About Kafri Heart & Vascular Clinic

What is Kafri Heart & Vascular Clinic?

Kafri Heart & Vascular Clinic is mainly a cardiology and vein practice, with weight loss care offered alongside it. It has two offices in San Diego County, one in Chula Vista and one in El Cajon. The Chula Vista office takes calls at (619) 434-0204, and the El Cajon office at (619) 930-9404.

Dr Hassan Kafri is the head doctor. He is board-certified in cardiovascular disease and interventional cardiology, and has over 20 years of experience. Priscilla Inda and Kimberly Johnson are Physician Assistants, and Athmar Yaldo is a Nursing Practitioner. Stephen Yau is also on the team, with no credential stated.

The heart side covers preventative and interventional cardiology, diagnostic cardiac and vascular testing, and endovascular treatment. The vein side covers varicose and spider veins, sclerotherapy, endovenous ablation, phlebectomy and compression stockings. The weight loss side includes weight loss therapy, nutrition for weight loss, weight loss surgery and behavior modification.

The weight loss program runs through a partnership with Enara Health. In its own words: "allowing us to offer one of the best weight loss programs in the country." Patients are seen by one of the clinic's trained obesity medicine physicians, matched with a dietitian and an exercise specialist, and kept in touch through a mobile app. No weight loss medications are named. The clinic does not list hormone therapy, peptide therapy or longevity services. On Google it carries the Cardiologist category and a 4.6 rating from 164 reviews.

This listing is for its El Cajon office at 328 Highland Ave #200.

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices. There is no monthly program fee, visit fee or package price to compare. It does not say whether medication is included in any weight loss cost, so ask.

The clinic offers a free consultation to talk through nutrition and weight loss. It also says it works with your insurance to see how you are covered, so insurance is accepted. It does not say which plans it takes or how much of the weight loss program a plan would pay for. Cash rates, financing, HSA use, membership terms and cancellation terms are not stated. Ask for each one in writing before you agree to a program.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who writes and renews your prescription, and whether that will be Dr Hassan Kafri or another clinician on the team. Ask whether the program fee includes the medication, and whether that medication is brand-name or compounded. Ask what visits, lab work and follow-up cost on top of the program fee.

Ask whether your insurance covers the weight loss visits or only the heart and vein care. Ask how cancellation works and whether any fee is refundable. Ask whether telehealth is available and what the office hours are, since neither is stated. Some of the clinic's materials use the name Kafri Wellness Clinic, so confirm the legal business name on your contract and receipts.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want heart, vein and weight management care from one practice in Chula Vista or El Cajon, and you are comfortable getting prices and medication details in writing before you book. If you need posted prices, named medications, telehealth or hormone, peptide or longevity care, call first and ask those questions before you commit.
