Calpulli Health Center

It’s FREE for all SDSU students, and for that alone I would give it 4 stars. I was able to fill out paperwork, be seen by a physician, x-​rayed, and diagnosed for a long term injury in under two hours. That was the first time I’d ever been there, and I didn’t even have an appointment! Plus, it was the cheapest prescription I’ve ever paid for, wrist splint too. Sure the wait can be long at times, but what doctor’s office doesn’t have a long wait? If you go to SDSU, take advantage of this service, though I’d recommend setting it up through the website:

Pretty decent, been here a few times because I was sick constantly my freshman year while living in the dorms. Calpulli offers many free and discounted services to students and many students don’t even know this.
They have counseling, meditation, tests, vaccines, a pharmacy, optometry, dentistry, and more.
One experience I had was a bad asthma attack and they took me in immediately — gave me pills and a prescription for pills (really cheap!) and also recommended me to go my health care provider so I can get new inhalers for cheaper. Everyone was nice!
They actually recommended me strong inhalers and my actual health care provider never even recommended me and it helped a lot.
CONS:
Not open ²⁴⁄₇
The man at the front desk in Urgent Care. He was rude every time I came in — people come in upset and sick as it is, be nice.

I know a lot of people say that Calpulli isn’t the best… but why should it be??? This place is 100% free to use for SDSU students! I think that in this day and age, that is simply a miracle.
Therefore, this place gets 4 stars. I came for an appointment to check on my back, and got proper care from a certified physician. I don’t look forward to coming back here, but was impressed by the courtesy of the staff and the efficiency of the medical practitioners.

Yes it is horrible because it’s slow and bureacratic… but it sure is convenient when you’re broke, have no insurance and are sick on campus…
I probably used it the most Freshman year because I conveniently lived on campus.
Some things you probably didn’t know they offer
–Smoking Cessation Counseling
–Dental: they offer a good dental plan and Invisalign Discount!
–Vision: Pretty good discount here too
–Meditation classes
–Other run of the mill: Counseling, Vaccines, Urgent Care, etc
The biggest thing that sucks is having to pay for services at the pharmacy downstairs and then go back upstairs if needed… why? isnt there a better way to do this?

I wish i could have the option to give it negative stars. DO NOT go here. I mean if you don’t have a health care plan and you go to SDSU, then obviously go b/​c its included in your tuition so its better than paying. BUT i am still on my dad’s so i can go elsewehere. and to be honest if i didnt have a plan, i STILL wouldn’t go.
THEY ARE TERRIBLE. I’ve gone in twice.
1^st time: treated me like an idiot and that i was 8 years old lost and looking for my mom. I’m in college. I obviously have a vocabulary equivalent to yours so stop.
2^nd time: hoped that maybe my bad experience was due to the nurse having a bad day or whatever. WRONG. went in, had a bad cough and told them it hurt to breath. They said «well maybe you should stop smoking.» EXCUSE ME?! just b/​c i’m in college does NOT mean i’m into drugs and crap like that. you don’t know me so do NOT talk to me that way. SHe treated me like i was on something and just didn’t know what to do. I straight up said «i’m taking my business else where. Good day.» went to UCSD family and sports medicine and was diagnosed with broncho-​pnemonia. Gee thanks Calpulli.
i’ve known so many people that have been misdiagnosed here multiple times. when whatever they said to do didn’t help my friends and they went elsewhere, they were properly diagnosed and saw immediate help with their recommendations.
DO NOT GO HERE.
