Cesar Jimenez, MD

I don’t write a lot of negative reviews because I believe that you cant please everyone and that there will always be disgruntled individuals however, I felt compelled to write this to assist those who rely on others’ experiences to help make the right decision when choosing the right physician. Please consider this review and those others with the same negative ratings a WARNING to stay away from this place. Someone very close to my heart was recentky diagnosed with cancer. A few days before xmas actually so you can imagine how difficult and heartbreaking it was. Unfortunately, this doctor is her primary care physician and being that she has HMO, every referral has to go thru this doctor. I have to admit that dealing with the staff and trying to reach the doctor here for the last two and a half weeks has been a nightmare. Getting the referral processed in a timely manner is nearly impossible. Following up on the status of things is like pulling teeth. They are the most ignorant, disrespectful, uncaring, rude, unsympathetic and the worst individuals we have ever encountered in this field. The complete lack of compassion for people who are in need of medical attention is beyond words. The staff to name a few Mrs. Jimenez who runs the office and Lourdes at the front desk are extremely inappropriate with the way they have communicated and mistreated my love one and some of their patients. Their negative attitudes is an epitome of how horrible this practice is. This place should seriously be shut down. We have filed grievance with the insurance company. The next step is to file a complaint with the medical board of California. This place needs to be reported. Please if you are looking for a health provider, stay away from this place. … Yes, we are in the process of switching to a new doctor.

If theres negative 0, I would put IT!!! My sister has a cancer and they dont give her a proper treatment, the receptionist which is the Doctor’s wife is sooooo RUDE…

I have been a patient of dr. Jimenez for 6 years, I have not wanted to change doctors because he is the only dr that has been able to manage my asthma. I left a review almost a year ago, and unfortunately nothing has progressed with dr Jimenez’s staff. I called to check my eligibility and Yadira rudely said «well you’re not eligible, maybe because of you’re Unilocal review, we figured you changed to a new dr»
I asked her what on earth my review had in correlation to the questions about my eligibility, when I asked to speak with someone else who could address my concerns I was transferred to Lourdes who unfortunately was no better at communicating, far from professional and rude, I was harangued for approximately 7 minutes on the phone until I gave up and filed a grievance. It’s a Unfortunate that staff gives such poor service, and I’m shocked at how low their ethical standards are. I hope to find another dr in the area that has helped me just as much.

been coming here since i was in college and i dont feel comfortable going anywhere else. dr is always good to me and staff here is always accommodating. thumbs up

Dr. Jimenez and everyone at the clinic take great care of my grandma. We’ve been going to Dr. Jimenez for 3 years now and we are more than satisfied

I don’t care what everybody says!!! Dr. jimenez and the whole staff are very helpful. They’ve help me with my insurance with my medication and refills… I noticed when I’m waiting in the waiting room I see patients that DEMAND to be seen right away and the staff is just trying to please them but the patients just act out!!! And if people are going to comment negative shit on Unilocal them look for a different doctor. I’m sure the doctor has more than enough patients… Fuck all the negative comments!!! the doctor, his wife, and the staff are great people and if you don’t like it call your insurance and switch doctors is that easy!!!#enoughsaid!

Dirty, rude, and beyond mediocre care.
The lady that is at the front desk is the doctor’s wife and believes to be a doctor herself but she is plain out a receptionist. She gives people attitude and treats patients, and her husband the doctor, like trash. She yells and argues with the doctor in Tagalog and in case you don’t know what she is talking about, she will point at you speaking a language you don’t understand. She is awful, and since the doctor abides by her rules, the care he provides is way too poor for anyone to survive. I highly recommend to stay away from this place and give your insurance money to someone who will at least try to help you get better.
I wish I could give negative stars but the lowest I could select is 1.

My Mom has been a patient of Dr. Jimenez for 12 years and sadly to say she is going to change her Primary Care Physician. We believe that Dr. Jimenez is a good Doctor but his staff are rude and unprofessional. My Mom takes Thyroid medications and it’s been so hard to get refills. This is not a narcotic and she needs it daily. The staff did not care at all. They wanted her to see the MD first before getting the refill and the earliest appt is in 2 weeks. The Medical Assistant Lourdes said «Well, she’s just going to have to wait!»

I’ve been coming to this doctor my whole life but I noticed it has changed tremendously. Knowing that there is no more walk in appointment and dealing with the rude staff is too much to deal with. If you were sick today you would probably have to wait a month and a half to get seen and I mean this literally. If you have a choice DO NOT go here.

Dr Jimenez is is a terrible doctor and his office is dirty and scummy looking. I had an issue with pain in my left foot heel. he falsified information on my podiatrist referral and it took 3 weeks to get a denial letter. when I went back in for another appointment he told me to continue to exercise it in that I was too fat and to lose weight. he gave me no insight on the fact that I had plantar fasciitis which I later found out through my new doctor at Alta med. my new doctor was able to discover that I was flat footed on my left foot within 5 minutes of my visit. they got me an instant referral and I’ll be making my appointment this week. do not go to this doctor he’s an older gentleman and should have a lot of experience but he doesn’t he’s pretty dumb. very disappointed in his services. filed a formal complaint with my insurance company.

Worst service… The receptionist is rude and never helpful. The doctor never follows up with clients and he is always out. Office hours are really bad. Oh and the window to see the receptionist is hardly ever opened… Avoid this place!

some of my family members have been coming here to Dr Jimenez’s office for years. I got really sick one day & I needed to see a doctor but I had no idea where to go or who to see. My family told me about Dr Jimenez & what a great doctor he is. I decide to take their advice & I payed a visit to Dr Jimenez. When I got to the location I wasn’t quite sure What to expect, I was a bit confused because I was expecting a big hospital, instead I saw a small clinic from the outside that resides in a shopping center next to some condominiums. I walked into the clinic I was a bit surprised because when you walk inside you walk right into the waiting area & people staring @ you witch can be quite uncomfortable. As you walk inside you will see the check in window witch its filled with lots of papers taped all along the wall corners of the check in window. Its quite overwhelming when you see this collage of papers witch inform you of different things, such as procedures, schedules, health benefits etc. On the counter you will see the sign in book, you come in sign in your name, time of arrival appointment or no appointment & you sit down & wait. if you’ve never been here before don’t expect the receptionist (Dr Jimenez’s wife) to acknowledge you or help you, she will keep that check in window closed & you’re pretty much on your own or asking the people in the waiting area to help you. If you have no insurance the Drs visit is $ 75.00 cash, credit or debit. Dr Jimenez’s wife has a very strong character she’s extremely rude, to the point & very very short with the patients who come here, DO NOT EXPECT A FRIENDLY WORD OR THOUGHT FROM THIS WOMAN, YOU WILL NOT GET IT. SHE’S VERY RUDE & QUITE THE B***H. after having to frequent this clinic a few times Dr Jimenez’s wife no longer bugs me, all I do is look forward on seeing Dr Jimenez. Once you get to go inside the patient rooms, the rooms are small & clean but a bit run down. I have been to many Drs but what keeps me coming here is Dr Jimenez, he’s extremely thorough & friendly. When he examines you he will tell you exactly what is wrong with you & he actually takes the time to talk with you & listen to you. Not like other Drs who are in & out of the room like a ghost & by the time you remember what to ask the doctor is already gone & its a little too late. Drs Jimenez takes about 15 – 20 mins with each patient witch it may sound like a long time but he does give you his time witch I LOVE VERY MUCH. Over all my experiences have been wonderful & I have been well taken care of by Dr Jimenez, I will keep coming here till I cant no more. Thank you Dr Jimenez

If you have a choice, RUN AWAY from this doctor’s office. You will only get sick (more) for the mean, disrespectful manner they give patients.
I’m usually the type of person that gets along with people easily. Least they can do is show some humanity. Geez. The front desk here simply RUDE!!! Never been given so much attitude in my life for being a person in need of some very light help. I’ve gone here several times and always let it go. But they’ve pushed my limits. Even talking to them on the phone is a nightmare!
Getting an appointment is also tough. The office waiting area is very small and usually never enough, i’ve often had to wait outside and pop in&out of office to make sure they haven’t skipped me (thinking I had left). Even with appointment, they take the longest time. And the wait is just «endless», regardless.
Doctor, as usual, doesn’t really listen to patient’s situation but only makes the patient feel like they are making up how they feel. Who in the right mind would pay for a doctor’s visit only to lie about their conditions? He always interrupts me as I try to work my way up explaining my health. Never show such care or genuine compassion.

When I first heard I had to come to this location, I Unilocaled out the place and kinda freaked out a bit in hearing the [3] reviews. Though to be fair, two of the reviewers had only 1 – 2 reviews on their profile, so I kept an open mind about it. Here’s my initial impression:
Parking is easy enough. The office resides in a small plaza. On one of the windows to the office, a sign said they did circumcisions… and no, I did not have that procedure done. I came for a routine checkup.
The receptionist (who turns out to be the doctor’s wife) could definitely be more attentive to those in the waiting room though. The window is covered with various signs and knick-​knacks on it. Should just do without all of it and it would at least appear more professional.
I got to the place 20 minutes before my appointment at 11am, and wasn’t seen until 25 minutes afterwards. Which is weird because I was the only one in the waiting room the whole time. And while we’re at it, get some new reading material!
The place isn’t dirty per-​say. I’ve had to go to hospitals in Shanghai before. THAT’S dirty. The furniture and some of the equipment is a bit old though, so perhaps a better word would be ghetto.
But once you get past all that and actually see the doctor and nurse, they are very friendly and accommodating. He’s actually one of the more helpful physicians that I’ve seen in a while.
Only time will tell if I’ll be seeing him regularly, but so far, so good.

I don’t care what anyone says. Dr. Cesar Jimenez is the best doctor ever! I live in NY and I have my own Primary Care Physician here, but whenever I visit California, I always make sure to make an appointment with Dr. Jimenez for a follow up just because he’s a wonderful, caring, doctor. One of the best out there. He’s a doctor I haven’t been able to find in NY and I wish him and his family would move to NY to be closer to me.
Location is great too because it’s right next to the best KALBI place ever!
We all have our opinions, and this is mine. Keep up the great work Dr. Jimenez! I shall see you soon!

Place is very dirty. staff is rude. the lady at the window does not acknowledge clients and will crack open her window to talk to you if you wait long enough. warning this place should be shut down for how dirty it is; as i was in the patient room the ceiling light cover had dust balls and who knows what else as well as spider webs hanging down. this place looked like a knock off 99 cent store. i am waiting for my open enrollment on my insurance to get reassigned to another doctor. if i could i would give it a worst rating… the doctor seems nice though…

Service: Poor
Doctor: Poor
Staff: Poor
Location: Poor
Cleanliness: Poor
Service: When it comes to service none of the staff members know anything about customer service or politeness. There is a note on the wall reading «beginning December 1^st all follow up visits for blood work results or x-​ray results will be charged their co pay before receiving their results!
That is just plain robbery! — 1 Star
Doctor: The Doctor received his degree from outside of the USA. I would prefer someone who received it from a reputable College. I never trust Dr’s from other countries. This is just my personal preference. When going in for a Sinus infection, this Dr. ignored my request for examination and never examined my Nose, ear, or throat. All he gave me was over the counter medicine and said lets try and see if this works. — 1star (If I could give a negative result here I would)
Staff: The staff here was rude and unwilling to help or answer questions. The front desk lady never opens her window unless you knock first and when she does open it she gives you an attitude for interrupting her personal phone call. The medical assistants were all walking around with confused looks on their face. — 1 Star
Location: The location is horrible. It is inside of a small shopping center hidden away on the right. If you want to talk about hole in the wall, this place takes the cake. As soon as you walk in you are inside of the tiniest waiting room I have ever seen. Take a look at the picture I posted. This picture was taken from the front door! — 1Star
Cleanliness: This place was dirty! I would not be surprised if you were to find dead roaches somewhere in the corners. The examination rooms look unclean as well. — 1 Star
