I am 60, still working full-time, and I play a lot of competitive tennis. Other, so called, orthopedic specialists told me I was fine, and I did not have a syndesmosis injury and missed diagnosed my broken leg. They told me to get used to being sedimentary and forget about playing tennis. Dr. Dreeben saved me from a future of pain and suffering. The ankle she worked on is even better and more stable that the one that was not injured! She even cleaned up, removed scare tissue and repaired injuries I sustained in high school. Amazing!

Started in the exam room with very pleasant woman who discussed my symptoms and prior treatments…read more She said Dr. Hoenecke would be in along with someone else to examine me. I stated that I would prefer to see Dr. Hoenecke alone and she said she didnt know if it was possible because they pay them as well. I explained I thought it was the paitent's choice if they wanted to see the doctor only (as I have done with many other doctors with no issues). She said she would mention it. 15 minutes later Dr. Hoenecke came to the door of the exam room. He stood at the door (not entering the room) and said. 'WE ARE A TEAM! IF YOU DON'T SEE HER... YOU DON'T SEE ME'. I was taken aback by his abrasivie, combative, uncaring statement. He never entered the room, never introduced himself, never tried to explain the situation. I immediately exited the room telling him he should make new patients aware of his strict policy. He told me if I didnt like it to call Administration, which I did. Mind you I drove 140 miles round trip for this nonsense.

I was looking for a cardiologist that specialized in Arrhythmia…read more After glancing through numerous websites , my eye caught the Cardiac Arrhythmia Association in La Jolla After looking at the physicians bio , I decided to give them a call. A lady answered the phone. Now I don't know about you, I like to be greeted with good afternoon, good morning o just good anything. I dismissed the harsh hello and I went on to ask the types of insurance they accepted. The response was " we accept hundreds ". I was now more excited .so I asked if they took my type of insurance.. she said that a physician had to refer me, we haven't gotten that far yet. I asked if they were in or outside my network when these unkind words came out of her mouth" well then usually like to see their own people". First I was completely confused. Their own people? I asked myself. What is that mean I thought to myself. Since I could not come up with a logical explanation I had to ask. What did that mean She replied . The Naval hospital. They like to send their people to naval hospital. The word their people did not sit well with me I explained to her I was not a prime patient and by now I had lost my flair I felt uncomfortable frankly . Like some thing was the matter with my kind of people I am no different than the next person I am proud spouse of an active military . I am proud of my husband and frankly the insurance tricare is known to be one of the best groups Regardless of being a prime which is HMO or select (PPO) people need to be careful with their delivery do not label me before you get to know me My advice for those physicians that trust their practice to employees who answer the calls is that don't put your trust in them . Because you just lost a patient In these times of uncertainty, despair , and people calling for justice and fair treatment teach your people the same And as far as for the young lady, although you though you knew all your plans , you couldn't differentiate prime from select Nice job. Next time when you pick up the phone learn to smile , people do pick up on your bad juju

If you are like me.. going to a Doctor's Office is usually not something you look forward to…read more However...I have had regular visits at Dr. Levine's Office since last year (2014) after a work accident. They have changed my attitude about Doctor visits. It is the most efficient set up ever... they text me a week before to make sure I remember my appointment and usually call the day before just to make sure I'm good to be in the next day. I'm always greeted with a warm smile from Virginia and the entire friendly and helpful front office staff. Sonia who usually calls out my name and takes me back to the exam rooms... does so with a familiar smile and always seems concerned about my progress. When I have to go in for updated x-rays Vivian keeps me laughing and completely at ease. You'll be one of the fortunate ones should you choose Dr. Sidney Levine, a genuine gentleman with a great manner and an incredible staff! See you in six months Doc!

I am not even going to say anything about the attitude of the workers here...they all seem miserable and so unhappy. Palomar health is soo poorly managed. The sad part is that no one really cares to do anything to improve patient care. Thank God, I am changing my insurance at the end of this month as I would not send my worse enemy here to get healthcare. Palomar Health, you are losing your precious few patients you have left.

I would strongly discourage anyone from choosing Dr. Robin Spearing based on my mother's experience…read moreunder his care. Her experience was one of the most frustrating and disappointing interactions with a physician that our family has ever encountered. Dr. Spearing's bedside manner was consistently poor. He often seemed dismissive of concerns, unwilling to listen, and lacking in basic follow-through. One of the most unbelievable and recurring issues was his habit of leaving the exam room, saying he would return, and then never coming back. This happened so frequently that my mother eventually addressed it directly during an appointment. As he was preparing to leave the room, she told him that he had a habit of saying he would come back and then never returning. His response was, "I promise, promise I'll be right back." He then walked out and never came back. My mother was absolutely stunned. To have that happen immediately after it was brought to his attention was both shocking and incredibly unprofessional. Another incident that raised serious concerns involved blood work. My mother specifically asked about her blood sugar results and was told everything was fine. She later discovered that her blood sugar had not even been tested. Learning that he had provided reassurance about something that apparently had not been checked completely eroded our confidence in the care being provided. There also seemed to be constant turnover among the nursing staff. Nearly every appointment involved a different nurse, making it difficult to establish any consistency or continuity of care. Patients deserve a physician who listens, communicates clearly, follows through on commitments, and treats people with respect. Unfortunately, that was not my mother's experience. She frequently left appointments feeling dismissed, frustrated, and unheard. Based on what our family experienced, I would not recommend Dr. Spearing to anyone seeking attentive, patient-centered medical care.
