My son was referred last week by his pediatrician to see the podiatrist. Within about 20 minutes…read moreof leaving his appointment the podiatrist office called me to schedule his appointment. 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!

He graduated from UCSD Medical School in 1997; he did his internship and residency at Baylor College of Medicine; and he was a Fellow in Rheumatology at the Mayo School of Graduate Medical Education. Dr. Mayer has practiced medicine for 17 years; his treatment areas include: * Inflammatory Myopathy * Lupus * Osteoporosis * Psoriatic and Rheumatoid Arthritis * Scleroderma * Vasculitis About my experience with Dr. Mayer: As his patient of several years, I have found the Doctor to be pleasant and genial, and if I didn't know Dr. Mayer professionally, I'd hope to meet him socially; his good humor and broad-ranging interests combine in an engaging personality. That being said, Dr. Mayer, an accomplished rheumatologist with a consultative approach to the practice of his specialty, treats my arthritic knees with cortisone and hyaluronan injections. The condition is degenerative and will not improve over time, and the treatment is intended to relieve pain, which it has done to a reasonable extent. In addition to providing injections, Dr. Mayer has helped me understand measures I can take to slow the loss of bone and to prepare for knee replacement, which is indicated in my case. He is supportive of my weight loss regime, and has recommended exercises and therapies I can use to stay ahead of my condition. Five stars for Doctor Mayer, and for Sharp HealthCare, for offering another sterling practitioner through its network.

Later, I discovered I had a colonized infection in my urinary tract. I travelled to the urologist that had discovered the infection for 10 days to receive injections but it was not cured. My insurance company sent me to Dr. Haddad. Nice office, nice Dr., and over 45 miles from me. Here's my gripe. He ordered a test from Labcorp to check the level of colonization. After he received the results, he ordered an antibiotic which I took. Then he wanted to have a teleconference before he even ordered another test to see if the antibiotic had worked. Why would he do that? What would be gained other than him billing my insurance for the teleconference. I canceled the teleconference and explained my position about a wasted billing and his office just blew me off with a phone message. I have no idea if I still have the pseudomonas because, I never had any symptoms and he knew that going in. I went because my primary Dr. said it wasn't great to have it in my system.

I'm going to write a short book here, because it seems to be the only way to communicate how much I appreciate Dr. Hanson, and why. Over the years, I had met with nearly a dozen orthopaedists, gotten relief from various injections, looked at all manner of edge-therapies, had three conservative surgeries on the knee, lived with the outcomes, and eventually was advised to go ahead and get the replacement. Along the way, I observed the bedside manner of all of these doctors, noting that joint-replacement specialists, like many specialists, are, perhaps because of their training and lofty intellect, not as interested in patient communication as are most GP's. Some of them, I think, interact best with patients who are... unconscious. After doing a good deal of asking around, I was lucky to be referred to Dr. Peter Hanson at Grossmont Orthopaedic. His credentials were unbeatable, and his ratings on Yelp and elsewhere were remarkable. So, I timed my appointment with him to also satisfy my desire for a second opinion. My experience with Dr. Hanson at that appointment was so excellent that, although he truly intended only to offer a second opinion, I was nearly ready to ask him to perform the procedure himself. For a leading medical specialist, Dr. Hanson is astonishingly low-key and patient. Very approachable yes, but it's more than that. He's more like my trusted old friend taking care of me. Anyway, after yet another rushed, slightly contentious session with my other (busy, up-and-coming rockstar) specialist, I had had enough and scheduled my surgery instead with Dr. Hanson in January. On surgery day, he was a comfort both before and after the procedure. Now in my 6th week of recovery, I am delighted that I chose Dr. Hanson to perform my surgery. Although the recovery requires substantial effort, physical therapy, and some pain tolerance, my knee gets better each day. In closing, if you are lucky enough to get Peter Hanson as your joint replacement surgeon, you are in exceptionally fine hands. I cannot recommend him to you highly enough.

If I could give her a zero I would. She is this doctor that acts friendly. Spends no more than a…read morecouple minutes with you. Promises to stand by your side. Offers you her personal number. Dragged you into her drama. Then when you're in the hospital recovering from a surgery and you're telling her you're bleeding from your throat she keeps you on the phone talking about her dentist friend Jenn, who lost her children. And when you point out, the judge looks at crying is a point of weakness as well as emotional Distress. She suddenly does damage to your care. This woman has known for four months about my disability hearing. I have gone into our office and talked about the letter that was necessary. I've gone to my appointment with her and talked about the letter that was necessary. She told me about the letter, she was gonna write. And she's such a terrible doctor that she doesn't care about her patience. She was notified about the violence I was going through and as a mandated reporter she failed. Her license should be revoked and she should be suspended for further notice. All she had to do was her job. Write the letter seven conversations with her employees, and I had to get my walker go in there when I was having a down day for the exact thing she treats me for... She doesn't bother treating you. She doesn't do anything she's a failure. All she does is charge and charge again. Her office needs to be shut down. She's a terrible person. It's all about her. But then suddenly she's a victim. She failed on follow through. And then her office goes. Oh, but she's so busy and people that aren't nurses are being talked about to people in her office staff when she's the one who failed her patient. Don't go here. She's a drama queen. She is a terrible doctor. She will compromise your health without any concern. And she doesn't follow through. As I lie here and level 15 pain because of her fail care. This is a woman that shouldn't be a doctor. When I first started going to her, she was just as terrible, but she acted like she cared. But then there was that day after I had life or death surgery and was bleeding out of my lungs and out of my esophagus because they had to go in through there. She knew I just got out from my surgery. And a Doctor Who is being told that I was bleeding out of my throat And needed to get off the phone just kept talking. You should see the text messages about her personal life. Inappropriate for a doctor a patient should express their personal life to a doctor. And then when I spoke up for how honestly I need to be, what did she do? She nearly destroyed my case for Disability. Intentionally. This Dr deserves her license to be removed. She has known for four months about my date. She knows the level of pain I'm in. She knows how bad it is. But what does she do when you don't agree with her friend she will damage you. On purpose. She neglected to write the letter. Her staff had to go in and save her. And defend her if she's not capable of handling her clientele it's further proof don't go to this doctor. Who does that to their patient. This is a dangerous woman who shouldn't be around children or patient because if she decides she doesn't like you, she will destroy even though you're in level 15 pain. She's a terrible doctor cause she puts her own personal drama ahead of her patience. Thank God, I have a copy of it.

If I could give 0 stars I would. I will be filing a grievance through not only my insurance but…read morealso through department of health. Just like everyone else I waited months to get here. Months of agony, months of misery. Finally I get in was listened to for less than 5 minutes. Testing was ordered. I completed it all & had to wait another 2 months to see the nurse again. Mind you I was denied to see any doctor without a diagnosis & they left a nurse to diagnose such complex diseases/diagnoses. I've had consistent ANA positive labs, speckled pattern, my titer was low 1:40 but I had been placed on high dose of prednisone which I was on the time of my labs. Based off my research this can affect the value of the titer. With arthritis in both sides of my body at 28 years old, constantly feeling like I'm going to collapse, face rash, joint pain, etc. Bc my titer was low she told me she couldn't diagnose me with anything but arthritis which "presidone isn't used to treat" I've taken nursing classes and I'm not doctor but my own research showed me this can affect your labs and a reduction of 40-50% in your titer because it reduces disease activity which any licensed individual at a rheumatologist office should know! Not only that but it is used for arthritis either way even though I know it's autoimmune they won't dive deep it's still IS used for arthritis & again a licensed and educated nurse should know it is and it does affect your labs. As I was questioning her plan to say she cannot diagnose me based off a low titer that it's negative even though they were positive and been positive for over a year even on steroids. She told me she had to move onto the next patient which was less than 5 minutes she spent with me. Everytime I tried to advocate for myself she spoke over me which I couldn't understand which such thick of accent. I told her, if she was going to let me speak and listen to me because that is her job. She then escorted me out. I then asked to speak to who was in charge. The lady came stomping out in the front office. Was extremely rude. Everybody was very dismissive and not empathetic at all. She told me to find somewhere else. I told her all these people in this office are in misery and deserve some empathy and sympathy. You say this office is busy you know how long people have waited it's easy for you to say to go find another place and have to wait for approval this could take another 4-6 months of me being in misery and they DO NOT CARE. They roll their eyes. They do not care about their patients they will refuse to refill meds you've been on and which are DANGEROUS to just stop. They will not listen to your symptoms they will not take anything into consideration and you will not see a doctor unless the nurse decides you have a disease which are VERY complex to get a formal diagnosis for. Many rheumatologist have to go based off of symptoms and what the patient is telling them cuz simple labs are not enough evidence for a diagnosis. Any place that holds a license should know this. DO NOT COME HERE AND WASTE MONTHS OF WAITING TO GET NEGLECTED, DISMISSED, MISTREATED, WHEN YOU ARE SUFFERING. If you are given a referral here please ask them to send you elsewhere unless you want to leave in tears and be put out more months asking for another doctor/office. Please don't give them your money. I hope they shut this place down!!!!!!!!!! People with autoimmune , arthritis & inflammation deserve to be treated with an open ear, kindness, understanding & empathy.

In 2013 Dr, Conley had a X-ray done of my hip and told me I had arthritis. She should have referred me to an orthopedic doctor because I had bone on bone with the ball worn away, making one leg shorter and my pelvis tilted. I suffered more than five years of intense pain which prevented me from exercise and common activities. I finally asked Dr. Zhou by e-mail if I might need a hip replacement since my internet search indicated that might be my issue. He got back to me within two hours and had looked at that 2013 X-ray. He got me into orthopedics that afternoon. He got me the help I needed fast. I credit him for helping me get back to normal. He is a wonderful responsive doctor.
