    Imagine paying for a Netflix subscription where you think the movies are free to watch after making…read moreyour monthly subscription fee, but you later receive a bill for hundreds of dollars because one of the actors in the movie you watched was not licensed by Netflix. This is how it is dealing with Scripps and healthcare in 2026. Beware of Scripps Health! This is an elaborate money-making scheme where they assure you that you will not be billed for things and then perform services that aren't needed for insane prices. They then threaten to send you to collections because the services they provided (that no one asked for and they recommended) were not actually covered by your insurance. We took our three healthy children to the doctor for an annual wellness check. They were not sick, had no complaints and did not have any specific reason to go to the doctor other than a simple annual wellness check. We were not at the clinic for more than an hour but somehow Scripps racked up a bill of over $4,000 -- just for a simple wellness check!? Insurance only covered a small amount and now they're threatening to take us to a collection agency over these unwanted and unrequested "services" because they said the physician they assigned to us was "not in network." How are we supposed to know one physician at your office would be covered by our insurance but the other one you assigned to us is not? Before going to Scripps, we called in advance to ask our insurance company if Scripps did a free wellness check. They said "yes." We then called Scripps to ask if the wellness check would be covered by our insurance and we wouldn't have any additional charges at the visit -- they said "no additional charges." Then at the counter my wife asked one more time if we would be charged for any of the services and they said "we can't know every insurance policy and what is covered. If it's not covered, you'll get a bill." They didn't even check to see if the physician they assigned us was within our network. Fast forward a few weeks later and we're asked to pay over $1,850 for three healthy kids without any issues? Buyer beware!

    This review is for the PEDIATRICS department at the Scripps Coastal Oceanside Center…read more Look, I'll give credit where it's due--Dr. Randi Rupp and Dr. Benjamin Schleifer are decent doctors. But everything else about Scripps Oceanside Pediatrics is an absolute joke that has made me hunt for a new pediatrician. First, Dr. Rupp canceled our 9-month follow-up appointment just 15 minutes before it was supposed to happen. And guess what? No openings for TWO WEEKS after that, pushing the visit nearly to 10 months. We were forced to see another doctor the very next day, which we didn't want. We wanted continuity with our doctor. This kind of last-minute cancellation is completely unacceptable and disrespectful to patients' time. Then, after rescheduling, I get a reminder call an hour and a half later that makes no sense and only adds to frustration. At every single check-in--despite me handing my insurance card in every visit--I'm asked again for it. Seriously? How hard is it to scan a card ONCE and have it saved? Their inability to do this is absurd. And they still manage to bill my insurance without apparently having my card on file. That is contradictory and screams of broken administrative processes. Get it together! The medical assistant took multiple, wildly inconsistent height measurements like my baby magically grows an inch every few minutes. After the doctor himself was unsure of the numbers, I had to ask for a second person to measure because the first MA clearly wasn't trained properly. This kind of basic incompetence is ridiculous. Then came the blood sticks. The initial point-of-care iron test showed shockingly low results that made no sense given her health. The doctor himself was confused. Thankfully, I forced a retest to avoid unnecessary blood draws on my apparently 'perfectly healthy child,' but this whole ordeal shattered my trust. How many other families have gone through this? Do they even know? The second MA said that the first MA drew blood incorrectly. I found out later from the Office Manager that the machine itself was faulty. Great. Does this disqualify everybody's iron levels? How long has this been going on? The entire appointment dragged on for 1.5 hours--an eternity for a routine checkup. I followed up for two weeks as the doctor said he would have someone from the leadership team call me. Nobody did for two weeks. I had to follow up again and finally Office Manager Vanessa Z. called. When I confronted Office Manager Vanessa Z., she deflected blame, clung to "standard procedure," and showed ***zero accountability***. She tried to defend their broken system, refused to admit their staff's failures, and even got offended that I criticized her poorly trained, unaccountable, plainly incompetent (read: STUPID) team. Her attitude was dismissive and infuriating. DO YOUR JOB. Vanessa also had the audacity to blame the doctor for not ordering the repeat iron test instead of fixing the system that forced me to advocate for my child's care. This reeks of gross negligence or, worse, a billing scheme. I shouldn't have to be my child's doctor in their office! The staff here are untrained, the administration is a mess, and the overall mediocrity is mind-blowing. I will NOT recommend Scripps Oceanside Pediatrics to any parent who actually wants competent, respectful care. Scripps needs to take these issues seriously and fix their operational nightmare. What I experienced is a glaring systemic failure that is nothing short of unacceptable.

    I will say I agree with the two positive reviews posted a few years back. As one said, he is…read moreawesome! He is professionally way above the norm, worthy of high praise both as a skilled and knowledgeable doctor and as a kind and caring person. Having said that, the only thing I think I could add to the reviews is that I have never had to wait to see him. He does not seem to over schedule as many doctors do. I recommend him highly. He has a website with a video that is worth checking out. It gives you a feel for his approach to his profession. https://www.youtube.com/watch?reload=9&v=BFKBq6bgcrg

    Dr. Whitney is AWESOME! He's so incredibly attentive to everything I needed. Seriously, It's been…read morea few years since I've been to the doctor, and I definitely was a little nervous going in. I probably am THAT patient that some doctors get irritated with, because I went in with a list of items that we needed to chat about or get referrals for. And as we talked, he made a mental note of each one. He fully addressed each and every thing I wanted to discuss and then moved onto the next. For me, this appointment crossed a TON off my to-do list as it was so productive. I think we can all agree that we've walked out of a doctor's office and said "oh shoot, he didn't tell me about ____". With Dr. Whitney, you'll never have to worry about that. After the fact, Dr. Whitney personally followed up with me, and advised me he'd submitted my referrals and I should be hearing back soon. I've never had such personable attention from any Doctor's office let alone one Doctor specifically!

    Dr Derek is the most informing, thoughtful, responsible doctor. I kinda love that he's real and…read morereally THINKS through what the solutions COULD be. he's helped me solve massive gastrointestinal issues, (full gut reset) hormonal issues, mood issues. He's been there in the ways I WANT a provider to show up: tools in hand, extensive knowledge, and listening for what I want in the process. I recommend him HIGHLY. There's usually a long wait to get a new appointment - and I say - WAIT if you can.

    Dr. Lawrence is awesome. From my very first contact right through today's appointment the doc get…read moreit! He listens, he asks questions he answers questions. I have never felt like he didn't respond, wasn't thorough or hadn't covered everything he and I intended for a given appointment. After scores of Doctors in LA, multiple surgeries and no end in sight to my dilemma, Dr. Lawrence didn't get all full of his own ego and promise the world; rather he said he hoped to be able to resolve my pain and promised he'd make me healthier. And that is the key, it is about health not sickness. It is about t-h-r-i-v-i-n-g, not just getting by. I write with certainty that I would not feel as good as I do as I write this, had I not joined the Revive practice. I recommend you do what you have to do and go through all the specialists your own doctors send you to, but when you are fed up with being treated because you are sick, go get healthy with Dr. Lawrence. Health is a great starting point!
