Oceanside 420 Alternative Care

Oceanside 420 Alternative Care strives to be patients’ number one resource and clinic for medical marijuana information and doctor evaluations. Fostering personal relationships with their patients, they are vocal advocates for medical cannabis policy and work hard to provide access to this natural medicine to as many patients as possible.

Dr. Paula Shore achieved her Doctorate from the College of Osteopathic Medicine at Kansas City University of Medicine and Biosciences, accumulating since then over twenty-three years of medical practice. After treating many patients who shared their own personal cannabis research with her, a particular patient named Michelle proposed that she could help a lot of people by making evaluations available. Convinced of its medical advantages, Dr. Shore and Michelle teamed up to help patients receive medical marijuana evaluations in 2011. In the years since they have helped over ten thousand individuals, 65-70% of which remain in contact after their first session.

Oceanside 420 Alternative Care prides itself on its ongoing research into cannabis, continuous since they first opened their doors. After conducting in-house research, they were able to figure out exactly what strains work best to treat symptoms of PTSD in veterans. Currently, they have not lost a single veteran to suicide. Dr. Shore and Michelle also work with legal consultants and advocate for all of their patients. Highly active in the political space, they’ve dedicated their work and lives to make sure medical marijuana is completely decriminalized and accessible to patients in need.

Dr. Shore and Michelle specialize in one-on-one specific patient treatment and counseling, prioritizing education on the legalities, medical applications, and any other questions a person might ask. They offer affordable prices for all doctor evaluations and renewals, as well as a referral program where if a patient refers ten other people their renewal is free. Oceanside 420 Alternative Care offers unparalleled follow-up communication avenues for their patients, available to answer any questions over text, email or phone twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. Evaluations are performed on a first come first served basis for walk-ins only, and renewals are served first if they check in within an hour of opening.
