UC San Diego Health Obstetrics and Gynecology – Kearny Mesa

"My visit with Jennifer S. Hirch at the Convoy location today was honestly really disheartening. Right from the start of my prenatal appointment, she made me feel uncomfortable by immediately commenting on my weight. She didn't bother to ask about my lifestyle or background before diving into unsolicited nutrition advice. Her exact words "you’ve already gained so much weight and I don’t want you to end up being the size of a house, so no more donuts for breakfast! “ It was just plain hurtful and extremely unprofessional. It seemed like she didn't care to understand me as an individual and my lifestyle even though my labs and blood work looks perfect and she has NO idea about my lifestyle and profession since I am a certified nutritionist and when I got pregnant I was at my peak physique being extremely lean. She not only continues to saying “ that’s ironic “ when I told her I didn’t need nutrition advice since I am a certified nutritionist. She continued to pass judgment. Honestly, I'm pretty upset about the whole experience, and I don't think I'll be recommending UCSD's prenatal department to anyone after this. And will continue to file complains about this since it was unacceptable"

"The nurse Jasmine here is the BEST nurse I’ve had throughout all my medical appointments. She’s so talented and skilled with blood draws. The office is clean and everyone is friendly and understanding - I’ve seen multiple midwives and they are all great!"

"I've only had good experiences here.. Yes, they are overwhelmed with patients but I do feel like I get the time I deserve."
