    Coming here to get treatment was a very pleasant experience. I really appreciate how nice everyone is when you arrive here: from the parking valets, to the check-in desk, to the nurses, the professionals on staff, and everyone else around the whole facility. People here are kind and very accommodating to patients. They are professional here and they seem to really, really care about your comfort, your feelings, and how they are able to assist or support you. Overall, I feel like Sharp and UC San Diego Health are really good patient care companies. Thanks for the experience that I had here. Also, the Cafe Colabria here is great for family members who want to grab a beverage and light bite while visiting.

    This would be me entering into this nightmare this hellhole called grossmont Hospital or compassion is the last thing they think of

    Monday I go in there. I cannot breathe. I'm a cardiac patient of five heart attacks in the past and a stroke. I get mistreated stuck in the lobby the entire time while they take my vitals not even assisting me with any type of treatment discharging me leaving me hanging with no paperwork out in the lobby. I had to finally walk out with my IV still attached to getting woken up at 2 AM in the morning, not being able to breathe and spent the entire morning at the ER transported by an ambulance to the following Yeah, and you know what you're not gonna believe this I stuck it out to the very end all the way to the very end of the discharge and you know sons of bitches again they said infection again they said shortness of breath, but yet they only prescribed me blood pressure medicine. How retarded is that? They can't explain the blood coming out of my ear because they didn't even bother taking pictures much less a sample or even check my ear. They are more concerned about fulfilling me in the hallway in a chair the entire time other than when I stepped up to get oh wait, never mind that's right they took the x-ray while I was sitting in my chair so yeah, everything was done in a chair. I know that's a lot to be said, but I do feel better letting that off my chest. Add to the individual who obviously was a DEI higher with your disrespect and lack of compassion. You have no business being in the hospital setting.

    Today was a quick in and out for a CT of my sinuses as they have been giving me issues. I was referred here by my MD. The waiting list is long but once in there everything runs rather smooth. I want to give a special thank you to the staff for their kindness. My appointment was at 12:30 and when I arrived to find out they wanted me there at 12:00 (which were not stated in my instructions). I was floored but my understanding was that it was for pre-registration that I already filled out online & I assumed that with it being lunch time, I would be a patient right after them coming back. Memo to myself to come 15min early any where even with pre-registration. Anyone coming here at the imaging center you will need to arrive 30min early fyi. Even with my fault of misunderstanding the schedule. The desk staff were so polite and worked me right in. They weren't nasty about explaining the time situation & just said it's ok. Cindy was my technician who did the CT scan and she was so polite and made me feel welcomed. She explained the procedure that it was simple and quick after positioning me on a long bed table. There was a huge circle that was over me yikes. The circle is huge and intimating as I thinking, "oh my!! I'm going to be head in and can't move".. ‍ Cindy said, "You can close your eyes and place your hands over your tummy" so I followed her instructions. She came to my head to center me under a red light. She then seems to fade in the background and then I hear a noise like something going around the cylinder for about 2 min max if that and it was over. She was said, "ok it's all done and results should be back to your MD in less than 5 days". That literally was it. Total time: Check in 2 minutes, I may have sat in the waiting room less than 10 minutes and scan was about 3 minutes. Awesome and quick experience. Ok now the parking is where they got me... Why is it for less than 30 minutes $3?? They do not validate parking for regular parking but for handicapped parking only. If there is a parking attendant he may take cash I'm unsure but make sure you bring a card to pay for the parking just in case.

    Hi I am writing this review about Sharp Grossmont Hospital. A couple of days ago. I was in the emergency room for a possible stroke and all the doctors and nurses were very helpful. Theirs several other issues that needs to be addressed at this time. The first is being in the emergency room for over 13 hours or more to find a room upstairs once I got to the room all the nurses are very helpful. The next issue is that I had to wait for a long period of time for a bariatric bed for me once I got it is really comfortable. The next issue is waiting for a long wait time for the kitchen to bring up the food trays to the room.

As a Yelp Elite Reviewer the times that I have seen the many areas the hospital was crowded with machines and beds in the hallways some that didnt have sheets or ready to use. With the take over by UCSD tgey went through and changed many areas making the hospital more welcoming yet there are many areas still mussibg. The new UCSD Hospital is one that I xan recomend.

From start to finish, my experience at Sharp Grossmont's Emergency Department was exceptional. From check-in, to being escorted to triage, to every interaction throughout my visit, every single point of contact was friendly, efficient, and thorough. What stood out to me most was how genuinely kind and positive everyone was. Every staff member seemed to take pride in what they were doing. They did their jobs efficiently and thoroughly, while still making me feel cared for as a person. I've had experiences in other emergency rooms before, and this was by far the best experience I've had, especially considering the circumstances that brought me there. A very special thank you to Dr. Alex Kim, who sutured the wound above my eye. Having an injury on my face was obviously stressful, and I was concerned about how it would heal. Dr. Kim was extremely professional and meticulous, took his time, and made me feel completely at ease throughout the repair. I can already barely see the incision, and I am incredibly grateful for the care and attention he put into his work. No one wants to find themselves in an emergency room, but I walked away from this experience feeling incredibly grateful. The level of care I received truly went above and beyond, and I hope this review helps ensure that Dr. Kim and the entire Sharp Grossmont ER team receive the recognition they deserve.

    This is my second visit to this location, once for myself, and most recently for my 1.5-year-old…read moreson's physical. Both times I've felt dismissed, but this last visit is what pushed me to write this review. During the appointment, I was asked if I wanted to do his follow-up shots. I told them no, since I wanted my husband there for that. They kept pushing, and since I was already there and it was his last round of shots, I gave in and agreed to do them if it would be quick. In hindsight, I should've stuck with my original decision. The medical assistant came in with the shots, and the needle was noticeably thick. Thicker than other shots he's had before. Thick enough that there was a small but significant amount of blood after every single one, and there were four total (two per leg). Now, I know it's normal for that to happen since this was the last round of the shots he needed to take, so it's nothing new, but this time it was a significant amount compared to prior shots. What upset me most was that she had mentioned in the beginning that she'd worked with babies before and it would be quick and careful and it was nothing but opposite of that. By the last shot, my son was in so much pain that he pushed back and the needle came out and she poked him again, making a new hole next to the one she had already made. I confronted her about it and all she said was sorry. Right after, my son started crying in a way I'd never heard before. He went pale and his eyes rolled back. I told her I thought he was going to faint, and she ran to get the doctor. The doctor came in, listened to his breathing, and said, "I don't think it's an allergic reaction." I told him I wasn't worried about an allergic reaction -- my son was fainting from the pain, and I'd never seen him like that, so I was scared and concerned. All he said back was, "Well, he looks better now and his breathing is steady, he'll feel better soon," which felt dismissive. On top of that, throughout the exam the doctor kept complaining about my son moving while he checked his ears, lungs, and vitals. I was obviously helping keep him as still as possible but he is a professional working with a toddler, managing a squirming child is part of the job, his frustration and verbal acknowledgement of it was unnecessary and not professional. Afterward, I called to file a complaint. When the supervisor called me back, I was not satisfied with how it was handled, her only "solution" was to talk to the staff involved and have the clinic call me back, though I'm still not clear what that call was supposed to accomplish. How is that going to prevent this from happening to someone else? She also mentioned that my son could be seen by their pediatrician going forward. I asked her -- if you have a pediatrician, why wasn't he seen by her to begin with? I'm aware of their policy of not guaranteeing the same doctor each visit, but I shouldn't have to deal with that inconsistency in care regardless, especially after an experience like this. At one point, when I mentioned I should have trusted my gut, she actually chuckled, which felt just as dismissive and disrespectful as everything else. I let her know I'm switching my son to a clinic that can guarantee the same doctor and consistent care every time. If you have young kids, I'd think twice about bringing them here or at least make sure it's with a pediatric doctor!

    Front desk staff not very supportive Or friendly. I'm usually very impressed with family health…read morecenter customer service. Went twice and had same experience.

    Lemon Grove Family Health Center - Bandaid used to cover one injection. I understand it's normal to bleed a little but this was a lot compared to past times.

    Lemon Grove Family Health Center - Bandaid used to cover up the two holes with the same needle. Just goes to show it was not done properly or with care.
