Dr. C was new to this office, so this was my first visit with him. I really liked his demeanor. I felt like he listened to my concerns and could explain things clearly. I will definitely continue to see him for my medical needs.

Dr. Cuenca had already reviewed all my records and knew exactly what needed attention and what was going on before I came in. He's extremely prepared and knowledgeable. I felt listened to and not rushed.

More about Dr. Arnold E. Cuenca, DO
For patient safety, MemorialCare Medical Group providers will not prescribe most controlled substances (including opioids like codeine, and benzodiazepines like valium) for new patients they have only evaluated via telehealth, rather than in person. Many controlled substances have a high potential for abuse, and overdose on controlled substances may result in death. Without an in person visit, the potential risk outweighs the intended benefit.
If you believe you may need a prescription for a controlled substance, please schedule an in person visit.
Dr. Cuenca began his path into the medical field by attending Western University of Health Sciences in Pomona, CA. After medical school, he moved to South Bay San Diego where he eventually served as Chief Resident of the Scripps Family Medicine Program. As Chief Resident, not only did Dr. Cuenca continue to fulfill his role as a teacher, but also managed to expand the sports medicine curriculum. He would eventually join Scripps Coastal Medical Center in Oceanside, where he provided care for several years until relocating to MemorialCare Medical Group in Mission Viejo.
Beyond his normal work duties, Dr. Cuenca has lectured at both local and national conferences on topics of Family Medicine, Sports Medicine and Practice Management. He currently serves as a board member for the Family Practice Management Journal (FPM), which is a peer-reviewed journal of the American Academy of Family Physicians. He has also served as an educator by mentoring pre-med and medical students, as well as resident physicians.
Due to his interest in Sports Medicine, Dr. Cuenca completed a one-year fellowship in Primary Care Sports Medicine at Western University of Health Sciences-OPTI/San Diego Sports Medicine and Family Health Center Program. Du

A Doctor from this facility, in the past, was not concerned that I passed up pap smears and Mammograms. Dr. Cuenca pressed me to have these tests done and I did, now I'm current with all the tests that I was in need of. I needed to be nudged, Dr. Cuenca is a God send, I'm grateful that I now have a Physician that is truly concerned about my health, my faith has been restored. I really feel good about the medical group that is looking out for my health.

Dr. Cuena was very kind and made sure to be mindful and patient with me. I had severe pain that he checked to make sure wasn’t an extreme injury and referred me to physical therapy to begin my healing journey. Highly recommend for any sports related injuries!
