Candace Basich, MD

Great doctor! Dr. Basich has great bedside manners. Unfortunately, the office staff is terrible. These ladies need classes in customer service and listening skills. They didn’t even feign pleasantness when I stepped in 30 minutes before closing to simply drop off a form. I then had to play phone & note tag to have said form filled out because they couldn’t understand the purpose of the form and took it upon themselves to decide whether or not the doctor would fill it out. It was a simple request that would have saved me from having to pay cash for an exam that my insurance would pay for in only a couple months (which I scheduled) and saved my child’s hard won scholarship. I didn’t ask for them to do anything extraordanary or illegal. They seriously only had to present the form to the doctor to have it filled out but instead left a series of condescending messages about why they wouldn’t because of the forms instructions, completely disregarding why I needed them to fill it out, which I had explained. They are so flippant and unhelpful I decided to see another doctor rather than have to deal with them. Well, that and also because since they wouldn’t fill out said form I have to go pay cash somewhere to get someone to fill one out based on an exam that wasn’t due for another 2 months. This office is expensive to pay cash and last time I had to (because they couldn’t sort out my insurance), the doctor told me that nothing we were doing was expensive but the front desk lady (another dolt) totaled it up to about $ 375 as we checked out. She didn’t even quote me correctly. I ended up getting a bill of over $ 500 after that! After my insurance company contacted them, I was finally able to get a refund for the part I paid and they took care of the ridiculous, «not that expensive» expenses.

Wonderful, terrific doctor!!! I highly recommend Dr. Basich if you want a doctor that really cares! Office staff is great also!

I needed to find a new doctor after II moved from out of state. Dr. Basich was accepting new patients, so I met with her to establish a relationship, and complete the new patient paperwork so I would be able to get right in when as needed. She spent a good amount of time getting my medical history and answering my questions about who to see for various specialties. I was happy to hear they are a one stop shop and can get my annual exams right there. She was very personable, genuine, and thorough. I am very pleased to have found her and hope she stays in San Clemente for a long time!

I was nervous about choosing a Doctor. I have had numerous experiences with Doctors who had the same personality as a door. Dr. Basich was confident, took her time and spoke intelligently and with concern and pride. I feel lucky to be her patient. A real gem. She addressed my concerns and made me feel cared for not just looked at!

I had been avoiding going to the doctor for a few years because I’ve never had a good experience. I finally decided to bite the bullet and made an appointment with Dr. Basich based on her many favorable reviews. Well I was not disappointed. First, I only waited 10 – 15 minutes before being seen, something I’ve NEVER experienced in my life, it’s always been 45 mins at the least. Second, Dr. Basich actually seemed to care about me, what a concept! She was attentive, took her time and answered all of my questions. Seeing her was actually an enjoyable experience. I will no longer be avoiding my doctors appointment but actually look forward to them!

I got an appt fast, I didn’t wait forever. She was friendly, nice and did all the labs I requested. I’m a picky healthcare practitioner myself and I will def refer my own patients to her from now on.

Dr. Basich has miracle hands. I felt a lump on my right breast and when I went in to see her it suddenly wasn’t there anymore. Okay it probably was because of a multiple of other factors. Haha.
Her staff was very professional and friendly. I will continue to see her for routine care.

Really great doctor. Just established care with her… I felt really comfortable talking to her and asking questions. She’s very nice and seems to care about her patients a lot! So happy to have found her.

I selected Dr Basich as my new PCP without meeting her based on what people had been saying. I was not disappointed. She is young, but very intelligent and well spoken. She knows what she is doing and is knowledgeable on all topics that I have addressed. She is very kind and compassionate, but in a professional manner.
I am very happy to have found her.

Absolutely fantastic doctor. I have never before been able to say my visits to the doctor are a pleasure, but Dr. Basich is in a league of her own. She speaks to me like an intelligent adult, is always attentive even to the most minor or embarrassing concerns, and invariably gives a confident and effective diagnosis — as well as being warm and friendly in manner. As mentioned by other Unilocalers, her obgyn qualifications are a godsend too. Thank you Dr. Basich!

Dr. Basich is amazing! I have been seeing the same Doctor for 17 years. I decided it was time for a change. I am so blessed to have found Dr. Basich. She is kind, caring and really listens to my needs. I highly recommend her and her awesome Staff.

Young, but professional manner without being aloof. Seems very caring and takes her time to really listen.

Friendly clinic with bloodwork available downstairs. Plus, she’s an Ob/​Gyn in addition to practicing family medicine. Friendly, and I felt like I was being listened to.
