5 /5 Patience Is The Key: When choosing a hospital you have to be very careful because you can run into some employees (Nurses+Doctors) that are having a good day, and a bad day. You can also run into them on their best day, and be shocked that you looked at GOOGLEs 2.6 rating and said, thats wrong!
I came here today to have my jaw (broken 8 weeks prior) wire replaced because it snapped. I was concerned that my jaw would lose its ability to heal at a faster rate of speed.
I am staying with a friend two hours east of here and there are only two emergency room/Hospitals there in that entire city and both are level 4 trauma centers. I was admitted and the doctor came in within seconds and said she couldnt do anything for me, and suggested quite a few choices, but said she would go to UC SAN DIEGO because of their reputation in the industry, so I drove...
My doctor was super cool! Beside manor is highly important besides competency of course. My doctor gave me a thorough evaluation and consulted with the on-site ENT specialist for what they should do, ended up cutting and pulling the wires+screws. Harbor UCLA said to keep it in for another three weeks but my doctor gave me the risks of keeping it in any longer on top of the CT scan they performed, thorough!
I will be transferring hospitals from Harbor UCLA to UC SAN DIEGO because of this new information I learned from my doctor today. Both hospitals are level 1 trauma centers and teaching hospitals but night/day differences immediately upon arrival to their parking lot.
My overall experience today was a solid 10/10!!!
Thank you Dr. Riley Scott
