"This is one of my favorite places to go when I have any doctors appointments. The staff is always so friendly. And Doctor Dawson is amazing because she listens to your needs and really helps to get to the root of any problems. So I highly recommend this Doctors office."

"Doctors on duty in Marina is a great place to go to. The staff is professional courteous and follows through. There are outstanding resources for mental health at this location. I've been here several times and will go back as needed to follow through. Doctors on duty and general is a great place to go when you have challenges with your health care network. Continuity of care between various locations works well and I have been pleased with the outcomes. I strongly suggest this location for your health care needs."

"I just recently had a telemed appointment with Dr Dawson from doctors on duty Marina. Was by far the best appointment I've ever had with a medical professional. She took the time to listen, address any and all concerns I had regarding various issues with previous care as well as future care and all options available. We agreed on what I/we need to do going forward and how I/we were going to do it. So glad I found this place and Dr. Dawson."

"My doctor, Dr. Slippy, is so caring and if she's not on time for my virtual visit I'll get a call from their office and a notice on my phone that she's running late. Its always been less than 5 minutes. Face to face visits are the same. Everytime I've been in the office it's either vacant or 1-2 people in the waiting room. It's not packed with people like their Salinas counterparts and I like that. Their office is quiet and I see everyone working hard to give everyone individual service. I've never experienced anything negative. I live in Salinas and I prefer to see my doctor in Marina. If your doctor is at DOD Salinas expect a very long wait with people filling the entire waiting room. Be sure to use a mask while there. If I had long waiting time I would definitely mention this to my doctor or go to a different Doctors on Duty office. You can also ask for a different doctor and maybe the new doctor would work harder to be on time. You are their bread and butter so if they start losing patients I believe they would have to change because you want a physician that will respect your time. Your time is just as important as theirs. I would definitely ask your doctor why he's late all the time. Tell him you can no longer have these long delays or you'll have to obtain a different doctor. See what he says and if you don't like it, find another doctor. I think some doctors get into a rut and they just are always late. There's no ill will but they need to be aware of it and make changes accordingly. In the end I love this office in Marina. Perhaps they don't have a lot of doctors there and if they don't treat you in the way you like to be treated, all I can say is stop torturing yourself and find a different doctor. All doctors are different and I'm sure you'll find one that you're more comfortable with and will make that extra effort to be on time for you."
