WARNING - Do Not Use This Medical Group…read more I was seen on 4/14 for a serious kidney issue. Dr. ordered labs and CT Scan. I scheduled the CT scan with their preferred provider Imaging Health weeks in advance. It is 5/5 and the imaging health just notified me that the doctor's office just sent the clinicals today for the insurance clearance and will need to reschedule until 5/20. I just can't begin to express how dissatisfied I am with the lack of professionalism.

My father had an episode of Prostatitis which landed him in the ER two nights in a row and ultimately with a catheter for almost 3 weeks. At the time his doctor said the only option was TURP surgery. We came to United Urology to have a second opinion and a year later we are forever grateful we did. Dr. Walker is trained in the latest procedures to help men with prostate issues: rezum, urolift, etc. They were able to squeeze my dad in within the week for an inpatient procedure and were so kind to us throughout the whole process. A year later my dad is doing well and taking better care of his health, thanks to Dr. Walker and his team!

It ended up causing 3 UTI's with the last one requring hospitalzation. It was in a followup ultrasound that it was finally discoved. His office called without informing me of the situation. They charged me a second time for a stent he only partally removed the first time. There was absolutely no acknowledgement of the serious health issues that he caused, I assume out of fear of a malpractice lawsuit. Needless to say I have a new Urologist.

I had hernia surgery performed several years ago at Coastal Surgeons. I've experienced pain at the…read moresurgical site every time I work out, and it recently got so bad one night that I went to urgent care. I later found out that the surgeon who performed my original procedure had retired. I called on a Wednesday to request an urgent appointment and was told they needed to obtain records from the urgent care doctor first--why couldn't their own surgeons evaluate the problem? I was promised a call back, but received nothing. When I called them back on Friday, I learned the representative I had spoken with was out sick and hadn't informed anyone about my situation. No urgent case handoff to other staff had occurred. From there, I had to deal with a rude and clueless staff member whose main goal seemed to be doing as little work as possible and rushing me off the phone. I eventually got an appointment with a different surgeon outside their practice the following week. When I asked if he needed the urgent care report, he replied, "Why? I'll make my own determination." Between the lingering pain and the thoughtless, incompetent staff, I have taken my care elsewhere. Caveat emptor.

Dr. Grove is amazing! He has a great bedside manner; his surgical nurse, Lucy is very kind and…read morethoughtful and the entire staff at Palomar Hospital in Poway were great. 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. What was the most impressive was Dr. Grove's respect and consideration for my religious choices. 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."
