Elena Dolgonos

Doesn’t make you wonder why she only has 4 reviews if she’s such a great doctor. With the way Unilocal is nowadays? Where are all of her reviews? Only 3 perfect reviews? Give me a break !
I fyou need anything that would require her checking your medical history don’t bother. She will tell you if there are any problems just call her and she will call you back. When you call her assistant will call you back and no matter what it is they will say that you need to come in and see her or they will tell you the information that does not make sense. For example I have to take off work to come in and get my blood pressure taken, when at my previous appointment when she prescribe me my medicine she told me to call with my blood pressure I can go to CVS and get it done. Going to CVS does not make her any money though so she made me take off work and come in. Then I call because she gave me the wrong medication persistent calls back until I need to come into the office to see her again. She then told me its for my own good. The bottom line is she makes up reasons that you have to come in with no regard to anyone but herself when you call her on it she gets very defensive and gives you an attitude like you are there for her and you were lucky to have her. People writing these reviews probably only come in once a year maybe twice. The second you start having issues or need medication adjustments and you question her methods wait till you see her staff and her react in the most unprofessional way.

I’ve been going to Dr Dolgonos for a few years (Scripps Coastal) and really like her! She’s very kind and very pro vaccine. I need many for my job in medical sales. Knowledgeable too! She’s young, Caucasian and has a cute Russian accent!

I started coming to see Dr Dolgonos after my roommate recommended her to me. My first impression was good. She was really friendly and asked me tons of questions about my health saying she wanted to really get to know me and get a full picture. She seemed genuinely interested and didn’t rush at all. I’ve continued to see her once a year for my annual physical since then. If I ever need another prescription or a TB test for work I just call her office and ask her to request it and she will do it without me needing to come in.

My teenager & I have been seeing Dr. Dolgonos for a few years now and followed her when she moved her practice from Oceanside. She is friendly, patient, compassionate & a great doctor. She gets 5 stars from me, the only reason she lost 1 star is due to one person that works in the office. She wouldn’t give me her name over the phone but she was curt, condescending and just plain rude. I work w/​patients myself & have experienced some very difficult ones, but you never treat them bad! But aside from that, Dr. Dolgonos is one of the good ones that care!
