Unfortunately, Dr. Schlitt retired. He was a wonderful, caring doctor with years of experience. Dr. Schlitt did not take short cuts, did not rush through exams and he listened. He was compassionate. Miss you, Dr. Schlitt. read more

Dr. Schlitt has been my primary doctor for almost 20 years. His positive attitude and bedside manner compliment his exceptional skills to diagnose and treat his patients. He is honest and direct and never fails to find a sound solution to treat the problem. Very compassionate about his patients. I never feel like he doesn't have time to answer my questions. Anytime I have a question or feel the need for an office visit, Dr. Schlitt and his staff are always available. Waiting time in the lobby is minimal (always less than 5 minutes). The new fingerprint scan check-in kiosk makes the arrival process so easy. His staff is amazing and it is obvious they really enjoying working with Dr. Schlitt. I am always greeted with a smile and the office just seems like a pleasant place to visit. The waiting room and exam rooms are clean and spotless and the facility appears to have all modern equipment. After every visit to Dr. Schlitt's office, I walk away feeling I received the best possible care. Dr. Schlitt is simply the best!!! Highly recommend!!! read more

Wish I could give 0 stars. Two MAJOR problems.. I saw Dr. Schlitt told him I was dehydrated, dizzy, body hurting, LOST 27 pounds in two weeks... He sent me to do blood work and then home without any fluids instead of listening to me when I told him I needed an iv fluids. That night of my dr visit I was at the ER being transferred from to Scripps Lajolla for my Kidneys were shutting down. My hole body was severally dehydrated. Spent 2 days in the hospital. I visited dr schlitt told him I was in pain from a migraine that lasted 4 days. He said he called in a prescription for me "preventive migraine medicine" so I could take next onset of a migraine. 6 weeks later migraine came... Called pharmacy they state No migraine Medicine from Dr. Schlitt has ever been called in. I paged Dr. Schlitt he Did return my phone call. He Rudely told me he was in Palm Springs and couldn't do anything until he was back in his office on Monday. This is totally uncaring. Any physician can call in medicine for patients I know this for I myself practiced medicine. I will never waste my time nor money on Dr. Schlitt ever again. Stay away. read more

I think Dr. Schlitt really knows what he is talking about. I have been with his practice since I moved to San Diego. I only will go to the BEST Doctors for my family and myself. We all want to live to 100 right??? I have never encountered what the other person is speaking of in the review. Actually finding a great doctor is very hard. I think it is great that a doctor actually cares about their patients. From my experience: 1. Doctor Schlitt is extremely educated and knowledgeable. How do I know? Well all of his explanations as to why you should or should not do something to your body are spot on. He will not beat around the bush. If he suspects something and it should have lab work then it should have lab work. Who wants to have a condition overlooked when it could be detected? Isn't that why we go to the doctor to be healthy and live healthy lives? The only lab work I had besides my physical was for a strep throat test and yes I HAD STREP throat from volunteering at my sons school. If you have a question about medication he has the answers as to what it does to your body, how your body absorbs the medication and what you can do to help yourself with your condition. 2. Dr. Schlitt has equipment and a lab at his disposal if you need to find out results quickly. Who wants to waste gas and time going to another place for lab work? I personally think that this family practice is very well thought out. 3. Staff and nurses are all caring and concerned about your health. Even when you are sick and have children with you they help you out. My daughter is 1 and she made many friends there. 4. The lady that checks you out when you are finished with your appointment is hilarious. I always leave the office smiling about what she says. 5. Very clean environment and beautiful lobby! I have businesses, children and a crazy life. I would not waste my time at a bad doctors office. This place is great:) read more

These other reviews are a mystery to me. My family and many of my employees have used Dr Schlitt for over 30 years. I have never had any of the "complaints" that have been posted here. He always takes as much time as needed, explains things in detail. He is very concerned with your health. I can't count the times he's followed up with post visit calls to see how my wife was doing. I've recommended many people to Dr Schlitt and have had no negative feed back. He also has several associates in his office that specialize in other areas. He doesn't hesitate to refer you to a specialist, and as a part of the Scripps Family has access to any specialist you need. read more

He couldn't diagnose a severed (totally torn in half) ACL and made we wait a whole year before allowing me to see a specialist. Fortuately, the ACL was replaced and I'm okay. But, for this mistake, I cannot recommend Dr. Schlitt. read more

Dr. Schmitt has been my primary doctor for a decade. He and his staff are effective, efficient and professional. They take the time to ensure you are well taken care of and are educated on all the areas relative to your encounter. I would highly recommend Dr.Schlitt to anyone at anytime. A truly amazing practice!!! read more

Visited Dr. Schlitt for a preventative visit paid for by my insurance company. At the initial visit he was friendly, suspiciously friendly. I almost felt like I was subjected to a sales pitch, recommending all kinds of tests. A few weeks later I receive a bill. As it turns out his office didn't code my visit as preventative. His office refused the change the billing code and my insurance company refused to pay. A year later, at my next annual preventative visit, I told him what happened. Dr. Schlitt basically told me it was my fault for choosing this health insurance plan. I asked him how he would feel if he goes to his car dealer and orders an oil change, but gets billed for a tune up? He got my point, but said that our relationship had been compromised and he can't see me anymore. Good news, he didn't bill me for the second visit (at least not yet). read more

Dr. Schlitt has been my physician for over 25 years. I prefer him over other physicians. He is very thorough, ask questions and listens to the patient (me). What I really like about him is his bedside manner and gentleness. He sometimes tells me what I don't want to hear but in almost every case he is spot on. I have sent him many referrals and they all have appreciated the referral and speak highly of his thoroughness and treatment. He manages a tight office and in all the years I have been seeing him, I cannot recall waiting for a long period to see the doctor. I am in the medical business and am amazed on how current Dr. Schlitt's knowledge is in the medical profession. I recommend to anyone to visit Dr. Schlitt and use his services. read more

I had a meeting with Dr. Schlitt and liked his manners and attention. I would recommend him

I haven't seen him for a while, but he was always friendly and communicative. Not often you find a doctor who seems to really listen and care. But Dr Schlitt has those attributes. read more

Larry is a great physician. My wife and I went to him for 10 years before we moved away from San Diego to Los Angeles. We haven't been able to find someone as accessable, smart and thorough. What I like is that he is current with the latest information despite the fact that he is long out of school, and has a common sense approach to testing and treatment he prescribes. In fact, I just decided to drive 100 miles to have a physical with him next month. read more

Intelligent, caring and compassionate. My ex, a pharmaceutical rep for 29 years, says that he is one of the best informed MDs in the area.

I've seen Dr. Schlitt off an on for several years. He has always been very friendly and takes time to explain my condition and the treatment. My wife saw him when two other doctors and a hospital could not figure out what was wrong with her and he had the issue nailed in one visit. Also the nurses at his office seem to know what they are doing and are thorough in explaining thing when a lot of offices offer a good doctor, but junior nursing staff. I never wait more than 10 minutes when I go for an appointment. He always has been top notch for me and my family. read more

Dr. Schlitt is the BEST!!! I found him through a recommendation and was so lucky to have found him. He is absolutely the GREATEST!!! He is always helpful and continues to keep me healthy. He is most knowledgeable about everything. I get advice from him for everything. Whenever I need to see him, he immediately gets me in. I feel very special to have him as my doctor. He has always made me feel apart of the family and made sure my health was his number one priority. That is AMAZING because he has so many patients! I definitely would recommend him to everyone. He is the BEST!!! Thank you Dr. Schlitt for taking care of me and making my experience absolutely wonderful and making me feel apart of a family. Jason read more

I just had my annual physical with Dr. Schlitt. I was in and out with labs in less than an hour. He answered all of my questions and was very friendly. Even though their computers were down, he had a great attitude and still gave me a quality healthcare visit. Nobody should care more about YOUR healthcare than YOU...and Dr. Schlitt is the perfect healthcare partner! read more

I have been with Dr. Schlitt for over 14 years. I highly recommend him! Excellent health care services and recommendations at my annual check-ups for a healthy life style that allow me to stay active and enjoy my time participating in activities with my kids. read more

I chose him a while ago because I worked on the same block as his office. The issue about this doctor is that he overprescribes unnecessary lab tests for increasing his retirement fund (he owns the lab located inside the office). For routine checks on the liver function for the medication I was taking, he would double the lab schedules for no valid reason. I have a medical background so I know there was something odd about his practice. Sure enough, after I mentioned it with my colleague who had him as her doctor as well, we both agreed that he was not the type of doctor one should go to unless he/she doesn't mind spending the unwarranted lab money and getting poked by endless needles. read more

I would give Dr Schlitt 0 stars if I could. He is very arrogant, and did not listen to me, the patient. I came in for a condition that I have chronically in the Winter for which I have been sucessfully treated with the Zpac. I usually see Dr Benke at this office (an amazing Doctor) but she was not on there that day. Dr Schlitt refused to give me the Zpac (mentionning how the Zpac is not treating sinusitis/bronchitis which is not true, according to other doctors, and the pharmacist and literature), and prescribed me to an antibiotica I have never taken before. This despite me mentionning several times that I prefer to take the ZPac as I have taken it before for the same condition. The Zpac is easier to take as it is only a 5 days treatment. The Sulfa antibiotica Dr Schlitt prescribed is a 10 day treatment, and since I have never taken it before, I don't know if I would develop an allergic reaction to it. Then Dr Schlitt made we wait for an hour for the written prescription of this medicine. STAY AWAY from this doctor, and instead see Dr Benke or Dr Julia at this office - they are real doctors, listening and making decisions TOGETHER with the patient. Due to this, I had to spend a lot of time waiting and spending another $20 to see another doctor at Urgent Care. Thankfully the Urgent Care doctor agreed with me that it is wiser to give me an antibiotica (the ZPac) that I was previously prescribed for the same condition (Upper respitory infection - Sinusitis/Bronchitis) and that we know has helped me before, and has not caused me any allergic reactions. read more

I recently changed family practice doctors, and selected Dr. Schlitt -- notwithstanding my concern about his "barbell" ratings (1's or 5's -- no middle ground). I have meet with him twice already. He assessed my situation and promptly set up some needed referrals for specialists, and scheduled me with a follow up with him. I have found him to be extremely professional, knowledgeable, straightforward and personable. He's also been very responsive when I've had questions via email. Albeit my interactions are limited, he has quickly earned my confidence. read more

I have found Dr. Schlitt an awesome physician for my parents. I'm extremely glad he orders tests as needed, rather than taking the "wait and see" approach of some physicians. I harangued my parents to switch from their prior doctor, and was so glad they landed with a good one. read more

Worst doctor ever! Does not care about the patients time. Wait times are excessive!! I have walked out of his office because of this. He may be a doctor, but it's still a business. Awful doctor, awful staff, overall awful experience! read more
