That's really all I can say about San Diego Medical Services without frothing at the mouth. My bike accident was in February '13. When I received the bill a month after service in March '13 - nearly $2000 for about a half mile - I called them and provided all my insurance info - Anthem Blue Cross. In July of '13, I received a notification from Blue Shield that my claim was not being covered because I wasn't a member at the time. Uh, no shit. I immediately called SDMS - in July '13 - to notify them that the insurance info had been sent to the wrong provider. They told me "No, we sent it to the correct insurer, Blue Shield." After several attempts to explain that I was in fact covered by Anthem Blue Cross, this is literally the response I got: "Oh, we DEFINITELY sent the bill to Blue Shield AND Anthem Blue Cross." Wow. I immediately called Anthem Blue Cross, who confirmed that no bill had been submitted. The rep there called SDMS and learned that, in addition to the provider being listed incorrectly, all of my membership info was mistyped. He assured me he'd fix it. By the end of July '13, I thought things were getting resolved. In December '13, I received a collections notice from SDMS. My bill still hadn't been paid, I was going to be referred to a collection agency, etc. Yet no claim had been processed by Anthem Blue Cross. They insisted that they had still not received a bill. I called SDMS and had them read me all the details in their records. Sure enough, the mistyped information from July '13 had never been fixed - they were repeatedly sending the bill with entirely inaccurate information, all the while threatening me. Further, SDMS insisted that, while they would suspend collections activity, they couldn't send me confirmation in writing or tell me for how long. Because at this point I had no reason to trust them, I called back a week later. My insurance information was still listed incorrectly. I spoke to a manager, who assured me it would be changed. I asked him to send me confirmation in writing; he insisted that couldn't be done. Finally, in January '14, an insurance rep asked me to just send the copy of my collections notice to her so that she could do all the processing on their end. It's obviously my fault for not thinking of that sooner, but I also wish it hadn't taken 11 months for the insurance agents to suggest it when clearly SDMS wasn't going to get their shit together. As of February '14, one calendar year and ten days after my accident, the claim has been processed. In that span, SDMS: - inaccurately recorded my insurance information - billed the wrong insurance provider and lied about it - billed the correct insurance provider but with incorrect information such that the claim couldn't be processed - thrice lied to me about updating my insurance information - threatened to send my account into collections - refused to send me written confirmation about changes to my account or the suspension of collections activity SDMS is an absolutely disgusting, parasitic company that preys on people in their weakest and most desperate moments. I know that a bad Yelp review won't do anything to change that, but I really felt the need to put this out into the universe.

They are out of contract with many health insurance companies and hospitals, so your insurance will not cover their services.

La Jolla Cove is San Diego's most famous beach, where you can see a vast number of seals and sea…read morelions. You can hear constant barking sounds at La Jolla Cove, and the source of this noise is the California sea lion. To distinguish between a seal and a sea lion, look at the ears: seals have only ear holes, whereas sea lions have visible, protruding ears. You will find far more seals and sea lions on land than swimming in the water, as they need to spend at least seven to eight hours a day out of the water to rest and regulate their body temperature. What makes La Jolla Cove special is that humans and animals share the beach; people, seals, and sea lions all swim in the same waters. Wildflowers bloom around the beach, and the area is home to a variety of wildlife, including cormorants and seagulls, alongside the seals and sea lions.

This was such a cool place to stop. You're able to be close with the sea lions and seals and get a…read moregreat view of the wildlife. It's a bit crowded with people, but with it being a free stop with no charge for parking and plentiful with animals it makes it all worth it. We've made the drive down from Oregon and stopped at sea lion caves, where we were charged to view them, and this out did those stops by far. Highly recommend. An added bonus is the birds flying by so close, it almost makes you feel like you're in a Jurassic Park filming.

This business is actively abusing public resources and violating San Diego law. All County Fire…read moreregularly parks 3-4 commercial vans overnight on Iowa Street, despite having a private driveway and multiple garage spaces on-site. This is a clear violation of San Diego Municipal Code §86.0139, which prohibits overnight parking of commercial vehicles in residential zones between 2-6 AM. They're also likely violating §86.27, which limits public street parking to 72 hours. Their behavior is selfish and inconsiderate. Residents of Iowa Street--many of whom live in apartments with no private parking--are forced to walk several blocks late at night while these men leave their company vans along the curb like it's their personal lot. It's not only illegal, it's dangerous. I strongly encourage every impacted resident to file a report with San Diego Parking Enforcement through the "Get It Done" app or by calling (619) 531-2000. You can cite these violations and attach photos of their vans. This is not a one-time issue. It's daily, ongoing, and reflects poorly on any business that claims to serve the public. If you care about safe, accessible neighborhoods, speak up. These men clearly won't do the right thing on their own.

Overall, a really walkable area! Walking in, it's clear that their sandwiches are a crowd favorite from all the awards on the walls. Dubbed as "La Jolla's Most Popular," I went with their California Turkey & Cheese. It features a long list of things: California Swiss + SoCal Turkey + Granny Smith Apple + Cucumber + Micro & Mixed Greens + Local Mustard + Smoked Padron Jam + Mayo. I absolutely adore when sandwiches have a splash of fruit or jam in them. It's so underrated! I brought it to the water to enjoy and it made for the perfect beach sandwich. Light, flavorful, and filling- I was the envy of every seagull with this beaut haha. I will be returning to try their long menu of what sounds like incredible combos all around!

Since we were parked we decided to check out the cheese shop, the owner kindly came running out to warn us about the strict ticketing for parking in the 15 minute parking spot we were parked in right out front. We've visited this cheese shop several times now and enjoyed the specialty sandwiches they make. Our favorite, the SG Cheese Melt - made with a cheese mix, specially mustard, jam, red onion and thinly sliced apples, this is our favorite sandwich. I love a good ham and cheese, you must order it with the Nugget ham, so don't forget to add the ham! We also tried the California Wagyu bresaola, a cold sandwich, but can be made hot if you like. It was also very good, but we just keep coming back to the SG hot melt! Key things to know! - Limited parking! There is only street parking and a 15 min only spot directly in front of the shop. So it may be difficult to park on the weekends. - They are not open on Sundays or Mondays. - If you're looking for a sandwich their kitchen doesn't make sandwiches until after 11 am, the staff making the sandwiches are not there yet and they may run out of ingredients to make certain sandwiches. So don't expect to try to get one near closing time at 5 pm. A complete bummer since we tried a couple times and failed to pick up a sandwich. I love a good, easy to eat, not overwhelming sandwich, so this place makes my list of fav sandwiches! Owner is super friendly. The sandwiches are specialty and absolute delish! We don't live in the area and it's definitely worth the drive (if you can get a sandwich)! If you're in the area, definitely worth the stop in as they also offer drinks and premade and made to order cheese plates if you're heading to beach! 2026: 36
