Scripps Memorial Hospital La Jolla, San Diego CA

I can never thank enough the staff, doctors, and nurses at this hospital for my stay several years ago.

I been in the ICU here in Brawley California, Just got news tht I will be joining you facility and I must say reading all the awsome reviews is making me feel like am going to get the best care and ever Thank you am ready for a hood healthy recovery and meeting all the loving caring staff

No waiting time. Care is flawless. Staff are knowledgeable, caring, beautiful beautiful building. The best hospital in the world.

I had my daughter here and it was the best experience ever. We were all treated like family and everyone was warm and comforting. The nurses totally pampered us and a couple weeks after we got home, they emailed and called to make sure the experience was exceptional, which it was.

HORRIBLE. If you care about your health.and your wallet.stay AWAY AS FAR AS POSSIBLE from ANY SCRIPPS HOSPITALS.they only thing they care is to dry you and your insurance DRY.to pay egotistical, un professional and professionally fully incompetents doctors and staff. Now we know why they need all the billboards and adds on freeway and what not.otherwise nobody would ever go there.from a nurse. " we have not seen you in two years? " answer.well, shouldn't this be a good sign? I said.nurse answer. " well if you do not come, we cannot bill the insurance and we cannot be here then. " that shows where we are in the US with Healthcare.single pay for all is the ONLY answer!

Idk about the rest of the hospital but when I had my son years back it was an amazing experience. The Nurses were super nice & helpful. As a first time mom I was obviously scared & the nurse was very supportive. Room was very clean. After my emergency c-section they made sure I was comfortable & that I still bonded with my baby. They even brought in the crib & special lights into the room since my baby had jaundice. When it came down to breastfeeding they send a specialist to help. When we finally were ready to check out they send us home with a bunch of freebies & even a handmade baby blanket. I can't say enough good stuff about my experience there.

Don't expect much from the volunteers, 3 disconnections and 45min spent trying to find out what my fathers condition is. Very frustrating. In the end he was discharged.i am not happy with the amount of time it took to discover that my father was alive and not at the facility. Limbo is not good place to be.

If it was not for their doctors I would quit. The office support staff is incredibly incompetent. They say they have a new system issue. I think its more their personnel or training.

I was happy with all the attention that is offered! My dr Olson is a very good person and all the doctors!

My brother, 73, with MS, was treated in the Prebys Cardiovascular ICU for a urinary tract infection this past Saturday and Sunday, the third time in four months that this has occurred. This time (and last), he had to be intubated, his wife and I were told, because the infection had proceeded to the point where he had difficulty breathing. On Monday morning, the tube came out and he was transferred to the seventh floor of the Browning building, with no assignment to any attending physician. He received one or two of his sixteen regular medications, plus one antibiotic pill. He received no meals, as far as he knows. When I visited today, there was not even a pitcher of water in the room, although there was a lot of random debris on the counters.

This hospital, like its companion UCSD, is able to transfer a very sick elderly man around like a tennis ball in a game of catch without anyone looking to see what the record says or what he needs. The minute you complain, they are "very sorry you feel that way, " and they do not acknowledge that you are actually complaining of mistreatment (i.e, they can smell lawsuits, but they can't smell the coffee). I am so very sorry that my brother moved here to San Diego to get better care than he was getting in a small town in Pennsylvania. I was so very, very wrong. The entire system at Scripps (and at UCSD as well) is an abomination. Hospitalists don't talk to outside physicians and vice versa. No piece of information given or shared can change any initial assumption. And no piece of information travels twelve inches unaltered.

As in most places, the nurses and aides are excellent, hardworking, overworked, underpaid, and badly led people. But the doctors appear to be holographic projections. What my brother needs most is for his various doctors-a primary care physician and a neurologist and someone cognizant of his entire ER experience-to hold a conference to make a plan for his care and rehabilitation so he won't keep coming to the ER on the point of death. Is that possible? No. Not under this system. The thing they seem to dislike most is, well, how to say this? Patients. They don't want patients making all this trouble for them. The best you can expect is care that won't trigger a lawsuit, and what you get is indifferently delivered (although hidden under the sweet talk of nurses), because all sorts of systems are in place to assure that anyone who really has control and could exercise it will never be able to do so. I'm sure the better doctors run screaming. If only the whole city could abandon these prized icons and medical anchors that have two entire cardiovascular centers within a stone's throw of each other-yet cannot keep track of, um, what're they called? Oh yes, patients.

Not a good experience. One day my loved one is getting better then all of the sudden the Dr tries to cover up fatal mistakes made. If an older person is likely to have more delicate lungs whom ever is cleaning lungs with the tracheostomy should think to be more delicate. The lungs might tear. A family loses their loved one. Hearts are broken! The dr lies and says something different to each person. Because of age no repercussions can't be done. The Dr that lies should lose her license to practice medicine. It would have been better to hear I'm sorry we made a mistake then to be told many different stories. Glad I won't have any more family going there.
