I recently had to change my primary care physician from Scripps. While I really liked my doctor…read morethere, having to wait literally months for an appointment was simply unacceptable to me. I was extremely fortunate to find Dr. Sexton. After my very first visit, during which he spent a considerable amount of time with me and truly listened, I left his office feeling incredibly optimistic. I had the immediate sense that having Dr. Sexton at the helm, guiding and overseeing my care, was going to be a life-changing experience. I'm so grateful to have found a physician who is not only knowledgeable and thorough, but who also takes the time to make his patients feel heard and genuinely cared for.

Went here today. Been here before. Both times the front desk workers have been bad. They have…read moreattitude. 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. In the future I'll find somewhere else to go. I would probably advise the same to anyone reading this.

I have been seeing Dr. Ni‑Cheng Liang for a little over a year now. A friend referred her to me,…read moreand I have since referred others to her as well. 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.

I have done chemo, radiation, everything under the sun. About 6 months ago, I came across Dr. Stenglers office a more alternative/holistic side of healing. I can't say enough good things about Dr. Stengler's office. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted by an amazing staff who truly make you feel welcome and cared for. The facility is always spotless, which makes a big difference when you're spending time there. The team is incredibly knowledgeable--honestly beyond belief--and they take the time to explain things in a way that makes you feel confident and informed. Appointments are always timely, and you never feel rushed. What stands out the most is how much they genuinely care about their patients. You're not just another appointment on the schedule, they really take the time to check in and support you. The infusion room is another highlight: it's calm, quiet, and has such a friendly atmosphere that makes the experience so much more comfortable. The nurse Greta, is beyond sweet and really takes time to make you feel welcomed. I meet with Dr. Stengler and Dr. LaBeau often and I truly look forward to the days I get to go. Which says a lot, considering the last place I want to be is at another appointment. I highly recommend. I wish I would've came here when I was first diagnosed. I have told everyone I know about this team and I pray they listen and go check them out. There is so much information out there, the staff here will help you with a treatment tailored to YOU, YOUR body and YOUR healing.

He talked with me about that which was really helpful and I'm going to get Botox for migraines with him soon. I will update my review because getting help with chronic pain is very complicated and Dr Eli was very confident that he could help find the source of my pain not just add on medications to treat the symptoms...

While trying…read moreto schedule Botox treatment for facial pain, I had a rude interaction with a staff member and the call ended abruptly. When I asked if there was a manager I could speak with, I was told there wasn't one available and no one ever followed up with me. Later I received a message saying Botox appointments were being paused due to insurance reimbursement issues and my appointment was canceled. I understand that insurance logistics can be complicated, but I would have appreciated at least being offered the option to self-pay, especially since I know the office has offered Botox as a self-pay treatment before. I respect Dr. Sachi and the care provided, but I hope the communication and patient experience on the administrative side improves so other patients don't have a similar experience.

I've had two annual physicals with Dr. Tagdiri's team, and both experiences have been thorough and personable. My most recent visit was with Sara Mihalko (PA), who clearly took the time to prepare for our appointment. She walked me through each aspect of my lab results with care, asking insightful questions about my overall health. Sara also provided thoughtful recommendations and clear action steps to help optimize my health, all while ensuring I never felt rushed. The front desk staff has also been excellent, with clear communication and efficient billing. It's refreshing to have a local, neighborhood practice rather than a large, impersonal clinic. If you're in search of a reputable internal medicine practice, Dr. Tagdiri, Sara, and their team are truly the best
