Joanna Nawroski-Wozniak, MD

Worst

Well here I am, renewing my health insurance and with that, choosing a new doctor, why? Beacause the only visit I had with Dr. Nawroski-​Wozniak, Joanna D, was disappointing. And not just her, other staff members too. I was there for a good hour, and guess what? She didn’t even see me, she sent her «assistant» to tell me exactly what I knew. And after they took my blood work and told me to go downstairs to get my medicine, which later I found out was USELESS, for what I went in for, I asked «do I need to schedule an apppoiment to come back?» And they said «no». Oh ok. …so yeah, I didn’t even meet her because she was «too bussy»

I went to Dr. Joanna Nawroski-​Wozniak as a new patient. The staff was very friendly and professional. Dr. Wozniak is absolutely experienced and progressive of health care. The office is very busy but worth a short wait. I recommend this office highly!

I wish it was possible to give zero stars! If you are looking for the worst, most unprofessional and inadequate trained staff look no further, you have found it. This whole office is an absolute mess. I wish there was a higher authority I could voice my concerns about this place because this office should not even be allowed to operate. The receptionist here can barely speak English and will hang up on you of she does not feel like doing her job. Do not go here!!!

I was referred to this Dr and clinic by my insurance — needless to say I had words with them about this experience! It’s similar to others who had to endure going to this clinic. This office is absolutely the worst clinic that I have ever been to. Aside from the low scale sketchy neighborhood and the dirty facility, the staff itself was beyond unprofessional and unaccommodating. I cannot speak much on the doctor’s behalf, due in large part to the fact that my consult with her consisted of about 5 minutes, after over an hour long wait!!!
A week prior, I scheduled a new client exam and had my medical records & insurance information faxed over from my previous physician who’s right here in San Diego! Unfortunately being ahead of the game and responsible and actually coming to this office prepared does not pay off.
Upon arriving 20 minutes early to my appointment (as asked when I called in to make the appointment and had to switch to 3 different people before I found one that spoke English), I was forced to sit in the dirty waiting room with one other person. Therefore, it was NOT busy at the time. When entering the clinic I was not greeted, and had the pleasure of observing one of the techs walking in and out of the back chomping on food like a cow and licking her fingers! It was so gross I should have left, but didn’t.
After waiting for the first 30 minutes, I was then rudely told for the entire lobby to hear, that my insurance information needed to be changed. The irritating part, other than my violation of privacy, was the fact that I had my information faxed over twice in a week prior and was told by the clinic everything was in order. Apparently the staff was too lazy or stupid to actually verify that everything I needed was faxed over. I then spoke to my insurance and cleared up the issue immediately, and then proceeded to wait another 30+ minutes until the doctor decided to grace me with her presence.
My consult with the doctor lasted no longer than 5 minutes and I was given a prescription and sent on my way. Her lack of interest in my health was obvious and I would not recommend ever going to this clinic.

This is the worst doctor’s office I have ever been to. Every worker is incompetent and hardly speaks English and does not understand anything I say over the phone. The doctor is extremely rude and does not even take time to care about her patients. I dropped off a note for school and she refused to speak to me because apparently I was not a client, even though I had been there before, and simply ignored me as I tried to explain what I needed filled out. She then did not fill out the note, which the assistants said she would the next day. I called the following 3 days and was put on hold twice for 20 minutes and was hung up on both times. No one has helped me and does not understand what I am asking for over the phone. Do not go here!!! The WORST doctor I have ever experienced and the most useless staff and office assistants in the world. I will definitely not be returning here ever again.

This place is A Disgusting !!! They lost my paperwork 2 time when I had to bring it in to the office in person every time !!! Every time I made an appointment I had to wait over an hour just to be seen, then another 30 – 45 minutes to actually see a doctor. The worst place I have ever seen. It feels like no one knows what they are doing !!! No one cares about the patience !!! Avoid at all cost !!!

I came in to see Dr. Nawroski-​Wozniak since I got hit with the flu during this horrible flu season. She was very friendly and did a thorough diagnosis and make sure to hear and understand all my symptoms. I told her that I’m not a big fan of antibiotics, so she gave me advise on several homeopathic ways to kick the flu. She also wrote me a prescription for an antibiotic and cough syrup, should I feel any worse.
Plenty of parking; private lot for the clinic. Convenient location and easy to get to.
One star off because there was a bit of a wait and the staff could have been friendlier, but all in all my experience with the doctor was awesome. I will definitely be back!

I went to the office of Dr. Nawroski-​Wozniak today with the severe cold and fever. The service was amazing! I got the antibiotic shoot, prescription, and some pills to take home. You can feel that those people are actually care. Highly recommend!!!

This office is like family. Everyone is so nice and I feel like I am with friends and not in a medical office. Dr. Wozniak is VERY experienced with nearly 30 years in practice she is very good at what she does. Highly recommend.

This doctor’s office is absolutely the worst clinic that I have ever been to. Aside from the sketchy neighborhood and the dirty facility, the staff itself was beyond unprofessional and unaccommodating. I cannot speak much on the doctor’s behalf, due in large part to the fact that my consult with her consisted of about 5 minutes, after over an hour long wait!!!
A week prior, I scheduled a new client exam and had my medical records & insurance information transferred from my previous physician in Texas, unfortunately being a responsible client and actually coming to this office prepared does not pay off.
Upon arriving 15 minutes early to the first appointment slot of the day (as asked), I was forced to sit outside in my car for 20 minutes until the doors were finally opened. When entering the clinic I was not greeted, and had the pleasure of hearing the staff curse and degrade the doctor and her work ethic (shocking considering the staff’s unprofessional manner themselves). Working in the medical field myself, I was absolutely appalled and in shock. I should have taken this as the first warning sign, but tried to give the clinic benefit of the doubt.
After waiting for the first 30 minutes, I was then rudely told for the entire lobby to hear, that my insurance information needed to be changed. The irritating part, other than my violation of privacy, was the fact that I had my information faxed over a week prior and was told by the clinic everything was in order. Apparently the staff was too lazy to actually verify that everything I needed was faxed over. I then spoke to my insurance and cleared up the issue immediately, and then proceeded to wait another 30+ minutes until the doctor decided to grace us with her presence.
My consult with the doctor lasted no longer than 5 minutes and I was given a referral to a dermatologist like I asked. I also requested a new prescription for birth control and was told I would need to come back to pick up a written Rx on another day. Inconvenient, however I agreed and figured I would come back the next day.
The following day I called to pick up my prescription however it was not documented and there was not an Rx waiting for me.
Needless to say, the overall experience with this doctor left a poor taste in my mouth. The staff was unprofessional, unorganized and uninviting. I would never come back to this clinic again, I’d rather visit an ER and pay the difference in price. Be warned, stay away from this clinic!

This place is disgusting. Stains on the floor, cabinets open everywhere, and the staff doesn’t seem to know what’s going on. The doctor herself didn’t even show up until 45 minutes after her office had been open and had people waiting. I myself sat in a waiting room for over an hour before she came in. First time I came her and most definitely the last.

An excellent doctor, and highly recommended. Very knowledgeable, experienced, and caring. Five stars!

I dropped a knife on my foot and since I have an HMO, I called my primary care physicians office at 8:45 am to get a referral to urgent care. The wound didn’t seem so bad that it needed stitches, but I wasn’t sure. No answer, nothing. I tried 5 times and no answer, no forwarding to an after hours call center, NOTHING. I tried calling my insurance carrier to find out what I should do and they couldn’t get a hold of anyone in the office. Then I tried my medical group who finally got a hold of someone and told me they would call me immediately. about 20 minutes go by and I finally call them to find out they wrote my number down wrong, but didn’t have any appointments open for the day, so I could only come in as a walk-​in. When I finally asked if I could just get a referral to an urgent care, they reluctantly gave me one.
I haven’t actually seen Dr. Wozniak, and perhaps she is a great doctor, but due to the lack of after hours help and lack of office staff help, I won’t ever find out.

Well, I finally have health insurance for the first time in about five years. Strangely enough, about 2 weeks after electing an HMO plan and choosing Dr. Nawroski-​Wozniak as my primary care provider, I began experiencing panic attacks.
The first one happened while driving and I was convinced it was a reaction to the stress of my recent car accident, later in the week, I had one at the gym and then one on a smoke break at work. I called the Dr. and made an appointment only to be told I would have to wait two weeks. The attacks became more and more frequent and I was convinced I was dying. I called the doctor’s office multiple times in attempt to see the doctor, hoping for a cancellation. Each time I called the receptionist informed me that the doctor was totally booked.
The day of my appointment finally came and I was so relieved. I had to work in the morning in downtown so I gave myself about 30 minutes to go to the doctor’s office (in city heights). I parked in their parking lot and entered the strange, large office.
I signed my name on a clipboard and took a seat. There was a totally made up blond perfectly coiffed lady behind the front desk who paid me no attention. I was the only English speaker in the office it seems and it was interesting to hear the different African dialects being spoken along with some Russian and Polish I believe. That was cool, I dig diversity.
The lady behind the counter kept asking folks if they had an appointment. Although they responded no, they still put their names on the clip board and were seen promptly. I was left to wait until the lady finally asked if I was new. I responded yes and she gave me some standard papers to fill out and I paid my 10 dollar co payment.
I was then weighed (with my purse and boots still on) by a nurse (I’m assuming) who was listening to her ipod. She also took my blood pressure with that Ipod still on. I was left in the room for nearly 45 minutes until I hear someone muttering «now, where is that young girl?»
In walks the Dr. who happened to be the blond woman. She has a thick accent. I tell her about my anxiety and she tells me I need to relax and focus on my breathing. Then, she decides to change my birth control pills and proceeds to tell me about her daughter for a good 10 minutes. I ask her if she thinks I need blood work, she tells me I need to stop stressing. She writes me a prescription for xanax, telling me; «It’s easy for me to write the prescriptions, you don’t want to be medicated, just take deep breaths.»
I mention my migraines to her, out comes another prescription, this one for maxalt. I am so frustrated at this point, I can’t even argue with her. I take my hand full of prescriptions to the pharmacy and vow to find another doctor for a second opinion.
The icing on the cake, I take my birth control prescription to the CVS on 32^nd and they won’t fill it because the Dr. forgot to sign it. Absurd.
Staff was rude and unaccommodating and I don’t recommend ANYONE ever go there!
