I am so happy we found this place. We went to Scripps ER and the waiting room was tiny, packed with people and the people working there were disgrunteled and not helpful at all. After waiting for over an hour and seeing maybe two of the 20+ people waiting get admitted, we got in our car and drove from Hillcrest to Coronado. The drive is actually what took the longest. As soon as we got into the waiting room (we were the only people there), we were admitted right away. The drs and nurses were attentive and helpful. There was a crazy man in a room next door but he was harmless and gave us a good laugh. We were in and out and felt like we received the best care possible. I highly recommend this hospital/ER (if you have to go to one) and strongly suggest you do not visit Scripps Mercy on 5th. Thanks Sharp Coronado! read more

It's a good thing that I have only had to come here for blood tests. It's the perfect place for that! The longest I've ever had to wait is 10 minutes and they fawn over you in the chair in the hopes of getting good ratings for the hospital. And, this is the only place I can honestly say I'm happy with a little painless prick. (Oh, so bad!!!) read more

If you really need medical attention, dont go here. Dr. Bealy, RN's Bo and Tyler. They just dont care. You sit there and listen to the staff just laugh. I guess its just the pressure of Covid-19. My neice and nephew were born there when they had maternity ward. They have done wonderful things in the past, but now. They will shame and humiliate you for asking for help. read more

I had to have emergency surgery on my knee. I live in Santee but my Doctor Peter Hansen said he recommended Sharp Coronado for this surgery. I am so glad I did. The hospital is small but every one I encountered was amazing. My favorite nurses were TJ and Kai. I would ring and within one minute a nurse would be in my room. Everything was no problem. I was supposed to have out patient surgery but had to stay. And they gave me a toothbrush,paste and hairbrush. Lotion and chap stick. Doesn't sound like much but definitely makes your stay better. The food was quite nice . Would recommend this hospital to everyone. read more

Just wanted to write a review for the radiology dept cause they were simply amazing! We were referred to radiology from another clinic on the island and the check in was fast and efficient. The staff were very courteous and friendly but what blew my mind was the level of customer service that they provided. I was by myself with 3 young children and one of the dept staff actually came out and offered to watch the other 2 (5 and 2 year old) while I brought my 3 year old in for an x-ray! I was really touched by the gesture cause not many places would go the extra mile to help a mom out! read more

I was suffering from severe neurapathy in my right foot and for over 48 hours my MD prescribed opiates offered ZERO relief. I visited Sharp Coronado Integrative Program on the 3rd floor and had an acupuncture session with Victoria Risovanny. She took time to diagnose my situation and she proceeded to apply acupuncture where she determined my problem originated. The relief was almost immediate ! It is very hard to describe the pain that hounded me for 2 plus days and she eliminated it. It has been 16 days since my visit with Ms. Risovanny and there has been no recurrence of my "shocking" pain.I am visiting her for therapy on a timely basis. Definitely worth an appointment. read more

being a sharo employee was the worst expirence I ever had , especially for Glen , she bullies others does not care about her staff and only wants you to work like a dog , she threatens you with taking you to hr when you have expressed concern , I got fired because I told her I was being bullied by multiple individuals that were at a higher level than I , I came to hr for protection , and instead the same person that has bullied me came to then saying things that we not true , but instead of going through a proper investigation hr and Glen the manger not even my manger at the time retaliated , I asked them to speak to certain people that i work with closely that did not happen , I had told hr about these 3 individuals that I was being bullied by 2 months prior to being fired over nonsense , not to mention they all knew I was pregnant , I do not recommend working at sharp Coronado it is not a place to learn or go any further in your career you cant learn from people who haven't learned new things either misriable people who jus play games all day and retaliate read more

Im writing a review and also filing a complaint about the primary physician Camille Cowne. She was extremely rude and not personal. This is an emergency room which means you are going because you can NOT wait for a doctor during regular business hours, or you have been told by a doctor over the phone to go to your closest emergency room. I was told based on my symptoms to go to the nearest emergency room. Im a Kaiser patient but they informed me to just head to the closest emergency room because of my symptoms and on going issues. Regardless if I'm a sharp patient or not this is not how you handle anyone coming into a ER for immediate assistance and if you don't have the patience, a positive attitude or open ears to listen to your patient then you should find a different environment to work in. All other staff interactions where fine. Which is why this stands out. When physician Camille Cowne came in the room, she came with another staff member who was going to draw my blood. At this time she asked me to explain my symptoms while at the same time the other staff member prepared to draw my blood. This became very distracting in my thought process and overwhelming because its not that i get my blood drawn everyday, so needles aren't a walk in the park and they aren't for everyone but there was zero consideration for that. I was really under the weather and extremely weak. Trying to explain my symptoms while at the same time getting ready to be uncomfortably poked by a needle, is not a multitasking skill that i would expect any patient to have. Which is why I stopped talking mid sentence and the staff member drawing my blood told me i could keep talking. Which i responded that i couldn't because i was getting anxious. There were no words from the Physician Camille Cowne except a blank stare back at me. Once that was done i got few more words out and the physician Camille Cowne then asked me if i drink alcohol often and smoke marijuana often. I answered truthfully. She asked if i heard of this syndrome linked to people who have smoked marijuana for a while and have unexplained symptoms. Which i was aware of and its called Cannabinoid Hyperemesis but couldn't recall the name at the time and she didn't even know the name. This syndrome is not a go to solution solver for patients because there are of other areas that need to be check of before coming to a conclusion. After she shared her understanding of this syndrome she then categorized my symptoms being related to marijuana use and left the room with no other feedback or any other follow up questions regarding my symptoms at that time and said will look at the blood work. I cried shortly after because i felt EXTREMELY disregard, disrespected and categorized after answering her two questions. Drinking and smoking where the only two questions she asked me. Once things came back there was nothing she could do for me and said it could be from marijuana or your diet you'll have to see a specialist. Once again categorizing my symptoms to marijuana use. She gave zero helpful suggestions on test that i could talk to my doctors about. I went to a kaiser doctor today and have been to other doctors before and they have asked/informed me of test that i should possible do if i have not already to get more information. I definitely haven't been asked about alcohol or marijuana because there are other areas you need to check off before making a statement like that as I said earlier. But Camille Cowne seems to be an advocated for categorizing those that admit to smoking marijuana which is extremely disrespectful, and i only wonder what her next question would of been if i would of said no. I don't want anyone to experience her the way i did and feel that the symptoms you were sent to the ER for in the first place are not important because of her outlook and lack of consideration to ask proper questions related to my state at the time. read more

I don't run an emergency room, but if I did, and a 14 year old was brought in with severe vomiting, diarrhea and numbness in his extremities after being exposed to an insecticide, it would not take longer than an hour just to get him checked in... And the clock is still running. Not seen or examined, checked in. Not impressed folks. read more

I had to have outpatient surgery and was so delighted by every part of my experience with them. From registration all the way through recovery. I have never had such wonderful treatment. I was impressed at the level of customer service that was given at every step and truly feeling that each person cared that I had a good experience. I wasn't told the directions to where I needed to go after registration, I was escorted to the room. Immediately greeted by someone who explained what to do next. Even the woman who came in to do my vital signs was very thorough and friendly. Asking very politely before doing anything. I have very small veins and of course with surgery I was dehydrated from not eating or drinking. They were able to get my blood and place an IV on the first try. Both took their time, using the tools to aid them. And for me, that is amazing. I usually get poked several times for blood and haven't had an IV in 20 years. My doctor was late because of an emergency and they kept me informed the whole time. The nurses were all so welcoming. They made me comfortable and at ease. Also, the gown warmer, warm blankets and aromatherapy were amazing. I purchased the lavender oil she used before I left the hospital I loved it so much. Fortunately, my procedure went very smoothly and I was only in recovery for a short time. The recovery room staff were bright and cheerful. I have never seen a medical staff so genuinely happy. They all deserve recognition for their service. I'm a nurse and travel to different hospitals in my specialty. I run into a lot of hospital staff and I can honestly say from experience not everywhere you go do you find this type of treatment. I would be honored to work for a group of people like them. They are doing a fine job and I feel blessed that I landed in their care. read more

I needed assistance with a medical issue while in San Diego on business on 11-21-15 at 10:30 pm. I found this hospital emergency room and I am so glad I chose Sharp Coronado Hospital. The RN I met (sorry didn't remember his name) took suck good care of me and addressed my issue with such care and kindness. Just what I needed at the time. When I was done the receptionist called me a cab and explained that I needed a Coronado cab to get back to my hotel. Such nice people. Thank you folks. read more

I went to the ER 2 days ago. I decided to go here because I am currently visiting my daughter in Dan Diego from Austin Tx and did not want to spend hours in the waiting room waiting to be seen. I read a review that stated they were quick in getting you back and out in no time and too very pleasantand professional. I decided to give it a shot and went there without hesitation. That review stated right!!! I tell you what! I have been to ERs in NC, TX and AZ.. and this hospital has them beat in professionalism, efficiency and working with time and not against it. I got there, had just sat down, was called to give my ID, was told a nurse would be waiting for me by door, got info, wt, gown, bed, vitals, lab tech, doctor and OUT in no time!!!! I was not rushed but listened, cared for with compassion and a bunch of true hearts that genuinely care about me as a person and patient. I felt so happy I chose to visit them. I am still in awe of them and their dedicated service to the public! It does not stop there! Today I got a follow up call from one of the nurses checking up on me. I am truly grateful and so blessed to have been treated at Sharp Coronado Hospital! God bless each and everyone of you and if I ever win the Lottery...best believe I won't forget y'all!. read more

This was my worst experience there ever. I go in to have my toenail removed. Mind you they had done this twice to me already, with out any insurance. Today I go in and they tell me it isn't an emergency and I have to go somewhere else. I call around and no one takes my insurance because it's not cover in California. So now this is an emergency causing me to not work. So thank you sharp for not helping me in anyway. If I was uninsured I bet it would have been done. This hospital has always been horrible to people who don't/can't afford to have good insurance. read more

Came into ER for re-injury of neck. Nursing staff was friendly/helpful. Dr. Vasiliki saw me and breezed through my interview/history and did not take any time to answer questions or get full history. Experience wasn't terrible, but would certainly not seek this place out not recommend to others for future medical treatment. read more

Felt horrible late Sunday night. Finally, at about midnight, went to the ER. Thought it was some severe indigestion or something. In no time I was seen, evaluated, had lab work done, x rays and an MRI. Thought I'd get some type of medication and sent on my way. But no. I was told I'd be admitted because I had to have my gallbladder removed. The pain was so severe I could barely keep conscious. They were good about pain medication and making sure, every step of the way, I was aware of what was going on and why. Had surgery, and hospital stay and every person was amazingly pleasant and adamant about hand washing and making sure I was taken care of. Great hospital, great doctors, great nurses and great support staff. Truly can't say how happy I am that they were able to turn a horrible situation into one that was manageable. I am grateful. read more

If we ever have emergencies...we make an effort to go to this hospital no matter the distance. We are always seen quickly (under 30 minutes), the staff is friendly, quick and thorough. I have taken my children here several times through the last 10 years and they are always consistent with their care in the ER. read more

I love this hospital! I have had my hip replaced in 2014 and this week, total knee emplacement. The staff are all nice, friendly and attentive. I always ask them to keep me longer so I can be pampered more! Food was decent also! read more

So far I have waited over 7 hours and still waiting to see a dr to be released. I asked nurse for soup and it took over an hour. I asked multiple times for water and never got it. I asked a second time and never got it. Finally a security guard got it for me. Peggy war the worst nurse I ever encounter at this hospital. read more

I recently had major surgery at this facility. I cannot begin to tell you what amazing care I received. From the checking in process until I was discharged, I was treated like a queen. They have little extras like a scented massage and aroma therapy that patients are able to have. The food, for hospital food, was actually pretty good. Every hour or so, Someone would poke their head in to make I was ok and didn't need anything. I've been in the hospital before but have never had such a great experience. I will recommend this hospital to everyone. Kudos to Sharp read more

Thank you to the second floor staff at Sharp Coronado Hospital! You made my husband's partial knee surgery as comfortable and stress free as could be. Everyone was kind, courteous, and professional as ever. A shout out to Dr. Maurer and staff. (Too many names to remember for listing individually, don't want to forget anyone.) The get well card was a nice touch. read more

Feels odd to be reviewing a hospital, but the staff at Sharp deserves to know how awesome they are! I frequently find myself in the ER for various things, and the staff has always been compassionate, even with difficult situations. The nurses, regardless of their shift, have all been amazingly sweet. The wait is never very long, even when they're busy. As for outpatient services, the lab is phenomenal. I have blood drawn regularly, and have terrible veins. The phlebotomists are always patient, and more importantly they listen to me. Other labs have insisted on attempting to draw from my arm veins, despite the fact I told them I had a bad vein from a blown IV. X-ray is the same way. They're fast but careful to make sure you're comfortable every step of the way. I'm not wishing a hospital visit on anyone, but if you find yourself needing to go, Sharp Coronado is great. I would definitely recommend their outpatient lab for blood work/urine/etc. read more

Horrible horrible experience. Brought my dad in to get fluids and it took 5 flippin hours and I'm still here. Worst healthcare service I have ever received. The emergency room was practically empty for two hours and they still didn't have enough staff to efficiently help their patients. read more

I came into this hospital today for a UTI. The positive is that it was 6 am on a Tuesday so I was seen right away. However, dr. Curran came in after waiting and barely saw me for 2 minutes and told me I had a bladder infection. He stood up and while walking out of the room, asked me if I had any questions. Before I could even answer he was out the door. This place also looks like an abandoned hospital and is in serious need of an upgrade and caring doctors. read more

My mother took my 94-year-old grandmother into the emergency room Thursday night because she was having trouble walking and wasn't acting like herself. They waited for over 7 hours without being admitted as the staff ran tests. They concluded she was dehydrated and had a little cough so they sent a prescription for her cough to the pharmacy and sent my poor sleep deprived mom and 94 year old mom who CANT WALK on her own home at 4am in the fog!! My mom got a call yesterday (4 exhausting days later) that my grandma indeed has an infection in her private area and a prescription for that is now being sent to the pharmacy. Since Thursday my mom has come down with the flu (wonder why after sitting in an ER for hours and having no sleep because she can't leave my grandmas side and has to take her to the bathroom at all hours of the day and night). If anyone knows who I should contact to file a formal complaint I'd appreciate it. read more

I had the pleasure of having Adell as my lab tech. Adell went out of her way to contact my doctor to get an order processed and called to keep me up dated! She was sweet, kind and generally took an interest. It is always quick & easy to get lab work complete at the Coronado facility! read more

Just had my 3D mammo today on the new machine in the new women's center. It was a wonderful experience. Check in was quick and I was in and out in 15-20 minutes. That includes waiting, walking, the test etc. Rachel was my technician and she was compassionate and took great care in communicating what to expect. I highly recommend!! Everyone should get their mammo's here! Things show up that did not before (my experience) - a blessing and scare all at the same time. Luckily for me it was ruled out to be nothing (the same day too - my repeat mammo and Ultrasound was done shortly after both in the new women's imaging suite- such a beautiful space!) I made my appointment on line - it was easy and awesome -had email and text reminders too! check in it out: https://www.sharp.com/hospitals/coronado/appointments.cfm read more

I had knee surgery at Sharp Coronado Hospital on Tuesday March 21....I knew it was going to be a pleasant experience when I asked the Anesthesiologist Dr. Kris Bjornson if he'd be giving me something to "take the edge off"....When he said "I've got a couple of Margaritas in my pocket" I knew I was in good hands.....Dr. Carter Maurer did the surgery and also kept it light with great bedside manor....I only stayed 1 night in the hospital but ALL the staff were friendly, professional. and attentive ....The cleanliness in this hospital is a 10....I have never seen so many hands washed by everyone who entered and left my room....I know down the road I'll have to have my other knee done and I won't hesitate to use Coronado Hospital along with doctors Bjornson and Maurer.....A big thumbs up to the hospital and staff....A+++++ ......Steve Aldridge....San Diego, Ca. read more

My husband recently had a partial knee replacement at Sharp Coronado Hospital. As a Sharp employee I expect nothing but the best and man did they deliver!

Excellent! read more

The staff is so kind and I was in and out quickly..... Thank you Sharp Coronado Hospital staff.... You guys are amazing

Recent visit 1/8/2017 & our visit was just as bad ! Horrible that I have to visit this ER but I'm willing to go anywhere else after this. Ilove sharp in general , I've had good visits with this hospital but todays visit was not great. I took my son in for he had been playing and hit his mouth and was bleeding I was afraid something bad happened and maybe needing stitches, we came in and there was a line no big deal , the wait was over an hour and I totally get it that they're busy but my son just needed his lip checked , the nurse that did vitals was kind of rude not really enthused , we had to go back to the lobby to wait some more since there was no beds open . We finally get a bed to find out my son was okay and just needs ointment for his lip The doctor was really nice and apologized for the wait . The part that was the icing to the cake was to be offended by the the billing specialist basically because I look Hispanic the social security number I provided for my son was not correct because all California SS start with a 5 not the one my son has then to be asked where he was born and I get attitude because she can't find my sons information in the system . I just went to get my son checked because his dad got paranoid that it could've needed stitches to only waste 2 1/2 hours of my life to only need ointment and leave offended . Thanks sharp you have hired great staff at Coronado. read more

Very caring staff except for emergency room dr vasiliki anvari. She diagnosed a toxic level and sent home the patient without treating the toxin. When we returned she was obviously mad we were back an hour later. She was sarcastic and abrasive. 5 stars for everything except dr vasiliki anvari who gets 1 for showing up to get her paycheck. No thanks to her but the patient recovered with a wonderful and caring, knowledgable staff of professionals. read more

Worst E.R. experience ever! It was my first time in SD and unfortunately I suffered from food poisoning as soon as I arrived and went straight to the nearest hospital unfortunately this one). The woman in the front desk was awful. She was rude, didn't take my symptoms seriously, and intentionally kept me at the bottom of the queue. Only one nurse on duty even though it was a Saturday afternoon, and he didn't take my symptoms seriously either. I told him that I was cold and ate nothing beyond the 4 crackers that I brought in and he offered nothing. Then as he told me to return to the waiting room, I saw him give blankets to other people. I've never felt like such a 3rd-class citizen in my life. 3 hours of waiting and watching every person be seen by a doctor including people who came in long after me. When I mentioned it to the woman at the front desk, she said that she'll change my pain level on the computer and make sure that I'm next (I can't believe she intentionally put my pain level low in the first place!!!), but after being skipped by another 4 people, I had had enough. When I told her, she didn't care even though I was the only person who was there for 3 hours and still got no treatment. After her sarcastic apology, I told her that I was going to go to another hospital, and she rudely responded "Okay, go to another hospital." On my cab ride out of there, the cab driver even told me that that hospital has a reputation for being prejudiced and showing favoritism towards the wealthy and people from that island. I wish my cab driver that drove me to this hospital told me that because I would have told me to take me elsewhere and avoided this whole mess. read more

HORRIBLE, TERRIBLE SNOTTY MEDICAL TEAM HERE. I cannot believe the degree of unprofessional people working here. UNBELIEVABLE they even hold medical degrees. Went in to check out my asthma, since I was having breathing problems. I have a speech impediment and the first thing that nurse said was "What is wrong with your voice?!" In a VERY rude, INSENSITIVE voice. I could not for the life of me believe how ridiculously unprofessional a nurse at a Sharp hospital could be. Once my dad told her that I had a speech impediment she did not even apologize or show any kind of concern for what she had said to someone with a disability but rather proceeded to be extremely arrogant and rude. I have had better treatment when in 3rd world countries. DO NOT go here. read more

I live out of town but was on Coronado renovating some rental property I own there on the Island when I pulled a muscle from lifting something I shouldn't have. After waiting for 1 1/2 ~ 2 hours as one always has to do when going to the emergency room in any hospital, I was finally seen by a doctor by the name of Robert W. Curran. He told me I needed an x-ray which never has been asked of me in the past for a similiar injury but I agreed. After another long wait, Dr. Curran came in and said he didn't have very good news for me and that the x-ray showed my spine was in very bad condition due to several vertebrates at the bottom of my spine out of line. He then said they needed to do an MRI immediately for fear of my condition causing serious damage. SERIOUS DAMMAGE!!! I was shocked as I've always been in excellent health and never any issues with my back or anywhere else for that matter. I was extremely upset and concerned but thank goodness I came to my senses. I said thank you and that I would leave the following day and head straight home to see my doctor and that I use Stanford as my hospital where I live and that I'd feel much better being home and seeing my own doctors. He didn't think that was a good idea at all and kept stressing I needed the MRI ~ IMMEDIATELY ~ and that they should do it that night, right then and there, before any more time went by due to the seriousness of my damaged spine. I was adamant about leaving which he didn't like one bit. I had to say 3 different times... NO, I AM GOING HOME TO SEE MY DOCTOR TOMORROW!!! I left with nasty looks thrown my way and just wanted out of there as quickly as possible. I saw my own doctor and he said there was nothing to worry about and I've been fine since. Talking to several people about my experience, I've come to realize how the medical field is hurting for money so I urge everyone out there to be aware of what's going on and get at least 2 or 3 opinions. I'm very disappointed with the Sharp Coronado Hospital for having a doctor such as Dr. Curran working there. An extremely alarming doctor and downright rude. Not the kind of doctor let alone person you want to have to deal with when you're not feeling well or hurting. read more
