If you are reading this, you are probably in need of a medical professional. I mean, nobody reads these for fun right? Six months ago I was taken to the ER . At 11 pm nurses came into my room to tell me I was going downstairs for emergency surgery and they would contact my wife. When I woke up next morning I had a hole in me as big as a coffee cup saucer. I also had colostomy bag attached to my waist. The surgeon that did the surgery on me, from what I understand now, probably saved my life. When the surgeon came in the next morning, he told me how close I was. He also assured me the colostomy bag "WOULD BE" reversable after the gapping hole closed up. After the hole closed, my home care WONDERFUL nurse Diane, began reaching out to the doctor. The same doctor WHO: rescued me that night from sepsis. Attached the Colostomy bag. And then assured me "IF," a reversal could be done," HE" would be the guy to do it. CRICKETS. NOTHING. Dianes calls. My wife calls. MY CALLS. No call back. When we gave up on that doctor we went to a couple other docs who did exact same reversal. Things got real very quik. One doctor would not call us back and two other doctors selling gloom and doom that went along with the "DIFFICULTY'' of my procedure. My wife and I were afraid I'D have to live with this thing for the rest of OUR lives. Then we heard of Doc Schultzel. We heard about the robotic surgery he did. We had to try. When we met him, it was amazing. Finally !! someone was optimistic. He wouldn't make any guarantees but for our conversation it was clear this was gonna be our guy. The other doctors focused on how bad my situation was. DocSchultzel focused on the positive. We really believe the other Drs a little overwhelmed with what was left for them to workwith. Not Dr Shultzel. I probably don't need to say how amazing of a doctor he is., All you have to do is read his reviews ! What's just as important is his supporting cast starting with Emily! Emily, my wife and I will never be able to thank you enough.!! We love you, kiddo! These people are so on top of their game it is mind blowing! They are like a well oiled machine. The support was so appreciated. They just have it dialed in. There's not enough stars on the top of this review to give them. , Emily you guys will always remain in our heart. Doc Schultzel you gave me my life back and that is all I can say.

I went to my Dr here in the US and she prescribed me anti depressants! I lost hope at one point and thought I was going to have to live like that for the rest of my life. I found Dr Reyes on Yelp and even though she's a 2.5 hr drive from me I was so desperate I decided to make an appointment. It's been the best decision I have made all year. She prescribed me medication and I took it for a whole month. After the 1st day I already felt so much better. After a few days I felt normal again, a feeling I hadn't felt in almost 2 years. After 1 month I ran out of the meds but I don't even need them anymore. I haven't taken them for 2 weeks and my stomach has been fine. If you suffer like I was before you lose hope please go visit Dr Reyes. She's so amazing!

Dr. Worsey did not waste anytime and immediately got him into surgery, as his organs were starting to shut down. After multiple emergency surgeries and medications, Dr. Worsey saved his life. David was at Scripps La Jolla for over a month with a Wound Vac and an ileostomy which was reversed successfully by Dr. Worsey a few months later. After a month at Scripps, he was moved to another facility unrelated to Scripps, as his wounds were too complex for me or home health care to manage at home. Two years later, David had a stroke and was admitted to Scripps La Jolla once again. I informed Dr. Worsey that David was back in the hospital for an unrelated issue. Dr. Worsey made a point to check in and visit David every single day. This level of care and compassion was truly good medicine! In conclusion, based on our experiences, we whole heartedly believe that Dr. Worsey is an outstanding physician of unsurpassed integrity, talent, honesty and compassion. We are so grateful for Dr. Worsey and for his medical team at Scripps La Jolla.

I was very scared to do this as I've never had any major surgeries in my life. Dr. Beiermeister was incredibly thoughtful, highly skilled, answered all of my questions, and was so reassuring during this difficult period. You never want to hear you need colon surgery, but I'm so grateful he was my surgeon. He visited me twice a day in the hospital and I'm grateful to say I'm just about at the 4-week mark and doing great. Pain and discomfort were managed perfectly and when I left the hospital, I was able to just use over-the-counter Tylenol and ibuprofen. Everything healed perfectly and I was able to resume my regular diet after a few weeks. I have nothing but positive things to say about my experience here. His staff are skilled, professional, empathetic, and most of all, the kind of medical professionals you'd hope to have in your corner when facing multiple major procedures. If I could give him 10 stars I would!

After encounters with two different providers, I have cancelled all future visits for the sake of my health. ​ I was initially prescribed multiple regimens that only made my condition worse. When I was unable to see the doctor for two months, I saw a Nurse Practitioner who proceeded to prescribe medications I am explicitly allergic to. Even after I reiterated several times that I could not take them, she refused to provide alternatives. Ignoring a known allergy is dangerous and negligent. ​ At the end of my visit, I requested a standard 'After Visit' paper with written directions for my medical care. I was told 'that's not how they do things.' Refusing to provide a patient with written instructions for their health--especially while dealing with infections and medications--is completely unprofessional. ​ Furthermore, they do not validate parking. It is sad that nearby coffee shops and sushi restaurants offer validation, yet a medical facility receiving referrals refuses to cover the cost for its patients. ​I will not be returning. If you value clear communication, clinical accuracy, and basic patient safety, I strongly recommend going elsewhere.

I am honestly shocked by the negative reviews. Many people don't seem to realize that medicine,…read morelike many other careers, is objective and there is not one "right way" to do everything. It seems to me that Dr. Cohen takes the precautionary approach and nips things in the bud before they can get worse rather than the wait and see approach. Some of these reviewers take it as a personal attack when Dr. Cohen is just being proactive. That being said, I recently had a very pleasant visit to Dr. Cohen's office. He was able to complete the procedure I had requested in very little time with no discomfort at all. He also gladly answered all of my questions and was attentive and insightful towards my concerns. Yes, he uses terms of endearment like calling you "love" and the like so if that makes you uncomfortable, you're better off with someone else but it is your loss. I, however, love it as it makes me feel more like I'm his daughter and less like just another faceless patient. I also don't think people leaving these comments know what professionalism is, professionalism isn't having a dry, serious demeanor. Being professional means you do the job correctly and efficiently and with care. Dr. Cohen is professional but also provides his patients with a loving attitude. This is what makes for a great doctor.

I was still undressed from the waist down with the paper blanket over me. I thought it was very odd that he asked me to get off the table.
