The fifth time I called, it connected me to a live person, who was able to give me the email address I asked for. Also, I was informed that Blue Coast Cardiology does not have a website. This is fine. However, it should be shared in a simple statement, on search engine sites like google, Facebook and others, that their information, that they do not have a website, and that they have an automated voice front desk. The automated voice, should give the address, and the option to speak with a live person. Their doctors are very good.

The office staff was really kind to me. I really appreciated that. The TV in the waiting room was…read moresometimes too loud. They had the nature channel on so sometimes it showed animals attacking each other which was a little unpleasant. The waiting room itself was nice. Dr. Bui was really friendly and kind on the first visit. On the second visit, not so much. She was brutally honest about what she thought about me. On one hand, I could appreciate her honesty, but she was very wrong in her judgment. I had a test done that proved I had a medical problem. She told me that she took back what she said about me. That was really nice of her. On the third and fourth visit, she was better. I don't dislike Dr. Bui as a person, but as a doctor, I think she should have not been so quick to judge. Or at least she could have kept what she thought to herself and let the tests show her what was going on. The second visit was just awkward and felt weird. I would not recommend her to family and friends because I don't think they would like her personality. If she would have said to them what she said to me, they wouldn't have gone back for more testing and treatment. I don't think this doctor is for everyone. You need to be persistent when you know something is wrong despite what the doctor may say.

I am sharing my experience with Family Health Centers of Escondido in the hope that it encourages…read moreimprovements in patient care. My sister passed away in April 2026. Despite notifying the clinic multiple times of her death, I have now received three calls attempting to schedule follow-up appointments for her. That alone reflects a concerning lack of communication within the organization. Unfortunately, this was consistent with our experience while she was alive. My sister had multiple complex medical conditions, yet obtaining coordinated care was unnecessarily difficult. Communication was poor, medication lists and diagnoses were often inaccurate, and correcting errors in her medical record proved extremely frustrating. Some examples include: Her chart repeatedly listed coronary artery disease and hypertension, neither of which she had. I had to continually request that the Primary Care Physician removed them from her chart. An incorrect fax from her primary care office led to her life-sustaining Midodrine being discontinued at her memory care facility, resulting in a syncopal episode and urgent medical evaluation. Her gallbladder surgery was delayed after surgical clearance was withheld for mildly low potassium. While waiting for another appointment, her biliary drain became dislodged, requiring emergency surgery at another hospital. When hospice became appropriate, the referral was sent to the wrong agency despite prior discussions, causing unnecessary frustration during an already difficult time. Throughout her care, messages often went unanswered, and communication seemed focused more on administrative processes than resolving patient needs. I worked as a Nurse Practitioner for over 30 years and understand that no healthcare system is perfect. However, accurate medical records, clear communication, and coordinated care are basic standards. In our experience, those standards were too often missing. We remained with Family Health Centers only because appointment availability was better than many alternatives, which was critical given how medically fragile my sister was. I sincerely hope the organization reviews its processes and improves the quality and coordination of care. Based on our experience, I cannot recommend this clinic.

Dr. Balfour took the time to genuinely listen, thoroughly evaluate my history, and clearly explain my diagnosis, prognosis, and long-term management plan. He provided more clarity, guidance, and direction in a single three-hour visit than I have received over the past two years combined. The office has been exceptional in coordinating referrals to appropriate specialists and ensuring continuity of care. Their responsiveness, compassion, and depth of knowledge are rare. I am incredibly grateful to have found a practice that prioritizes both clinical excellence and patient understanding. I highly recommend Dr. Balfour and his team to anyone seeking thoughtful, comprehensive neurological care.

You don't dismiss the elderly like that .if she doesn't like her job than quit theirs no need to be rude.
