I'm a patient of Dr. Elena Dembo-Smeatton since I moved to San Diego…read more I'm very pleased with medical service, with how any questions what I had was answered by office staff, or how timely message was reached Dr Elena Dembo and was return via phone or in person Aryssa ( front office) was very attentive and always will return a phone call and will make special effort to give time of appointments convenient for patient. Vaccination, blood test was always given on time and done on very high professional level My meds was always refilled on time. I changed my insurance , but not my primary provider. You don't change a very good service, even if now it will take little longer to drive. Thank you Dr Elena Dembo-Smeaton and all staff for your wonderful service

I cannot believe the things that Dr. Dembo-Smeaton said to me at my appointment today. I have never…read moreheard so many dangerously outdated comments and recommendations. 1. Upon hearing I have two little kids, she said, "Oh, so who helps you with the children?" When I replied, "My husband - he's great and has a flexible job so he takes on a lot of the kid stuff." She replied (and this is pretty darn close to verbatim): "Oh yes, it used to be that women could stay home and take care of the children. But not anymore. That was better." [This was especially confusing to me since Dr. Dembo-Smeaton obviously works, so I'm not sure why her bias against working mothers?!?!) 2. I asked for a referral to pelvic floor therapy since after my second delivery I had had the common issues with leaking while sneezing/laughing. She said I shouldn't be running at all and I should stop lifting heavy weights (I do the Body Pump class at the Y - not exactly Olympic bodybuilding). I told her that these are things I love doing, and I want to get treatment so that I can go back to enjoying doing the things I love without worry about peeing my pants. She looked at me condescendingly and said, "Well the important thing is that you have two beautiful children." And I replied, "Of course I appreciate my kids, but I also want to not have pelvic floor issues, and I want to run and lift weights ..." and she just doubled down and said, "Well after children things change and the important thing is that you have your family." or something like that. I was completely aghast. Are women not allowed to have a life and hobbies and be active post-delivery?! I couldn't believe how she just blew off my desire to exercise with a simple command to stop running and just appreciate my kids. 3. I asked for an updated birth control prescription now that I had finished breastfeeding. She asked what forms I'd used in the past and I said the ring and the pill, then she immediately said, "OK I will get you Nuvaring." When I replied that I wanted the pill instead, she said, "But the Nuvaring is so much easier!" Not sure why she needed to argue with me over MY preferred method of bc. 4. We were discussing losing weight and she advised, "if you want to lose weight you really need to just focus on cardio." This is such outdated and WRONG advice - it's well established that weight training is healthy and good for weight loss and good for preserving bone density, among other benefits.

Where can I start. I have seen many, many doctors in the past from pediatricians to Primary care…read morephysicians. Never I mean never have I had a more compassionate, kind and brilliant physician. She is absolutely thorough and explains everything to you and answers all questions. I am so impressed and so grateful I found Dr Rhodes she is five and I will never go any place else. If you are looking for a doctor look no further you found the best one!!!!!!!! Office MAs very sweet.

You will not find a better doctor than Dr. Rhodes. Period. She has been my primary care doctor for…read moreyears. I have had many complex problems lately, and she is more informed than many of the specialists she has referred me to. She truly cares and listens. She also has a wonderful personality and a great sense of humor. She is always so thorough with my health care, She always informs me about medications, side effects, etc., and she knows the PDR like the back of her hand. She is also extremely knowledgeable about holistic care. If you need a test, she will order the test, unlike other doctors I have seen. When I discuss abnormal results with her, she always takes the time to educate me about the results, and she formulates a plan with me for moving forward. I had to go the hospital for an endocrine problem. She called me and the physicians on my care team while I was there. She truly cares about her patients. I cannot imagine going to another doctor. I feel so blessed that I found her in the vast sea of doctors out there. She checks every box in what I consider to be a good doctor. I see people complain about waiting a few minutes for their appointments in these reviews. If you have to wait a few minutes, that is because she is taking the time she needs to give the patient before you wonderful care. Would you rather go to an always punctual doctor who gives you inferior care? I hope she never retires. Thank you, Dr. Rhodes!
