My husband went to Dr. Coufal for a 2nd opinion on pending cervical spine (C3-7) surgery. Dr…read more Coufal was very thorough in his evaluation of the MRI's and medical history we presented. But, what was most impressive, was that he first asked my husband what was going on with his neck, what he had already done to address the problem, and how he felt about the surgery. Then he explained what the MRI showed (more thoroughly than the 1st neurosurgeon did), and then gave his recommendation. Since my husband's neck didn't bother him, and he had other medical issues he is dealing with, we were all in 100% agreement to call off the surgery and just monitor things every couple of months. What a relief my husband felt. Highly recommend Dr. Coufal.

The therapists had to leave every 5 minutes to go get this, go find that, print something, look at schedules. I swear they spent more time on these other tasks than me. I found a new local PT and we did more exercises in my initial consult than I did in 3 days at Scripps. Also scheduling is a nightmare, over 3 weeks the best I could get is 4 appointments, that's basically 1 session per week! I would have to fight for openings with every other patient when a text would come through with the new opening, if I didn't reply right away it was gone. Why can't I just book 3 appointments a week, why do I have to fight to get an appointment?

First off, so easy to find parking and they're not charging you $10 plus to go see a doctor. I find that ridiculous in other medical buildings. It is so easy to navigate and very clean and calm when you walk in. All the staff are so friendly, knowledgeable and efficient. I walked in to get some bloodwork done, in total, it took less than 10 minutes to check in, get the bloodwork done, WITHOUT AN APPOINTMENT! I was so amazed, I couldn't believe it. Another perk of this location is that when you're done, you can come downstairs to a whole-foods and one of my favorite shopping centers. It cannot get any better.

It then infiltrated during the procedure and was still left in my arm. This is called NEGLIGENCE. Note that I am a perfectly healthy person who has no risk factors for complications, so this could happen to you as well. Don't be fooled by how nice the nurses are or how well landscaped or pretty the facility is. Dr. Guy, the anesthesiologist, and the staff couldn't be bothered to spend five minutes to remove my painful IV even though that is standard of care. I spoke up about it several times. They still got paid, so who cares, right? My UCSD PCP, Dr. MacFarlane, essentially told me I was a nut job who made up my symptoms ("overly sensitive due to medical trauma") when I went to him in tears two weeks later still in intense pain and with symptoms of nerve compression. I then dropped UCSD Health as my provider due to his disgusting, negligent evaluation of my injury as well as Dr. Copur's failure to follow up or provide any post-op instructions for IV infiltration. I do have medical PTSD from a previous medical error that occurred with my anesthesia when I had surgery for cancer years ago in my 20s. Any procedure with anesthesia is VERY hard for me to do. I had this talk with Drs. Copur and Guy, as well as all nurses who saw me in pre-op. They violated my body and my trust anyway through their sloppy "care," as did Dr. MacFarlane when he weaponized my trauma against me. Which makes it all so much worse. I had to establish care with Scripps to get a proper evaluation. I have now been diagnosed, and have an EMG pending that will evaluate nerve damage. I start physical therapy this week. I hope it helps so my arm will stop hurting and I can regain all my physical strength that's been lost. There is no accountability, ever, for bad medical professionals unless you're dead or lose a limb, so getting my arm rehabbed is my goal.

I recently had a prostate biopsy at KOP Urology after elevated PSA levels. My prostate MRI was…read morenegative, but NP Neriamiah Castano recommended moving forward with a urine biomarker test, which showed about a 25% risk of prostate cancer. Based on that result, I was scheduled for a biopsy with Dr. Almirali Salmasi, with Thomas (LPN) assisting. To be honest, I was pretty nervous going in. I've heard plenty of nightmare stories from friends about prostate biopsies. However, Thomas did an excellent job explaining everything beforehand and helping put me at ease. Dr. Salmasi also walked me through the procedure again and reassured me that it would be straightforward. The procedure itself was much easier than I expected. Sure, at moments it felt like I was in prison with Shaquille O'Neal as my roommate, but overall it really wasn't a big deal. Both Thomas and Dr. Salmasi picked up on my sense of humor and gave it right back, which helped a lot in keeping things relaxed. Having spent over 30 years in healthcare myself--as a medic, flight RN, ICU RN, and now working in Rapid Response--I really appreciate great bedside manner when I see it. Thomas in particular has an outstanding bedside demeanor, and I even picked up a few pointers watching how he interacted with patients. I truly appreciate the knowledge, professionalism, and humor both of these gentlemen brought to the experience. Now I'm just waiting on the results, but I wanted to say thank you for making what could have been a very stressful experience much easier. Highly recommend the team at KOP Urology.

The staff member assisting me, Daisy, was not very helpful when there were questions about my insurance coverage. After going back and forth about billing, I called my insurance company while at the desk and confirmed that I have double coverage. Even after hearing this, Daisy said she didn't know what else to do and then walked away without explaining next steps. Another staff member stepped in but said she didn't normally run that area and didn't know how to help either. I ended up waiting in the lobby for about 30 minutes without any updates. When I asked again if there was anything that could be done, the response I received was dismissive. The lack of communication and assistance made the experience very frustrating. I will likely avoid this location in the future if possible, as the insurance process felt disorganized and the customer service was disappointing.
