About Escondido VA Clinic
Treating veterans in Escondido, California, the Escondido VA Clinic provides a variety of services including primary care, mental health care, and a pharmacy. They also complete lab work and pathology reports at this location. Consultation, evaluation, and counseling are available for psychiatric disorders and substance abuse.
Individual and group outpatient therapy can help you heal from addiction, depression, relationship problems, and personality disorders. Counseling groups may address topics like aggression and self-harm. Social workers are on site to help you and your family with finances and housing assistance. They can walk you through addiction treatment or just answer questions when you feel overwhelmed. They can also help you with advanced care directives and crisis intervention.
A specialized women's veteran healthcare program is available here with women’s primary care, oncology, and mental health treatment. This programming includes family planning and lifestyle wellness services. Childbirth classes and postpartum support can be accessed at the Escondido VA.
One thing I like about this facility is that if you have an urgent health issue, they have same day appointments and walk-in express care. This clinic is open Monday through Friday 7:30 am to 4:30 pm. You may qualify for care without registering for VA health care.
Veterans who’ve gone to Escondido VA Clinic say it’s an awesome place with an awesome staff. While some have said the care they received could have been more compassionate, one person said they felt like a human and not just another number when receiving care here.
