Do not come here. The second you become a patient at this…read morefacility you cease to be a human; you become an insurance payment. Before I came to this facility, the nurse liaison, Sarah, sold me on this place. What a phenomenal salesman. She knew I was eager to get Good physical therapy. I've been diagnosed as a partial quadriplegic. I've held the deep belief that I could improve if I could get the right physical therapy. She convinced me that would be the case here; I would receive the best physical therapy, with the best facilities, with the best trainers. I'm on my seventh week without physical therapy. Why? The same Sarah is also somehow the one responsible for getting my letter of agreement to the insurance company. For seven weeks she simply hasn't done this. Why would she? I'm not a person after all, I am an insurance payment. If you happen to run into Sarah, she is a great spinner of stories; none of the stories are true. I was getting RNA until they head-trainer Frank, canceled the program. In a phone conversation with him I tried to explain that I thought there was a miscommunication in regards to the cancellation. He repeatedly talked over me. Not letting me get a word in He repeatedly said, "I don't care what you have to say, I canceled the program." Frank's favorite things to do are moping around and watching TV (not training patients). Recently after coming back from PT I had a new roommate. The roommate I recognized from a previous facility. He assaulted numerous employees: kicking, punching, even throwing his own feces. He is not sane. Imagine the shocking horror I experienced when walking into my own room and finding him feet from my bed separated by a small curtain. It took less than an hour before he threatened me telling me he would **** me up. k*ll me. These aren't empty threats. He has further assaulted at least two employees here. A nurse heard this and he was moved to the room next to mine. We now share a bathroom and a door that links our rooms together. So he can now walk into my room and carry out his threats whenever he's so decides. Imagine the fear and anxiety that are my constant companions in this godforsaken facility. This man can walk, i am partial quadriplegic. I am not safe here. It's hot on my side of the facility because they keep the windows open to outside. Why? Because the stench of urine and defecation is so strong and overpowering coming from this patient Room that the windows have to be open to mitigate the smell. He urinates and defecates in his bed. He refuses to be washed or cleaned -and with the threat of assault who would want to clean him anyways. The administration regularly has 5 CNA's on the floor for 74 beds. That is 14.8 patients per CNA. That is budgeting patient-care out of the building. "They got it", says Jay the administrator when made aware of this predicament. No Jay, they don't. Jay is the third administrator in the year-plus I've been here. Patient- care (or a lack there of) is at an all-time low. The collective morale contained within this facility is at an all-time low. Experienced employees are being fired or leaving and being replaced by 22-year-olds with zero experience (why pay an experienced CNA when you can hire a one with no experience for much cheaper). One of these was put on the floor without finishing orientation in a section he had never had. The incompetence and carelessness of this administration is concerning, it's frightening. My quality of life in this facility is one of constant anxiety, sleepless nights, and complete the dehumanization. I can go on and on with the truth about this place. About how, for instance, I was pushed out of bed by a CNA who said I fell out of bed because of my "bad attitude" (does that mean she did it on purpose?). A new administrator who didn't introduce himself (Jay)came in my room and told me he wanted me to "feel safe" (not to be safe). The fact is: I'm not safe. Like a street preacher proselytizing, here I am trying to keep one person out of hell. Will I be further punished and denied physical therapy because I write this. I very well may be. So be it. If you read this, believe me: to lie in a bed here is to forgo your humanity. Don't come here.

The front facade of the building has Moorish architectural elements instead of the usual ubiquitous Rancho Bernardo Spanish-themed red tile roofs. That alone was impressive to me. There is blue tiling on the second-story balconies and the exterior has lattice-like open roofing around the perimeter, which also has tiling detail. I also admired the aisle of palm trees planted along the middle of the parking lot. Inside, Gateway Medical has recently done a lot of refurbishing and looks very nice. Looking at the array of businesses listed on the lobby directory, there is a good variety of businesses listed, including Quest Diagnostics (drug screening.) I got lucky when I arrived this morning & found a parking spot in front but be prepared for busy periods when schlepping in from further back in the parking lot is a real possibility. For such a lovely building and the use of creative elements of architectural & landscape design, Gateway Medical earns 5 YELP STARS from me.

The facility is spotless, modern, and incredibly well organized -- everything feels purpose-built for efficiency. The pre-op and post-op bays are impressively designed: private yet open enough for nurses to keep an eye on patients easily. Every staff member we met -- from check-in to recovery -- was professional, kind, and reassuring. The whole process ran like clockwork but never felt rushed or impersonal. For family members waiting during surgery, UCSD has thought of everything: nearby food options, convenient self-parking and valet parking, and a comfortable waiting area with a status board that keeps you updated on your loved one's progress. They've truly set the standard for outpatient care. The combination of thoughtful design, efficiency, and genuine compassion made what could have been a stressful day feel calm and well supported. Highly recommend UCSD Health and the Koman Pavilion.

I had hernia surgery performed several years ago at Coastal Surgeons. I've experienced pain at the…read moresurgical site every time I work out, and it recently got so bad one night that I went to urgent care. I later found out that the surgeon who performed my original procedure had retired. I called on a Wednesday to request an urgent appointment and was told they needed to obtain records from the urgent care doctor first--why couldn't their own surgeons evaluate the problem? I was promised a call back, but received nothing. When I called them back on Friday, I learned the representative I had spoken with was out sick and hadn't informed anyone about my situation. No urgent case handoff to other staff had occurred. From there, I had to deal with a rude and clueless staff member whose main goal seemed to be doing as little work as possible and rushing me off the phone. I eventually got an appointment with a different surgeon outside their practice the following week. When I asked if he needed the urgent care report, he replied, "Why? I'll make my own determination." Between the lingering pain and the thoughtless, incompetent staff, I have taken my care elsewhere. Caveat emptor.

My OB's office recommended I go to the ER for IV fluids and an ultrasound because I was also having ongoing light spotting and abdominal cramping that wouldn't let up. Dr. Besser made us feel like we were overreacting for even being there. He said people get sick like this all the time and seemed dismissive of how sick I actually was. When I asked about the ultrasound my OB had recommended (due to the spotting and cramping), he told us it was rare to do an ultrasound in the ER and made us feel crazy for requesting one. His bedside manner was poor, I did not feel heard or taken seriously at a time when I was very sick, dehydrated, and just needed fluids, medication, and some peace of mind about the pregnancy. When I finally got a bed for fluids and was eventually given an ultrasound, nobody went over the results with me. Dr. Besser never came back to see me again. I will add my nurses were amazing and I was highly satisfied with them along with the other staff. I love Scripps La Jolla and my OB team. Just highly disappointed with this Er dr and how he responded to us.
