San Diego Clinic | Cost and Reviews

My brother developed stage 4 colon cancer in spite of aggressive treatment in the best facilities in Texas. When he was unable to tolerate any more chemotherapy I sought the assistance of a brilliant doctor, graduate of Stanford University, with whom I had previously worked. After much research and site visits to multiple clinics, both in the US and Mexico, we opted for the San Diego Clinic. It proved to be the best choice based on their comprehensive, scientifically proven protocols. My brother went through the treatment and began feeling better within a few weeks. It's been almost a year since and he is as happy and well as I have seen him since the onset of his cancer. His PET scan was normal, much to the surprise of his Texan physicians. A recent book titled "Fields of Poison: Migrant Fartmworker to Crusading Physician" by Michael Halperin details my experience treating and preventing pesticide illness in farmworkers in California during my career. National and international experts in toxicology write "...story of extraordinary brilliance and tenacity of Dr. Antonio Velasco in overcoming systemic racism and injustice in America". Also, among my awards I was honored as the California Family Physician of the year in 1992. I am not trying to glorify myself, I simply like to convey the fact that I had been a firm believer and practitioner of traditional medicine and had never considered alternative treatments in Mexico, especially Tijuana where some unscrupulous doctors have tainted the image of the quality of medical services. I also received treatment Systemic Lupus and now feel better than anytime in the last 22 years since my diagnosis. I recommend San Diego Clinic with the upmost confidence to anyone suffering from cancer or immune disorders.

I received excellent care from Dr. Munoz and Dr. Mancilla. Both doctors are compassionate and caring, and Dr. Munoz understands cancer better than any doctor I have ever met. They are wonderful doctors. I have met a few patients who have gone into complete remission, under the care of these doctors. The cost of the clinic was much more than ever disclosed. There is a complete lack of communication when it comes to discussing the patients financial obligations beforehand, and preparing them for these types of charges. It's nothing to spend $100,000 at this clinic. I wish I had known beforehand because I would not have started treatment that I could not afford to finish. I spend $40,000, another $5,000 on food and lodging. I am a single mother, and spent every dime I had, unfortunately I ran out of money before I was ever in remission. I did see improvement on my PET scan, however now all my money is gone, and I am no better off now than I was before spending every dime to my name. I am currently being treated at Kaiser. This is my 4th diagnosis in 23 years. I have done chemotherapy, endocrine therapy, and surgery in the past. I've been in remission 3 times, unfortunately not as lucky this time around.

The clinic is not fancy, but Dr. Munoz is an excellent doctor and very honest. He has put stage 4 breast cancer in remission. He tries to keep the cost low because he knows how expensive it is to heal from cancer. He will spend time with you explaining everything and he truly cares for his patients. I had a reaction to a bone drug so I didn't go to the clinic that day. I had chills and a slight fever. I wasn't sure if I was just coming down with something. When my friend showed up at the clinic and she told him why I didn't show up, he hopped in his car with another doctor and came to my hotel room to check me out. He explained it was a reaction to the bone drug. Dr. Munoz also tailors your protocol to your specific cancer. The clinic is totally outpatient, but they do have deals for their patients at several hotels in the area. I would bring my breakfast and we were usually done for lunchtime. I was sent home with an extensive home protocol. IV'S 3 times a week and one of them being IPT.

Was treated very well with a specific plan for my personal bio-chemistry and deficiencies. My tumours which were inoperable are now operable as my tumours have shrunk by more than half.

Thanks to Dr Munoz, I am now officially in remission from cancer. I cannot thank Doctor Munoz enough for everything he has done. Can you share any important tips for anyone considering this clinic? For anyone with stage 2 or above cancers, this clinic personalizes all treatments. It’s not a “one shoe fits all” place.
