Kindred Hospital San Diego - San Diego Victor Goularte: When I was admitted to kindred I was barely alive, I canāt say enough good things about this place they took care of me when I couldnāt take care of myself and after a stroke I was not a pleasant person but everyone took such great care of me despite my bad attitude nurses Joe, Kevin, and Lisa were very kind. Cindy at the front desk treated my family like they were her own. Sarah the speech therapist was extremely kind and Cesar the physical therapist was a great guy and got me walking again, Josh the patient advocate was also top notch. Overall to anyone that finds themselves in the position I was in I give this place a ten and they deserve 6 stars āļø ā¤ļø
Select Specialty Hospital - San Diego - San Diego Trish B: I spent 85 days at Select Specialty Hospital and am certain it was the right decision. I chose Select based on their affiliation with Scripps. While there I was able to access my labs via Scrippsā portal, making it easier to read the results and discuss them with my doctor.
In all honesty, I was initially hesitant about my stay as the hospital rooms are a bit outdated: however, that was me judging a book by its cover as the Select staff put my mind at ease. I was welcomed, respected, and thoroughly enjoyed my experiences with staff, from doctors, nurses, physical therapists, contracted dialysis, imaging, and wound care, CNAs, care managers, housekeeping, facilities, kitchen personnel, and the receptionist. (Whew! I think I included everyone.)
More specifically, M******e from the kitchen, who personally went room to room to take food orders from patients, was a breeze to work with considering my many diet restrictions. M******e was thoughtful, considerate, dutiful, and interaction with her was a highlight to my day.
N*****a with physical therapy was an enthusiastic source of encouragement. While in her care, she cheered me on and stayed positive, both of which are important factors in keeping patients motivated ā me especially.
The nurses and CNAs made an incredible impact during a long stay such as mine (85 days).
Nurse shout out: S**e, A**l, T******d, F***z, A****e, D****l, R**e, M*****a, T****a, R***n, M***o, N*****a, F***i, V***y, S**a, K****y, E****n, B*****k, J****y, I*n, M*a!
CNA shout out: Kuya T*m, I**a, G***a, J**n, R**a, A***r, S***y, R****a, R*****a, S*****a!
Transitioning into life after discharge hasnāt been seamless in terms of setting up in-home care, but hey, considering all the working pieces, itās understandable.
Would I recommend? Absolutely! 10/10

Scripps Clinic Carmel Valley - San Diego Lauren Gapinske: Ive had an okay experience with medical staff, but scheduling team, receptionists, and staff responsible for messaging through the app have all been unprofessional. Scheduling every appointment was a headache, with many mistakes made. A receptionist once failed to check me in properly for my appointment, which resulted in me waiting for an hour in the waiting room, only to have to flag down my provider as she was leaving for the day. Ran into billing issues here as well. I dont like leaving negative reviews but this was just such a uniquely bad experience.
Psychiatric Hospital of San Diego County - San Diego Cs Cat: How can you take care of patients if you treat staff so poorly? The place is so bad, no one talks to the patients, staff dont talk to staff, and if you are white, you will be treated like a second class citizen, as the only people who matter are the people who run the place: Filipinos. They dont want white people working there so they can get max overtime. They are bullies, they bullied me, and the two white RNs sat in the hall and stared at their computer and never talked. They were invisible. This place is a nightmare for staff and parients. The County only has career development for many minority groups and Caucasians dont have any club they can belong to. It is the most openly racist place I have ever been to outside of the deep South.
