Urgent Care near National City

“Came here for pre- employment physical. They were all very nice and helpful. I came without an appointment but asked if I could come in another day and they offered me an appointment. Everyone I interacted with was awesome . Thank you!!“

“It took a long time to see doctor and not sure exactly the outcome but it was through and what I think was required so all in all it was good.“

“Highly recommended. Monea is kind and friendly. We had a very good experience with her practice.“

“Four stars for the Pearlman clinics in general but five stars for the San Marcos location. We are a cash paying customer so in looking for a new primary care physician I did a lot of research before choosing a practice. After landing on the Pearlman clinics, I then researched all of the clinics in North County, as well as each of the doctors or physician assistance that were on site. I do not take choosing Healthcare lightly and wanted to be certain that the person that we were going to was suitable. After much research online, we chose to make an appointment with Dr. Justin Alexander Charles in the San Marcos location. The appointment making system online is incredibly easy and convenient. I downloaded and filled out all of the new paperwork to establish new patient care, filled it out and brought it with me to the office. Dr. Charles had a lot of availability on his calendar. Once we arrived, it is a busy shopping center because it is right across the street from California State University San Marcos. But we were able to find a parking spot in close proximity. When we entered, we were cheerfully greeted by a young man who was the front desk Worker. He checked us in, took payment, went over paperwork and asked us to take a seat in the lobby. The lobby is clean, simple and modern and does not reflect a medical practice. We were called back five minutes before our appointment time to do vitals and were escorted to a room. The nurse went over a few questions and stated that the doctor would be in in a few moments. The doctor was exactly on time for the appointment slot. He spent about 45 minutes going over in great detail, concerns, medical history, family, health, and was sure to talk about Any overlying mental concerns (given the state of our current world). Even though we were there for physical healthcare not mental. He listened very closely and addressed everything within that timeframe. We felt listen to and cared for and will definitely return to Dr. Charles. When I was looking for a practice for cash payments this was one of the most affordable options and they have a price list on their website unlike most other places where finding out how much the cash price would be is nearly impossible as most utilize insurance only. I highly recommend and I am happy to find this little gem. We will be returning! Now to speak on why I would give four stars in general. Prior to the appointment I wanted to know how long of a time slot was booked so that I could make plans for my day. I called the phone number and it was immediately forwarded meaning it was not picked up by somebody in the San Marcos office. Maybe this is a third-party answering service that Pearlman clinics utilizes .The phone rang about six or eight times and then was picked up. But the line was picked up silently. Nobody on the other end said a word. Not a hello. Not a thanks for calling the Pearlman clinics. Nothing. But I could hear somebody on the other line. So I said hello is this the Perlman clinics? To which the woman on the other end of the phone said yes and sounded quite annoyed and bust in the background! I went ahead and asked her my question and she was able to provide me an answer and was pleasant the rest of the phone call however I think it was wildly inappropriate for a professional in any business to not answer the phone in a professional manner. Even just simply saying, hello, and stating the name of the business would have been the least that should have been done. Maybe this was a mistake or some type of miscommunication with the phone line. But it is worth mentioning in case others have also had this issue arise. If I had not already done hours of research and easily made an appointment online, I would absolutely not choose this clinic, simply based on the interactions when calling on the phone. I can only imagine somebody who is older and not as tech savvy on the computer as I am, calling to make an appointment and then encountering the woman that picked up the line!“

“Jen made the appointment extra special. She was wonderful. The Dr and other staff were lovely too.“

“From Texas and need to see a physician in California. The front desk was very professional and the physician was great. I work in the medical field in Texas and I appreciate professional staff and physicians. Would definitely would recommend this clinic.“

“I had to take my cat in for an emergency visit. I was treated wonderfully. They were very compassionate, kind, and concerned about me and my cat. I was kept informed about the costs, recommended procedures, and the well-being of my cat. I would definitely recommend this veterinarian hospital to anyone who truly cares about the health and treatment of their pet.“

“I was happy to get a quick appointment for my issue. I checked in using the app however, after waiting over an hour and seeing people leave that came after me, I went back to the front desk and was surprised when they said I hadn't checked in!!!! So, I waited a while longer and was seen by a wonderful doctor who was thorough and listened. If not for the check in snafu, it would have been a 5 star review.“

“Doctor Alfredo Quinonez & his wife are the best! Good listener always helpful and have the right medication. As a french lady I went to different dr but nothing is compared to Dr Quinonez his services helped so much during my time in san diego when I had some health issues and as an asthmatic person I needed the right treatments.
I can’t wait to be back to SD this year and visit They have a great team, yes there is a little bit of wait but nothing is too long to wait when we take care of ourselves!“

“The people here are always very friendly, attentive and engaging. They really care and treat patients like family. I love coming to location for everything! I appreciate all they do for the patients and will continue to come to this location. Thank you for everything you do!“

“Brought my daughter, the nurses were very nice, also the front desk lady very nice attitude. They were all very professional.“

“The staff were efficient. I was a walk-in patient but they were still able to accommodate me in a timely manner. And they were actually very accurate on the amount of time it would take for me to be seen. Really appreciated the welcoming atmosphere and the kind, courteous, and professional attentive nature of each staff member who assisted me.“

“I had lab work to get done and I had the privilege of having Jerry draw my blood. I never been a fan of needles and Jerry made me comfortable and we laughed all the way through it. I am a big fan of Kaiser and appreciate you Jerry.“

“I went in to urgent care today because I cut the tip of my index finger and the staff was honestly just the best they were amazing, cared for me even boosted up my mood from being worried and scared. They made me laugh and smile, it truly made my day. Shoutout to Yolanda, Leyla, Danial and Alexia for being so sweet and kind to me. You guys are the best, may god bless you all!“

“Just saw Dr. Peter Clements who was able to work me in earlier than my regular doctor, Allen Richburg. Dr. Clements is a 5 star well trained sports medicine FP who listens carefully and took time to explain issues and work out a plan. He is newer in the practice but my guess is he will be very busy as people learn about him. I have always had excellent experience with SD Sports Medicine and with new talent like Dr. Clements I know they will continue to provide excellent care.“

“If you’re impatient you’re going to have a bad experience everywhere you go. I think it was worth the wait. Appreciate the staff and Dr. Whitley is as good of a doctor as it gets.“
