I cannot say enough great things about Dr. Gregory Park and my experience with him. He performed my…read morebreast explant surgery without capsulectomy, and the entire process exceeded my expectations. I had no drains and virtually no pain. Honestly, the hardest part of recovery was reminding myself that I had just had surgery because I felt so good afterward, I had to consciously slow myself down and take it easy. That alone speaks volumes about Dr. Park's skill and technique. I am now two weeks post-op and I am beyond happy with my results. My breasts look almost better than what I started with. Even with the steri-strips still on, my incision is clearly healing beautifully. I've had no swelling, no bruising, and my recovery has been incredibly smooth. Dr. Park is truly gifted, and I felt confident and well cared for every step of the way. If you're considering explant surgery and want a surgeon who prioritizes precision, comfort, and outstanding results, I highly recommend Dr. Gregory Park.

So caring and exactly what I wanted for results. Couldn't be happier. Nurses are very niceread more

He frequently asked us if we have any questions and when we did, he answered them and then asked again if we had any other questions. I would give the Dr. 10 stars if I could. We are so thankful to have met him and had him perform the surgery. I would highly recommend this business. Office staff are professional and friendly also.

The hospital has very caring nurses who always explained to me exactly what they were giving me in the way of medication while I was at the hospital.

He reassured me that he could accomplish what was needed without the use of whole blood products and he did just so! I healed much quicker than I expected, with minimal pain and he released me from his care within a month of a complicated, serious surgical procedure. I will be moving out of state soon yet if I ever need surgery again, I would return to San Diego North County just to have Dr. Grove help me again. Thanks so much, Dr. Grove! You are a keeper!

Dr. Grove is a wonderful doctor with a very pleasant bedside manner. I felt comfortable with his…read moreassessment and surgical plan for me. He made me feel at ease and I am fortunate that he was my surgeon. However, the rest of the staff at MISNC treated me unprofessionally and very poorly- the worst of which was Melanie, Dr. Grove's medical assistant. Even though my PCP put the referral in as urgent, it still took almost a month just for a consultation because, and I quote, "How do we know you have a hernia? If you're in pain you should just go to the ER and you won't even have to come here." Back and forth with my PCP about the surgeon "not having my note" and no diagnostic ultrasound was ordered. My PCP said they would order it. The surgeons medical assistant said he won't see me until I have one. So they were just going to make me wait one-two-three- four weeks for just a consultation. They wouldn't even let me make an appointment with the doctor just to talk to him!!!! PCP calls me back and orders the ultrasound. Then and only then did they finally make me an appointment. Three weeks of being told "they don't have the notes" and "doctor hasn't read my notes" to "how are we supposed to know you have a hernia? Just go to the ER." Got scheduled for surgery a month after consultation- mind you they are supposed to call within 72 hours for urgent or 7-14 business days for routine. THREE WEEKS LATER, I finally call their scheduler and ask what's going on- get a bunch of excuses about they're busy and booked up until the end of January. My referral was initially entered to consult with surgeon in the middle of October. Surgery referral was approved 11/20. She finally calls me back and apologized and offers me Dec. 11th. I had my surgery yesterday and everything went well, Dr. Grove was fantastic and did a great job. Fast forward to today and the wound is bleeding some and I'm having massive pain upon ambulation. Post op nurse at the hospital advised me to stop taking the ibuprofen and call surgeon ASAP. I called and left message. An hour later the MA calls me back and once again- her only words of advice were "Since you're in pain with bleeding you should just go to the ER." Twice now she's pawned me off saying not their problem- I should just go to ER. No different meds or anti-inflammatories. No office visit to check sutures. Just go to the ER. I tell you, I've never been treated so poorly as a patient in all of my 36 years. I've had children and this was my fourth overall surgery. Dr. Grove, your office staff does not do you justice. I have no desire to go back for my two week post op visit. I have no faith whatsoever in the staff at MISNC. If I wasn't under an HMO, in pain, and just wanting to get this over with, I would have definitely gone somewhere else. They obviously "were busy" and made me feel discarded and like a nuisance. ***Fast forward to July 2020. Horrific episode of nausea and vomiting. See PCP via telehealth after finding a protrusion at surgery site from Dr. Grove 12/2019. She recommended a new surgeon when informed about poor experience here. Saw a new surgeon less than one week later who is going to fix the now incarcerated recurrent ventral hernia, wish I was not in this position. Never once did I have to play phone tag with new office. Surgery scheduled next Monday to finally fix what should have been done with Dr. Grove. Sad about my overall experience here and wish it didn't have to warrant a second surgery to fix what he quoted were "indestructible sutures."

My mom felt like she wanted to faint, had shortness of breath, and her face was numb- 5 min. after leaving her appt. While still at the parking lot I asked for help and the MA and the DR. did not take the time to access her/take vital signs. The doctor seemed upset that he was pulled from clinic and stated everything that she was feeling was normal (which it was not-Per ER MD). My mom was lethargic and unresponsive for about 1 min and started to vomit. (She was presenting ALL of the signs for a stroke) I told him that I didn't think it was normal and his response was "what do you want me to do? call the ambulance or do you want to drive her to the ER? it's around the corner." I stated call the ambulance she is not ok. but as I noticed the MA nor the doctor were taking this incident serious and had no empathy I decided that my mom needed to be taken to the ER-so I asked my dad to drive her since we had arrived in 2 separate cars, and I would meet them there after informing the front desk we would drive her ourselves. Not once were her vitals taken at the time of visit nor at the parking lot while she complained of shortness of breath. They made us feel like they did not care for what was happening with my mom. The only thing the MA did was provide me with a water bottle and an ice pack because I mentioned my mom felt like she was going to faint. The MD did not come outside until the 3rd time the MA grabbed him. I had to run to the front desk to inform them not to call the ambulance because we were taking her to the ER. The front desk seemed more concerned than Dr. Amory's MA and the doctor. While we were also in the room waiting for my mom to be seen before all this happened you could hear the doctor jumping from one room to another. Going back and forth seeing other patients. When he administered my moms injection he seemed like he was in a hurry-to were I even mentioned to him " wow that was super quick you are a pro". his response was " I've been doing this for a long time ". He put my moms life at risk. She was admitted to the ER because he did not administered the injection correctly. The ER could not get her BP to go up, it was very low. She developed a fever, severe stomach pain, diarrhea, and vomiting. Her white blood count was very high and her troponin levels were high as well. She also developed an infection due to the injection. She fainted again in the ER and was lethargic and weak. The admitting doctor stated this was all due to the cortisone injection that was not administered correctly. It was injected into her blood stream. If I would have listened to the doctor saying " it was normal" and I would have taken my mom home. My mom wouldn't be here with us now. He put my moms life at risk and did not care. All of this is very upsetting because this was negligence at all levels and malpractice. Dr. Amory's actions show how inhumane he can be and how he does not care for his patients. He is very unprofessional and has no empathy. As a medical professional you want to make sure you treat your patient and you want to be sure to access your patients when they are not feeling well, not assume "it's normal" when clearly things are not normal. HE took my moms medical emergency very irresponsibly and did nothing to make sure my mom was ok. on the contrary he was bothered that he was called outside to "help" (which he did not do). He had an attitude and made me feel like he did not care. To end my note- I requested my moms medical records and most of the things he wrote on my moms medical record are not true. His statement is false when he states he discussed " Different options were discussed with the patient" no options were discussed. He also states in his note "staff and myself went out to the car to assess the patient" "she was breathing normally...We called 911 to have an ambulance brought. We did give vital signs to 911 operator. We noticed that the patient, however, was leaving. The patient and her family drove off in a car" This is all false. He never assessed my mom and vital signs were never taken during or after presenting complications- what vital signs were given? if no vitals were taken by him nor MA at all?? Lastly we left in 2 separate cars because my dad drove my mom there and I met my mom there to translate. How did we leave in one car? The front desk was notified by me that we were leaving because they took forever to call an ambulance for my mom. As a doctor you assess your patient! Why do you have to ask your patient or her family if we want him to call an ambulance knowing well enough your patient was unresponsive with stroke symptoms? As a Doctor-all of this is wrong at all levels and is unacceptable. I will not be taking my mom to this location ever again. He should not be a doctor if he is not following his OATH as a Doct

I decided to take this Estrogen Medication called Prempro for (one year and a half) then I stopped taking this Medication because this Prempro caused me to contract a severe DVT means a (Deep Venous Thrombosis) in my Left Leg. I contacted Dr. Richard Saxon who is a Certified Radiologist who specializes in the Stenting process of inserting Stents in both my Right and Left Groin Area inside my body.

Also Dr. Justin Gooding performed a similar procedure on the same left leg and this procedure was very successful with excellent results.

During my visit, I experienced excessive wait times, poor communication, lack of follow-up, staff behavior. What was most concerning was lack of communication. I understand that hospitals can be busy and that healthcare professionals work under significant pressure. However, patients and families deserve clear communication, respect, and timely care. In my case, I had to wait 3 days for an MRI after that their wasn't a care plan to follow up. I had to advocate for myself for proper treatment. I am sharing this feedback not simply to complain, but in the hope that management will review these concerns and take steps to improve the patient experience. I would appreciate having someone from leadership contact me to discuss this matter further. Thank you for your attention.
