No one looks forward to a hospital visit, but if you have to go Scripps Medical Center at Jefferson…read moreis one of the best facilities in North County. There's plenty of parking and an additional parking structure. They also have a very nice Urgent Care unit with a very nice triage team.

I have been with Scripps for a very long time…read more I have a lot of health issues and I normally go in person to make appts. My husband told me I got a letter in the mail stating that I was writing messages in my portal to my Drs. I thought the portal was used as a extra tool for Scripps when you do not go to appointments for your health and concerns. They threatened me that they would kick me out of Jefferson if i wrote anymore messages. Don't I have any patient's right for my healthcare to use the portal for questions and concerns when appointments are over two to three months in the future? I felt threatened and abandoned especially that I was recently discharged from the ER and needed some answers from lab work which I feel was not given by the ER Dr. On top of that I got a letter in my portal about missing and no show appts which I go all the time because I have other people drive me there so why is there such a mess when I feel I am threatened? Does anyone else have this experience with Scripps at this time with communication on portal, mail and no one replying to their messages on portal? Has anyne else been threatened to be kicked out even if they go to all drs appts on time and ask qs about their health???? Isn't that what Drs and nps are there for to help you and take care of your concerns in a professional manner???!

I was living with severe scoliosis and it was causing nerve pain that prevented me from doing…read morenormal activities or the strenuous types of exercise I liked to do. Dr. Moazzas literally rebuilt my spine! I have what I call an erector set keeping my spine straight. I am also 2 inches taller. I won't kid you, this was a serious surgery. In fact, there were three in a row. I trusted Dr. Moazzaz based on how professional he and his staff are and the fact that the doctor is a very exacting in all he does and expects his staff, the hospital staff, the home health care staff and the physical therapy staff to follow his instructions for getting the best post operative results. Dr. Moazzaz has a calming and friendly presence while keeping a very professional demeanor regarding the patient's issues. He and his staff carefully explained what I was getting into. I won't kid you, this surgery is very big. the first two weeks post surgery were the hardest, but the doctor and staff made sure I had the appropriate medication to help me make it. I am eight weeks out from that surgery. I have been walking four miles a day since week four, and have just started physical therapy. The pain I felt before surgery is gone. All my clothes fit me and I'm extremely happy with the results. A full recovery will take time, but I'm a very determined person who stays active. The most important advice I can give is to keep moving after the surgery. If you are sedentary, it's not the doctor's fault that you aren't getting better.

I did not have a good experience with Dr. Moazzez. I went to him because of pain between my…read moreshoulder blades, but he diagnosed it as a cervical disc issue, even though my neck wasn't hurting. He performed neck surgery on me, but after the operation, not only did the pain not improve, it got worse, and I developed new symptoms such as tingling in my tongue and hands. When I went back to him, he said the real problem was with a vertebra between my shoulder blades, which was clearly visible on both my X-ray and MRI from the very beginning -- and he had seen those images. Because of his misdiagnosis, I spent around $7,000 out of pocket (in addition to insurance) and was out of work for three months. At my last visit, he admitted the issue was with the vertebra between my shoulder blades but told me it's better not to have another surgery. Now, on top of my original pain, I also have neck pain and tingling in my hands and tongue. Overall, this was a very disappointing experience.

He is professionally way above the norm, worthy of high praise both as a skilled and knowledgeable doctor and as a kind and caring person. Having said that, the only thing I think I could add to the reviews is that I have never had to wait to see him. He does not seem to over schedule as many doctors do. I recommend him highly. He has a website with a video that is worth checking out. It gives you a feel for his approach to his profession. https://www.youtube.com/watch?reload=9&v=BFKBq6bgcrg

Dr. Whitney is AWESOME! He's so incredibly attentive to everything I needed. Seriously, It's been…read morea few years since I've been to the doctor, and I definitely was a little nervous going in. I probably am THAT patient that some doctors get irritated with, because I went in with a list of items that we needed to chat about or get referrals for. And as we talked, he made a mental note of each one. He fully addressed each and every thing I wanted to discuss and then moved onto the next. For me, this appointment crossed a TON off my to-do list as it was so productive. I think we can all agree that we've walked out of a doctor's office and said "oh shoot, he didn't tell me about ____". With Dr. Whitney, you'll never have to worry about that. After the fact, Dr. Whitney personally followed up with me, and advised me he'd submitted my referrals and I should be hearing back soon. I've never had such personable attention from any Doctor's office let alone one Doctor specifically!

I rarely write negative reviews, but after repeated experiences with Dr. John Clancy, I feel…read moreobligated to share what happened, particularly because elderly patients and patients who are not fluent in English deserve to be treated with dignity and respect. My 74-year-old mother recently moved from Canada to San Diego, and we have been rebuilding her medical care here from scratch. English is not her first language, and I routinely accompany her to appointments to make sure she understands her medical care and can communicate her concerns properly. We have seen Dr. Clancy multiple times, so this review is not based on one unpleasant encounter. Unfortunately, we have repeatedly experienced the same dismissive and unwelcoming behavior. Our appointments have felt extremely rushed, often lasting only approximately 5-10 minutes. When we ask questions, we have experienced sighing, visible frustration, eye-rolling, and responses that made both my mother and me feel as though we were an inconvenience rather than patients seeking medical care. Today's appointment crossed a line for me. My mother was trying her best to explain an issue concerning her daily blood-pressure medication. During the conversation, Dr. Clancy rolled his eyes, removed his glasses, looked directly at me and, referring to my mother's English, said words to the effect of: "When she speaks English, it makes me frustrated and I don't understand." I found this extraordinarily disrespectful and humiliating. A 74-year-old woman struggling to communicate in her second language should never be made to feel embarrassed for trying to explain a medical concern to her physician. There are professional and compassionate ways to handle a language barrier. Showing visible irritation toward an elderly patient is not one of them. What makes this more concerning is that today's experience was not isolated. We have left previous appointments feeling rushed, uncomfortable and unwelcome as well. Today simply reached the point where I could no longer remain silent. We will be finding my mother another primary-care physician. I also intend to formally report our experience through the appropriate channels because I believe elderly patients, immigrants, and people with limited English proficiency should be able to seek medical care without being made to feel ashamed or burdensome. I strongly encourage families, especially those caring for an elderly parent who may need additional patience or help communicating to consider our experience when deciding whether this practice is the right fit for them. Respect and compassion should be the absolute minimum a patient receives in a doctor's office.

I'm writing this review because I really hope management will address the communication and phone…read moresystem at this office. This is now the second time I have tried calling the office and have been unable to get anyone to answer the phone. I left a voicemail, but during my previous experience, I did not receive a return call. I understand that medical offices can get very busy and staff may not always be able to answer every call immediately. However, patients should at least be able to expect that their voicemail will be returned within a reasonable amount of time, especially when they are trying to schedule an appointment or communicate with the office. I previously brought this concern to the attention of the receptionist/medical assistant, and they seemed surprised when I explained that I had difficulty reaching anyone by phone. Unfortunately, I am experiencing the same issue again. This is very inconvenient and frustrating, and I believe it deserves attention from management. A cardiology practice handles patients who may have important and sometimes time-sensitive concerns. Having a reliable way to reach the office is an important part of patient care. I hope management reviews how incoming calls and voicemails are being handled and makes improvements. I appreciate the medical care provided by the practice, but communication and accessibility also matter, and this has now become a recurring issue.

I don't think I've ever physically gone into their office, or emailed with their office, and come out of the experience with an answer or a solution. I've dealt with MANY frustrating messages back and forth with his staff (he rarely messages patients) who hardly even perform their jobs at a bare minimum- they'll respond to messages within 48 hours, but they will not help you in any way unless you make an appointment, which brings in money for their office. One example is that I had a battery of labs completed to address abdominal discomfort I was having- and Dr. Italiano emailed me saying everything looked great, regardless of multiple readings being out of the "normal" range. I specifically pointed this out to him, and his staff responded saying if I wanted to address a new concern I'd have to schedule an appointment. A couple days ago I was asking them for help viewing a form they had sent me through their app, they responded that I had to view it in "the portal", and when I asked them what/where this "portal" was (in the app or somewhere else), they messaged me back saying they could no longer assist me and if I wanted anything I had to call their records department (who have also proven to be completely incompetent in the past). This office drops the ball in every way, and they only care about making money off office visits. They do not care about you or your health, and only want to line their pockets with the money your insurance provider pays out for endless office visits. I will absolutely be changing my PCM, because I'm so tired of dealing with this staff.
