Perlman Clinic is a Primary Care and Urgent Care Center in Clairemont providing quality and comprehensive medical care. Our Medical Specialties include Primary Care, Urgent Care, Internal Medicine, Family Medicine and Preventive Medicine. Clinically, we try to do more than treat medical conditions. We educate, promote and encourage good health and wellness practices. We can do so since our appointment times are longer than industry average. Patients get extra time with our team. We are in-network with most insurances and for patients without insurance, our cash pay rates are competitive. We take both scheduled appointments and walk-ins. If you are looking for an Urgent Care near me, or Primary Care near me, give us a try.

I have goals to improve my health and I think the Perlman Clinic offers the support needed to reach my goals.
Very short wait and after have a doctor I feel comfortable with.
I juggle between this office and the Scripps location, this location ok…Love Scripps location…Love Dr. Perlman…classy lady
Outstanding customer service
Very professional, clean, and prompt attention.
Fast service, friendly staff, clean facilities. They took me as a walk-in the same day.
Fast visit with friendly and knowledgeable staff!
Great clinic clean quiet and good time waiting to see dr great staff great dr.
Good and organize👍 …
Ive been with Pearlman clinic over 2 yrs..these people are the best .
Excellent service……help me being treated by required specialist
thank you.i prefer driving to hillcrest than la jolla..hopefully soon injections will be offered at hillcrest
Easy to check in, kind medical staff, thorough and answered all my questions!
Drs. Bruce and Keller are awesome and Kat and the rest of the nurses are WONDERFUL!!
I appreciate the professionalism of the office staff and Dr. Bucknam – nice facility, great people!
Wonderful staff, very clean and everyone was very professional and super nice.
The Dr. who saw me for a nasty cut on my thumb, her name is Anne, she was kind and friendly. The receptionist as well. Thank you.
The ladies at the reception can’t check in properly. Last visit they did not check me in at all, this time they are checking someone else under my name. Get your act right!
Rough first experience, but the operations department reached out and helped me get what I needed quick and easy!
Warm and friendly staff,and very accommodating to individual needs.
Unbelievable ineptitude. They care more about running up the bill on your insurance than giving you health care
Courtney Wilcox is as accommodating as she is professional.
We couldn’t receive better care!
Dr. Emily and the entire staff was extremely helpful and professional. I would highly recommend this location. Chris
Everyone was nice and polite and friendly I had a good visit today.
Dr. Orr and his staff were awesome.
The front desk staff are inexperienced, impertinent, and unprofessional. Don’t waste your time coming here if you want be seen quickly or need to be seen urgently.
Asking for copay with double insurance when other urgent cares don’t. Their policy is ridiculous. Go to Sharp!
Staff are organized, professional, and knowledgeable. Stark contrast to the ones answering the phone in another location; the difference is night and day.
Dr Van Noord and staff are the consummate professionals…I cannot express my gratitude enough for the personal touch…please be sure staff are availed of this review…….
Doctors do care at the Perlman clinic and interested in a good outcome for their patients. Best Doctors I have seen in years
I like the location, the office staff, and the doctor. So pleased and different than my last pain specialist.
Sweet and gentle nurses. In and out for Covid testing – great experience!
If you don’t mind dealing with an incompetent PA whose medical knowledge consists of a google search, then this is your place. Otherwise, AVOID! Terrible clinic.
Easy to get an appointment, and my provider is the best!
Everyone is friendly and professional! Wait time is minimal! Thank you ~Janice
The clinic, the nurse Miss Ashley Johnson and my primary doctor William Buckner they are super awesome.
Great place to do your “doctoring”! Dr. Jeffrey Orr is a fantastic doc!
Very caring and professional. Would recommend this clinic to everyone I know while visiting the SD area.
Kind and compassionate care. I felt comfortable with their knowledge and Kelsey’s a friendly person
Customer service on the phone making an appointment was shockingly rude, after only requesting assistance in making an appointment.
Was able to get me in right away when I arrive for my appointment however I can only gave it 4 stars because my labs aren’t listed on the patient portal
I got in the at the end of the same day. I saw Julie. She was professional, friendly and efficient and called persciptions in right away.
Great service!! And provide great service at the time of need!!
Treat me w respect!! Oh…..they have moved a few months ago to around the corner ( bigger place) to:
3969 FOURTH AVE, second floor (208) …
$178 (after insurance) for a very quick, routine visit. This even though I was told insurance covered the entire cost. Dishonest and expensive.
efficient and fast Puneet is great
Easy to get in on short notice, everyone is so friendly and professional. I have been visiting here and it feels like they know me. Thanks everyone in the office.
Dr. Monica is not only a fabulous internist, but exceptionally gifted with botox and filler!!! Subtle but makes a huge difference!!!
The people are wonderful. Each one cares add they hear you. If your a person who hurts and lives with fear go hear. The relief I found. Trust Dr. Van Noord
This is a pretty good medical clinic but I left them to follow my doctor when he decided to open up his own practice.
Underground parking, clean facilities, friendly staff and short wait. PA Julie Hoffman is very knowledgable and makes you feel at ease.
I have recently been treated with outstanding care, at the direction of
Dr. Switzer of the Perlman Clinic in La Jolla. Could not have received
better professional care by the staff.
Marnee, laurynn, Kenia really Helped me out on Saturday after my car accident I would definitely recommend this Clinic they will definitely take care of you ❤️❤️❤️
My husband and I just moved to the city and I needed somewhere to go as my throat was bothering me to the point where it was closing. This clinic REFUSED to provide healthcare to me even though they take the insurance.
Wow so great! Every question I have/had they answer. Very comfortable office although they can find a better way to manage pain and have more options for pain management.
Excellent staff. Even though my new insurance is Kaiser, I will continue to come here & pay out of pocket. Well worth the expense.
NP Stephanie was so sweet and upbeat and really brightened my whole day when I came in. Thank you to her!
Samantha is Great ! She is very nice and easy to talt to. She’s very knowledgeable and has confidence in her job.
Dr.Emily Ence was kind and patience to me I enjoy my time visiting with her
The staff was excellent and very friendly.
The registration was very fast .
The doctor was excellent explain my concerns.
I will definitely recommend this place.
This was a very nice clinic and I had the best experience! Antonia was very sweet and was able to answer all of the questions that I had! Most definitely recommend!
Dr. Buchner is a great Dr. and takes time to get to know his patience to provide individualize care. I don’t feel like a number and I can easily get an appointment.
Alex N. was incredible!! He made our visit great and was a great person to meet with! 👏🏼👏🏼 …
The have trashy protocols that require video calls before getting tested and they don’t even call. Don’t waste your time.
Staff was very professional and caring. Was very impressed with how organized this clinic was. Would recommend this urgent care center to anyone.
Very poor experience. They throw antibiotics at you, constant miscommunication and very poor follow up. I do not recommend.
Doctor Buchner great doctor, he take the time to know is patient and listen to them which makes a big different. I would definitely recommend him to anyone. Thank you.
Great Clinic! Providers and staff are so nice and courteous. Highly recommend this clinic to anybody looking to be seen by a knowledgable provider in a timely manner.
Great service and treatment….. friendly and efficient. One thing though, if you select the contact us option and send a chat message, don’t hold your breath waiting for a reply; better to call.
Convienient location and AMAZING doctors! The appointments are much longer than some of the other clinics that I’ve been to in SD. Great experience!
fast treatment, kind, and happy staff
The staff is welcoming and pleasant. The PA, Carly Babis, who attended to me was also very kind. She was clear with her instructions.
Was the best choice to switch to Pearlman, wide variety of Dr’s, efficient and quick results from lab tests, online or in person…easy to schedule
Awesome staff! They smiled, were very friendly, and knowledgsbke. Set an appointment on the day of and went in with no issues. Got in and got out pretty quick. Great team and place!
As a walk-in, I was stunned at how quickly they got me in, checked me out, and took care of me. The office was clean and professional, and the touchscreen on the wall with a medical library was awesome!
As a new patient. I had a great experience with the friendly staff and Dr. Buckner was very attentive to my questions and needs.
Appointment only and very rude about it. Also suggested that most appointments would be virtual. Feels like a money grab where they aren’t interested in helping people.
Not disappointed in first visit. Much better than most of my experiences in a clinic/urgent care facility. Will definitely return.
Saw Dr VanNoord for continued lower back paij. He does everything he can to make me comfortable. I I appreciate his caring bedside manner even though it was very late in the day.
It was a quick and easy appointment to read my TB test for work. The clinic is very conveniently located.
First time there. Everyone was very nice and helpful they managed to squeeze me in dr was great explained everything clearly . Called as soon as she got X-ray results. Very happy with care
Super nice staff, very clean facility and the most advanced technology. Definitely will return if necessary, I also plan to move my primary health care to Perlman Clinic.
Was turned away at the desk because they were no loner accepting walk-in appointments. This was after I had spoken on the phone with a rep 30 minutes before who assured me I could do a walk-in appointment and that my insurance was accepted at their location.
Was seen very promptly, friendly staff, great physician!
I received a complete and thorough checkup by a very professional and courteous staff. The Perlman Clinic is a top notch facility with outstanding doctors to address you medical needs.
Great location. They validate parking in an underground garage. There are a few cute shops and great lunch spots if you have time before/after your appointment. The staff is very friendly.
The staff is very professional and friendly! the doctor Emily was informative and the level of care is amazing. thank you Perlman Clinic, I appreciate your presence and convenience
I like their way they talk to you and they take their time to explain things to you I’ve always had a great experience going to this doctor
EVERYONE was friendly and helpful and very knowledgeable! I really appreciate the whole experience (and I even had to get blood drawn, sooooo 😝). …
I am a first time patient. All of the staff was super nice and friendly and very helpful. Dr Taylor was very thorough and made me feel very relaxed and comfortable.
Had to wait for several days before Dr. Van Nord could see me about a bad case of sciatica. He’s prescribed the appropriate medications. Overall, the clinic have helped me, thanks to his efforts.
Very clean establishment. The staff is very nice and helpful. Made the trip there very much less stressful. Thankful to all who helped out. There isnt much I need to go into detail because it is all that I could have asked for going to a clinic.
Fast, customer-service oriented and friendly staff. I didn’t have an appointment but they graciously squeezed me in and helped me renew my prescription within 30 minutes. Highly recommend.
Great Clinic
Very nice receptionists and the Doctor made me feel comfortable about my situation and explained everything in detail and took his time wasn’t rushing me out. Definitely recommend
This clinic is always prompt and professional. I never have issues getting information or referrals in a timely manner and I think all of the staff are friendly and do an amazing job!
This was a visit prompted by a sudden series of ailments.My Primary was not available. I got in there on very short notice and saw CHELSEA, she was outstanding. Listened intently, made comments and suggestions, got me an RX, and this morning I feel better then I have in a week! I’ll go back !
PA Emily Ence really cares, actually listens and tries to figure out what works and is best for you! It’s a long drive for me but worth it when you find a good doctor.
Phenomenal customer service. Lightning fast service. Everyone was friendly, knowledgeable, and caring!! Will definitely be going back for future doctor visits! …
I was seen on 1/29 in the LJ office as usual i was given great care by Steve Caso PA he’s very knoledgeable, he knows his patients, very patient. The staff is friendly and helpful, great team. The atmosphere is comfortable.
My go-to clinic. One of the best experiences I’ve had at the doctor’s. Perlman has amazing staff and makes you feel welcome and well cared for.
Staff was super friendly, fast and efficient for being a new patient. I was on travels and a walk in. They got me in faster than anticipated and one of the best walk in clinics I’ve ever been too.
I visited Perlman Clinic to see Dr Buchner Jr on August 27th. I would rate Dr Buchner 5 stars or 10 stars THE HIGHEST.He is the best doctor I have ever had. He makes sure to go beyond his duties by informing his patients of all options for …
The staff always provides outstanding services in a timely manner!
I am extremely pleased with the care I receive at the clinic in Hillcrest. It is centrally located and it has easy access to public transportation.
I was recommended by a family friend and glad I went to this location. The clinic itself was very clean and neat. Not to mention, the staff were very friendly, accommodating and on top of their tasks. I will be returning when needed.
I really liked this place. From the front desk staff to the doctor and her medical assistant. I wish I remembered their names. Both were so awesome from start to finish. Thank you!
Everyone is friendly, and professional. They are open on time, will take calls to make appointments, and e-perscribe quickly to your pharma of choice. I’ve been going here for 3 years.. MDs dont stay long, but perhaps this is the stepping stone for new MDs looking to open private practice.
Dr. Emily is very good. I like the fact that the clinic has a family feeling, you dont get the sense of going into a big facility and being just a number. The personal care is really good and as I mentioned, Dr. Emily is very informative. I would highly recommend the clinic.
You ever been to a McDonalds where they don’t answer the drive thru and are out of beef? That’s the fast food equivalent to this place. …
This was the worst experience I have EVER had in a doctor’s office. Both the front desk ladies were incredibly rude and unhelpful. I was thrown out of the office for asking a couple questions about my appointment that I did not understand …
The office staff and doctor assistant were all very friendly and helpful. The doctor listened and answered questions and gave me potential treatments for my situation and potential side effects. He was very thorough in his explanation.
Dr. Buchner is AWESOME! I actually followed him over from a completely different health provider. Michelle and ALL of the staff are great as well! A very friendly team !
Just a heads up. If you need a referral go somewhere else because they will not get the correct referral out and dont really care to. The physician Assistant “Julie Hoffman” is just trying to get through patients as fast as possible and …
I really appreciate the staff at this clinic! Everyone, and I mean EVERYONE, is beyond helpful. I started with Dr. Parrott (who is phenomenal) but then had to reassign (due to maternity leave) to Dr. Bruchner — two words, NEXT LEVEL! …
Extremely satisfied with the care I received.
Great service, very professional and knowledgeable personal
Office staff is very polite and professional. The PA, Sammatha and
Dr Van Nord work very hard in managing my chronic pain. The clinic is clean and well maintained.
Was visiting San Diego, felt some deepening chest congestion – found the Perlman Clinic open on Saturday downtown. Dropped by, made an appointment for a couple of hours later – came back, was in and out in 30 minutes with a prescription for antibiotics that was desperately needed. Fast, friendly, efficient!
Bad service. They requested blood test and I went to have my blood drawn for over a month and they didn’t call me after three days as they said. I had to call them after a week to hear a stupid excuse “the doctor called to have your blood …
I just had a less than stellar customer service experience at the Hillcrest office. My appointment was at 1pm. They asked to come in at 12:30 for paperwork. I was there at 12:34pm but, the address listed on the tricare website is incorrect …
Staff and doctor were pleasant and helpful.
After I cut myself while working on my friend’s house I decided not go to the emergency room and opted for this urgent care right around the block. The cut wasn’t that bad and I didn’t want to waste the rest of the day sitting around a …
I was amazed how friendly all staff was on a Saturday! I have been to a few urgent care and I have to say perlman clinic is my favorite. They made me feel comfortable and took time to understand the reason I was in. And the best part is that they have 4 locations.
Emily was a knowledgeable and compassionate provider. She took the initiative without me even asking to make sure all my healthcare needs were met.
Very professional; very efficient. I saw the doctor within a half hour of walking in on a Saturday afternoon. They don’t prescribe narcotics which is fine but I think I could have used a stronger cough medicine since I still have that…..
I had a nice pre op visit via video before my surgery. It was easy and helpful to have the visit online via video and the doctor I met with was very nice and informative.
Inadequate front desk communications failed to indicate there are several Perlman buildings in San Diego. As a new patient I find this more than lacking. Add to this the hostile attitude of the Perlman La Jolla front desk that did not even …
Dr Buchner is obviously very intelligent, skilled and caring!
Doing both my visits he has taken time with me and answered my questions and concerns.He has a great “bedside manner” !
Dr. Buchner is the go-to doctor. Very good at getting straight to the point. Knowledgeable, courteous, and thorough. All the things you want in a doctor. The staff here is the same courteous, helpful and knowledgeable. I highly recommend Perlman Clinic
I’ve been seeing Dr. Buchner for several years. He is amazing and will always discuss both traditional western medicine options, as well as alternative/natural approaches toward healing and wellness. Very thorough, cares about your health.
Jessica and Dr.Buchner provided me with excellent care. They thought outside the box and caught my condition early! I am so lucky to have met them and I’m confident the course of my disease was changed for the better having known them. …
If you ever are unfortunately in need of a pain clinic I highly recommend Pearlman Clinic. Dr. VanNoord and nurse practitioner Samantha are both very attentive and knowledgeable. Their nurse Chelsea and the entire staff are great too. I …
I would give 0 if I could. Kensington is very good, but Hillcrest is awful. My daughter went to be seen for a lump in her back with an online Urgent Care appt. There was a traffic accident, which she explained, that caused her to be 10 …
Would give 6+ stars if I could. Dr. Buchner treated me for Lyme after 6 years of wondering what the hell was wrong with me. Saw numerous doctors in multiple states, chiropractors, acupuncturists, massage therapists, everyone just told me …
I have been seeing Dr Van Noord after dissatisfaction with another neurologist’s office. I have received very effective treatment for my low back pain and neck pain. A new, longer lasting pain relief method is going to be a great …
I went to Perlman Clinic once for an annual physical, of which I am allowed two per year, included in my insurance. The doctor in the exam room mentioned that the appointment was not listed as an annual physical and that she would have that …
We are from the east and spend winters in LaJolla. We have been fortunate to find this wonderful practice and cannot say enough good about Doctor Perlman and her staff. We have seen 3 different doctors for various medical issues and a PA- …
Dr. Bruce is awesome. I was going in for annual exam and was lucky enough to have my questions answered by an EndocrinoligistPrimary Care Physician. …
My doctor appointments are always thorough. Dr. Buchner is a fabulous doctor. He’s been my doctor for many years. My health wouldn’t be where it is today if it wasn’t for him. I highly recommend him if your health has been suffering for a period of time. He WILL find the answers!
Kingdom of no-care.
Went there for primary care for pregnancy. That was my first visit with them. 5 …
Even though there was a mix up with the scheduler and I was NOT sipposed to see this one MD (their error) which they admitted and took care of and I was able to see the correct MD. The MA really read my history and was succinct in …
This clinic has serious communication issues. It took me 2 months to get an appointment. This was due to the receptionist/ person in billing promising to call me back after researching my insurance coverage. They repeatedly failed to do so. …
I’m working with Samantha PA. She listens, asks questions and treats me as a person taking into consideration my personality and accepting my flaws as well as my good points. My condition is improving with her guidance. I recommend her highly. There’s always parking under the building and they validate. Very convenient.
Dr. Brandon Van Noord and his staff are top notch. He has “magic hands” for his pain management techniques. He also exemplifies great compassion and offers alternatives for treatments. His P.A. Chelsea is great as well. The clinic is easy to deal with and wait times are minimal.
I cannot say enough great things about Emily Ence! She is a fantastic provider, listens to her patients, and really cares about them. So very happy I found Emily. …
I was on vacation in San Diego with my elderly dad and he was getting very sick very quickly, he started taking OTC meds but he was only getting worse. We went to the clinic with the hope that they would be able to help get him better as we …
So many great things about Perlman Clinic in Hillcrest. The waiting room was very clean and the front staff were very friendly and helpful with me. Dr. Brooke Myrberg was amazing!! I had had a great experience and will definitely be back.
Great service and easy parking. Very courteous staff
I twisted my ankle pretty badly while riding my bike near Balboa Park. I didn’t think it was broken or anything but you never know. Luckily for me I saw that this urgent care was right up the street. I went in and Dr. Perlman took me right …
Dr. Buchner is amazing, his diligence to resource my medical issues to resolve them is incredible. His knowledge to know how and where to search for answers amazes me. He truly cares about his patients and their health concerns and is …
I woke up at 4:00 AM with right ear pain, went to the app, found a visit on Sunday, was taken back right on time, and in a COVID conscious and clean facility. I’m switching my care over to Perlman because they always exceed expectations and are so efficient.
Everything went very quickly, which was nice. The facility was very clean. Only thing they lose a star for is that even though I filled out the paperwork and put my pharmacy information, they used old information and sent my prescription …
Excellent help rec’d 8/10 from Julie (I believe) who did a biopsy to help determine the cause of a terrible rash I had! She was very professional – kind and knowledgeable! I have always loved the help I receive there! It’s a very convenient location & very little waiting time!
I my 90 yesrs old mom had an appointment last week. I like her physician she was very nice and she answered all of my questions. Her nurse Jessamae has a positive attitude and so did the rest of the girls at the clinic. I’m excited to make them my primary care office thank you so much for your help.
Dr. Brantz is truly an amazing person/doctor. I’ve been going to him for years and I can tell you that every experience feels the same — meeting with a good friend who cares about my well being. I’m happy to see he joined Perlman Clinic …
My appointment was on time. WOW! That always makes me happy to be seen on time. I know things happen sometimes, and schedules get off, but it’s nice to be seen on time occasionally. …
I needed to get in right away on a Sat morning. I called for an appointment.Within the hour I was sitting in an exam room speaking with the physician’s assistant who very efficiently resolved my issue. All very efficient and a great P.A. who really knew her stuff; very personable, knowledgeable, and quite attractive!
Finally, after 30 years of living with an improperly-diagnosed chronic illness, Dr. Buchner has diagnosed what the real problem is. …
I have been going here for a few years and usually have a great experience. However I have been sick for a month with 3 NEGATIVE covid tests, 2 provided by Perlman and they refuse to see me in person. …
Had a very nice experience at the Perlman Clinic in Hillcrest. Had a mild fever and they were able to see me within a couple hours. The entire team including Dr. Brooke were all friendly and accommodating 🙂
I have numerous spinal issues and have been in and out of various doctors office’s and pain management centers. Some of them won’t even answer the phone when you call them, and won’t respond to voice message left on a machine. When i first …
Such a wonderful Clinic ! Beginning with the office personnel to the nurses and ending with the doctors. Everyone is friendly, funny and such great listeners. I’ve been there twice and each time have been thankful for their professionalism.
The location, office, and employees of The Perlman Clinic, San Diego, are courteous, clean, efficient, and dependable. …
Was able to get an appointment the following day. Friendly and fun staff. Didn’t have to fill out 50 pages of papers. Dr. Buchner came in right away vs. waiting 20 minutes at my other office visits with other docs. Listenend to all my …
Dr. Buchner is thorough, experienced, knowledgeable and most of all is very interested in your medical health. He’s kind, understanding and very caring, our appointments with him are always awesome. The clinic is clean organized and Dr.’s assistant is wonderful.
Easy check and check out with MyChart. Friendly, courteous staff. Short wait time.
Julie seems to know a lot but will push you out the door quickly if she is not entertained. Her diagnosis was quick and not careful. Will be sure to see a different doctor next time I am injured. To be fair they are busy during these times. Take care of yourself.
Got sick while visiting from out of town and found the Perlman Clinic online. I was able to make an appointment for the next day at 0800. I just happened to be in between insurances at the time and was really pleased that they offered their …
Generally, quality health care is not difficult to find. I had been content with Sharp Health Care since birth at Grossmont Hospital. However, I found the genuine and personal service offered by Dr. William Buchner and the Perlman team to …
Excellent service. Blood work done at the same location with urgent care available. Dr. Ortiz is very approachable and understanding. Didn’t feel rushed like prior annual check ups with docs not associated with Perlman. Highly recommend.
I called in twice over a 2 week period to make appointments and was talked to in a very unfriendly, rude manner and was disconnected 2x. Upon calling back in, I wasn’t given an apology, but was told it was MY fault!? As far as the office …
Brooke is so good with my grandma, very cheerful and very good at what she does. Dr. Ortiz is an amazing doctor. My grandma used to go to the hospital at least once a month but ever since she has been under the care of Dr. Ortiz, my …
I always have excellent service at this clinic. The waiting room is lovely with coffee, tea, & cold water available. The staff is pleasant and my appointments usually start within 15 minutes of my scheduled time. The only negative about …
I’ve been taking my cholesterol med and need to keep taking it. But I couldn’t refill suddenly because my primary care dr. left the clinic. For refilling my med, I need to talk to new Dr. and nobody told me untile I found it by myself. The clinice must do prepare some backup planes for patients like me. But they seem to not really care!
I have been seeing Emily Ence now for a few months and she is the BEST primary care physician that I have ever had. She takes her time and really listens to you and does her best to treat your health issues. I am so thankful that I found her!
I recently changed health plan, and met with Dr William Buckner for 1st time. I appreciated very much his willingness to listen. He was able to make switching very seemless and I look forward to having him as my doctor. Also appreciated the professional and friendly staff!
As someone who works in healthcare, I have been very impressed with the quality of service and care. Admin staff have always been friendly and patient as are the medical assistants, which to me indicates good management. I’ve had some …
Beautiful clinic in the heart of Hillcrest. The staff is friendly and I love the music they were playing. The environment is clean and welcoming.
The staff is very friendly and I have not had to wait long periods to be seen. My doctor is very approachable and friendly. The office is in a great location that i can walk or drive to. I appreciate that this office confirms that my insurance will cover procedures before moving forward.
Getting tested was fast and easy…. We (Me my Wife and Daughter) were tested at the same visit. We were tested in the Hillcrest Perlman parking structure level P1, drive up, stay in the car test. Could be anymore happier with the experience.
Please stay away from this clinic.!!!
This place is very unorganized and not honest! they don’t care about their …
Monica Perlman has been my primary care physician since 2012. I’ve been with them as the practice has grown from I believe two locations to five now, with a sixth coming. I’ve seen 7 or 8 different doctors and physician’s assistants over …
What a great experience! I don’t like going to the doctor at all and get a little anxiety but the office staff is comforting and friendly and the office is clean and comfortable. It was great that I didn’t have to wait long in the waiting …
As a new patient, establishing a baseline for my health care, Dr Buchner and his staff were very thorough, helpful, and pleasant. I feel taken care of and confident that the future of my health is in good hands. Everyone I’ve encountered at the Perlman Clinic is very professional and very nice.
Dr. Buchner is absolutely incredible. In dealing with chronic illness – I had seen over 7 other doctors before finding Dr Buchner. He is a God send. He was able to properly diagnose, treat, and put me on a path towards getting better. He …
I am so impressed with this clinic. I was recently left without any insurance and had no idea where to go. I look on google and Perlman was top on the list. I was able to get inquickly and was treated so nicely by everyone. At 62 and being …

The doctors are wonderful and friendly and informed. The front office staff is very sweet, but very inconsistent. Time after time they forget to call to inform me of the status of a prescription, to refill my order, to call me back, to send …
I feel incredibly lucky to have chosen Pearlman Clinic and especially Dr. Buckner. Everyone is on point, from listening and addressing my needs to making me feel part of my care team. The ease of corresponding online, or telephone has never …

LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS CLINIC! they didn’t rush explanations, made sure my options were clear and well informed, and weren’t rushing on antibiotics and actually cared about quality health care. All my visits to Perlman so far (including other …
The worst Clinic ever! They have no structure. It seems like their whole goal is to scam patients and make money! I was charged for the service even after confirming a 100 times if I had to pay a deductible or copay. Worst customer service, …
I needed a Tb test for work and I call the clinic located by Adams Ave. and the lovely staff went all the way and researched the closest location to me and at the time I needed it done. Thank you.
Scheduled an appointment at 2:40pm, the automated email I got confirming that appointment told me to show up at 2:10pm. As I was on my way into the clinic at 2:15pm I received a phone call that my appointment had been double booked and they …
I walked into the clinic and they were able to see me quickly. The staff was very friendly and Dr. Prijatel was able to completely address all of my concerns. It was also nice there was a parking garage below the building. …
I got a rapid covid test here and paid $100 for the service. I went and completed the test and unfortunately it was positive. I was told my result would be emailed in 30 minutes to me so I could provide to my employer. They lost my result, …
PA Murray was very professional and thorough. She and the entire staff was very helpful and friendly. I would highly recommend the Hillcrest Perlman Clinic!
I came into this clinic to establish care and follow up on a recent miscarriage. Needed to get my hcg levels and other stuff checked per my OBGYN. I had an appointment with Andrea Ramirez PA. At first she seemed nice, i had picked her to be …
I am fairly new to Perlman Clinic in Hillcrest, and I am glad that I found them. I received new insurance through my employer and had a bad experience with the clinic I was at in Downtown San Diego. The provider I was seeing was rude and …
I have been twice to Perlman Clinic – once downtown and once to Hillcrest. Found staff to be very friendly. Went to Dr Carly, she is great. Was able to get in for urgent appointment as well as annual exam. They take time to answer questions etc.
This has been the absolute worst experience with this practice. I was seen for the first time last week on Saturday by Dr.hoffmen who seemed like she was running behind and not taking the time with me as a patient. I ended up trying to …
Always love my visits with Dr.Bhalrhu. She is very professional, friendly and asks all the necessary questions to remind me of anything I wish to discuss with her. I’m a happy, healthy 80 year old and she is definitely part of the reason. She stays on top of all my health issues, if there are any concerns.
Kelly Rackham nurse practitioner, was professional, listened with intent to understand and provided me with the best care/outcome to my visit. His extensive background aided him (and myself) in delivering competent advise and medical …
Perlman Clinic offers top notch service. I went online yesterday to schedule an appointment and was able to be seen the same day. Dr. Buchner is the absolute best. I’ve been having neck and shoulder pain for months and I finally agreed to a …
This was my first visit to establish a PCP. Front desk team was friendly. Medical Assistant Eric is knowledgeable and courteous. Matthew was a great provider and was careful to address any of my concerns thoroughly and with compassion!
I can’t express enough how much the entire staff of the Pearlman clinic always has your best interest at heart. They actually listen to you and I’ve never had a bad referral from them. Appointments are convenient. Support staff is always kind. PAs are well versed in a variety of issues.
Prompt service, professional staff, caring PA seeking full input re patient health & wellbeing. Goes extra steps to accommodate cost coverage with patient’s insurance. Very caring professionals. Highly recommend.
Wonderful office and super friendly staff. First time coming here and was very pleased! Staff all had sense of urgency, and I was in and out of my appointment faster than expected. I had all my questions answered and follow up appointments set.
Sat in the parking garage waiting for testing for over 20 minutes only to be told to go upstairs to the office. Had to call twice to get it figured out. All the while I have a raging fever just trying to be seen. Horrible experience
A decade in Naval Medicine’s care and these guys blew me away. Absolutely blew expectations out of the water. A extremely helpful, friendly, and accommodating staff. As a patient that waited for some routine paperwork, while abroad, I saw …
Went to help a friend who has strep throat. Symptoms were a swollen tonsil and sore throat no fever no other symptoms. …
Finally, a great experience with healthcare. The office was clean, professional, up to date – but not stuffy, and everyone was very well organized. I had zero issue checking in for my appointment, and was seen almost immediately upon …
Sabrina Prijatel, PA-C is an effective physician. She addressed my concerns with logic and compassion and I’m confident that anyone who sees her will have a positive experience.
Everyone here was so nice! Front desk, Maddie and Carly were all sweet and efficient. I would definitely recommend.
Such a great experience from ease of making an appointment online, to the actual appointment. I was very impressed!
This was my 3rd time seeing Carly since I’ve moved to San Diego. She is fabulous and would recommend her to my entire family if they were not all back east.
Jesse is amazing at drawing blood I usually have a huge needle phobia but the visit was over in 10 minutes tops !
This review is for Perlman front of house:
Front of house lacks professionalism, knowledge, communication, and empathy. I will continue to go Perlman for the Doctors and Physicians as well as the …
I just moved to San Diego and was looking for a doctor when I came across Doctor Matthew Anderson. Dr. Anderson had to be the best doctor I have ever met. I felt comfortable talking to him about everything in which I had a million …
Carly is simply amazing!!! She is kind, thoughtful, focused and very patient centered in her care plan. She listens to what her patients tell her and she thinks about ways to help them on their health journey. The entire team at Perlman is fantastic. Carly is just amazing!!
Dr. Buchner is the best primary Dr. I have the fortune to have. I left with a positive diagnosis and completely happy he save my life he gave me a chance. I am walking straight up because of you thank you Dr. Buchner have a great weekend …
I don’t typically do reviews, but I’ve been seeing Dr. Buchner as my PCP for several years now. He is the best doctor I have ever had. He is extremely knowledgeable and keeps up-to-date on new information. He is always thorough but to the point and clearly cares about his patients. I genuinely appreciate the work he does.
I had a great experience in my follow up visit. Everyone was nice and received great feedback on my medical condition.
Didn’t have the best experience at this specific location. Went in for something the NP didn’t have the best bedside manners, didn’t even take a look at what I went to be seen for. Other things that can be said but probably won’t go in for another visit.
Have a sore throat and congestion. They told me that they can’t see me due to Covid. So I go to an “urgent care” w a sickness and they turn me away due to covid. Not an urgent care.
The Mad slicer diversity has had to go here twice for stitches and every person there has been delightful and accommodating. They do an excellent job of getting you in/out and do excellent medical work.
Literally the worst experience I’ve ever had with an office. It was truly appalling. The receptionist that booked my appointment for me was rude and sounded miserable, and wasn’t listening to me when I was giving her my information so I had …
I have never written a review before but I had to because I had such a positive experience here. Sabrina was very nice and she took the time to really listen to and understand my situation and concerns (unlike so many doctors). The facility …
I had a very pleasant first-time visit with Matthew Anderson, PA-C. He was extremely knowledgeable and addressed all of my concerns. The entire staff were very friendly and welcoming. I’m looking forward to continuing my primary care with Mr. Anderson at The Perlman Clinic.
Everyone was very professional. I expected to be waiting a lot longer but they got me in and out very quickly. The doctor was extremely thorough and asked a lot of questions about my symptoms to rule out different things. …
Amazing service from check in thru check out. The staff were all so friendly and caring. Never felt rushed. My provider paid attention to detail and really took the time to be sure she had all of my history when I was establishing as a …
The doctor we saw was great! Very knowledgeable. We were on vacation and needed help. We had a lot of trouble finding a clinic that would see a 10 month old for coughing. Though the nurses were unfamiliar with babies and had to have me take …
Love Perlman Hillcrest!! Always pleasant and prompt – there when no one else is open. Do PocketDoc whenever you can and save time and resources!! Well done!
Great costumer service. Expeditious check in process. Doctor told me I was old in a poetic fashion that made me feel less worse about going in for aches from living this long.
Always a good experience at Perlman clinic, didn’t have to wait more than 5 minutes but the best is the care from Dr Buchner, he always takes his time to answer any questions I have and address any concerns. His advice has help me improve my health.
The Doctors are not interest in their patients well being. Highly suggest going somewhere else. The doctors also never stay long so you’ll have to either get a different doctor or go to a different clinic anyways.
They are so courteous and efficient. The person doing the blood draw was great. Clean clinic and everyone asked to wear a mask.
I had a great experience. Really easy to schedule an appointment. Everyone was very friendly. The annual exam is really thorough & I will definitely be using Perlman clinic for my primary care needs.
doctors must see a patient every 20 minutes !!!
seems like the only goal of this place is to “see” as many “patients” as passible to bill the insurance. …
Please go elsewhere for medical care. Women beware. If you need medical care, this medical group does not provide all the services they advertise. After being a patient here for three years and receiving excellent care from Dr. Buchner …
Friendly, kind providers who listened to my concerns and medical history. They seemed to really care and want to solve what was going on & didn’t just rush to prescribing something-but were thorough with their approach. Was also able to get treated fairly immediately. Would recommend going to this location if you are in need!
I’m giving two stars because this clinic always has appointments available day of, but their administrative processes are awful. They’ve had issues sending referrals (via fax) to Scripps Memorial for over a year and this delayed me …
Finally, healthcare that is accessible when you need it! I spent so many years assuming that seeing a doctor meant making an appointment several weeks in advance – as if illness can be scheduled. I have had primary care physicians inform …
I’m appalled by their complete lack of professionalism. The doctor was completely bothered by any questions we had. All he wanted to do was rush us through and get out of the room. He spent maybe five minutes with us after he knew this was …
The best urgent care we’ve been to. Breanna is an excellent practitioner. Professional diagnosis, excellent coordination of care with other health providers (including follow up and follow through), 1st class IT system and medical records, amazing customer service.
As a medical professional, this was BY FAR the best urgent care experience I’ve had. Next level, honestly. None of this “sitting alone in a room for an hour waiting for a provider” or “appointment was for 8, and I’m still in the waiting …
This is by far the best urgent care I have been too. I am from out of town and needed immediate assistance. I booked an appointment online. They have several providers and I was able to get an appointment at the time I needed. The staff …
