I highly recommend Scripps Coastal Medical Center for anyone seeking quality medical care in a welcoming environment. Can't say enough kind words about this place and their staff.

That alone made me feel cared for. I especially want to thank the nurse who received me this morning. I don't remember her name, but I will never forget her kindness. With her sense of humor and warmth, she eased my anxiety within minutes. In such a vulnerable moment, that kind of humanity makes all the difference. The medical team was professional, organized, and confident. Even in a highly technical environment filled with equipment, everything felt coordinated and reassuring. I felt safe the entire time. My procedure turned out better than expected, and I went home feeling peaceful and deeply grateful at 10:30 am Thank you for not only doing your job, but for doing it with empathy and heart. That is something that truly impacts patients and stays with them long after they leave I'm so grateful, thanks again all personal is amazing

I am writing this review because I hope hospital leadership will address concerns about my recent…read moreexperience. During my visit, I experienced excessive wait times, poor communication, lack of follow-up, staff behavior. What was most concerning was lack of communication. I understand that hospitals can be busy and that healthcare professionals work under significant pressure. However, patients and families deserve clear communication, respect, and timely care. In my case, I had to wait 3 days for an MRI after that their wasn't a care plan to follow up. I had to advocate for myself for proper treatment. I am sharing this feedback not simply to complain, but in the hope that management will review these concerns and take steps to improve the patient experience. I would appreciate having someone from leadership contact me to discuss this matter further. Thank you for your attention.

He thoroughly exams your areas of pain. When you have having your injections, he's very precise with his needle placements with the use of ultra sound (and numbs you so it doesn't hurt). And lastly, he doesn't try to up sell you. He suggested PRP for me. I asked if I should also do stem cells; He said no, not for your injuries. PRP should be good. Some doctors might push for more with profits. Not Dr Derrington. If you are looking for PRP and/or stem cell injections, I recommend him whole heartedly.

Unlike other offices in which I have always had circular word salad type complicated conversations that result in never ending phone calls and fraudulent billing (this includes many five star reviewed doctors I have seen), this office makes things simple and direct.

The office works as a team. Dr. Derrington is an excellent regenerative medicine doctor. Trust me, I've seen many frauds.

Abaigail placed me on a brief hold, then she said she will ask Dr. Li if she has sent over my 2 medication orders to my local pharmacy to pick up today. Then Abagail told me that Dr. Li has just sent over her orders for my medications and I should call my Walmart Pharmacy to ask when these two medications will be ready for me to pick up sometime today. I did call yesterday and this pharmacist Wen said these 2 medications will have to be special ordered from their supplier and they should be ready for me to pick up later this afternoon. After I called this Tri-City Primary Care Office 3 times I was able to get my medication order resolved from Dr. Xiang Li.

I was referred to Carlsbad Coastal by a friend and was glad i went. The wait was about 1/2 hour, but once i got into the exam room, everything went quickly. It turns out it wasn't a splinter but a deep thorn about 1/4" in length. There is no way i would have been able to get this thing out on my own. The procedure took about 1/2 hour once he started to numb the toe til the pesky thorn came out, but, no more pain! I highly recommend Carlsbad Coastal and their friendly staff and skilled doctor.

The parking situation has become very challenging since the hospital opened and there is often a bottleneck in and out of the free valet parking but that's just an annoyance. I have become increasingly frustrated by the time it takes to schedule elective appointments however. I was told I needed cataract surgery in June 2025. I didn't get a pre op appointment until 1/8/26. Recently I developed an issue with my scalp and wanted to see a different dermatologist than I'd seen in the past. His first appointment at that time (6/8/26) was at the end of September. I called the appointment line that day and made my request. I was told that there were no appointments available and they'd get back to me. When I followed through I was told I was on a priority list and they'd get back to me, which hasn't happened yet. I question whether any other HMO is better. I think they're great if you only need maintenance but, as you age, they don't have the invested resources to take care of my only growing needs.

First time here, I had no choice but to take the earliest available date for my procedure. I was…read moregiven instructions that I need to have an ample of time to look for parking. I was wondering at first and thinking how small is this area for parking to be a big of a problem. We came an hour early just to scout the place. They were not kidding. It's a big structure with lots of parking space but also full parking lot. Just like where I work.. it took us 20 minutes to find a parking space and was lucky to have it near the building where my appointment is. Reception wise, same as other Kaiser Permanente clinic or hospital I went to. In about less than 10 minutes, they called for my name and there's Ms Anna Lee and Mr Andrew receiving me warmly by the door. They brought me to my space and let me change into patient gown and Ms Anna Lee walked me through the procedure, Mr Andrew started my IV and I am very appreciative of him granting my request without questions. From there I already felt at ease and most of the questions in my head regarding the procedure were already explained. Few minutes passed and Mr Jonathan came in greeted me and introduced himself and took me to the procedure/sedation room. He also walked me through the things that will be done in that room. Mr. Cesar and Ms Kara were there as part of the team. Moments later, Dr Masters came in and explained to me what will transpire and ask me if I have questions. Procedure was done and all went well. I really appreciate being assigned to this team. They have exceeded my expectations. I was at ease and I have no doubts or questions during my visit. This is the quality of service I would like to have and also what I try to give to our patients as a healthcare personnel. Thank you so much to the whole team. Keep up the good work. :)
