Oceanside 420 Alternative Medicine Evaluation Center

what a racket! $ 100 for a rec??? I laughed & walked out, but there were a lot of suckers sitting for hours waiting to be ripped off & seemingly unaware that you can get a rec online in 20 minutes for $ 49.:) which is what we did. people! Oceanside’s corrupt city govt has clearly allowed this shady place to flourish (it has a virtual monopoly on rec places in the city limits) but for goddsake don’t give these crooks your money. go online & send a message that «shopping locally» doesn’t have to mean bending over. nuff said.

Paula was such a nice Doctor! She asked a lot of questions and really got a sense of what is going on with me. She asked about all my ailments and gave me instruction on what I could do to feel better. Very genuine. Michelle was very knowledgable about all the strains and which one would fit me best. She was very sweet also. It was a very pleasant experience. I recommend them both, super awesome.

I went to the Oceanside 420 Alternative Medicine Evaluation Center to get a recommendation for cannabis as I am getting treatment for cancer. I walked into the Center and was put at ease by the very nice waiting room and the friendly person (Michelle) behind the desk. There was even a curious little dog to pet! I filled out the paperwork while watching some informative videos. When I was called in to see the doctor, I found her to be friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable. She examined me, listened to my questions, and had some good non-​cannabis related suggestions for me. I really liked her. I’m going to suggest the Center to my friends.

Fast, fun and educating appointment here. The waiting room is very pretty and inviting. The receptionist and Doctor were both SO warm and welcoming! I had a wonderful experience and I was definitely well educated on the use of my medicine, and what type to use for each ailment. I will absolutely return here for my renewal. I highly recommend coming here!

Dr. Shore and Michelle are AMAZING, seriously the best. The office is fun and quirky, and the information you get from Dr. Shore and Michelle is better than you will get anywhere else. Very knowledgable, can tell you where to get the best meds for you, and the appointments are timely but not rushed. If I didn’t have to move to Long Beach for work, I’d still be going to O-​side 420. Heck, might have to take a sick day from work and make the drive anyway.

I came here not knowing what to expect. I was nervous because I wasn’t sure if getting a medical card would be a problem for me or not since my Driver’s License is out of state (ended up here due to military). They accepted a copy of my lease as proof of residence in California.
The front desk lady was very friendly when I came in and the doctor, she was amazing.
I suffer from PTSD and not only was she able to help with getting a card and tell me which strains would be good for me, she went above and beyond when I explained to her I was having trouble with the VA.
She pointed me in the direction of Wounded Warrior and I can’t thank her enough for caring!
I recommend this place for anyone who needs a medical card or to renew it.

Waiting room was comfortable and the information distributed by the staff is excellent. Leather chairs, TVs with informational video.
They had a sign posted:
«If you are expecting to walk in/​out in 20 minutes you’ve come to the wrong place. We actually care.»
They certainly care.

The Doctor and staff are super friendly and very helpful. If you need alternative medicine, then this place I highly recommended. They listen to your needs and help you find the right solution to your medical problem.

This place has done wonders for many of my friends and family. I am so glad that they offer alternatives to medicine. I wish they took appointments for new patients. One can wait here for 3 – 5 hours. But I assure you it is worth the wait. I wonder though if current patients have it any easier. What if you need a renewal? Do you have to wait with everyone else to be seen? I hope that everyone waiting here today has a positive experience!

This is one of the best location and their staff are very professional and friendly. They will tell you what’s the best medication for symptom.

This place is awesome. With a convenient location in downtown O-​Side, you can’t beat the ease with f access and the professional service. I found both as a new patient and for renewals the experience was a fast timely evaluation and great reference material to local services.

The staff was very nice and helpful, and very informal. The atmosphere was very calming as well, the tone and color of place is soothing. And Dr. Shore was very kind and helpful. She even gave me a cream to try see if it would help:)
great place and very professional.

So helpful. Gave me the full rundown as the what was what, where to go, what to get. They were so helpful and nice. Straightforward I love it

Nice staff, great atmosphere. Only downside is there are a tad slow. Plus is they give you the option to walk around and they will call you when you are next!

I’ve been a patient of this practice for 3yrs now. Dr Shore &Michelle are both great ladies. From day one i was able to build a very comfortable relationship with them. Being that i wrk in the medical field. Dr. understood i was looking for medication to help me sleep while using my cpap machine. I did not want the typical sleeping meds that could leave you hung over or just not fully rested. Also being a former Marine. I suffer with a lot of aches and pains. That i now again medicate at night. Again didnt want the pain meds and all the issues that go along with that regimen of life. Plus, i like my job and i am able to help spread the wrd to other pt. s who might be looking for a alternative medication that could be just as effective for them as it has been for me. I dont medicate during the day ive learned to manage my pain during the day. So at night i look forward to the rest that awaits me at the end of my day. All i can say is thank you Ladies for being Here and always remembering me. As always its a pleasure.
I look fwd to seeing you ladies out and about.

Great Experience.
I was pleasantly surprised by the thoroughness of my consultation. Dr. Shore advised me on several health issues that I have and how to manage them. Some advice should have been given to me a LONG time ago by my other doctors but no one spent the time with me until today at Dr. Shore’s office.
The wait can be a little time consuming but rest assured that you too will have your time with the doctor and you will respect the wait once you see the attention she gives to her patients.
I am glad I chose this location and doctor. Not only was it close to where I live but the treatment I received was stellar.
I highly recommend Dr. Shore.
Thanks for caring.

This place is awesome! You want to make sure to get there early because they fill up FAST. There is a little bit of a wait but it’s well worth it if you want a good doctor who will listen to you. They also have incentives for referalls and such which are nice. They want to take care of you and will keep a record of whatg works best for you. From what I’ve seen there’s only two people here; the receptionist and the doctor, both of which are incredibly patient and kind people. Definitely recommend this place for new and renewal patients!

This place isn’t *just* any «real deal». There is just simply no comparison! Places like this one show that there are people who truly care about people (and sees them as humans rather than numbered patients) and who won’t stand for shady malpractice. In fact, it is rather unfortunate that this facility can not be my primary care provider because so far, they are the only one who has cared about me primarily! «Doctors», take some good notes from a place like this, please!
I’ll be surprised if I ever see another place that made me feel so cared for and comfortable at the same time.

What an amazing place. Oceanside 420 really takes the time to listen to your concerns and needs and tailor makes your plan for you.
Just an amazing experience all around. Thank you for your service.

I waited way too long to seek out a recommendation.
The waiting room is so purple. It has health related literature and a TV that had Judge Judy playing. In order to save some time, Doc came out of her office and briefed about 7 of us on how to use the medicine she recommends. Cutest old lady was in there with me getting carded up too, don’t feel weird about the process.
I went in with a friend without an appointment for my initial recommendation. After about 20 – 30 minutes in the waiting room total, I was called into the office to give my symptoms that led me to seek a recommendation. Doc recommends strains based off of what ailments you have, and recommends collectives where you can get what you need.
Easy process, no one makes you feel awkward, staff definitely cares. Michelle at the window was really nice. Can’t remember Doc’s name but she was a sweet heart too. Nothing but positive things to say about my experience.
