Rooms are private, TVs have endless options if you're into that, and the quality of rest, sleep and care are excellent. I sort of feel like I'm being pampered at a Four Seasons hotel.

All I knew is I felt like I was about to die and couldn't walk and pain places I couldn't explain. They saved my life. For that I will always be grateful. Now 8/10 nurses were awesome. The cleaning staff are always awesome since I just laid bored and people watched. The other maybe two nurses were just a little disrespectful or sarcastic for whatever the reason being that was the only thing that irritated me. I've been treated pretty well when I've gone to the UC San Diego Hospital. And since having Medi-cal I know my options are limited or my stays are like only the 10 days I believe, this last time was life saving. But the current yelp rating being 2.3 average for the Hospital is the furthest thing from true in my opinion. I couldn't even walk to make it to the bathroom and close to death it felt like and was told that it was good I came to the hospital. And maybe my experience isn't a five star but I feel it's closer to five than four. The doctors are awesome. Incredibly informative. Thanks to them and everyone being professional. For being kind. A little confusing for the negative yelps, being good and professional with their profession and character. That's my opinion and experience. Since anyone who does help seems to be Hunted like an animal not always in a positive light, I'll leave out names I remember. Thank you

His name is Robert Sanchez, a nurse with the Integrative Medicine Center. Robert was so kind, understood I was very nervous, and explained everything I would experience. His compassion was really sincere, and his knowledge made everything he said completely understandable to me, a layman. By the time Robert explained each and every detail, I was feeling more settled. He had a great presence that I found very comforting and helpful, and much appreciated. Robert has excellent teaching qualities, as well as his nursing abilities. He is excellent at his job, and is a definite credit to Scripps, and an absolute blessing to me. Well done, Robert, and heartfelt thanks for helping me thru the experience! I believe we are quick to complain, but not as quick to praise, and I didn't want to pass up this chance to say how much I appreciated Robert and all of his efforts. Thank you for the opportunity to give credit to someone I felt went 'over and above' in what he did for me. Scripps is definitely the BEST, and employees such as Robert, are what makes it the best! Thanks and blessings to all of you!
