They also have a cancer prevention program. Since 1963, Dr. Ernesto Contreras, M.D. and his son, Dr. Francisco Contreras, M.D., have treated over 100,000 patients with an outstanding success rate. The hospital is very clean and modern by American standards. The staff all speak English. When we visited this facility, we were impressed with the professionalism and efficiency of the medical personnel and we particularly like the fact that each patient is assigned a personal companion who is always on call to provide whatever non-medical help may be needed.
Patient rooms are spacious and attractively furnished.
Oasis provides free transportation between the hospital and the San Diego, California, airport. Potential patients are encouraged to have a free phone consultation with one of the hospital s doctors before deciding to undergo treatment. In addition, in 1999, The Gerson Institute moved its facilities to Oasis and this is where Charlette Gerson is currently working. Oasis uses mostly alternative therapies, but in certain situations they may use a combination of both conventional and alternative therapies. They are having some good success with this.
