 minutes. We arrived on a Saturday at 1:00 p.m. and walked out by 1:30. I have been here at 530 pm and walked out by 6. From entry to paperwork to physical. And I have excellent insurance! SB Urgent Care is opened seven days a week. Cash & card accepted. Opened in the evenings. No appointment necessary. I appreciate they are organized, affordable, and hassle-free. Although I come for the physical other patients were there for medical situations. The only drawback is that you can hear everything. If you have a sensitive situation, whisper or write it down. I am greatly pleased of this medical facility in the community that is accessible by bus, car, or your feet. "When health is accessible, lives are preserved ."

    Happy September…read more Generally pretty quick to get you in. The staff is friendly from the receptionists to the PA. We had a training PA help us, she was helpful and did a full check out. She confined the options with her supervisor and we were happy with the care. My only suggestion is to add a better epoxy to the medical room we were in. It didn't feel very clean. Overall, the visit was under an hour.

    Our family is incredibly grateful to the entire team at Sharp Chula Vista Medical Center. My…read moremother-in-law was transported by ambulance from Guerrero Negro, Baja California, during a medical emergency, and from the moment she arrived, she received outstanding care. The doctors and staff acted quickly, performing an emergency procedure to place three stents, and took amazing care of her until she was transferred to Kaiser. Everyone was compassionate, professional, and kept our family informed every step of the way. Thank you for your kindness, expertise, and exceptional care during one of the most difficult times for our family. We truly appreciate everything you did. Highly recommend!

    I walked in with my dad last Sunday to take him to the emergency room, he had slurred speech (not…read moreunderstandable at ALL) and fell down, when he got up his speech was slow but not slurred but he felt like his tongue was moving slowly and felt bad, dizzy, and weird, he started walking and it was very slow and crooked. We headed over to the ER, and the man who checked us in was SO RUDE and he was questioning us because my dad was "speaking normal" even when I explained everything that happened. He kept insisting that he looked normal, and was looking at me and my dad like we were full of crap and lying, I got very irritated with this man. They immediately took my dad in and the man followed the nurse to tell her that my dad seems fine (basically telling the nurse we were lying) and the nurse then told him my dads vitals and he just said "oh" and left. He was wrong, rude, and inserting himself in situations that he has no business inserting himself in. My dad was in fact having a stroke and was hospitalized for days and is now in a rehabilitation center for a month with recovery that will take longer, he could have died if we waited any longer, and this man could have made them doubt and make my dad wait longer.He was bald with glasses. Seriously would hate to see him again. I will be making a complaint and seek further action. Ps. The other staff, nurses, doctors, cnas were just WONDERFUL! however this man honestly needs to be removed from his job

    I was referred to Dr. Sundaram by my primary care doctor. Jackie at the front desk was great - she…read morewas able to get me in the same day given the urgency of my case. She checked me in efficiently, and Martin did a battery of thorough peripheral and eyesight exams. Then I saw Dr. Sundaram who was even more thorough and had me take more tests/scans including optic nerve and cornea. She walked me through the results and went over my MRI with me, explaining what they indicated and next steps. She was factual and matter of fact, but also calmed my nerves a bit. The only reason this is a 4 star review and not 5 stars is because I had two appointments (field eye test then the consult), an hour apart. The second time I was 20 minutes early, checked in online then went to the front desk. The girl who helped me had no idea how to check me in and when I told her what Jackie did to check me in, she still looked lost and went and asked for help. Long story short, it somehow took 25 minutes for this to happen so instead of being early I ended up getting seen late. Dr. Sundaram was great and very thorough, and I would recommend her.

    Always a great medical center I had eye appt. And it was a great visit…read moreMy Dr. Is great I hadn't seen her in a while so lots to go thru. I really enjoy the staff here Very pleasant too I was suppose to get my eyes dilated but I didn't So I rescheduled dilation because I had no one with me. So I love the new construction here it's so big and beautifully done and plants stairs with more offices here and parking too

    I'm honestly disappointed with how much this place has changed. We returned to IBHC after switching…read moreinsurance, and from the very beginning the experience was frustrating and unprofessional. When I called to make the appointment, I was on hold for 45 minutes. On the day of the appointment, we arrived 15 minutes early for intake, but were told we had to wait to check in because staff were helping another patient enroll in Medi-Cal. We then waited another 35 minutes just to be checked in -- after already arriving early -- only to continue waiting 20 minutes (again) to be called back. The provider who saw my son explained that he was an ER doctor, it was his first day, and that he was not a pediatrician, so we would need to schedule a follow-up appointment. This was not a same day appointment....this was a scheduled appointment that we waited for and I took off work and pulled him out of school (costing us money we do not have). Why we were seen by someone who couldn't even perform this task, I do not know. We scheduled that follow-up before leaving and they even called to confirm it with me the next day. Today, I left work early (again, costing us money) to bring my son in, only to be told by the front desk that the appointment had been canceled one minute after it was originally entered into the system. If that's true, how was I able to confirm it the following day? At every step, it felt like there was little to no respect for our time. I rarely leave negative reviews (In fact, my only negative review), but this experience was so disorganized and frustrating that I feel others should be aware. Healthcare is already time-consuming and expensive enough without having to deal with this level of miscommunication and lack of professionalism.

    This place is extremely unprofessional, with no empathy or communication. If you're military or…read moreneed reliable medical care, DO NOT come here. I had my routine physical done by them. About a month later I was told by military medical I just needed my civilian doctor to sign a form confirming it. Sounds easy right? No. This clinic made it HELL. When I called IB health clinic, asking if I could bring in the form or fax it to my doctor to sign off that she just did my exam they said I couldn't fax it and needed an appointment JUST to get the signature that the doctor did it. I expressed how important and urgent it was, but their soonest wasn't for a month out. I was dismissed immediately and just given a "sorry we don't accept fax or email, that's our soonest, nothing we can do for you". So I waited a month, only for it to be canceled the day of with no notice because the doctor called out. I desperately asked if there was anything they could do, allow a fax or email this one time, put me with another doctor, any sort of way they could help. Despite explaining how urgent this was for my military orders and that I only needed a signature for the exam they ALREADY COMPLETED. They refused to help, wouldn't allow another doctor to sign, in a dismissive tone saying I should "schedule an appointment and bring my papers next time when I do". Clearly, that's what I was there for, your useless comment wasn't needed or helpful. Thankfully, I went elsewhere the same day to a clinic I had never been to, had no appointment and was helped IMMEDIATELY. IB health center was a terrible experience, and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. Had I known they weren't going to be any help at all from the start I would've never come here. They also contact your EMERGENCY contact for non-emergencies. Insane.
