    If only I could have whipped out my phone to check Yelp while I was being strapped to a board by…read morefire department personnel... The ambulance ride was pleasant. That's really all I can say about San Diego Medical Services without frothing at the mouth. My bike accident was in February '13. When I received the bill a month after service in March '13 - nearly $2000 for about a half mile - I called them and provided all my insurance info - Anthem Blue Cross. In July of '13, I received a notification from Blue Shield that my claim was not being covered because I wasn't a member at the time. Uh, no shit. I immediately called SDMS - in July '13 - to notify them that the insurance info had been sent to the wrong provider. They told me "No, we sent it to the correct insurer, Blue Shield." After several attempts to explain that I was in fact covered by Anthem Blue Cross, this is literally the response I got: "Oh, we DEFINITELY sent the bill to Blue Shield AND Anthem Blue Cross." Wow. I immediately called Anthem Blue Cross, who confirmed that no bill had been submitted. The rep there called SDMS and learned that, in addition to the provider being listed incorrectly, all of my membership info was mistyped. He assured me he'd fix it. By the end of July '13, I thought things were getting resolved. In December '13, I received a collections notice from SDMS. My bill still hadn't been paid, I was going to be referred to a collection agency, etc. Yet no claim had been processed by Anthem Blue Cross. They insisted that they had still not received a bill. I called SDMS and had them read me all the details in their records. Sure enough, the mistyped information from July '13 had never been fixed - they were repeatedly sending the bill with entirely inaccurate information, all the while threatening me. Further, SDMS insisted that, while they would suspend collections activity, they couldn't send me confirmation in writing or tell me for how long. Because at this point I had no reason to trust them, I called back a week later. My insurance information was still listed incorrectly. I spoke to a manager, who assured me it would be changed. I asked him to send me confirmation in writing; he insisted that couldn't be done. Finally, in January '14, an insurance rep asked me to just send the copy of my collections notice to her so that she could do all the processing on their end. It's obviously my fault for not thinking of that sooner, but I also wish it hadn't taken 11 months for the insurance agents to suggest it when clearly SDMS wasn't going to get their shit together. As of February '14, one calendar year and ten days after my accident, the claim has been processed. In that span, SDMS: - inaccurately recorded my insurance information - billed the wrong insurance provider and lied about it - billed the correct insurance provider but with incorrect information such that the claim couldn't be processed - thrice lied to me about updating my insurance information - threatened to send my account into collections - refused to send me written confirmation about changes to my account or the suspension of collections activity SDMS is an absolutely disgusting, parasitic company that preys on people in their weakest and most desperate moments. I know that a bad Yelp review won't do anything to change that, but I really felt the need to put this out into the universe.

    You're better off crawling into a ditch and dying…read more They will charge you $2000 to drive you half a mile. They are out of contract with many health insurance companies and hospitals, so your insurance will not cover their services. Don't even think about using so much as a tissue from them, or they will charge you for that too. Seriously the worst possible service to ever exist on this planet.

    This business is actively abusing public resources and violating San Diego law. All County Fire…read moreregularly parks 3-4 commercial vans overnight on Iowa Street, despite having a private driveway and multiple garage spaces on-site. This is a clear violation of San Diego Municipal Code §86.0139, which prohibits overnight parking of commercial vehicles in residential zones between 2-6 AM. They're also likely violating §86.27, which limits public street parking to 72 hours. Their behavior is selfish and inconsiderate. Residents of Iowa Street--many of whom live in apartments with no private parking--are forced to walk several blocks late at night while these men leave their company vans along the curb like it's their personal lot. It's not only illegal, it's dangerous. I strongly encourage every impacted resident to file a report with San Diego Parking Enforcement through the "Get It Done" app or by calling (619) 531-2000. You can cite these violations and attach photos of their vans. This is not a one-time issue. It's daily, ongoing, and reflects poorly on any business that claims to serve the public. If you care about safe, accessible neighborhoods, speak up. These men clearly won't do the right thing on their own.

    Super easy and smooth to work with. Everyone I dealt with was mellow and not in a rush. Told me I…read morewas on the list for people to service. Then after about a week or two, they came out swapped out a couple old extinguishers. Then a week or two later sent a reasonable bill. Doesn't get easier than that.

    I got to try Smallgoods last week, and it was fantastic…read more Parking was scarce, but we parked down the street and walked over. We were greeted by a friendly staff member. It was our first stop on a mystery picnic experience. We had our to go order waiting for us, it was a fantastic Charcuterie board. It had cheeses, meats, fruits, and it was delicious. The ingredients were high quality. It is small and cozy inside, and outside they have a few tables with umbrellas and a rocking bench.

    Smallgoods Cheese Shop in La Jolla is like their name says is a small shop that offers mostly…read moreAmerican selections of cheese. There's limited seating inside and outside. I would consider sitting outside, as the vibe inside the shop was a tad negative coming from the older female staffer/owner. Salads, charcuterie plates and sandwiches are their specialty. Their signature sandwich is the smoked turkey and cheese is the most popular and that's what I've tried, along with chips. The sandwich was good but disappointing, because content wise very skimpy as it needed more turkey and cheese therefore not worth it. I had to stack the half sandwiches for pictures to make them appealing. The older female staffer, who appear to perhaps be the owner was rather unpleasant, not nice...I think she may have prepared my sandwich because the sandwich was skimpy and not as splendid I imagined a sandwich would be from this shop not far from my place in La Jolla. There's a wall with all the awards this shop received and with the looks of all those awards, one would think the service would be outstanding from the owners but that was NOT the case, sadly. The youngish female staffer behind the register was very helpful, nice and her positive attitude helped this shop receive a boost in stars. Reluctantly recommend.
