Great Doctor! Dr…read more Catherine Lawson is a great doctor. After I took some time to learn about her personality I really like her, she is a sweetheart, I strongly recommend her.

My very first appointment she was dismissive of my concerns, outright refused to refer me to…read moretesting because she had never heard of the medical condition I was coming in with (paradoxical adipose hyperplasia-look it up!). She looked at me skeptically and said she'd never heard of it before and it was "probably a legal term" so I should speak with a lawyer. Never before have I felt embarrassed FOR a provider... uh, I dunno, Cathy. Google it? Lol Rude, judgmental, unprofessional. She left notes on my patient summary that had nothing to do with my actual visit because at some point I was done being treated like a crazy person and I walked out of her office. So you can add petty to the list of qualities. She said she was going to add a prescription for my acid reflux, but when I read the patient summary, she said that she had referred me to a gastroenterologist so I couldn't get the prescription we talked about. Overall jarring and bizarre experience. I will say, every patient in her waiting room was well over 80 years old, so if you are that age (you probably aren't using yelp to find a doctor, but) she will likely be a good fit for you. However, if you are not in that demographic, my advice would be to steer clear. The front staff and nurses were sweet and wonderful to interact with. This woman does not deserve the angels that work under her. I feel sorry for them, and every patient who has had a similar experience going to see her. Finding a new PCP is hard enough without bozos like this lady trying to make you feel like you're crazy because you don't fit neatly inside of the narrow education she received way back in the 70s or 80s. You can tell she does not keep her education current. She finished medical school and thought she was done learning. BEWARE.

I was at this location yesterday to screen for a clinical study. The staff was really incompetent…read moreand untrained. The nurse practitioner has an extremely aggressive bedside manner, telling what symptoms she thought I should be experiencing, even though I wasn't. Dr. Lizotte freaked my husband out telling him I was going to have a stroke or cardiac episode. He insisted I should go to the ER because something was wrong. He insisted the ER nurse would look at my blood pressure and rush me back. Not the case at all, I ended up spending 8 hours sitting in an ER and left with no diagnosis, normal labs and EKG. The folks in the office there don't even know how to take a manual blood pressure, they solely rely on machines to do their job! Do better folks! Don't go here for healthcare or to participate in a study.

This is a review for Kelly Halloran who is part of the Aspire VIP Skin Care…read more Kelly is a master a cosmetic dermatology. I'm reviewer her as a patient and also because of my girlfriend Wendy also recently went through a PSR Portrait with Kelly. Wendy has been though a multitude of plastic surgeries and skin procedures. The PSR Portrait is the one that really makes a difference for her regarding taking years off her looks. Wendy is very happy with her procedure. I'll upload photos of Wendy in a few days of her before/after. One of the things that makes Kelly really stand out from others giving a PSR Portrait is her attention to detail and her aftercare. She requires patients to come in everyday afterwards for a few days. This isn't just for pictures though. It's to make sure everything is going well. She cleans her patients on each visit and gives them a LED Lightwaves Treatment as well as an OXY MIST treatment. These treatments take about 3-4 days off the recovery time that normally occurs with a PSR Portrait. I received a Lightwaves LED treatment from Kelly for 7 days. I was in an unusual situation as I was in my 6 month time frame recovering from my necklift /lipo. I can say the Lightwave treatment makes a difference as after 2-3 days the skin on my neck was much tighter. It was actually tight to swallow for an hour or 2 later on after each treatment. I strongly recommend Dr Julie Aspiras and Kelly Halloran

My husband became his patient as well and we are so glad we found a doctor that knows what is best for us. The Garcia's

My husband has been a patient here for a few years. The doc and NP are ok but the staff suck. Our…read moreappt was at 10 and it's now 10:50. One guy was waiting when we got here. Another two women came in and one was called in first, then the guy and then a lady that walked in five minutes ago gets called in. WTH? And this is only one experience. If you complain the female staff gets nasty and vindictive. The doc does nothing. I really think this totally is inappropriate. So we asked and were told there are two docs here but not specifically if those people that came in are attached to which doc. The girl who handled us puts all calls on hold while she types away and sings to herself and either then answers the call on hold or they hang up. Who knows. If my 100% disabled vet spouse wasn't on so many meds AND on dialysis, I would find another doc. I hate how the medical industry gets people over a barrel like this!!

Just saw Dr Wine for the first time, and I'm very encouraged so far! As someone struggling with a…read morepainful chronic illness for the last 25 years (my entire adult life), doctors can definitely go either way, and it gets so exhausting to have to explain things, and feel like I have to try and convince yet another person that I really am suffering as much as I claim. He made it easy, asked the right questions, and had the right tests ordered and referrals made, and we made a sort of long term plan. I'm hopeful that maybe he can actually help me to figure out some different health issues, and work with my pain management doctor to create a care plan that will hopefully give me a little bit better quality of life, because it's been really rough for a long time... I just kind of started to give up on doctors and medicine. It's just been so much for so long.. and so much gaslighting from practitioners of all kinds, I've been beyond terrified to find a new PCP and try again. I'm thankful that it looks like I've found a doctor who actually cares and wants to help.

I saw others who arrived late, turned away. No wait time for the appt. though. He took me in his office and listened carefully to me. Then ordered a ton of bloodwork and x-rays, just as Judy reviewed in a different review. No wait time for my second appt. Very thorough. He did suggest more medications for me but also respected that I am trying to reduce the amount of medications I take. He felt my knee issues are not as bad as others have told me, but agreed to do the injections I was seeking anyway.

Personnel make every effort to be both punctual and pleasant. Recently I had a CT scan.

Just wanted to take a moment to commend a very effective and professional group of employees.

Orthopedics appointment here further away from home when I could not get one in Encinitas…read more Easy lot parking in the PM. Unusual layout of building was more than offset when several associates asked me how they could help, always pointing me in the right directions. On their own initiative. Dr. Braunstein gave steroid injection into painful toe joint, the pain of which has vanished 24 hours later. Great overview of what was going on and related issues. I saw none of the attitudes, etc. described in older reviews about the place generally and Orthopedics specifically. I experienced auto problems (see below) and was not scolded for being late or upsetting scheduling. Which the Torry Pines facility sometimes did. The problem is its entrance. A single lane in each direction. Not prominently enough identified by signage on the main roadways. Needs many more "H" blue signs with arrows strategically placed a distance away. And it feeds directly off a shopping center entrance which I had never seen before for a hospital. Needs a traffic light, if the shopping center entry further down the feeding road has a traffic light, then more so a hospital should. (Single entry/exit; what if there were a fire?) Entry via the parking structure was forbidden by staff only signage. If you have not been there before, even if you had been a long while ago as I once was, you are going to likely miss one or more turns. Spent 20 minutes being diverted into various roads including those that would all but force cars onto the freeway, trying to turn around to get to the single-entrance place. SUMMARY: Nice place, quality assistance and care, when you make it. Minus one star for learning curve for driving in!
