Pros
Cassie Jo is an absolute ROCKSTAR. She is on top of everything, insanely quick to respond, always ready to remedy any confusion or errors, such an incredible nurse advocate—will go to bat for you in the blink of an eye—as organized as anything I’ve ever seen, and just genuinely kind, caring, and compassionate. I seriously cannot say enough incredible things about her. She is the best and I am so thankful for all of her help, guidance, knowledge, organization, reassurance, skill, and friendliness.

About
Oceanside sits at the northern end of San Diego's glorious stretch of coastline. The quintessential laid-back Southern California beach town enjoys fabulous, mild weather year-round and boasts a picturesque New England-style harbor and a historic wooden pier that's the largest on the west coast. From the harbor, you can embark on everything from sailing, kayaking and paddleboarding to whale-watching tours and fishing charters. The pier offers a great place to cast a line and watch surfers ride the waves. Head to the nearby California Surf Museum to learn more about the town's surfing culture. When it comes to tasty eats, Oceanside is a foodie’s paradise, with lots of fresh fish and seafood, often featured in Baja-style tacos and Hawaiian dishes. It's easy to shop locally with lots of independent boutiques and other venues located on or just off the Coast Highway, Oceanside's main drag.
