Naval Medical Center San Diego Emergency Room - San Diego (CA)

5 /5 Hilary Tshirlig: Shoutout to Balboa ER staff, doctors and Corpsman. They all really took great care of me when I was very sick with COVID and also when I got injured on the job at work. They made sure everything was documented in my medical record as requested. Only downside is of course you will have to wait awhile in the waiting room as they are busy but they took great care of me and listened to me. They’ve been taking good care of me since I was a Seaman Recruit. Thank you all very much.

5 /5 Paige D.: I’m AD and a corpsman so I’ve never used the er for myself before. I went in yesterday with a high fever after having it 5 days amongst many other symptoms. Got my vitals taken right away at 1040 and was given Tylenol by the nurse to help with my fever. With a full waiting room I only waited about 1.5 hours to be called back for a bed. Kelly the NP was phenomenal. Fast and professional and kind. The entire staff took great care of me. Got my diagnosis-pneumonia and medications and got home by 3pm. They saved my life literally because another week and I would’ve had to of been hospitalized most likely. The er is for emergencies and triages based off symptoms so don’t forget they’re not an urgent care or sick call. But I had a really good experience for an actual medical issue and wanted to share for other AD folks.

5 /5 Dr. Alex Hickethier: I like both Naval and VA medicine. The naval emergency room is efficient and the representatives are professional. As with all emergency rooms it is a triage setting and individuals minor problems may have to wait to be seen what is one of the most efficient emergency rooms I have been in. Over the years I have visited three different emergency rooms and Im most pleased with the Navys.
