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.

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.

When I first moved to Fallbrook, I was clueless about finding a good, if not great, (yes, the GREAT…read moreones do exist!), pediatrician for my two children. My daughter had just entered fifth grade, and my son was entering kindegarten, and having just come from our doctors at Loma Linda University Medical Group, well, needless to say, my standards were high and I wanted to find a pediatrician of the same intellectual/common sense caliber as those I'd left behind. My next door neighbor, Susan Urquhart, long-time resident of Fallbrook, gave me the name of HER pediatrician, Dr. Ronald Woerpel of Sharp Pediatric Medical Group in Oceanside. She couldn't say enough good things about him, and as her kids were the same age as mine, was going through all the typical young children medical stuff us moms all go through. Thanks to Susie, I brought both children in; Jen was due for shots, Jeff for his diptheria/mumps/measles vaccine. Squalling babies, children of all ages, up to teenagers, have gone through his office; needless to say, so began a long and healthy association with Dr. Ron (he has a twin brother who is a veterinarian practicing in Orange County - my husband, upon meeting Dr. Ron, discovered the resemblance and said, "You look really familiar - do you have a brother who is a veterinarian?")! Turns out, my husband, in the animal health business, had called on Dr. Woerpel's brother's practice! I knew I'd struck medical-professional gold. Dr. Woerpel is intuitive, matter-of-fact, professional, caring, and dedicated. Through the years, even when my children were teenagers, they still saw Dr. Woerpel for their physical exams; he always, too, kept my children up-to-date, when they were teens, on all the new and old sexually transmitted diseases, educating them about what to do and what not to do, and relating it to overall healthy maintenance. I like that; I don't mind when a doctor takes the initiative to talk one-on-one with my teens about all the societal and physical "horrors" existing in the real world! Not that I didn't, but it impresses kids more when a medical professional talks to them about it! And, because he has children of his own (most pediatricians do!), he's RIGHT THERE; he KNOWS what goes on in every growing stage of a child, all the way up into young adulthood. So, Dr. Ron, if you ever read this, know that I write this review as an extremely grateful parent, who now has two beautiful, healthy children in their twenties! One is getting married this August; the other is studying over in Shanghai, China! Yes, I still have to pester them to go in for their annual physical exams, especially Jeff, my youngest, but I am quite sure that , because of your care, they are the healthy, educated, and informed young adults I've always hoped they would be. Live Long and Prosper, Dr. Woerpel! Janet Kaemmerling Fallbrook CA 92028

I had to see Dr. Woerpel recently because my 5 month old has been running a fever off and on so I…read moreneeded to get her checked (and I couldnt get an appt with her regular pediatrician Dr. Mary Beth Casement). Dr. Woerpel is now located in Scripps Coastal Medical Center off of Salk Ave in Carlsbad. Now I would like to preface this by saying I understand being a doctor this time of year must be very hard as many people get sick and they are overrun with cranky patients and parents, but I feel like my experience with Dr. Woerpel was way more bad than good. When he came into to examine my daughter he didnt introduce himself and was very quick and to the point about everything. I guess he had a lot of patients that day and was in a hurry but how long does a courteous introduction take? When he started examining my daughter he really upset her because he was not very gentle and jostled her around a bit (because again he seemed to rushed) which made her really cry hard. I mean not jostled to the point of causing pain but you'd think if you were dealing with a tired, upset and sick baby wouldnt you want to try and make them LESS uncomfortable??? My poor baby cried so hard after he was done checking her (and she is a very good baby usually, even when sick) and was upset the whole way home until she cried herself to sleep. Not only that but he constantly interrupted me when I tried to explain in detail my daughters symptoms, he just wanted quick and to the point answers which made me feel like he was really rushed and just wanted to move on to the next patient. He didn't seem to show much consideration that I was a first time mommy with a first time sick baby. Like I said I understand he sees women just like me hundreds of times a week, but still... I just got all around bad vibes from him. Maybe I just caught him on a bad day but I will never see this pediatrician again.

I think Suzanne is one of the BEST therapists in San Diego. Because I work in Healing (nursing X 30…read moreyears), I must know about 25 therapists, and she is the BEST. She's loving and calm, but doesn't miss a beat in getting to the point. Very gentle, but also very wise. I've referred many, many others to her who feel the same as I do about her. She's a wonderful Soul.

Suzanne is wonderful. Re relationship counseling, she will give practical tools to implement that…read morewill improve things and she will be honest and let you know if the situation is really fixable for the long term or not. She is Christian based (and I am Jewish). I liked that approach also, even though I am not Christian. She will not string you out with a lot of unnecessary sessions or hide the ball. She does what is needed when it is needed and nothing less or more. She is about truly helping and not about the money. I have referred my friends to her through the years and continue to do so and she has helped them too and they are much happier because of her wisdon. I was in a horrific marriage abusive marriage (sometimes the man is also abused - it does happen) and Suzanne set me on a path that changed my life for the better. It did not happen overnight (although It could have happened much quicker had I just immediately fully embraced her advice) She opened my eyes, taught me a lot and I eventually transformed into a more confident and happy person who is now with the woman of my dreams. Thank-you Suzanne for everything you did to help me and I will never forget you. I just sent you another referral too.

I came to her when I was feeling hopeless in overcoming my 20+ year battle with anxiety. After trying years of talk therapy, and seeing little success, I made the decision to try hypnotherapy. Just a few weeks into working with Zhanna, I made more progress to overcome my anxiety than I did in the years of weekly psychotherapy sessions. Her style is extremely hands on and integrated as she gives you tools to help you stay accountable to your own healing. Most therapists I've worked with make you feel like another patient, and use a cookie cutter approach. But with Zhanna you feel your treatment is a truly unique experience and that she is just as invested in your healing and your progress as you are. I can't recommend Zhanna enough. She is intuitive, nurturing, compassionate and empathetic. Working with her has astronomically changed my life, how I see myself and my own potential. My only regret is not starting to work with her sooner! If you're ready to truly make a shift in your life, working with Zhanna is a no-brainer. It's challenging work, but her support and encouragement along the way makes it worthwhile. Make the investment in yourself and you will see your life shift radically.

I couldn't disagree more with the previous posts. She has listened to everything I had to say, has been extremely patient and kind. I've been in tears due to the frustration of my illness, and Dr. Judd was compassionate and made me feel much more optimistic. Rheumatologic conditions are frustrating, both for the patient and doctor. Getting positive results can take time to achieve. I am on very high doses of pain medication and she has NEVER acted suspicious towards me. There is definitely a period of adjustment getting comfortable with your new Rheumatologist. She may be an introvert, but don't mistake that for apathy. She most definitely cares. I moved to northern Washington, and instead of getting a new doctor up here I decided to fly down ever couple of months to continue seeing her. I highly recomend Dr. Judd
