This is the worst experience I have

ever had with a doctor.
I am a vet surgeon and I know how communication is important with the clients.
He by far has the worst communication skills. So reluctant and ignorant to the patients. (So funny that in his biography, it’s said: ‘the communication with the client is important for him’….;) are you kidding me!!!!!!; His ignorance to the patient is so rude.

My family went to his office for medical exams for green card; he asked us to update the vaccines (
which my kids have already got).
He asked us to get all the vaccine the same day at the place he gave us the address. (Thanks god we didn’t and got all the records)
The day I supposed to get the approved letters, they called me and asked for more documents , which never were asked for. So I had to get them ready.
Of course this is my opinion but this is mostly other clients opinions; I saw 2 other his clients outside and they told me they don’t like Dr. Baniadam but
they are too old to change their Doctor.

To sum up, don’t choose this place to go, especially for Iranians which would like to see an Iranian doctors ( he doesn’t speak Farsi ) and doesn’t respect anybody includind Iranians.

Dr. Baniadam at Mission Urgent Care has been a godsend.
I needed a regular doctor and picked him at random off my insurance list of providers. So glad I did.
His no-nonsense, practical approach lets you know he is watching what’s important. First visit he gave the no b.s. rules of the road, (paraphrasing) “I am generally available for you to come in whenever you need to, but I don’t prescribe opiates or drugs often abused, you’ll have to find that elsewhere.” I was sold. Since then I had one possible serious (non-emergency) condition when I was out of the State on a weekend and called him late on a Saturday night. He returned my call promptly, and said I want you in here so I can examine the problem as soon as you can get here. He saw me first patient that Monday morning, first thing, and we took care of it. His explanation of the science is helpful. I have never waited too long in the waiting room and his staff is very kind.

While visiting Camp Pendleton on business, I became very ill. Thank goodness the folks at my hotel let me know about Mission Urgent Care and Dr. B! They got me right in, friendly staff, and a thorough exam. My diagnosis was explained and my options were discussed before he proceeded. A follow-up call from the office the next day was much appreciated as well! Being in the medical field myself, I recommend whether visiting or a resident of Oceanside, you head Mission Urgent Care!

Dr B at Mission Urgent Care center is a kind, caring and thorough doctor. I never feel like I'm being rushed like in most medical offices and he genuinely seems interested in whatever my issues is. His staff is competent and friendly and I love the office space...cute, comfy and clean.

I told this supposedly professional person that I ONLY wanted bloodwork for thyroid levels because i was out of my thyroid pills, I made it CLEAR to him that in a few days I was headed back to my home state and had an appointment for a physical when I got home. He ordered almost a thousand dollars worth of blood tests even though I told him AND the 2 girls drawing my blood I only wanted thyroid levels. Then my personal doc in my home state said that even though my liver enzyme levels were slightly out of the normal range, he ordered more liver tests. Talk about being money motivated. I made it absolutely clear to him I was only there for urgent care. BEWARE, unless you don't care how much money he bilks you for.

I went to this URGENT CARE center for bronchitis. They told me the visit would be approximately $100.Dr. Baniadam insisted on a complete blood work panel, strep test, and a test for asthma. I had broncitis. He would not treat me unless I agreed to all of these expensive unnecessary tests. I had paid the co pay and given them my insurance information He refused to give me any prescriptions unless I had an asthma test. I had agreed to the blood draw and the strep test which was negative (I TOLD HIM I'VE NEVER HAD STREP). I told him my regular MD had done those blood studies very recently and offered to fax the report to him. Since I refused the asthma test (I'm 56 and have NEVER HAD ASTHMA) he insisted I needed to go to an ER. I left there, untreated and very disturbed. I no longer authorized them to send my blood work into a lab. My Insurance was charged $490 for service I never received. Upon refusing to pay the final $7 on my bill he has put my claim out to a collection agency.
