UC San Diego Health Primary Care Internal Medicine – La Jolla

"Front staff insisted on canceling my appointment for being 7 minutes late. Meanwhile this same clinic has no problem keeping patients waiting for their appointments for extended periods of time. Clinic does not take the patient needs into account. Parking is a headache as well, allow yourself an additional 10 minutes for parking and elevator use during busy times."

"The worst! I went in for a routine yearly check up and the doctor ordered “standard” lab test. I end up with a $250 plus bill! After a hour on a three way phone call between my health insurance and UCSD, the insurance will not cover the lab work because it is not deemed necessary until I’m 40years old at least! I’m 30 years of age! Why are the doctors at UCSD ordering blood work so over the top for a routine check up! Now UCSD still wants me to pay for unnecessary lab work order! SKETCHY Shark practice here! Highly recommend going anywhere else, they were also rude on the phone! P.S. I have insurance through The aviation industry and is typically very good and covers above and beyond everything!"

"My experience at UCSD internal medicine is always excellent! Dr. Lisa Wastila is always professional, welcoming and highly experienced in her field. I truly appreciate all her help and assistance with my health care. Lisa Brickner"

"I have nothing but praise about the staff of the UCSD-la Jolla primary care internal medicine group. In particular, I wish to single out Dr. Nicholas Daniels. His commitment to the health and well being of his patients goes far beyond my personal experience with the medical profession. His frankness and candor, but in a highly respectful way, has given me a new lease on life. I feel that he cares about myself and my family, rather then just as patients and clients . If you want a doctor who cares, be straight and reach the best path of treatment for you, then this is the Doctor for you. I wish I could rate more than five stars."

"I am a UCSD employee and Blue Cross was recently dropped from my insurance options forcing me to leave Scripps and join UCSD Health Systems. In the year that I have been a member I have been unable to secure an initial doctor visit appointment. I first waited 6 months for my initial visit with the doctor and then as luck would have it my son was sick that day and I had to miss the appointment. They told me there was nothing that they could do, that I would have to wait 6 months again to see the doctor and that, in fact, they are not taking any new patients but I am welcome to see a "family doctor" at another location instead. So still waiting...."
