Mom discharged? No, she left. I came in to your office, requested her medical records (multiple times which came from me and mom's new physician's office because no one from your office would follow through). What are you setting straight? There is nothing to set straight. It is what it is. The ball got dropped on my mother too many times at your office with no one ever being held accountable and there was always an excuse why something did not get done. This review is not on Scripps Mercy as a whole, as mom was well taken care of from her previous physician with Scripps for over a decade. After he retired, mom was automatically sent to you. The same issues mom and I experienced are no different then your other reviews on Google. There is no exaggeration here. read more

If you dont mind waiting for over an hour for an appointment, or that Dr. Wagner is not interested and inconvenienced to haev you there...then this place is for you. Lab results? Ha! Called twice, no reply. In my followup I was told that if I didnt receive a call back that it was because they "didnt find anything". Oh and the attention to detail is non-existent. Steer clear of this one. read more

Dr. Wagner is the best! He always has the answer and takes better care and interest in my health than any other doctor I've ever had!

Dr. Wagner is terrific, he obviously has great experience and a wonderful, caring practical attitude. I also like that he has a wonderful sense of humor which is important when you're hurting or just getting a physical. I also find very digital saavy which is critical these days. Great staff too! read more

This is the worst doctor's experience I have ever had. I had to wait almost an hour to see him for initial appt. and then he didn't even give me a proper physical- he sat in his chair the whole time. Next, this doctor insisted I come back for refills to see him- never experienced that before. He would not return my calls but had assistants do this and he didn't even bother to ask what the appointment was for. WORST EXPERIENCE EVER! read more

I went to dr. Wagner' office with multiple issues and was treated with the best care. Two years later I am cured of all my problems. The doctor and his staff saved my life. Thanks for being there when I needed it the most! read more

I really appreciated the nurse practitioner who listened to my situation and gave me great information. Sadly, the office is horrendous. Don't go here unless you want to be hit with bills without explanation, even when you have insurance. It's as frustrating as trying to call a cell phone company. They didn't return my voicemail for 4 days. read more

"I was beyond impressed with my experience at this doctor's office. I wish all the doctors and clinics work the way these guys do. Always responsive and willing to help. Dr.Wagner is a higher standard of health care, and I hope his model is the future of the medical industry!" read more

I a 69 year old male in good health and have been a patient of Dr Wagner for many years. He listens to my concerns and understands and makes recommendations. After his persistent urging, I began to take medications for my high blood pressure and now feel better now than when I was in my 40's. His office is friendly and the check in procedure is rather easy. My only reason for not giving him 5 stars is that the patient portal for online inquiries is a little cumbersome. read more

There is a reason his rating is so low. Condescending and absolutely no bedside manor. He's a doctor that believes only his opinion counts and has no time to hear your concerns. Apparently, he's got more important things to do than listen to his patients concerns. Lousy, horrid and I wouldn't send my dead dog to him. read more

Dr. Wagner is the one my insurance assigned me to, I never met him. I saw one of his nurse practitioners instead. Maya was a very nice concerned women who helped alot. Due to a misunderstanding having to do with a prescription they said I could fill and the pharmacy said I could;nt I made 2 trips back and forth and lost my temper when the doc's office would not tell me why. It was the insurance I later found out. Next time I was there I admitted I was wrong and all seemed well. After my appointment I was given a letter saying he would, under no circumstances ever see me again. I was supposed to have 30 days notice, but since I was moving and the letter never got to me, it was effective the next day. They were sent a letter of apology but he wanted no part of it and I was given the letter anyway. Now he refuses to fill the medications I desperately need and I cant find a new doctor with my insurance that is anywhere near me, plus if I got one the breast cancer surgery I just had would not have been done because his referals would no longer be good. Im bi-polar with a panic disorder. You would think he might have taken that into consideration, but he couldnt care less. He didnt care about me at all. In my opinion he is heartless and doesnt care about the aftermath of his decision on a patient he never met and most likely never even checked my chart when he did what he did read more

There's a really good reason Dr. Wagner and San Diego Medical Group have bad reviews: it's because they really are that bad. Dr. Wagner is a condescending quack with zero bedside manner. He acts as if you're wasting his time. I hate leaving bad reviews but I feel like every potential patient needs to know this stuff. I went to Dr. Wagner because I've been having a serious issue regarding my lower back, and he didn't even examine me. He sat at his computer for the entire visit. Never touched me except to shake my hand when he came in the room. When I asked him if I should be concerned about my issue he said yes, absolutely. Then he said if I have any more problems with it I should go to the ER. That's what I'm here for, you sorry excuse for a human being. This guy is as bad as a doctor can get, and I really mean that. He should be sanctioned. Not only are the doctors at San Diego Medical Group dismal, but if you want an appointment at this place you have to wait weeks because apparently they're so busy. I honestly can't see why. read more

So I usually have health insurance but I recently changed jobs and I didn't get insurance for about a year. When I did I chose Dr. Paul Wagner as my PCP. I called to set up my appointment and got an answering service telling me to leave all my info and the staff will call me back to set up my first visit. (only down fall, don't feel that comfortable call g a new company and giving them all my info) but I did. When I came in for my appoint the staff working the front desk where very polite and sweet. As I was filling out my new patient paper work other patient were coming and leave with sincere, warm goodbyes and hellos, this made me feel comfortable. After I filled out my papers I was called back within 5 minutes. I got check in by the MA who was quiet but super sweet. Waited about 2-3 minutes and Dr. Wanger came in and introduced himself. Seems nice and friendly. We went over my past medical issues that ha seen getting worse. He asked a few question about my history and got my set up with a few meds. So far they are working the way they are suppose to (unlike other Dr's who sometime do trial and errors on medication). I really enjoyed my visit and his well kept clean office and would highly recommend him to others as so far I trust him with my medical issues. read more

"besides doing good in respiratory affections, bicarbonate of soda is of inestimable value in the treatment of alimentary intoxication, pyelitis (inflammation of the pelvis of the kidney), hyper-acidity of urine, uric acid disturbances, rheumatism and burns. an occasional three-day course of bicarbonate of soda increases the alkalinity of the blood, assists elimination and increases the resisting power of the body to all infectious diseases" he told me to quit drinking it... i just picked up urine ph test strips at health food store... i am trying to maintain alkaline body fluids... wagoner said he could only test ph in blood tests...which he wouldn't.. but on the way home i stopped and bought ph strips for urine to check my acidity levels.. so he was lying on that point... ...he said my problems stemmed from obesity and smoking ...yet he failed to address menopause and find out why i have such bad edema in my legs... the muscle cramps, severe pain when using my muscles, faintness, shortness of breath, but he will give me diuretic pills that elevate uric acid...and deplete my potassium...oops kidney failure time again!!! literallyhe refused to check the functioning of my kidneys...which having kidney failure & hospitalized 2x in 2013...the doctors told my kidneys were bad...he said i have gout...but wouldn't explain just what it is... i had to go home and google it... no...after the check up...i immediately went to the front desk and asked to be seen by another doctor in the future!!! so my ph is acidic with excess uric acid...my kidneys may not be metabolizing the uric acid...but he won't give me a 24 hour urine collection to determine if it is high uric acid intake or a problem eliminating the acid... which one is diet and the other is kidney problems...two differnt diagnosis he won't address my diagnosed copd...just shook his head... told me to quit taking vitamins and baking soda and go on a low calorie diet...i asked...about adrenal fatigue and he said my adrenal glands are fine...yet after menopause the adrenal gland is the gland that takes over for the lack of estrogen.. so it has to work more...and at age 52 after post menopause...my metabolism went whacko and i gained 60 pounds in 2 years...where for 52 years i had always ranged around 200 lb. i wanted to know why...what is causing this...how my hormones were ...and why my metabolism was non-existent...fatigue, no interests, no motivation...tired all day & all night...and muscle turned to fat...put on weight... can't take it off... but he doesn't want to check my hormones or any hormones or vitamin deficiency...or my fatty liver.....or my kidney.... oh...and he will give me pills that keep me in constant state of physical stress and going round in circles ...causing my symptoms as a side effect... no...after the check up...i immediately went to the front desk and asked to be seen by another doctor in the future!!! read more

Dr Wagner has been my doctor for over 15 years. He is persistent and extremely knowledgeable. He is courteous, caring, gentle, and compassionate. He explains the options of treatment and allows me to make the final decision. He is always willing to hear all my questions patiently. He is very busy but I never feel rushed. He is as good as it gets. I highly recommend Dr. Wagner. His staff is also very helpful and friendly. Prescriptions are called and filled in a timely manner. I've had no problem scheduling appointments even at short notice. Thank you Dr Wagner at San Diego Medical Group and all your staff for all the wonderful years of service. His staff is also very helpful and friendly. read more
