    I have been coming here for many years, If you're looking…read morefor a great primary dr I highly recommend Dr Zane! I recently visited and as usual had a very positive experience. The staff was frienndly, professional, and attentive from the moment I arrived. Check-in was smooth, and the waiting area was clean and comfortable. My provider was thorough, took the time to answer all my questions. The facility is well maintained and modern, which adds to the overall sense of professionalism. I highly recommend Scripps Coastal Medical Center for anyone seeking quality medical care in a welcoming environment. Can't say enough kind words about this place and their staff.

    It's hard to believe, but I just had the most ideal primary care experience. After moving back to…read moreNorth County about a year ago, I needed to find a new primary care provider. It was time for my physical, and the appointment scheduler recommended a clinic that was less impacted. They also put me on a waitlist for an earlier appointment, though it ended up not being necessary. Check-in was smooth on the first floor, and my primary care office was on the second. I simply followed the orange dots, as instructed. Every staff member I encountered was incredibly kind, compassionate, knowledgeable, and relatable--truly like they were made for their jobs. A special shoutout to Nurse Tionna, who was so nurturing and sweet! She even cared for my son while I had my physical, which was such a huge help. I absolutely love my primary care physician, Dr. Stephen Shapero. He is down-to-earth, efficient, and genuinely listens. Unlike some rushed appointments where doctors seem to diagnose in 15 minutes and move on, Dr. Shapero took his time and made me feel like a priority. A true unicorn in the medical field! I'm so grateful to have Scripps as part of my healthcare team and actually look forward to future appointments. Highly recommend!

    Dr. YooJin Chong is an exceptional primary care physician who truly goes above and beyond for his…read morepatients. He is compassionate, attentive, and incredibly thorough. From every appointment, I always feel heard, respected, and genuinely cared for. Dr. Chong takes the time to listen carefully, explain medical concerns in a way that is easy to understand, and makes sure all questions are answered without ever making you feel rushed. His professionalism, knowledge, and calm demeanor bring so much comfort and confidence during difficult health situations. What stands out most is how much he truly cares about his patients' overall well-being. He treats you as a person, not just a chart or appointment. It is rare to find a doctor with such kindness, patience, and dedication. I am beyond grateful for the outstanding care Dr. Chong has provided and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and compassionate primary care doctor.

    This medical office has a few different doctors providing primary care for adults. Overall, I had a…read moregood experience, and will come back. I didn't wait too long in general. My appointment was at 9:30am. So I arrived around 10 minutes early. There was no wait and the receptionist finished checking me in at 9:24am. (There is paperwork to fill in for new patients, which they have you print out at home and fill out beforehand. I've never had to do that before, but something to note if you don't have a printer. I would assume they have workarounds.) They have a waiting area, where I waited before I was put in a room and checked for vitals at 9:38. And I was seen by the doctor at 9:49. So pretty standard wait time. Staff was nice and friendly. They have a small kitchen area where you can get water. Their water machine was broken but the receptionist was happy to help me pour it out of the jug into my bottle. They have wifi while you wait (connection was pretty bad, otherwise. Internet was barely working in my phone. I have ATT.) Also, they have you wash your hands before coming in. Seems like the waiting area has a lot of books so maybe it's to keep everything clean for all patients. Apparently not a Korean clinic, but the owner is Korean, doctors speak Korean, and they have many Korean patients. My care was in English. I saw the newest doctor there, Dr. Yu, who gave me an annual physical. She listened to all my questions and provided good information, as well as looked through my past information and helped me order bloodwork. They apparently can do blood work on site Tuesdays and Thursdays after 10am, or you can go through Labcorp. Overall, it was convenient, and the clinic was nice. I got an appointment pretty quickly (within a couple weeks of scheduling).

It also takes a long time to get an appointment with her, most of the time you'll see an NP. Gave Dr. Chong a year so it's not like it was a short amount of time. Good riddance to this practice.

I thought I could go…read moreback for my well being annual visit in 2024 but all of a sudden her practice is full and they told me to go some where else? The front office said they are not taking new patients I said I was not I saw Dr. Chong in February? I asked if they would speak to Dr. Maribeth Chong front desk said they would I got a call back three days later and they said no! I have Medicare PPO that I pay for through United Health Care. Apparently the payment through my PPO is not good enough! It's all in the Doctor's best interest not in the patients's best interest! They don't care!!! You are warned!!! If your insurance doesn't pay top dollar you are not wanted!!! Wow!!! So her office says they are not accepting any Medicare. If you pay cash I bet you can get an appointment. The office uses insurance when they need it! They need to get off United Health Care Medicare Advantage PPO website! Dr. Maribeth Chong is using United Healthcare Medicare PPO for her own benefit to promote herself to get new patients but not Seniors with Medicare YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!!
