UC San Diego Health Express Care in Rancho Bernardo provides excellent medical care, according to multiple reviews. The facility offers same-day appointments, and patients have reported waiting less than 10 minutes to be seen.
Upon entering the exam room, patients are welcomed by a nursing assistant who takes their vitals, such as blood pressure and temperature. The nurse’s relaxed approach while measuring blood pressure allows patients to calm down and take relaxing breaths before the reading. This thoughtful touch is appreciated, as many healthcare providers take the reading immediately after the patient sits down.
The primary care physician (PCP) arrives promptly after the nurse finishes, taking the time to ask many questions, listen to the patient's responses, and develop a clear plan for the patient's health. The PCP is praised for reviewing the patient's medical history beforehand and communicating via MyChart messages to keep the patient informed about test results and concerns.
The facility is nice and clean, and patients have appreciated the absence of long waiting lines. Healthcare providers, including nurses and PAs, are described as kind, professional, and attentive. However, there have been comments about the front desk staff being less friendly. Overall, patients feel cared for and valued at UC San Diego Health Express Care in Rancho Bernardo. For non-life threatening urgent medical needs, this location is recommended for those living in North San Diego County.
