MediCann

Just called medicann, The concord office is closed down.

I have been going to Medicann for years now. Over the last three years or so I have noticed one has to call and ask for Medicann to mail out your Medicann card. This year, after going to the Concord location for my renewal, I have called three separate times on three separate occasions and each time the employee at Medicann tells me they are mailing out my Medicann card and it should arrive in a few days, but still no Medicann card arrives.
Also the State of California has been trying to contact Medicann on my behalf, so that I may get my state issued medical marijuana card (MMIC). The MMIC department has called me and said that they faThe State has tried to call them, as have I, and the Medicann phone number is not working.
Medicann has not responded to the State of California for my medical marijuana card and will not send me my Medicann card I have already paid for. Do not go to Medicann. This is not as reputable place.

i have been coming to this clinic for 5 years now. i checked the web site for this location just to make shure yep hours thurs-​sat –10−2pm allright ! showed up thursday 10:30 am no one there. called medicann they said oh yea hes only there tuesday and sunday this week… really? what the fuck? you cant update your website? and everyone i spoke with at medicann headcourters seems like a brain dead idiot unwilling to help, just gave me the oh well come back next time and let us take your money attitude. well you know what? FUCK this place and FUCK medicann, you have lost a 5 year patient and i will NEVER be coming back. this is a busisness run it as such and be professional, my 13year old cousion could do a better job. YOU GUYS SUCK

Got my card here for the first time a year ago, now I’m excited to go back and renew it, I always feel safe having it on me at all times… you just never know who’s gonna f*ck with you…

Do not go here they have terrible customer service and I still didn’t get my card. Greenway in San Francisco or Oakland Evaluations are the spots to go.

I’ve been to a few different places — including the medicann office in Oakland and I decided to come here since its close to my house. The doctor here makes you feel very uncomfortable. He questioned me as if I was lying and said he needed my records, I didn’t bring them since the appointment was a renewal with medicann and told him I didn’t have them last time for my renewal in Oakland. He told me it wasn’t a medicann (it was) and only approved me for 6 months till I brought in my records. That was last year — I went to Oakland medicann for my renewal today and it was a far better experience. It is worth the drive and the doctor is very friendly. I’ll never go to the concord office again… unless they get a new doctor.

I opted to go to MediCann as it was much closer than where I have gone to in the past. However, Dr Toke makes that place just seem like another sleazy place where they would give a recommendation to anyone. I filled out an extensive information sheet which he never even read. He stared at me like I was an idiot and made me feel very uncomfortable, although my medical records and surgical scars give much credibility to why I was requesting a recommendation. I suspect it is the only job Dr Toke can get, he is probably resentful, sitting in that cramped, dark, dull office dealing with people he likely perceives as just some stoners.
MediCann tries to give the image of being very legit but really, when you are having the MD seeing 6 – 8 patients per hour, how legit can it be. It was just another doc in the box operation — taking our $ 150 for something that should be legal. No doubt in my mind that MediCann is behind the proposition for legalization failing.

I have to say … the other reviews of this place so far are fairly accurate. I am a first time medical mj patient so this entire experience is a new one that I am still getting used to. So, I am glad that it was a breeze getting in and out for my first time — I just expected it to be more professional than it felt.
I also had Dr. Toke — He made me feel uncomfortable, and I found it strange that he didn’t talk! I went in prepared, I had documentation of my condition, medical records, and my prescription medications. This didn’t appear to matter, although he did glance at my MRI report, briefly. I am interested in not taking as many prescription medications, and wanted more information on how medical marijuana can help me for the conditions that I have. My appointment was less than 10 minutes and the majority of that was him one-​finger typing my diagnosis, which was 11 letters total. He did type it in twice though.
The lady at the front desk was easy to talk to, and answered more questions than Dr. Toke did. The waiting room leaves a lot to be desired, and my impression of a couple of the people waiting was that they just wanted their pot and this was an easy way to get it. The office location does look like it is in an old apartment building. Not necessarily ghetto to live, but ghetto for a Dr. office.
Another reviewer states that she would have loved to gain a professional opinion rather than a professional signature — I feel that is a fair statement and I agree!

For the first time, I just got my medical recommendation. I’ll admit that I am happy about receiving that —
On one hand, its great that people can easily get a recommendation to stay out of the law’s way and avoid being hassled for the stupidest of reasons.
On the other hand, though, I didn’t find this place to be very «legit,» or very helpful when it came time for questions regarding marijuana and my medical conditions. Actually, the doctor didn’t even say one word to me. NOT A WORD. I’m not sure what kind of doctor that is… one that is more concerned with getting my money? It didn’t make me feel very comfortable or reasured that medical marijuana is proper for me, even though I have been smoking for years. When I walked into the office, I can definitely see what people are talking about when they say that medical marijuana is just an excuse… This place didn’t seem very professional. While I smoke pot, it would have been wonderful to gain more information about when I should smoke, what I should smoke, and HOW my medical condition can be benefited from marijuana, not just be told that it helps. Also, I thought it was weird that nobody at the clinic talked to me about the laws — sure, its on the paper, but really? Isn’t this supposed to be a doctors office? Also, in the waiting room, it was obvious that some people perhaps did not have a medical condition and were making small talk with the receptionist about blazing their asses off on the couch.
I think that this is spot is great if you want to be in and out, and don’t have medical records. That seems pretty weird to me for a doctors office, but okay! Whatever it takes to be legal… I’m not sure who to go to now about my questions. I’m very curious about what the doctor would have said to a cancer or aids patient — hopefully they would be treated with better curtousy and told what to expect.
In the end I’m happy I won’t go to jail or get fined, but I would have loved to gain a professional opinion rather than a professional signature.
ps. I thought the building was in a good location: I accidently walked into a place that said «24 hour clinic» at first, but medicann is right around the corner from that! I wouldn’t call the location is ghetto at all; its just a 60’s style doctors office located on hospital grounds. If you feel like you are in the ghetto, at least there is a hospital a few feet away.
I was excited about getting my recommendation from Medicann because I heard that they have the most clinics, the best reputation for costumer service, and ²⁴⁄₇ verification. Its great to be in and out of a doctors office so fast, but perhaps a little more professionalism would have made me more comfortable.
Cost me $ 150, they take cash, debit, and credit.

right in the old neighborhood… been seeing doctors in this building since i was born…50 years ago… nice and professional… the peeps that were scared are really babies that don’t get out much

Like the other reviewer, I’m docking the one star for scary lookin’ location. (Note, it is the 2600 building, its on the first floor, down the hall to the right when you step into the main part of the open air building) I remembered their website being top-​notch and gorgeous, which confused me when I arrived at the lack luster building. Inside though, its back to the professionalism you expected. Otherwise, the trip was painless. I had Dr. Toke as well, with a name like that, how could you NOT get your recommendation. LOL, okay. He’s not the friendliest, I had to make small talk with him. He only asked me about one item on my patient history, and nodded. He signed and sent me on my way. So I suppose that’s also why I took away one star. The front desk chick was super nice. So, all in all, no complaints, and I’ll definitely send my friends here.

Just got my rec the other day. I been having a bad case of diarrhea and the doc said cannabis would help ease my stomach. I was in and out of there within 10 min! I got home smoked a few bowls and found that my diarrhea had been totally cured. Thanks Medicann your the best!

Medicann is a great place to go when you need a doctor’s recommendation. All you need is a prescription from your doctor for something that marijuana can help and you are set. My dad just got his card in Oakland at Medicann I got mine in Concord. Oakland had a little wait we were in and out in about 45 minutes no problems. Concord had no wait in and out in 15 minutes. That’s what I’m talking about.

I was kinda sketchy on going here at first because none of my friends had been there and there were no reviews for the Concord office. However MediCann as an organization has good reviews so I decided to give it a try. Besides it was cheaper than the doc in Oakland my friends had been to.
So I made an appointment and drove downtown to find this place. It’s like behind John Muir kinda in some doctors offices that look like an old crappy apartment building. Kinda looked like somewhere you would go to buy weed from a black dude rather than somewhere you would see a doctor. But I’m alright with that. I don’t like doctors offices anyways.
I found the office and checked in. The blond girl behind the counter was pretty cute and very nice so that was a plus. I filled out a simple survey about my medical issues and how much I smoke and how it helps me. The doctor called me about 30 seconds after I had given the girl my paperwork and paid her. It was 150 $ rather than the 300 $ that my friends paid in Oakland. Good deal.
The doctor was an Indian dude I think, and get this. His name is Dr. Raja Toke. Dr Toke. How cool is that? I wish my last name was Toke. I was trying hella hard not to laugh. I talked to him about my problems a little bit. He wanted to see my medical records but I didn’t have any with me. My injury is an obvious one so he approved me anyways with the agreement that I will fax them my records when I get a chance.
I went back out and the cute blond gave me 2 copies of my recamendation. One to file at home and one with my ID copied on it for getting into the clubs. Then she took my picture for the ID card that they will be sending in the mail.
All in all I was in there for maybe 30 minutes. It was so quick and painless that I wish I had done it a long time ago. Now I’ll sleep easy and pain free thanks to MediCann and Dr Toke. Dr Toke rules.
PS. I’m only docking the score 1 star cause the building was kinda ghetto.
