Oceanside Urgent Care + Family Practice

I moved to Oceanside a few months ago and needed an emergency Tetanus shot. I was so relieved to be able to get right into Oceanside Urgent Care. I was in and out very quick with no complications and very little wait.

I have come to the office for several other routine and non routine check ups over the months and wouldn't go anywhere else. The office is so cute and homie and also very clean. The staff is always so friendly and even though there have been staffing changes over the months that I've been going there I've still been really happy with the way I'm treated at this office. Jeff Holter is great and very knowledgeable and Jacquelin the Manager always remembers me and is very helpful. Going to the doctor sucks but they make it easy and pain free!

Avoid this scam
At ALL cost! Unless you want to pay 125 for the "doc" to tell you to take ibuprofen and drink water like I already have been doing for a cracked tooth! Could've saved $125, anywhere could of taken better care of my well-being than this dump. A complete scam and robbed for my money for a 5 minute visit that the doctor pushed on my swollen tooth an made the pain way worse! To come back to tell me take ibuprofen. Like I already haven't been taking that medication ahhhh what a nightmare!!

My Husband just went to this place for a piece of metal in his eye. They took him into the room where he waited for over an hour for them to come in and tell him that they didn't have the magnet needed to get the metal out of his eye. They knew this when he first got there and still put him in a room and made him wait. He wasted all that time that he could have been at the right place to get the help he needed.
Thank goodness he didn't pay the $125 for this waste of time.

I saw Dr. Meyer today for an initial appt for THYROID AND HRT.
I recently moved to area and he was recommended to me.
The girl working front desk was very nice and informative.
Dr. Meyer was the sweetest man. The wrote me an order to
have my labs drawn and evaluated.

I like this place!

You can go ahead and remove whatever you want from your review but I have copies of your previous writing and I have already taken it to the appropriate authorities .
Oceanside Urgent care has no authorization to disclose my personal information to the public .
Why are they writing on their response to my review that I am an immigrant? Your response is prejudice and it has the purpose to cause me harm . If I am harassed by the public I will seek legal Assistence.

Regarding the response to my review . First I am American , I was not comparing your service to any other country yet but I should because even Mexico has a better care than yours and I am not Mexican , France it's even better, free health care there for visitors .
Regarding the medication prescribe to me , I will not take it because my current doctor from another facility advised me not to use that medication it's not suitable for my condition, at his office my blood pressure read 133/92 , no medication should have been prescribed , much less without an advise of a real doctor.
My health and my life is a very important to me and it shouldn't be in the hands of incompetent people like you .

5 stars! I really like the waiting room. They have tranquil music, coffee, tea and it's just really a different type of environment to be in when you're at the dr. Very relaxing, spa- like atmosphere.

I have to add on to my review to say a special thank you to Randy for always fitting me in when I have an emergency. You guys are so helpful and always make me feel better when I call. Other providers in the past make it seem like it's a bother when you need to be seen and unsure if they have time for you. I call Oceanside Urgent care and Randy's motto is always come on In so we can get you to feeling better. Thank you So much! You can tell Randy and the entire staff truly care about your health.

I also buy my supplements here. They carry Pure brand supplements. I buy my complex B and Vitamin D pills here and they are better priced than online.

I've gone here for several issues. Each time I never waited longer than 10 minutes and always enjoyed my conversation with Randy. They have their own pharmacy inside but can't fill ever prescription under the sun. The nurses there are quite incredible and caring. Everyone here is very diligent and friendly. I love their waiting room set up and always feel completely comfortable coming her with any issue that I have. They have a vitamin bar!! As a veggie eater B-12 is something I lack so getting the B-12 shot while I'm there for a visit is easy. Overall you're going to be well taken care of, carefully examined, and offered the best care. The whole staff is incredible.

If you have fever symptoms, don't come here. Go to CVS with an appointment for a free covid test and buy some Robitussin. Just saved you a pointless trip to sit for over an hour and a half to find out what you already knew. Doctor recommended fluids, Tylenol, robitussin, and wouldn't take my temperature with an actual thermometer. They charged me $125 (deductible) and their covid test is $200.

Jacqueline lied on my name and reported to my caregiving company that I had abused my client in front of her. She made up an entire lie about me being "rude and grabbing my client and cursing during his visit."

Well, needless to say, I'm still loved very much by my client and THAT IS A FAKE CLAIM!

I should probably report this girl.

They also poked him for an entire hour for blood work, with three different girls attempting to do so with no avail.

Then, after begging them to stop and find a better way to help my client, they sent me somewhere else to do what I originally asked for!!!!

All we asked for was a finger poke blood test but they lied and told me California requires a full bottle. Sooooo, hoooow come after hurting my client and bruising up veins, YOU TELL ME TRI-CITY can do the finger test???????!

This post has been long over due. *Lengthy post ahead*.

Health background:
I have paid multiple visits to Oceanside Urgent Care and Family Practice, and they have always exceeded my expectations.
As a young mother, grad-student, while student-teaching, my schedule is extremely impacted. Often times, the stress of my demanding schedule makes my body become inflamed to the point where I am unable to walk. Or it happens randomly... I have Degenerative Disc Disease in my lumbosacral spine, scoliosis, sciatica (ouch) and neuropathy in my hands. My mysterious pain onset began in childhood and it's anxiety inducing.

Five Stars:
Randy is the best: He is a welcoming and a comforting presence. He is also extremely knowledgable about insurance providers, and will even get on the phone with them to make sure you do not end up with a large bill months later.

Cleanliness: 10/10

Bedside Mannor: 10/10

Prompt: 15-20mins for per visit/follow-up & 30-45 mins when it's crowded.
I recommend calling Randy ahead of time to schedule an appointment.

Professionalism: Randy, and the staff has met all my needs as a patient.
In my experience, it takes 4-8 weeks to get into see my providers. Whether it is my primary care doctor, or my referrals to Neurology. Not to mention that drive is nearly 1 hour away every time. That being said, I am often inflamed or running out of my medications before I can see my primary. Randy and all the staff has been extremely objective with me, and treats me as an adult suffering with pain. Historically due to my "young age", the vast majority of practitionors did not believe my chronic conditions, despite hard copies of evidence in front of them.

Patient's voice matters in your healthcare plan: During my intake, I told staff that I have extreme inflammation, from my issues. A Toradol shot helps me with immediate suffering along with the combination of Naproxen and Mobic. At times I get severe panic and anxiety due to my health issues, so thankfully the Doctor offered a reasonable solution for that. I have *never* experienced doctors suggesting pain meds as part of my treatment, which makes me feel at easy to come here.

Compassion: Most importantly, O-side Family Practice has brought justice to my chronic conditions, and has helped me advocate with my medical team about what is/isn't working well for me. I feel like their team are the only ones to offer sympathy for my situation.

Thank you for all of your help!
