I had serious respiratory problems when my doctor referred me to them…read more (I had been to respiratory rehab at a local hospital which wasn't very good so I had my doubts.) But La Mesa Rehab was AMAZING! I'm able to function now WITHOUT carting that dang oxygen concentrator around all the time. They are also so friendly, and always challenged me ,and always encouraged me to do better. They really enjoy their work and make La Mesa Rehab a friendly and fun environment. My only complaints are that (1) they are in La Mesa...wish they were closer to my home...but they are worth the drive...and (2) that Medicare requires me to take a few weeks off every so often (but that's not their fault). They are always encouraging me and treating me with care & respect. Everyone there was amazing and friendly! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND LA MESA REHAB

I was referred to Dr. Peavy by my neurologist for an assessment of Apnea while awake. Since I have…read morea brain stem injury, I thought finding a rehabilitation facility that says they specialize in physical therapy and respiratory therapy--and even Neuro rehabilitation (see YouTube channel)--I was absolutely relieved to get this referral and hopeful I would finally get the help I needed. Sadly, it was all false advertising. When a medical assistant is assigned to help someone with a brain injury who has a history of seizures alone and yells "Help" 3 times to colleagues because her parents is having a focal brainstem seizure and cannot get air in or out... those colleagues should have come running after the first cry for help. Though Dr. Peavy mentioned some recommendations while face-to-face she did not identify those recommendations in her report to my neurologist. I am uncertain whether I caught her on a bad day or if she's always rude to patients. If she asked me an open ended question, I went to answer it, but two sentences in, she said I was wasting her time. When she asked me another question, as I began answering, she said, "This is why you can't get help, you waste everyone's time." I live with a communication disorder from brain injury. Answering new questions on the spot without prior time to practice a concise, one word answer for a complex situation, is challenging at best. Ultimately she didn't know where to refer me and chose to drop me because although La Mesa Rehab claims to provide care for neurological problems, neuro respiratory problems is a bridge too far for this respiratory therapist. If living with a brain injury, and sensory flooding causes problems, this clinic is not for you. They give instructions, set a timer and walk away so there are timers going off all over the room-filled with clients working at different places. The clinic is set up to work as many patients as possible--so they will literally tell you what to do and walk away. Then they all congregate at their table area and chat while patients do workouts without close supervision around them. I was very disappointed and abandoned without the respiratory interventions Dr. Peavy mentioned in our face to face conversation. I sent multiple emails requesting what she stated in person, but Ultimately, since the conversation wasn't recorded, she wasn't willing to provide what she'd promised when we first met. She discharged me because I was too complex for her clinic. Removing "neurological conditions" from the La Mesa Rehab YouTube channel would prevent them from getting complex patients with "neurological conditions" outside their scope of practice.

Having been treated by several Drs, my condition was worsening as the side effects of the inhalers were awful. I had made a referral and was introduced to DrCooper by phone. He called me prior to our first visit and informed me that he was not comfortable with results of the most recent lung test done by another physician, and ordered a new set . His opinion was correct, the prior test results were wrong, I was unresponsive to the prior treatments because I was allergic to some ingredients in the medication prescribed prior. He took the time to explain what was going on, what he was doing, and told me he hoped to see me in 1 year. I have not had a bout with emphysema or bronchitis since I've been under his care. Much gratitude for you I'm eternally gram

Dr White sent me for a bunch of testing so she could be able to give me accurate answers regarding my pulmonary issues. They were able to do many of the tests in their office. The respiratory therapist was able to show me better ways to ensure my inhaler was getting in to my lungs. I also had my sleep study done in their office. The gentleman that helped me was kind and patient. He answered any questions that he could. He also asked me questions about my sleep study which made me feel more confident in the process. Dr White has also had interns in with her and they have been very kind and professional. Dr White was able to diagnose that I have a paralyzed diaphragm and I know from previous x rays that I have had this for 5 years that no one before had bothered to diagnose. I will be getting a review of more tests next week. So far this has been one of the best experiences I have had in a Drs office. Dr White was through in looking thru what my other specialists had done so she could be as accurate as possible in her final diagnosis. So far so good I am glad my general practitioner sent me to her. She always spends time to see if I had questions regarding what we have done so far and she has never rushed me out. Thank you Dr White .

They insist on me filling out things or doing things that are unnecessary or that I've already done and then do petty things to mess things up. So, before my appointment today I filled out everything about me and my medical health online during a lengthy checkin process. It took me 30 minutes to fully complete it. When I arrived today the woman helping me wanted me to manually fill out paperwork with all of the same information and I refused and said you've already got it all and I'm not filling out duplicate information. She insisted on me giving them my insurance card when I don't have an actual card. I have my info. I've never needed my card. They always have my insurance number and company and info and do not need my physical card or a copy of it to bill the insurance company. But she was insistent and i told her the above. I asked her to cancel an upcoming appointment with another doctor there about this point. In fact I asked her twice to cancel it. She said she would. I got called back for the pulmonologist and he was actually fine. No issues. Come back out to make a followup appointment before I leave per the doctor. Make it with another lady there. I then asked her if the appointment with the other doctor there was canceled like I requested and she said no it was not. I told her to cancel it. She did. She set the followup appointment with me. I left. The previous lady did not cancel it like she said she would. Sigh. I get a text after I left saying the appointment I just made had been moved to the day prior than what I just made. I suspect the First Lady with a bad attitude moved it just to be petty. This is awful customer service. Just not a good experience. She was power tripping. Had an attitude and did things to be petty and to screw with me and my medical stuff. It was a lot of unnecessary friction. A simple check in at the front desk of any medical office should be easy and pleasant. I'd give zero stars because it was that bad. But one star is for the doctor because he was ok. Also, Dr. Hsing their sleep doctor is not a good doctor if you have a circadian sleep disorder like DSPD or DSPS or Non-24 or other. His treatment of me and my condition was the worst I've ever encountered and I've seen many sleep doctors over the years. He is completely backwards about treating those type of disorders and gave bad advice and no realistic help or treatment to me at all. I am extremely knowledgeable about Delayed Sleep Phase Disorder and treatment protocols and he is just absolutely wrong. Attached is the plan he came up with that if he tried to follow it himself he couldn't. It's an impossible plan. If you have DSPD or N24 I'd run to another doctor and skip this place. He's their only sleep doctor. Unfortunately. He may be ok for sleep apnea but not for circadian rhythm sleep disorders. He covers all of their locations. Anyway. Front desk is a real piece of work. I will not be going back after I'm done with the pulmonologist I saw today and the stuff he ordered to get done. Update 4 months later: One of the meds the Dr. prescribed to me needs preauthorization. The staff at this office does not know how to handle a preauthorization. Most doctor's I see know how to get an initial denial from insurance companies through that initial denial and I'm never even involved and they do it fast. This office got the initial denial and accepted it. Then prescribed another medication that got denied. Then didn't work the denial and then prescribed me a 3rd inferior medication for my condition that gives me bad side effects. I've had to message and call them multiple times and stay on top of them to try to get them to actually work the PA like it should be to get what I need medically. Again other doctors offices do this all on their own without me ever having to babysit or stay on top of it. They just do it. Sigh In the future I'll find somewhere else to go. I would probably advise the same to anyone reading this.

She is consistently competent, thorough, smart, and efficient, all while showing genuine care and concern for her patients. Recently, Dr. Liang and Hannah truly came through for me when the clock was ticking -- what a team! I had less than a day to get a provider‑completed oxygen form sent to British Airways in London to ensure I could board a flight the next business day. With the time difference, the window was even smaller. When I realized late at night that this form was required, I got zero sleep. I called the office first thing in the morning, and they were immediately on it. Dr. Liang completed the form quickly, and Hannah called me right away with the necessary questions. Thanks to their urgency and dedication, the form reached London before the deadline. In a pinch, you want a doctor who is not only exceptionally skilled, but one who will take time out of an already busy day to help a patient in need. Dr. Liang is exactly that doctor. Thank you to Dr. Ni‑Cheng Liang, Hannah, and everyone at Scripps Coastal Pulmonology. Your commitment made all the difference.
