    I came in for my first consultation here to see Dr.Patel. And let me tell you I was literally…read moresh**ing my pants before coming in. But the great patient care starts from the front desk to the nurse to the doctor. I mean just excellent service and Patient care. Jade the nurse was so kind to me. I mean someone like that can help so many people just calm their nerves. She really helped me breathe and made me feel comfortable. She also gave me great insight on who my Doctor was going to be and she was not wrong. He is just as amazing as she explained it to me. I highly recommend coming here.

    I absolutely feel so heartbroken for my father. I just received a phone call from Paloma, I suppose…read moreshe works on the admin end & she was beyond condescending to the point that I had to explain the reason she is even calling me & not my father is because I have to be his advocate. I asked for accommodation given that my father is a senior & disabled & she said it was him who has to work around what they have. She offered me an appointment in La Jolla even though my dad resides in the southbay. She said once you pick La Jolla the patient HAS to keep receiving care at this location. I then said it sounds like my father has very limited options & she replied with we have 150 drs here. Great so 150 drs that can't accommodate a disabled senior, great job SD. Not even gonna explain the rest so gross. So much for patient care. Sad for real so sad we are here. But thank goodness I will stand up for my father. I liked previous reviews & sadly may have to go to google as well. Thanks Paloma I hope your father doesn't get this treatment.

    Whatever you do, STAY AWAY FROM THIAS DOCTOR! He made my elderly father believe he had to provide…read morehis own medication by going to Tijuana to get an injectable medication (procrit) and paying aver $500 for it. My dad would send people across the border to get it, with cash on hand, and then bring it in for the doctor's staff to inject. THEN, the doctor would keep the "vial" and resuse it for other patients!!! My dad was a humble man; a pastor; a kind man. When my sister and i stepped in to be caregfivers, this doctor FIRED my dad (after seeing him for about 40 years) because he did not like my sister and me. And all we were doing was trying to get answers. Turns out after only one phone call I made to my dad's pharmacy, they were able to get this medication for $15!!! Still, when my dad brought it in, his staff injected it into his ARMPIT and created a horrible reaction on my dad's entire arm. THEN this doctor diagnosed it as "arthritis". These were the problems he didn't like about us. My sister and I asking him WHY?? Dr. Fernandez also fired our mother. We quickly found better care for them and my dad passed but had the best of care through Scripps doctors and a service called PACE San Ysidro. My mother died of liver cancer and also had the best doctor in the county via Scripps. I did file a formal complaint with the federal courts and state to have his license removed. I provided the documents he falsified, and there was a long investigation conducted. However, due to "lack of sufficient evidence", the license was not removed, But, Try to call his number shown on any medical report or receipt. It is invalid. He is awful. He does nothing but take patients' medicare payments. STAY AWAY!!!!

    Horrible Medical Assistant your forced to endure here thinks she's a highly educated medical…read moreprofessional. Laughable!! She didn't know how to take a blood pressure correctly. And the insults never ended from both actors. They just swapped places and the show moved on. Tragically Dr. Rodrigo is ARROGANT and that is REPULSIVE to everyone. He went on and on about himself as I sat and watched the stage show. It was nothing but a show. The MA and Dr. are puffed up with pride and have no one to (try to) impress but patients. Unless your a fan of false flattery what will you say to strike their ego? This patient will never trust him after he lied to me. If you see him once you too won't be back. He's the only Nephrologist with zero wait, you can see him the next day...for your own show. Don't forget to come back to Yelp and leave a tip for the next unlucky person that wonders in here.

    Our family is incredibly grateful to the entire team at Sharp Chula Vista Medical Center. My…read moremother-in-law was transported by ambulance from Guerrero Negro, Baja California, during a medical emergency, and from the moment she arrived, she received outstanding care. The doctors and staff acted quickly, performing an emergency procedure to place three stents, and took amazing care of her until she was transferred to Kaiser. Everyone was compassionate, professional, and kept our family informed every step of the way. Thank you for your kindness, expertise, and exceptional care during one of the most difficult times for our family. We truly appreciate everything you did. Highly recommend!

    I walked in with my dad last Sunday to take him to the emergency room, he had slurred speech (not…read moreunderstandable at ALL) and fell down, when he got up his speech was slow but not slurred but he felt like his tongue was moving slowly and felt bad, dizzy, and weird, he started walking and it was very slow and crooked. We headed over to the ER, and the man who checked us in was SO RUDE and he was questioning us because my dad was "speaking normal" even when I explained everything that happened. He kept insisting that he looked normal, and was looking at me and my dad like we were full of crap and lying, I got very irritated with this man. They immediately took my dad in and the man followed the nurse to tell her that my dad seems fine (basically telling the nurse we were lying) and the nurse then told him my dads vitals and he just said "oh" and left. He was wrong, rude, and inserting himself in situations that he has no business inserting himself in. My dad was in fact having a stroke and was hospitalized for days and is now in a rehabilitation center for a month with recovery that will take longer, he could have died if we waited any longer, and this man could have made them doubt and make my dad wait longer.He was bald with glasses. Seriously would hate to see him again. I will be making a complaint and seek further action. Ps. The other staff, nurses, doctors, cnas were just WONDERFUL! however this man honestly needs to be removed from his job
