He is professional, listens to your concerns, and helps develop of plan of care WITH your input. I've now been getting allergy shots at the clinic weekly with Jay, RN and he is also fabulous! He is super friendly and takes great care of all the patients. Definitely recommend coming here for the allergy clinic!! As for the ophthalmologist I saw, he was not friendly and dismissed my concerns. He almost laughed them off to be honest. I haven't felt that disrespected in a while. Wouldn't recommend.

Due to this year's change in insurance. I've had to suffer the ineptitude of Molina...particularey any mental health protocol. Shocking! and potentially harmful. 100% incompetent/ negligent. I was transferred at least 8 times, plus "call-back" numbers...simply trying to obtain a 10-15 minute appt with a genuine MD, specializing in Psychiatry. ALL I require is the continuation of existing meds prescribed by my last Dr. What's so hard about that? I spent from 11:30am to 4pm exhaustively TRYING to connect to a legit psychiatrist's office to make a simple appt!!!

Your parking is horrible! I spend a half hour trying to drive around Hillcrest, finally found…read moreparking and a sign for the meter, but NO METER! Oh wait....it was HIDDEN BEHIND large bush! As a result, I got an undeserved citation that your useless Transportation has yet to send an adjustment for for, either to myself or the DMV, despite my payment three months ago of that unfair citation. I've contacted Transportation/Parking Services over a week ago, and they STILL haven't sent me the form to get the wretched fee off my DMV registration. I will NEVER go back to that wretched facility ever again. Horrible, horrible facility.

I was a patient visitor here and was impressed with the new modern look and cleanliness of the…read morefacility. Their cafeteria looked so clean and filled with yummy fresh foods. The care of the patient I was visiting seemed friendly and caring, tending to her pain level needs sensitively. She did have one nurse that she thought was insensitive to her needs and talked to her in a condescending tone. The last straw was when she was made to feel like it her fault that she fell (patient is a fall risk), so she ended up requesting a new nurse and all was great after that.

The facilities themselves were lovely! The rooms were great - floor to ceiling windows, nice rooms,…read moreclean etc. That's about where the positive reviews end. The amount of miscommunication we experienced during our stay was outstanding. I came into the hospital 2 days early to have my care coordinated due to a high risk pregnancy and we didn't see any specialists during that time despite asking/reminding nurses and doctors . We didn't speak with anyone about the delivery "game plan" until the morning of so it felt like my extra two day stay was completely unnecessary. Additionally, I experienced a post delivery emergency and was sent down to get an MRI and CT without a gown and with medical patches on and that seemed to greatly irritate the MRI tech. Whenever I had a question I was directed to a specialist (obgyn, neurologist, anesthesiologist, etc.) that would then direct me back to the person I originally asked the question to. And my final complaint is that all the lactation consultants gave me conflicting information. Overall my stay felt sloppy and uncoordinated. I didn't feel very confident about the care received and the billing that followed was equally as disorganized. In comparison to an earlier stay I had a sharp memorial, the experience was night and day. I would avoid UCSD if at all possible moving forward. Sharp care was very organized and much more professional.

I used to take this Blood Thinner for almost 3 years back in 2020 and I was fine I had no Problems with it. But as I got at an older age, I learned that everyone's body system breaks down as we age. Things do happen differently. This Emergency Room Doctor gave me a prescription of this Blood Thinner. It's not just this ER Doctor's fault because he didn't know my skin body system has changed and I am more sensitive to Allergies. Thus Emergency Room Doctor still treated me with respect and gave me quality care.

I had to visit SHARP MEMORIAL ER, for a few problems. I have to say that the staff of NURSES AND…read moreDOCTORS were top of their game. INDEED, they immediately took care of 2 of 3 of my Problems, which I had hoped for. ER DOC Buckley and Hospital Doc Doctor DAN ZHENG took very, very good care of me. When I was admitted to the hospital, Nurses SAM and YAEL, and Alyssa also were there and supportive. FOOD SERVICES provided great food from the start, Ravioli with Cheese. Breakfast was Eggs, Pancakes and Bacon. My NURSE, gave me a Diet COKE!!! I also have to say something about the OBSERVATION ROOM, very nice and roomy, AND DECORATIVE. PT Kelsey came to see me in my room and ordered a smaller, collapsible walker for my apartment. In the NEW ROOM on the NEXT DAY, they performed lots of different tests. FURTHERMORE, I was able to do some walking around the 5th Floor, with the help of Nurse Assistant ASHEWA. I would say that Nurse BRIAnA, could use some tips on bedside manners, THOUGH!!! On my Second or Third Night, NURSES Anna and Wilma were both back to help me, THANK GOODNESS!!! I especially want to thank Wilma, for her help with my Shower. UNFORTUNATELY, Nurse 'BRI' Brianna showed up the next day as well. I felt that did everything she could ( or actively worked against the needs of the patient/ME), to make my stay AS UNPLEASANT AND AS UNCOMFORTABLE, as possible. It just may be her NURSING NATURE, which is sad for her, and SHARP!!! I had a fantastic experience with my MRI, once getting there. I want to give a shout out to the whole team of GABRIEL, SEAN, and DOMINIQUE!!! I have a bad back and doing these things can be painful, but they provided a Triangular Wedge for my legs. In addition, they provided a pillow for my neck. I'm now 1 THING/treatment away from going HOME, but of course I'm in the hands of Nurse Bri. I can't say CHARGE NURSE HEATHER, has been a stand up Charge Nurse. On my last night, it was a whole new world with a whole new staff', including RN CONNOR, NAWIT AND CHARGE RN SHANNON. From how he treated my bloody nose or how he dispensed medication. THEN, during my shower, CONNOR changed the sheets on my bed for the first time. MY PINK HAIRED NURSE Rhiannon saw to it that my discharge went as flawless as possible, coordinating with my doctor and transportation!!! Thanks to ALMOST EVERYONE ON 6 NORTH!!!

We are very fortunate to live close to this hospital and even more pleased with the type of care…read moreand communication that was present today. From the minute we brought our friend in the ER wing for a severe migraine headache, to the last call to come and pick her up, the nurses and orderlies were most personable and efficient. The doctor on call (Dr. Wang) seemed confident that he could help our friend and after a series of questions and specific behaviors that he observed, he recommended a "infusion cocktail" that would take a few hours to perform. After a total of 4 hours, and lots of warm blankets, making sure our friend was comfortably lying down, and ice water (for me) we were able to pick her up and take her back home - headache free. My husband and I have taken family and friends to the ER for years and to my recollection, this was the fastest-in and fastest-out with success that we can remember. We also wanted to give a high-five to "Keisha" Logan and "Kaiwai" = It takes a great team to run a hospital!"
