Top notch for sure!

We had a pediatrician picked out prior to delivery (9 months ago), but after my c section they mentioned that the dr we chose was no longer taking new patients.. so they scheduled us a pediatrician. After our sons first check up (with the assigned Dr) a few days after we left the hospital, I had that new motherly gut instinct that this was not the dr, nor the office I wanted to bring my child to for the next 10 years. I went on yelp to find a Dr. immediately after that appointment and came across Carmel Valley Pediatrics. Our first appointment with Dr. D was amazing. She was so sweet, nurturing and really made me feel comfortable as a new mom! She always has time for questions, and as new parents we ask tons of dumb questions and she's always is so sweet and so helpful and makes us feel so supported. I can not say enough good things about her and the other ladies in the office. I get so excited to go in and visit them! Not to mention my little guy loves the office, the staff and Dr. D. So so so happy we found this office. Couldn't be happier!!!

When we met with Dr. Lisa she spend 3.5 hours with us reviewing every detail of our son's medical journey and symptoms. The next day Dr. Lisa had a diagnosis for us (Mast Cell Activation Disorder) and she has stood by our side as we try to navigate this continually changing disease. Dr. Lisa makes me feel calm and confident each time I speak to her and has spent hours helping us work with the school district and other professionals to find the best care for our son. I would highly recommend Dr. Lisa for children and adults. You won't find better care.

We spent a TON of money and received poor technical urinalysis results (basically a print out from the lab; no added value from her as a doctor explaining it in relatable terms). She spoke endlessly in technical terms to my teenager whose eyes glazed over and whom stopped listening (and she continuously repeated herself). Dr L then prescribed an overwhelming number of supplements (rather than finding supplements with multiple nutrients that were needed), that again cost a lot of money. I communicated that the plan was overwhelming and not going to work for us. She did not even try to keep us as a client. Needless to say we ended this relationship and lost a lot of money. (I have never written a negative review on a business before.)

I really really try to avoid 1 star reviews if at all possible. It really bums me out when I have…read moreto write one. Lets start with this: When you say there is an issue and you expect some reaction like, oh I don't know...maybe something like, "I'm sorry to hear that, tell me more about what happened..." but the response of ... "ok" ...well that seems unsatisfying... then you say something much stronger to provoke a response like "I had to take my kid to Urgent Care as a direct result of your office" ... and again you get a very sedate ... "ok"... Now our story from the beginning. A few of the engineers at our company use Dr Mills for their kids, and with their recommendations I didn't think twice about picking her. Before the birth of our child, I called her office was was told she doesn't do prebirth meet and greets. Without collecting any of our information we were told to list her as the pediatrician for the hospital. We first met her in the hospital. Our baby was having a hard time breast feeding. She told us everything was fine, and that the baby was still learning how to eat. Our baby gained weight and continued to see Dr Mills. Our baby was still having problems breast feeding. Dr Mills didn't see an issue. We had lots of lactation consultants look at him and finally we paid $$$ for the #1 Lactation Expert in all of San Diego County to look at him. After a couple seconds of watching him she saw the issue - a posterior tongue tie and a lip tie (something that was missed by about 10 other people looking for stuff like tongue ties). She then recommended San Diego's #1 Pediatric Dentist that fixes tongue ties. We saw Dr Mills about a day after that for our next checkup and she was a little weird about the discovery of a tongue tie, and went as far as to assume there was an issue with the Pediatric Dentist (before even knowing that persons name). OK, a little weird, but OK. We didn't expect Dr Mills to find the tongue tie (10+ specialists missed it), but fighting recommendations by the people that discovered it wasn't helpful. During the 4 month visit he had little redness on his cheeks where he kept rubbing his face (sometimes rubbing his face when wearing mittens). She didn't mention anything about the redness (it was minor). At the end we mentioned it. We were going to not put anything on his hands anymore, and asked what to do about the irritated skin... ...my wife said she thought it was contact dermatitis...that's when stuff got weird again... ...Dr Mills' attitude changed and was she defiant that it wasn't contact dermatitis...we were told it was a yeast rash...we were told it was basically the same as ringworm and told we let our baby get ringworm all over his face...truly awful *if* true...I mean I don't know anything about this stuff and I have to trust Dr Mills knows what she's talking about... She prescribed prescription strength Nystatin and sent us on our way... ...not long after our baby had a really bad reaction from his face down to his chest...we called Dr Mills' office...talked to the office staff a couple times...we stopped the Nystatin before hearing back...stuff seemed to improve while we waited for a call from Dr Mills' office that never came... ...then without any warning it quickly got A LOT worse...his poor face skin turned a darker color was super dry and started to crack and bleed....so we took him to our normal urgent care. The Urgent Care Dr said he doesn't have a yeast rash or ringworm. He had a bad eczema flare up. That doctor told us to go to Rady's Urgent Care and that is what we did. The Dr at Rady's also confirmed he didn't have a yeast rash or ringworm. That Dr did say our baby had contact dermatitis, and now had a bad eczema flare up. The flare up was treated, and the contact dermatitis was also treated. Within a few days his face was healed and was once again perfect. Now I'm not going to accuse Dr Mills of intentionally misdiagnosing our baby for the purpose of shaming us into not Googling our baby's symptoms...but...our new pediatrician showed us pictures of yeast infection/ringworm and our baby didn't have anything that looked like that... In the best case scenario she needs to Google (like we did) and learn that yeast rashes and ringworm are completely different...and the worse case scenario...well...I rather that think about that... ...and yes I said new pediatrician. We didn't switch purely because of the of treating an issue it doesn't look like the baby had. We switched because there was no effort to contact us or help us with the bad reaction to the cream they prescribed. It is a problem if we can't trust the pediatrician to help us. One of the nurses did call me to apologize for not noting for something for Dr Mills respond to, but we don't fully believe it was that nurse's fault (and have a weird feeling she is covering for Dr Mills).

Dr. Mills and Dr. Dailey are outstanding pediatricians who combine strong medical credentials with…read morea warm, inviting, and family-friendly office setting. Unlike some of the bigger chain practices, you do not feel rushed. They take the time to really listen to you and your child, and to figure out the best possible diagnosis. You never feel like you are on a conveyor belt or someone outside is holding a stopwatch. They are friendly and patient and get to know you to understand the whole family context. My kids have had some complicated problems involving elaborate medical analyses. Dr. Mills had the brainpower, training and persistence to get to the bottom of what was wrong, which is what you always want as a parent facing a scary situation. Her repeated ranking as one the the Best Doctors in San Diego based on the ranking of her peers is testimony to her skill as a pediatrician. Dr. Dailey is new to the practice but not pediatrics and brings a very warm presence to the exam room, connecting emotionally with kids and setting them at ease. This connectivity enables her to examine the child thoroughly and get to the bottom of the problem (if there is one -- we all want healthy children!) The office and staff are welcoming and friendly and have worked together for many years. This is the very opposite of factory medicine. I highly recommend this practice to any family looking for top quality pediatricians in a family-friendly setting.

Translation = this dude is good and my herpes flares up less because of it. It has been acknowledged in medical journals that compared with other methods of evaluating quality, assessment of patient perceptions of their doctor offer several practical advantages such as their inherent greater sensitivity to differences in the quality of care compared to traditional indicators like adjusted mortality rates or complications rates.

We should all be so lucky.

The woman, Amonda, said she could do a portion based on my choice. I asked if I could wait and she recommended against it but said it was my choice. I said I guess I will do the upper but I don't understand how you don't have the full orders when scheduling had them. They stated the 2 parts and told me to expect to be there for 90 mins. Amonda then interrupted and put her hand up in front of my face and said let's be clear this is your doctor's mistake. It is his mistake if the orders weren't put in correctly but it is also scheduling as well as imaging. She then rolled her eyes at me. Now I m angry and probably not the most pleasant, but take some responsibility and watch how you speak to people, especially after a mistake like this. At that point I requested another person do the test otherwise I would reschedule. She said she was the only one so I asked for her supervisors info and she said she would let her supervisor know and I said no I want her info as I do t trust this to get passed along. She had to go to the front to get a card and her supervisors info. I asked her to write her name on the back and she stated it. I said I asked for you to write it down and she rolled her eyes again and said well I was, then I interrupted her and told her to stop as she wasn't helping things. I am so unbelievably disappointed with how this woman treated me, and even more disappointed with how this fell through the cracks. You are wasting peoples time and interfering with their care and lives by not having better follow through! I am hoping this was just a fluke but I have been seeing more and more like this happening with Scripps, and it is bothersome. It is unfortunate because they have some maxing doctors. I will be having this and future testing done outside Scripps from this point on.

She listens to all of our concerns, examines the children very gently, and always does what she can to make the kids feel at ease. It also seems like she also goes out of her way not to be judgmental of the way I parent. Whenever I raise concerns about whether I'm doing something right or wrong, she always reassures me that I'm doing ok, that my children are healthy and thriving, and she has a way of putting things in context that I understand not to blow it out of proportion -- all without her saying so explicitly and without sounding condescending. I was pretty surprised to hear that other patients have had to wait for their appointments. My little one needed to go in every few months in the beginning, as is typical, and I don't remember a single time that we had to wait beyond out appointment time. The office has also been very accommodating on the several occasions when my children got sick (ear infections, colds, etc.) and they were always able to fit us in that day.
