List 8 Doctor of Medicine (MD) near Chula Vista, CA (part 3)

Gabrielle Felix Please do yourself a favor and do not see Dr. Polak. I had an appointment scheduled for 1:30pm, but I got a call from the office saying they would be able to take me in earlier. I arrived there at 12:15pm, I was not seen until 2:30pm, then I had to wait for a referral and prescription… I did not leave the office until 3:30pm. So unless you have a few hours blocked off in your day, don’t expect this to be a quick visit. Beware of what her diagnosis is as well. I went in for an ear infection and came out diagnosed with an ear infection, thrush??, and a mass on my breast.?? I was terrified and do not wish that anxiety on anyone. I’ve have obviously changed doctors.

Rzecore Pua This clinic is the WORST!!!! All of the people working there are doing nothing, from the people working on the front desk and the doctors. I know the wait time of your scheduled appointment takes forever but not only that, i’ve been calling them since last week for one of my mom’s diabetes medicine. And weekend have past, 1 week have past, nothing! I called my mom’s insurance to check the status of the delay and insurance was really nice to do a 3 way call of me, insurance and the clinic to make sure the pre-authorization form for the medicine will be signed by the doctor but until now nothing. FYI, i was rushing the clinic because my parents are going out of the country for about 3 months. And tomorrow they will be leaving San Diego so i guess my mom will not bring any diabetes medicine with her on her vacation. People here are no brainer to distinguish the urgent matters and not. I hope they see this but im sure nothing’s gonna change... I’ve been reading some reviews and all same comments, and until now they are still slow… slow on paperworks and slow on seeing their patients.

Brandi hill Brought my 72 year old mom here twice and both times we were here for 4 plus hours... both times with appointments... zero sense of urgency... zero actual care for the patient... I mean 4 hours is how long you wait at the emergency room... it shouldnt be how long you wait with an appointment. If you cant meet with patients in a reasonable amount of time you should probably book less appointments at those times. On top of that the Dr pulled her mask down several times while talking to my super high risk mother... if anyone should know better I would think it would be her Dr. Just insane. If you can go somewhere else I would recommend it.

Yasser Abdel-Aziz If you value your time, dont go there. If you take an appointment at 3, and go half an hour early to be sure, you will be seen by 8 at best! Thats what happened to me. When calling them in the phone. They will keep you waiting for very very long. Dr. Polka is nice. But there are so many other doctors out there who are nice and wont make you wait for 5 hours after your set appointment time. Its simply ridiculous. This didnt just happen once. But every single time. I did speak to her about it, she simply told me next time schedule your appointment with one of her junior doctors. So I decided to look for a new doctor all together. By giving them 1 star, Im doing them a service. Maybe that will reduce the number of patients and they wont have to wait for so long!

Stephen Rieder Had an 11AM appointment with Dr. Polak, I arrived and signed in at precisely 10:25AM and filled out the new patient paperwork. A full hour later at 11:35 AM I was taken to the examination room and had my vitals ( weight, BP and 02 etc.) checked. Then I waited and waited and waited some more. The office did not seem overly busy to begin with and after a full 2 and half hour wait in that exam room they had actually run out all of the time I had to get through the appointment and go and get my prescriptions refilled. When I realized I had to leave without receiving ANY care whatsoever I was pretty depressed as I am having a physical ailment that I need a doctor to help me with. This was by far the worst experience I have ever had with an appointment at a physicians office ( I have had slammed ER and Urgent Care visits that took less time)! My advice is to avoid this practice as they apparently either overbook appointments habitually or perhaps maybe even just dont care at all about their patients.

Kristopher Vega I had an appointment today and I got told to leave because I did not have a face mask. If it is dire, for us to aquire face masks, wouldnt your office or any department have face masks in case of a situation like mine? I feel very discriminated for the fact that I didnt have a face mask. I would understand if I didnt want to wear one but I didnt have any and I asked around the entire building and not one person was able to provide me with one. I will never let my friends or family come here. Wasted a day out of my job.

estrellapacifico dancerforever I went to the emergency room yesterday blood pressure 202 not sure of bottom number, back and neck pain also anxiety was and is really high?. The Dr on staff was really rude! He told me and at the end of my visit that I had come there for nothing, (was It because I am African American)? He said I didn’t look like a person who come to the emergency room a lot! And he was thinking that I looked like I shouldn’t be there! The nurse was in the room with theDr. and I! What did that have to do with me being there with my blood pressure numbers at 202/ not sure of the bottom number! I ask him what should my numbers be to go to hospital, he said 235(top numbers) he did give me a bottom number! Online it said to call ambulance if numbers or 180/120! Wow!!!! So to me that was an indirect way of saying to be almost dead before going! They ran test on my heart my heart was fine. So because my heart looked fine, I wasn’t treated for any of my issues no pain or anxiety meds. When I left my BP had fallen to 77/101 he said I was fine. Wow so I woke this morning (thanks to God) with really bad back pain, anxiety still bad and blood pressure still high and a very high bill coming. Wow! Really! To bad I can’t just change the color of my skin to get proper care and without judgement before even getting to the counter! To get the care that I am paying for! I’m in bad pain, anxiety and high blood pressure and upset about not getting the treated and respect from that morning shift Dr. he will still get paid for not giving proper care because of him judging me before I even got to the counter! WOW! I respect people regardless of the color of there skin or walk of life! I thought doctors had too do the same they took an oath to care for people probably without judgement!? WOW!!!!!!!!

justin rivera As a parent I want to be with my spouse for support during her doctor exams. OBGYN Dr. Levine’s office discriminates against fathers by not allowing them to come inside during the visit even though we are either fully vaccinated or taking precautions against Covid (temp check, face mask, etc). Fathers/partners should be allowed into doctor visitation if the mother is also ok with it. Fathers have rights also and this office is discriminating against us.

Shae (A mile in my shoes) I waited in the er for 4 hours to get xrays. The wait time is long and horrible. Updated 10 july 2022 I have since went to them for another visit. I thought I had covid and at the time there wasnt an easy way to get tested. It took me 2hrs for a covid test with symptoms to just be seen. Sharp is undermanned as most places. It is really bad when you have to choose between to horrible companies of scripps or sharp.

Janina Diez Complaining about discharge instructions in every Sharp hospitals i have been. I can download better and more precise instructions of how to take care of whatever is done. And it is basically what sharp does everytime only that they chose the worst. They do not specify and I am really lost on how to take care of the insicion made.

Trish Power I hate your automated answering service!
