I have been around the block enough times to know something is wrong. I was admitted as a voluntary…read morepsyche patient and while I was staying there, I noticed the lack of staff in the psych ward. Open unit or not, you CANNOT understaff a psych ward. This puts the nurses and other staff at risk. What if there is a mental breakdown and the staff become endangered because understaffing? Security? What if security can't make it in time? Listen to your staff, because I have been in group homes in the past where the patients/clients overwhelmed the staff. This is a liability and if you don't want your staff to sue for injuries AFTER requesting for more staffing, add more staff. A lawsuit would cost you more money than staffing the damn psych ward. Before anyone says anything.... I am the one who noticed the staffing issue. I asked about it because I know for a fact it's unsafe.... And I was told by said staff that they have TRIED to request more staff. I was not asked to do this, I am doing this because I saw a real safety issue. Do better! This is my favorite hospital and I don't like leaving bad reviews.

I am writing an Updated Review about my Awful Experience…read morethat I had in the Sharp Grossmont Emergency Hospital on Wednesday , July 10, 2026. I requested to be driven to Sharp Memorial Emergency Hospital in Claremont, CA. Because this Hospital was recommended by my good friend Michelle. I finally became a new patient at Sharp Memorial Emergency Hospital afterwards on July 2, 2026. Everyone of their ER Doctors gave me excellent medical treatment and I only had to wait 10 minutes to be assigned a bed in their Emergency Room. Unfortunately , I was convinced by a Falk Ambulance Paramedic to go to this Sharp Grossmont Emergency Hospital. My Date of Service on Wednesday on July 10, 2026 from a (6 Hour Tine Period) at my Arrival Time 6:30 PM until I was discharged from 12:30 AM. I have experienced a Traumatic Event from being IGNORED, DisRespected and I received NO Medical Treatment from Dr. Chris Young. Dr. Chris Young is the most UNPROFESSIONAL person and a JERK ER Doctor I have ever met. Dr. Chris Young has committed Fraud by doing nothing but charging my Medi-Care Insurance Company and charging my Medi-CAL for giving me NO MEDICAL CARE for my very serious DVT (Blood Clot) in my right leg. I was not in stable condition on Wednesday, June 10, 2026. The reason I was picked up from my house in San Diego, CA was because the swelling in my Right Leg has gotten worse and I had other symptoms that accompanied my very serious Medical Condition. My symptoms was very high Blood Pressure, my Blood Pressure was 184/71. That's the first time I had elevated Blood Pressure because my Blood Pressure has always been 120/60 and I felt like I was going to faint. That was a big red flag that me as a patient needed to be examined by an Emergency Room Doctor immediately. I also have filed a Report and an Official GRIEVANCE Complaint with my Insurance Company Blue Shield Promise of CA on July 18, 2026. Then I received this official document that was mailed out to my residence from Blue Shield Promise of California. There was supposed to be a 30 days Investigation by the CA Medical Board of Directors . I learned that from the outcome of this Investigation on Dr. Chris Young , his lazy Medical Assistant Pat and the incompetent Registration Clerk named Tiffany who she asked for my Social Security Number. Tiffany asked for the last 4 digits on my social security number then she wrote down my (4 Digit Number) on the yellow Post It Note. Tiffany was supposed to type my Social Security Number into her computer and also to save my Medical Records electronically for the Registration Office. I saw Tiffany didn't type up NONE of my necessary personal information into her computer like my Full Name , my Date of Birth, my Home Address and she didn't ask for my Drivers License for Identification. Some of the people they hire to work for Sharp Grossmont Emergency Hospital are very ignorant and incompetent like Tiffany was. Tiffany said , she is going to throw away my Social Security Number that she had written the last 4 digits of my Social Security Number on a Yellow Posted Note in her Trash Can on July 10, 2026. I told Tiffany NO because some person will use it to steal my identity. I told Tiffany to shred my Social Security Number on the Yellow Posted Note using her paper shredder for my security. Then Tiffany I saw finally agreed with me. That's the standard procedure to shred patients social security number to prevent identity theft. When Arianna this Blue Shield Promise of CA Grievance Coordinator called Dr. Chris Young regarding this Grievance Complaint that I had filed and reported against him and his medical employees. Dr. Chris Young LIED and told Arianna that my name was called by him (5 Times). My Name was only called ONCE. That was to check to see if I was still waiting in their Emergency Room. Yes I was waiting there for 6 long hours without No Complete Bloid Test that I asked to be ordered and me to take to see my Blood Test Results and No Ultrasound Machine was done on my Right Leg to confirm the diagnosis that I have a Blood Clot. I also was Ignored the whole time for 6 long hours. I was not assigned No Bed in the back Emergency Room and I received No Blood Thinner . Dr. Chris Young was also harassing me in the Emergency Waiting Room Lobby. Dr. Young was trying to force me out of their Emergency Room. I told Dr. Young he doesn't own this Sharp Grossmont Emergency Hospital so he cannot make me leave. I continued to call a Uber Driver to pick me up at the back of the Emergency Department Building. I am going to fight for my rights and fight for Justice. BMy advice is Please don't go to Sharp Grossmont Emergency Hospital because some of their Doctors are committing FRAUD.

For the UCSD Medical centers that have made leaps and boundz for UCSD Hospitals has reached to the many hospitals for when the Alvarado Hoepital was purcgased and cganged over to the UC SAN Diego Health East . The UCSD family of hospitals you are welcomed by the staff the ambience of the hospiral they check in with you if your having surgery nice waiting area with great staff tp help direct you. You see the many nurses and doctors that come and go when you cone in the morning thry have a great cafeteria you can take the kids if you have a member that is going through child birth. The CEO of UCSD the many hospitals you see the many art pieces and the sculptures they have makes UCSD hospitals sonr of the beest places. Guest servicess at the front desk you get help at the campus hospital for the Alvarado location has had many of the medical mile stones of the fist open heart teansplant that was the Jarvic heart surgery. The Campus hospita has been one of the cleanest for the Alvarado Hospital was one that was crowded with the Innate pautients. 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.

I have never had a referral happen so quickly! They had an appointment available Monday morning. Check in was quick and easy, done in just over a minute. We were called in at the appointment time. The nurse asked some questions and looked at my son's toe that was giving him some trouble. She advised what she though the treatment options would be. Dr. Thomas came in just a couple minutes later and said the same thing the nurse did. He gave us our options. I made a decision but my son was very scare of the shot and the procedure. Dr. Thomas was amazingly patient while my son had his freak out. He remained calm and tried to help me to get my son to understand what needed to be done and why. This took a good 15 minutes, but in the end Dr. Thomas did the procedure. It was over pretty quickly and my son became interested in the procedure. He answered all my son's questions about what he was doing, what tools he used, anything my son was curious about. I am truly shocked at how nice the nurse and Dr. Curt Thomas were. The fact they were also able to do this same day was more than appreciated. I really can't think of anything that could have been better. Thank you Dr. Thomas and care team!

I don't know if anyone has experience this kind of treatment at this hospital. They are treating my friend with little respect and basically trying to get him awarded to the state for what? His family and friends are here in San Diego except one son lives out of town they are telling half truth about his health condition and are trying very hard to get him in a long term care bcuz of how they feel about him they are vindictive and not unprofessional in how they are treating my dear friend at this hospital they have other interior motives I just not sure what they are trying to achieve with him and why he's being treated as child an not as adult. I don't trust this hospital and some of their staff on site PS. They replied and said they will release him after they break his spirit and he surrender to their authority. What kind of treatment do you call this? I never referred anyone to go there and I hope never have to be seen there. People we are living in the last days as the Bible speaks about man intent.

It was the fastest easiest painless experience I've ever had coming to this lab and I cannot say that I've experienced that previously at this lab... it definitely was this employee who made a difference. She needs to be training the other lab technicians. Unfortunately, I did not get her name but please check the schedule or Qgenda to see who was staffed that night. She deserves a kudos.
