    We are having a boy!

    Shelly, is amazing to say the least.. she has been with me since the moment I found out I was expecting. When I called her her customer service was too notch and once I made it to my appointment she made me feel beyond comfortable and was so welcoming making each experience with her a good one. Really looking forward to our next appointment. I will forever recommend her and the ultrasound experience you'll feel happier and with peace of mind once you've had an appointment with Shelly forever grateful to her for telling us we are having a boy best reveal ever thanks a million Shelly!

    Shared parking with other business. The parking spaces are decent sized. The driveway is somewhat steep on one side, other side isn't. So I would angle the vehicle to be safe. There is a deal on yelp when you check in. %20 off a heartbeat animal. The prices are very fair and comparable to other 4D Ultrasound places. The ultrasound tech is very knowledgeable and accommodating. She is willing to work with you to get the best pictures possible, especially if you arrive early to your appointment. Gender reveals can be here as well. The room is big can hold 10-15 people. Has a couch and a bench so you can have plenty of family and friends. I'll recommend this place to all my family and friends. And when my wife is pregnant again we will be stopping by.

    I absolutely love Shelly and her place!!! She went above and beyond to make sure we found out the gender before our party ! Baby was being stubborn and so she had us come back just to be 100% sure of the gender! AND I didn't know how I was going to do the reveal, I had a friend give me pink confetti (I was clearly convinced it was a girl) and so rather than buying two blue ones, she swapped mine out for the "right" color and hid the stickers so that way no one in the family had to know first! We all found out together !!! I seriously love Shelly's heart and excitement for what she does! She's truly a blessing ! Can't wait to come back !! Ps: the warm gel is the BEST on your tummy!!! It's the little things !

    We purchased the "Double the Fun" package which has the 4D luxury reveal and the Dreaming of You Session which is a 4D ultrasound after 30 weeks. I'm so glad we did this, it's definitely worth it. Our baby was uncooperative during the second ultrasound and he kept facing my back. Shelley was amazing and so patient. She gave us another session the following week free of charge so we could attempt to see his face and get better pictures. Shelley also gave us printed ultrasounds and a CD of pictures to take home. We can tell Shelley really loves what she does and she made our whole experience so much fun. We had all our family there and it was so memorable. Thank you so much!!!! Would 100% recommend to anyone expecting.

    Ask the Community - The Ultrasound Experience

    Hello, I am 25 weeks pregnant and would like to schedule a 4D ultrasound when my in-laws come visit in two weeks. Would it be possible to bring my mother and father-in-law, husband and our two kids?

    Hi Mary, Please give me a call at 760.744.3733 to schedule. Yes you may bring your family. I’m currently allowing 6 people total!

My experiences there were good so I hoped for the same. When I called to make an appointment and check to see if they'd receieved my referral the man I spoke to said I needed to just walk in for my X-ray. So several days later I did. The line was really long and the waiting room was full. It seemed as if they were short staffed. The woman at the desk was rushed but friendly. I filled out my paperwork and returned it. Then I waited. People just kept coming in so she couldn't process my paperwork for some time. The wait was quite long until the line died down and she could get to me. I waited a bit longer and was taken to the back. The xray tech who helped me took several images with different angles and I was on my way. It was easy, but the wait was a bit excessive. I don't live close but maybe the key is to come in when they open?

Kayti allowed me to be in active pushing for over 4 hours and expressed no concerns. My family pulled her aside on two occasions expressing their concerns regarding the prolonged time and belief that my baby was in jeopardy. Kayti insisted that it was completely safe for me to continue pushing. My family had to intervene and call 911 against her recommendation to get me to the hospital. Upon arrival, the hospital team catheterized within seconds. Kayti and team tried to do a catheterization multiple times at home and were unable to do so. My delivery and its aftermath revealed multiple critical health concerns which were related to a high stress prolonged birth: my baby's cord blood showed excess acidity, indicating high stress levels and posing a risk of brain damage; my baby's glucose levels were low, requiring 24 hours of monitoring; and my baby had difficulty regulating his body temperature, dropping as low as 94 degrees Fahrenheit, necessitating placement under a heating lamp. All these complications relate directly to a stressful and mismanaged labor.

    No words can truly describe the experience I had with Kayti but I will try my best to write it out…read more I was referred to Kayti from my doula Rosie. She was the first Midwife and the only midwife I called to interview. I instantly knew that she was going to be my midwife. The prenatal care that I had with Kayti was remarkable. My appointments with her were more than clinical. My husband and my toddler were able to come to the appointments. I truly felt that Kayti listened to everything I had to say. She really got to know me as a whole person medically and personally. Which is really needed when you are planning an intimate home birth. During my labor Kayti and her student, Amy were there for me every step of the way. I was never scared at any point of the birth. I put all my trust in them and felt supported the entire time. This says a lot because my labor was over 48 hours and I ended up transferring to the hospital because baby did not want to descend into my pelvis. I believe that Kayti did everything she could for me and my baby boy. When she told me that we needed to transfer. I knew it was the right decision. Even then, I felt like my baby and I were safe. We then transferred to the hospital and Kayti stayed with me and advocated for me until I had to go back for a cesarean. Post natal care was just as amazing. Since I did not get to have the birth that I had planned at home, Kayti planned a rebirth and a bone closing ceremony for me at my home at our last meeting together. That was exactly what I needed emotionally and spiritually. This just shows how thoughtful and loving Kayti is. My baby boy didn't come into this world as expected, but it was his own unique story and Kayti was apart of this unforgettable experience. I am forever grateful for her and Amy.

My original appointment was cancelled just 2 hours before the scheduled time because the doctor called in sick, and had to be rescheduled later in the week. During the rescheduled visit, Jose Ramirez called me about 20 minutes late. From the start of the call, I was repeatedly interrupted while trying to explain my symptoms. He acknowledged and apologized once, but the interruptions continued, making it difficult to communicate clearly or feel heard. I had already been evaluated by a physical therapist who recommended an MRI. After hearing my situation, Jose Ramirez agreed that an MRI would be a logical next step, but still refused to place the referral, stating it was "premature" and needed to be "documented through the hospital." He instead recommended anti-inflammatories and an X-ray. I asked directly whether an X-ray would show discs or nerve involvement, and he responded, "Absolutely not." After 3 weeks of significant pain and functional limitation, this felt like an unnecessary delay in care and a lack of clear clinical direction. The appointment felt rushed, difficult to navigate, and did not lead to any actionable next steps or resolution. Jose Ramirez was articulate and well polished like a good actor, but ultimately unprofessional and terribly unhelpful. At no point did I feel like my situation was being taken seriously or that I was receiving medical "care." Overall, this was a very, very frustrating and disappointing experience. I requested a different provider to move forward with and am actively looking to switch providers, entirely.

The parking situation has become very challenging since the hospital opened and there is often a bottleneck in and out of the free valet parking but that's just an annoyance. I have become increasingly frustrated by the time it takes to schedule elective appointments however. I was told I needed cataract surgery in June 2025. I didn't get a pre op appointment until 1/8/26. Recently I developed an issue with my scalp and wanted to see a different dermatologist than I'd seen in the past. His first appointment at that time (6/8/26) was at the end of September. I called the appointment line that day and made my request.

I was wondering at first and thinking how small is this area for parking to be a big of a problem. We came an hour early just to scout the place. They were not kidding.

Just like where I work.. it took us 20 minutes to find a parking space and was lucky to have it near the building where my appointment is. Reception wise, same as other Kaiser Permanente clinic or hospital I went to. In about less than 10 minutes, they called for my name and there's Ms Anna Lee and Mr Andrew receiving me warmly by the door. They brought me to my space and let me change into patient gown and Ms Anna Lee walked me through the procedure, Mr Andrew started my IV and I am very appreciative of him granting my request without questions. From there I already felt at ease and most of the questions in my head regarding the procedure were already explained. Few minutes passed and Mr Jonathan came in greeted me and introduced himself and took me to the procedure/sedation room. He also walked me through the things that will be done in that room. Mr. Cesar and Ms Kara were there as part of the team. Moments later, Dr Masters came in and explained to me what will transpire and ask me if I have questions. Procedure was done and all went well. I really appreciate being assigned to this team. They have exceeded my expectations. I was at ease and I have no doubts or questions during my visit. This is the quality of service I would like to have and also what I try to give to our patients as a healthcare personnel. Thank you so much to the whole team. Keep up the good work. :)

So, now, we've veered off the path and are headed over the cliff. Basically, the website is misleading. If your tech isn't coming in until later than 7:00 a.m., how about a little additional info on the website? And how is a patient supposed to know whether a tech will be at any particular location or not on any particular day? We just have to visit the location to find out? Umm, no. I STRONGLY urge you to make an appointment no matter what they say about no appointments necessary or what location you intend to visit. Given the (poor) service, I won't be visiting the Escondido location ever again, even though it's the most convenient one for me. In all fairness, the Oceanside location provided me with very good service.

    I already have written a long review at this True Care, West San Marcos Quick Care Medical Center…read more But I am updating my review now. I wanted to say that everyone of these 5 women employees that I talked to on Friday, June 2, 2023 when I had my appointment set up at 2:45 p.m. was very kind to me and their staff really cared about my medical condition while I was receiving care at this Quick Care facility. The medical assistant I forgot her name but she was so easy to talk to and she made me feel very comfortable when she greeted me with a friendly hello and she talked to me about my health condition. and she was so nice and very caring to me. This medical assistant first told me to stand on this digital scale so she can get my accurate weight and record my weight down on my medical chart and she said I can access my medical records using their website called www.my chart.com. I just need to create a user name and a password to sign into my personal account. I said that is a great way to see my medical information on their secure website. I can also order my prescription medication on this website my chart. com. Plus view any laboratory tests if I get them taken at this Quick Care Clinic. This medical assistant she also took my Blood Pressure and my Oxygen reading using this digital machine I needed to put the second finger on my right hand inside this device it look like a close pin with a long cable attached to this machine. It measures my oxygen level in my heart. My blood pressure reading was really good and it was within the normal range. My oxygen reading results was very good and the oxygen level was normal. That was a good sign for my medical condition. The medical assistant told me to cut back on eating too much salt in my meals because if my salt levels are too high then it will cause both of my legs to become swollen and cause my legs to be achy and sore. I said okay. I was diagnosed last year with this medical condition called Edema. Edema is caused when someone has careers as a cashier, bank teller, working in a restaurant, working in the retail industry, a pharmacy business, a mechanic in the automotive business and also working in the Administrative Office line of work. When someone is working full time or even a part time job when someone has to stand up all day long in one place and also sitting too long working on a computer like I have as an Administrator for over 10 years. I also worked as a Sales Associate and a Cashier the Retail Industry for 5 years. I had to stand up working on a full time basis that was 40 hours a week. I was not allowed to walk around in my cashiering position. I was only allowed to walk back to the break room and to walk back to my lunch room. For right now, things are getting much better for people who work in these places but it's not very healthy to work on a long term basis where people are either standing up too long or sitting down in a chair and working on a computer too long . Both of these things will shorten your life. I will be starting an exercise program in a few days from today to get my legs moving again in walking outside or inside my home on my treadmill. It's necessary to have some salt content in my diet but moderation is the key to everything I will be doing from now on to live longer. The Medical Assistant told me Dr. Bernardo has worked for the Quick Care Center for almost 2 years now. Dr. Bernardo was also very kind to me. This was my first visit and my first time meeting with Dr. Bernardo. Dr. Bernardo explained my medical condition to me and then she examined my right leg and the back of my right leg where the calf muscle was very swollen and inflamed with redness and my right leg was very painful that I could hardly stand the discomfort of having to walk with a cane to get around last Friday. This facility Quick Care is basically for patients who are not able to see their primary care doctor sooner then their scheduled appointment. So these people including myself are able to get an appointment with another doctor much sooner for medical reasons. I had a really good experience with the medical assistant, the receptionist, and the doctor. I highly recommend this Quick Care Clinic.
