Breakfast is…read moregreat, but the kitchen needs to figure out its gf options, (grilled salmon is not gf "because of the oil" but Kraft tartar sauce packets are? nope. Mashed potatoes are not gf? Dehydrated mashed potatoes belong on no one's menu ever, and lemon juice packets instead of a fresh wedged lemon? Wth? Is everything except breakfast pre-prepared packaged foods?) Rooms are private, TVs have endless options if you're into that, and the quality of rest, sleep and care are excellent. I sort of feel like I'm being pampered at a Four Seasons hotel. Thank you to my crew of caregivers!

On my last yearly check up, I wanted to set up an appointment and needed a prescription refill. I asked for a paper prescription, but was told the staff would send it in. Six calls later, they mailed me a prescription. I also wanted to schedule an appointment, but was told the office would contact me. As I was running out of prescription (one year later) I called for an appointment. After holding for 12 minutes, I was transferred to the appointment person, where, of course, the best I could do was leave a message asking for an appointment. (they will not renew a prescription without a check up). After 4 weeks, I called again, but instead of asking for an appointment, I asked for the prescription person. This person promised to send out a prescription before noon. Later that day, they called back and said I needed an appointment and would transfer me to the appointment person. After holding for awhile, I got an appointment, but apparently I am more medically qualified than the admin staff and explained that I need lab work prior to the appointment. I told the admin people where to send the lab request and I promised to get the lab work done the following day. They assured me that they would send in the labs request right away. As to no great surprise, the lab request was not sent in and I had to wait at the lab for the doctor's staff to send it in. When I arrived, there was no one at the front desk and eventually some one showed up. I get called up for my appointment, and had the pleasure of waiting in a cold exam room for 25 minutes to see the Dr.'s PA. Not great

His name is Robert Sanchez, a nurse with the Integrative Medicine Center. Robert was so kind, understood I was very nervous, and explained everything I would experience. His compassion was really sincere, and his knowledge made everything he said completely understandable to me, a layman. By the time Robert explained each and every detail, I was feeling more settled. He had a great presence that I found very comforting and helpful, and much appreciated. Robert has excellent teaching qualities, as well as his nursing abilities. He is excellent at his job, and is a definite credit to Scripps, and an absolute blessing to me. Well done, Robert, and heartfelt thanks for helping me thru the experience! I believe we are quick to complain, but not as quick to praise, and I didn't want to pass up this chance to say how much I appreciated Robert and all of his efforts. Thank you for the opportunity to give credit to someone I felt went 'over and above' in what he did for me. Scripps is definitely the BEST, and employees such as Robert, are what makes it the best! Thanks and blessings to all of you!
