Family Practice in Escondido, CA

“This is an AMAZING clinic full of hard-working, caring people. This place saved my wife's life. My wife does not have health insurance, but she got sick and wasn't getting better. She had a bad cough, chest pain, and other symptoms. She was seen by a doctor here who told her she has bronchitis and asthma from an infection. They said they would send in the prescription for her inhaler and other medication. When we got to the Rite Aid to pick up her medication on a Friday evening, we found the Rite Aid was permanently closed. Oh no.... this was bad. But I messaged this clinic on Yelp, and the next morning, Saturday morning, my wife got a phone call directly from someone who was able to resend her meds to a CVS less than 5 minutes from our house!!! Wow! Amazing. We were so worried we wouldn't be able to get her medicine until the next day they were open....5 days later....but because they reached out to us on a Saturday, we were able to get the meds only a day or two later!! Thank you endlessly to this clinic that truly CARES about every single person that comes through their doors. This clinic makes the world a better place and saves lives.”

“Accessibility: they have accessible parking spots across from the building and then tons of other parking. The lot is never full. The ramp to get up to the entrance is all the way down at the other end of the building though, maybe four doors down. There are only stairs to get on the sidewalk right outside of this doctors office. The door to enter the building is a door where you turn the handle down then push in to enter. There is also a security guard always standing outside so if you need help you can ask them for assistance.Good opinion about San Ysidro Health: this location was taken over by San Ysidro Health a year or two ago and I love it. San Ysidro has a very proactive health approach versus a reactive health approach. What that means is that I sometimes get phone calls from the doctor asking if I want to make an appointment for the flu shot, COVID vaccine, get a pap smear or something else because they see in my records that I am overdue for something. I love that. I love that they call me instead of me always having to call when it's too late.Experience: from the outside this building looks pretty rough and there used to be a lot of homeless people sleeping in the parking lot but they have a security guard now all the time which I appreciate. When you get inside you check in then sit in the waiting room until they call you back. The inside of this location is a lot nicer than the outside. But the best part is definitely the doctors. Dr. Chris Snyder is the best medical doctor I have had in my life. All my life I had doctors who didn't listen to me and ignored when I needed help but Dr Snyder is the first doctor to believe me. That has been life changing. I avoided going to the doctor when I really needed to until I got Chris Snyder as a doctor...now I go when I need to. The only thing I recommend as something that they could improve on is the front office staff not whispering or talking to each other and giggling when there are patients around. A few times now I have felt like they were talking about patients, and one time I did actually hear them say a guy had been there multiple times for the same issue, then they got too quiet to hear, then they laughed. Even if they are not talking about patients, the patients will assume they are.”

“John Scrivano was very thorough and addressed my concerns. He listened and help me get on my way to checking off all the things I need to take care of. His Assistant Ruth is also the best. The office is older and needs a little bit of updating but not a reason to not go there. I will be returning to establish with one of the physicians.”

“I had a pre-op visit with Dr.Paz for a EKG. I’ve been going to Graybill since 1991. I’ve never had a bad experience there. The front desk is always polite , able to help me with any questions. I would highly recommend Graybill to any of my friends or family. I don’t understand the many negative posts. Dr. Paz and his staff are the best, Nancy is absolutely a wonderful nurse.SincerelyIrene Winters”
