The Best 13 highly rated medical facilities near Temecula, CA (Page 3)

Carla Rosa I work in an ER so i avoid hospitals cause i see how staff treats people and that makes me not want to go! But today i went to southwest for the first time and had a great experience from beginning to end! Its literally been 10 years since i had been in an ER! The nurses were so helpful and patience and especially nice! Made me feel comfortable! All hospitals are currently so busy but they treated me with priority either way got me in and out of there! Saw the PA Tom also great! I wish i had gotten the nurses names they were both so sweet and helpful!

Kat M The wait is ridiculous amd the time on their website is incorrect, so be aware that their 5mins is actually 5hrs and thats if youre lucky. I shouldve gone to Rancho Springs. Its unfortunate that some nurses will do their job while others just milk the clock and wait for patients to get frustrated to finally do what theyre getting paid for. The ER PAs and the RNs with the exception of a couple should really take a class on bedside manners because they lack it. Patients will be more understanding if they actually learned to sympathize with their patients.

John Cusack Finally, I connected with an amazing facility, an incredible case manager, and a staff that provided the necessary care to make it possible for my friend to finally be accepted in a rehabilitation program that could save her life. Thank you Temecula Valley Hospital for having a a rock star like Dale Hagen, and a dedicated support staff of nurses, doctors, and therapists taht made it alll happen. You are sincerely aprreciated.

Cathryn Steir My father had knee surgery here on Monday. The best part was the nurse, Brittany, she was prompt and super kind. The experience we had with his doctor was less to be desired. When my mom told him she wanted my dad to go home ASAP, they told her he needed to go into a nursing home. Which is not where he belongs.then he got the physical therapist to say the same and discharged

Lindsay Rogers I came to this ER with symptoms of carbon monoxide exposure, including lethargy, lightheadedness, difficulty breathing, nausea, and a headache. While the actual medical care I received was appropriate, my overall experience was frustrating due to poor initial triage, dismissive attitudes, and hostage-like delays in discharge. Upon arrival, I was not immediately assessed or even asked what was wrong. Instead, I was told to sit and wait, despite experiencing symptoms that could have led to unconsciousness. It took 30 minutes to get into an ER room and another 15-20 minutes before I was seen by a doctor—a concerning delay for a potentially life-threatening condition. Once I was in a room, I received oxygen therapy, an EKG, X-rays, and a CT scan. However, the physician I saw was patronizing and dismissive, questioning how I knew my home’s CO levels despite my detector alarming at over 300 ppm. The most frustrating part was at discharge. Despite being medically stable, I was prevented from leaving until the fire department checked my home. When I was finally allowed to leave, staff made dismissive remarks about my concerns, further underscoring their lack of patient-centered care. The medical care itself was fine, but the poor triage process, dismissive physician, and refusal to respect my autonomy made this a stressful and disappointing experience. I would not return to this ER unless absolutely necessary.

Sage Witty Cut my finger off last weekend and the nurses were awesome, best time I’ve ever had in an emergency room. Kiley and Haley took great care of me the entire time i waited for surgery. Hopefully i won’t return but if i do i hope they’re working.

skyler scudero I went to the Temecula ER last night. Now, the staff is extremely friendly but aren’t helpful whatsoever. I came in feeling like I either had an upper respiratory infection or bronchitis I also have asthma so either of those would make it flair up. I told the staff that I hadn’t been able to eat all day because I was in so much pain so after they gave me a breathing treatment the nurse gave me 3 prednisone’s knowing I hadn’t eaten knowing you’re suppose to eat when you take this and the minute I got home I unfortunately threw all of it up. Also upon my discharge, I was diagnosed with an “asthma attack” when I clearly told them all of my symptoms. Coughing, discolored phlegm, pain and trouble breathing. Save yourself the trip and go to the ER in Oceanside not only will they take what you say seriously they won’t misdiagnose you.

Scofield Andrew (Andy) 5/23 I went to the ER in excruciating pain. Spent the night in the ER and they confirmed I had life threatening blood clots. Two doctors felt I needed to be admitted. An hour later a doctor I had never seen before said I was being discharged without treatment. I told them I thought it was a bad idea. I was discharged anyway and sent home with a prescription. 5/24 I was in so much pain I had to go back to the ER. The doctor who sent me home said he was wrong about my blood clots. I was admitted and they started more tests resulting in surgery to remove the clots in my leg. The next morning the Nurse Practitioner who worked for the ER/family doctor who made the mistake of sending me home untreated decided to discharge me against my wishes and my request to use the Medicare protection. The Cardiologist covering for the one who did the surgery told me he was going to make sure I was not discharged but I was anyway and he was ignored. I went home and the pain and swelling returned worse. 5/26 I went back to the ER and they ran tests again and found out they had made a life threatening mistake again. Clots had reformed and worse in leg and lungs. They half admitted me and I have been in limbo between admitted and not since. The cardiologist team regrouped and came up with a new plan. I’m still in limbo ER and I am terrified that they will make a third mistake and kill me. I wrote a Google review and someone responded that they want to know more about their mistakes. I went to the hospital website and submitted in there Contact us that I was downstairs in the limbo ER and I would be happy to discuss their near fatal money motivated medical care mistakes. I also gave my email and phone number. I have heard nothing and it appears that they responded simply to appear as though they care about their patients. I’m still in the limbo ER while their third try in put in place but no one has reached out or just walked downstairs to talk to me. Money and bonuses are the focus not patient care even when they have made two life threatening mistakes and they don’t know if it’s fixed yet. Good doctors, specialists and nurses have told me they are trying but they are not listened to and overruled by family doctors and Nurse Practitioner who have already made two decisions that they have said were mistakes and were life threatening to me. I am terrified I am going to die to ensure profits and bonuses from financial not medical decisions. They ignored my Medicare request for more time to get it right. If I do die it will be because the CFO has authority over the medical staff. I have been going to this hospital since it opened. It used to be driven by patient care but that is gone. I’m afraid and laying in the limbo ER on a heparin drip waiting for them to kick me to the curb still medically at risk of dying unnecessarily. My 14 year old daughter is at home waiting for her dad and I am not sure I am going to get help so I can take care of her. Lost my wife, her mom, to breast cancer December 2022. Be for-warned if you need care.

Beverly J. Ortiz Son went to TVH ER because of knee pain(swollen and throbbing) that had him limping and barely able to walk but was told that since it was not a life threatening emergency they could not help him. Keep in mind that he has IEHP and so they most likely turned him away because he’s cash poor. I have never heard of an ER telling a patient that their leg would have to be severed or crushed and dangling for them to be able to help them. The doctor ACTUALLY said this. I’m appalled and disgusted with the discriminatory, ineptitude that obviously goes on at this hospital.

Khorshid Davtalab I have been a patient of Dr. Anita Jackson for at least 7 years now. She has helped me so much. The staff has always been extremely helpful and friendly. Highly recommended for anyone. My only complaint is the nurse practitioner. She was incompetent and very rude. I will be very happy when Anita Jackson returns from her vacation. I recommend anyone to see Dr. Anita Jackson, but the nurse practitioner is a definite note for me

Chiara Squillace I love this place, I’m so surprised they don’t have more stars. I am here to fix that. Always pay good attention, listen to your needs, super friendly staffing, answers phone calls quickly and directs you in case of urgent situations. I have a severe life threatening illness, Lupus, and I trust these guys with my life. Thank you for keeping good care of me and always there when I need you. Finding good Doctors are hard now a days. Both myself and my mom see both Doctors at this location and we love them!

Fernando Marquez I have been a patient with Dr Jackson for over 15 years. I would like to thank her for all caring and professional with all my medical issues throughout all these years and thank her temecula staff it is blessing to have her to be my MD

Alex If you need an annual physical with this provider as a new patient, you’d first have to pay to become an “established patient” ($310 Office/outpatient visit, new). After that, you can get your annual physical with the 2nd appointment. More clarity on this practice will be much more appreciated during scheduling. I was not made aware of this practice when I scheduled and visited the office as a new patient. I was very specific about my annual physical for my company’s wellbeing incentive program. If the provider was sincere and honest with its fist time patient about the annual physical, I believe on paperwork or the office staff should make it clear to that a new patient is “NOT” allowed to have annual physical done on the first visit. First you need to be an established patient to receive annual physical on a 2nd visit. For anyone who already has a primary doctor, you may want to reconsider switching to this provider for your annual physical. The office does not have a phone extension connecting you to the person handling your billing. I jumped through many hoops to finally connect with someone who handles the billing. Her name is Joy. She explained the whole process to me and was unwilling to correct the CPT code. My Anthem insurance does have a CPT code specific to annual physical for a new patient. But Joy was still unwilling to change the CPT code to annual physical because she claimed that I received additional medical services that the annual physical would not cover. The additional medical services she referred to was inquiring information on birth control and other health related topics. Joy told me that these questions and consultation was not covered under annual physical. My recommendation/Path going forward: 1. The right expectation. A new patient will need to pay for the first visit to become an “established patient” to receive annual physical in a 2nd appointment. 2. If you want to consult any health topic during your annual physical, you make sure you get things in writing that you will not be billed for it. Have the correct annual physical CPT code ready for your provider during your annual physical visit to prevent any later surprise to you billing statement. 3. Ill go through California Department of Insurance to file FD-1 form for suspect of medical provider fraud under labor code section 3828

Maureen Osborn Do not go here very unorganized & a very unprofessional doctor Anita Jackson should not be treating patients! She literally has no compassion for her patients! I brought my 93 year old mom there & she didn’t even let her talk then when I tried to explain my moms symptoms she just stated it’s just due to your age! She literally left the room & never came back until the assistant came back in room & I told her how unprofessional that was & she must of heard me talking then came back in room with attitude! I told her she should let patients talk so that they can get treated correctly! I told her how unprofessional it was to leave room & that she needs to work on having some compassion for her patients! She didn’t seem to care! Horrible doctor!!!

Brittany Childrens Primary Medical Group is located here.

Chris Vickers Staff turnover. New staff seems disorganized, slow prescription approval process, poor communication, long office wait times, remote visits are not very useful and not worth the time or money.

Tina Schlindwein Horrible cant get #

sandra morrison Nice guy- his wife is ALSO the same kind of Dr! I love her!

ANDRES PI MEDICAL ASSISTANT = HORRIBLE THIS IS A WC OFFICE - Stay AWAY!

Michael Guevara This place is slow, the doctor is slow, every time I’m in here I wish I could be seeing a doctor who is better and respects peoples time, most patients here in the lobby are angry because of the wait time. Worst office I have ever been to.

Janine Love I totally agree with the other review. I have been to many doctor practices in my life, and this practice is run like a bad auto shop. I got in to see this doctor after waiting quite a bit and having xrays done. Saw him in his office, not an exam room, and he had obviously just had lunch with food stains on his sweater. I waited over an hour just to get my prescription from them, and was shuffled out of there after. After having my MRI completed, was brought back in and told my Dr Ahmeds Associate that I would need yet another MRI w/contrast as this one showed some unexplainable things. They would "Call" in my prescription refills, which never happened, and you could never get anyone on the phone to make that happen again. Knowing that they deal mostly with workmen comp situations, the office just felt very "Shady" to me, and I will never go back there. Horrible, Horrible Experience.

Lisseika Ceballos If I can get thing has zero I will give them that when I get my first appointment in November I wait almost 2 hours and them the doctor have difficult to to talk I cant understand what he was saying send me to do some x-rays and son other things they never make me appointment for that. then I have a appointment the 9 of January never do the x-ray and they never in the office and whent they in the office they said is no one in the Temecula office when they fill out my paperwork they put the wrong year and wait almost 3 week to to get it right. Dont go there bad.

L I went in to see Dr Satinder Mann for a nerve conduction test. She was absolutely wonderful and kept me feeling comfortable through out the whole test. This isnt a pain free type thing either. Super grateful that I was able to see her because this was the best experience Ive had with a doctor throughout my health troubles. She was very knowledgeable, explained every step of the way and was able to give me great advice. I wish she could be my doctor permenantly.

Kristelline "Shady" is not the word for this inefficient and unprofessional medical practice! Monday of this week, my boyfriend and I drove from East San Diego County to Temecula for his appointment. The absent Dr Ahmed was supposed to evaluate the condition of my boyfriends hand which was injured at work on a construction site. My boyfriend is quite familiar having had several appointments here before where he always waited atleast 2 hours (sometimes 3 hours or more). He even walked out after 3 hours of waiting on one of those occasions. Anyway, this time he waited in a large empty waiting area for over 2 hours before seen by a woman Dr. Gany (sp?) She had no business card that they could give me when asked. They could tell me nothing about her. So I asked how do you spell her name? I asked the receptionist if she could write it on the paper given to my boyfriend. Up in the upper left corner she scribbled what appeared to be "Dr. Gany". (pronounced "Johnny") Every time I spoke, this guy dressed in scrubs came out to answer my questions and then he would disappear. We dont know who he was. This same situation took place many months earlier before the workers comp settlement was paid to my boyfriend. Apparently, a mystery women saw him in an appointment where she stated that he definitely needed surgery on his hand (although his hand was not the only injury suffered in the accident). Nevertheless, the court could not make judgement based on her recommendation because my boyfriend could not produce her name. Because of this, his settlement was significantly less than it would have been had he known who she was. Not to mention, that this office failed to submit documentation of her recommendation. I guess they did not know who she was either. Not only that, but all that was done in the exam room was his vitals were taken and that was it. The receptionist out front wrote up two prescriptions for pain medication that he says dont help. Why in the hell was he there? He doesnt know and I sure dont know. Do you? I wonder what effect this will have on the civil suit currently being investigated for this same accident.... Im sure we shall see.

Val Smith JUST HORRIBLE!!!!! My husband and I have a great insurance and picked a doctor in our network. My husband waited 1 1/2 to be seen. They didnt have his records like they said that they would. We will DEFINITELY NOT be going back to the place again.

Cindy Chavez Took my son back in December to the Loma Linda University Medical Center and they have my insurance on file yet I would always receive a letter weeks later that I owe a certain amount. I would call and they would put my insurance through again and the last time I spoke with an employee about this, he stated I didnt have to worry anymore. Now, I received a letter saying I owe about $700???? My insurance covers everything so theres no need for me to pay ANYTHING at all. This is ridiculous.

Melanie Lui Received good care the ER at Temecula Valley Hospital while on a trip to CA from Hawaii. However, the billing (Laperouse) for the the ER doctor sucks! They sent me a bill for the full amount. When I called they said they did not have my health insurance info (dual coverage). I gave them the info. A month later they send me a "Final Notice" bill for the full amount. Fortunately, I called my insurance carrier and they said a claim was in process. When I called Laperouse, the guy said to just disregard the bill. Hoping that the claim goes through soon and that I dont hear again from the billing company!

Kim When I was seen in emergency, I asked for the total amount of my bill after insurance. I paid the balance of my bill and was told by Loma Linda I was paid in full. 6 months later, I received a collection account on my credit report plunging my score by 70 points. Since I had receipts saying I was paid in full and they got authorization from my insurance company I didnt expect this to happen. After discussing with the hospital apparently the doctor added extra charges for what I dont know. The hospital couldnt provide me with anything. Im working now to resolve it.

Poseidon Del Mar I went in to see them and gave them my personal information--including my insurance card--and a co-pay of $300. 4 months later I receive a letter from a collections agency saying Im delinquent on a bill. I called to follow up on it because I hadnt even received a bill. The lady I spoke with was quite condescending. She said something along the lines of "we sent you three bills. Theres no way you didnt receive any of them." I was baffled but how could I dispute it. I didnt remember getting a single bill, let alone 3. She said that shed check my information to see if she could research it a bit further. She asked me my address and I told her. She said "that matches the address you put on your form but not the address we have on file." Instead of using the address that I gave them--which is also the address on my insurance card--they used a past address that I had on my drivers license. I had moved and hadnt changed the address on my license yet. The multiple bills they sent me were going to a different address. I was furious and reminded her that because of their mess-up, I have a bill in collections. She apologized, pulled the bill back from collections, and sent me a new one...which I promptly paid. HOWEVER, there were 2 bills from the hospital. One was a doctor bill and one was facility bill. I learned this while on the phone. Of course I was unaware of this second bill as well. It had also been sent to my past address. I asked her to resend that bill as well. She said she couldnt because it was the other side of the hospital. She said shed call them and then call me back the next day with a resolution. I asked her how I could contact her directly if I didnt hear back from her. She promised me shed call me back. She didnt. I just received another letter from a collections company because of this second bill. Now I have to battle it all over again.

Mar K Believe the reviews regarding billing with Temecula Valley Emergency Medical Associates and believe the reviews about sub par medical care from this group. I went to Temecula Valley Hospital Emergency Room with severe back pain. Dr. Whitney Darnetia Johnson not only misdiagnosed my injury, she also did not respond to the requests from my Insurance Company for additional information. Now some collection agency is hounding me for a bill that I do not owe and that my insurance company has confirmed that I do not owe. I was misdiagnosed with Back muscle spasm; Lower back pain by Dr. Johnson. She said the severe sciatica was due to a muscle spasm in my lower back. That was not the case and the x-ray taken in the Emergency Room, while I was lying down is, according to my Spine Surgeon, an ineffective way to diagnose back injuries. Her aftercare advise which included applying heat and stretching was very, very, wrong for this type of injury and had the potential to make things much worse. Thankfully, I was able to see a competent physician the following Monday and had an immediate MRI and a series of X rays taken while I was in the standing position. The MRI revealed a Lumbar Vertebrae had actually slipped out of place, I had several bulging discs, and severe sciatica on my left side. I was in an incredible amount of pain. I absolutely 100% recommend that you do not use Temecula Valley Hospital Emergency and avoid this Quack doctor group. (since I have to give at least one star - that star is for the Emergency Room nurse that repeatedly called Dr. Johnson and let her know I was in severe pain- which this Doctor chose to ignore.)
