First of all, the total wait time was about 3 minutes in the waiting room and another 2 minutes in the exam room. This seems so much better than the usual30 -40minutes of wasted time. I show up on time and appreciate this. The first time I had an issue which required a blood test. In the day after the test Dr. Applestein immediately called me with the results. They immediately call in your Rx to the pharmacy of record. Very very organized and great communication skills

I could not more highly recommend Dr Valletta and his staff. I have never met a medical group that…read moreis more professional and caring. They work together like a well oiled machine, and ALWAYS knowledgeable and compassionate. He was recommended by my primary care doc for my second knee replacement. The surgery was not only extremely successful, but rehab was 3 times faster than after the replacement of my other knee. Follow up is amazing.

The building in which the SMI Surgery Center is located is low slung and unassuming. You could…read moreeasily pass it by, so keep a look out for it. I was to arrive at 6:00 am. However, my UBER car dropped me off at 5:45 am, so I had to wait in the cold outside for them to open the doors. There are no benches or places to rest. I would have expected for the staff to be there by 5:30 am, if they are asking patients to arrive at 6:00 am. I had Carpal Tunnel Surgery of my right hand, performed by Dr. Julie Gilbert, Everything went smoothly and the staff was kind. The rooms are all very modern and clean. The surgery only lasted for a duration of only about about thirty minutes. All went smoothly, and there were no issues whatsoever;. You cannot be taken home via an UBER car, so a friend or family member must pick you up after surgery to return you to your home.

OUTSTANDING surgery center! I was there to have my right ankle repaired on June 12th. Because of a…read moreprevious bad experience with anesthesia at a major hospital here in San Diego I was truly scared about going under again. The anesthesiologist, Dr. Diehl, took the time to actually sit down and explain in detail how he planned to do this and what he suspected had happened to me before. This was invaluable to me. It gave me the confidence to proceed and the knowledge of what to avoid in the future. If I could, I would only have Dr. Diehl ever put me under again! Everyone there from the ladies in Reception to the nurses in Recovery treated me like a real human being showing me compassion and caring. Connie started me off getting me settled in with her easy manner and sense of humor. Diane was with me in the OR offering comfort and stayed close and attentive while I was going under. Barb was there when I woke up-the part I was most scared of because of how I woke up before. Just for a few moments I thought I was in a video game LOL, but it was fine and lasted less than a minute. Barb patiently kept talking to me and I came around nice and easy. She continued with her care and we found out we had much in common having both worked with horses in our past. I am an older gal, disabled, and have to see quite a few doctors. The team at SMI is far and above any others I have experienced. Their care, knowledge and compassion are exemplary and worthy of the highest praise. Thank you everyone at SMI. All my best to you !!

To spare you the flowery words I wrote in a letter of thanks to Dr. Young today... We had a long difficult journey to get my wife pregnant. We met Dr. Young and immediately felt charged with a sense of renewed optimism because he was just good at what he does. He told us flat out we would be able to do this and less than a year later we had our daughter, who is now three and a half. That fits all my criteria for a good review. Now back to taco stands.
