Scripps Memorial Hospital La Jolla, San Diego CA

I spent 3 days in Scripps La Jolla for a fall that was Covid related The care, the staff at all levels (even the food) was outstanding, Kind, gentle, thoughtful and thorough. I cannot say enough good things about the quality of care I received. Jasmin, Jen, Narcissia as well as Dr. Lewis, Dr Boyd and the ER staff And all the mentors.

I cannot say enough great things about Scripps La Jolla! My husband and I just welcomed our first baby into the world, and we feel beyond blessed for the excellent care that we received from all of the nurses and staff. I had a precipitous labor, and have since learned just how scary and dangerous a precipitous labor can be. This makes me even more grateful for the calm, professional, skilled, and vigilant care that we received. In the midst of the quick, and what could have been chaotic, intake and immediate transition to pushing, the nurses and midwives remained composed enough to involve me in decision-making, like pushing positions, and also honored all of the major items on my birth plan, including delayed cord clamping, immediate skin-to-skin contact, and allowing my husband to cut the cord. The team in charge of my postpartum care, likewise, treated us with the utmost respect and compassion, and their vigilance kept me from developing complications related to my precipitous birth. Thanks to Scripps La Jolla, Baby Girl and I are both healthy and recovering well! Our deepest gratitude goes out to Christiana, Christina, Sarah, Malissa, Elizabeth, Selicia, Ann, and the many other angels who took such outstanding care of us.

I had out patient surgery on July 18th. Thank you to the staff who treated me. They were very caring and listened to me. Especially the Anthestia Dr. I have high anxiety with the mask. He was very kind. I have had many surgeries and he's the only one who listened to me. I was scared to go for to Covid 19. The hospital was very clean and they took all precautions. Thank you.

This was the best experience I have ever had at a hospital, I went to the wrong building and a maintenance guy gave me a ride to the front door and i was in alot of pain and could hardly walk and even slower with a mask blocking my face, than when I was at the right building, they helped me quickly with a wheelchair and everyone was nice in the lobby and the nursing staff and doctors made me feel comfortable and confident, with how busy they were and covid being a scary situation, they still made me feel like it was just me there being helped and they made having surgery feel comfortable and I'm confident in this hospital and all the staff, thank you so much for fixing my body and giving me peace of mind during the time I arrived and afterwards, you are all amazing people and I am so grateful for this experience and all of you.

I wish i could give less then one star. The emergency is not bad but the facility is a joke. I've been trying for over a month to get autonomic testing because I'm extremely sick. I just keep getting the run around from them and meanwhile my health is getting worse. I was under the impression Scripps was the best little did I know they're the best at being extremely unorganized. I even had my doctor send over a request twice and they still can't figure it out. They are definitely part of the problem not the solution. I'm sure they just have thousands of people waiting to do autonomic testing that's why it's taking so long. This is the major problem with health care by the time I get seen it will be to late to treat me. I honestly don't know why they put care into the word.maybe they are talking about their own pocket book cause it definitely isn't about the patient.

Emergency Room. Medically they are good. Billing wise they are not. They use contracted doctors from La Jolla Emergency Specialists who are out-of-network and not contracted with your insurance. You will get a surprise bill for the balance. How do you request an in-network doctor during an emergency?

Have been to this facility a few times and it is one of the better ones in the San Diego county area. They have received significant funding some years ago and have put it to good use having built state of the art cardiac facilities and the new arm of the hospital where I got hospitalized earlier today. I am sure experiences may vary from person to person and will depend in part on the staff that was carrying for a patient. Due to my condition I had to be seen rather frequently and having been around the hospitals in the county, like I said earlier, this is one of the better ones. A friend of mine once had a surfing accident and tore a part of his face off, within an hour an eye surgeon had come in and performed a surgery on his face, reconnecting the tear draining tubes so excellent that a few months from that day there was nothing but a small white line below his eye after such massive damage that he had undergone from the accident. Anyways, enough rant from me, if you are looking for a facility to be admitted to consider this one. Also if your matter is cardiac in nature Scripps has a reputation of a leader around here. Hope this helps!

The staff at Scripps La Jolla is fantastic! They are very supportive and made my experience as comfortable as possible. Highly recommend!

I cant say enough positive things about this hospital. Staff is very friendly and skilled.

Arvin in the nuclear department conducted some tests which took a lot of time. He stood out as among the top in terms of care, skill, and making me feel comfortable. He honestly made my time the best it could possibly be. He is the BEST and i will alway remember my experience with him!

From Kansas needing emergency heart care. Everyone from the receptionist to nurses, lab and doctor friendly, helpful and caring. No wait, ushered in for treatment for afib immediately. Professional and personable.

Great Care but the Billing Department sucks! Get ready to sit on hold for the rest of your life to give your insurance information because the registration person stated “I know all insurance, I deal with a lot of them” when I gave her my insurance card & long behold a $1300 bill comes in the mail that say **no insurance**.

This hospital has some of the most snobbiest rude disrespectful nurses I have ever meet in the ER! The doctors are not very caring either! I will never go back to this hospital ever!

Horrible wait, had to actively hunt down the doctor to be seen, and when he did he discharged her without doing anything meaningful. Had to go to a different hospital where we learned that they missed an 8" long sharpie-width abcess in her leg. Go anywhere else that your insurance covers

I was born here! Thanks Scripps Memorial! Came out healthy and so did my mom. Over the years growing up they stiched me up quite a few times and didn't leave many scars. I guess I haven't really been back much since I was to younger but I did get an orthoscopic surgery that also turned out pretty well. So thanks again.

People come here to feel better not worse. My girlfriend had excruciating pain for days and was yelled at and asked to prioritize a single part of her body with the pain. When she stated that she felt pain in two different parts she was told again ajd again to only chose one, "which one is more important. " Who does that to people? At least explain to the patient why they can't be seen for multiple symptoms. Unbelievably bad service.

I would not go here if a choice is available. My baby was abused by the staff. And taken from us after she was delivered.

If you want to fight for your life find a different hospital.they will push their agenda on you, convince you you're wrong, tell you everything's peaceful.it's not!

Utter garbage. I went in with chest pain and an inability to breathe. The staff just laid me in a bed for several hours, then came back and said my x ray was clear, so I could leave. No CT, nothing. The doctor chalked it up to anxiety even though I wasn't anxious at all. He dismissed me despite my protests, and as it turns out, I do indeed have a breathing disorder (diagnosed elsewhere, by competent doctors). They charged me $6,000 for absolutely nothing.

To the people at this hospital: LISTEN TO YOUR PATIENTS. If a person insists they aren't feeling a certain way, entertain the possibility that they really aren't. You're not gods. You're pathetic.

A family member was recently treated at this facility, both in the Emergency Department and then later on an inpatient basis. The medical care that she received was excellent, the staff were all very professional yet caring and warm, and the facility itself is very clean, modern and fresh. If you have to go to the hospital, this one is a great choice!

I sat in the surgical waiting room for 4+ hours and was tortured with CNN news reporters arguing over politics on their TV. It made it very stressful to hear arguing on the TV while your stressed waiting for a loved one to come through surgery. On top of the arguing that was occurring, they played over and over again all the women's accounts of being sexually abused, on CNN. Can't they turn it to something more neutral like a travel channel or a diy channel.
