Dr Raisinghani seems to be a qualified heart specialist and I trust his medical skills, but he is sometimes grumpy in appointments, as if I’ve irritated him. I’m reluctant to say anything. You can forget about any communication outside of your appointment. For example, questions about serious side effects of medications, or an any communication are never answered. I’ve tried to contact him, his nurse, his office, the UCSD helpline and there is zero response. As if he doesn’t exist.

It's unfortunate when someone is diagnosed with ovarian cancer. What is worse is having to put your trust in someone who doesn't care for you or your condition. We saw Dr Saenze from 2023 to 2024 when my wife had Ovarian cancer. At every interaction, she came in with what felt like a script she had memorized, often times not relating to the test results we would receive. When asked specific questions, she would not answer but simply go back to a script of what she wanted to communicate. For example, Me: 'Have the tumors grow... read more

First of all, Dr. Afshari has an excellent team who help you since the very moment you get to the consulting rooms. She showed to be an incredible person, showing a lot of kindness and attention to her patients; she answered the questions and doubts in a very simple way that you get to understand perfectly the situation you are in, and not think that your eye condition is some kind of rocket science.

Dr. Laverty has been my doctor for over two years. Her expertise, coupled with her consistently courteous and insightful approach, instills great confidence in her ability to provide comprehensive and up-to-date care. She is one of the best healthcare professionals I have ever had.

I found him to be rude and unhelpful. I had multiple PVCs on the EKG they took while I was in his office, in addition to worrying episodes outside his office. He asked if I felt the PVCs and I said yes, but he wrote in the chart that I seemed to be unaware of them??? He also told me people my age frequently have palpitations, which he ignores unless there is firm evidence of a problem, coupled with the patient being aware of the problem. That made sense but since he lied about my being aware of the PVCs, it leaves me up a cr... read more

This Dr. lacks bed side manners. She spent very little time with me… When I asked her a question, her response was your problem is psychosomatic and left.

Ridiculous that Dr. Li has any low ratings. I’m a physician and Dr. Li is my doctor. Everyone I’ve asked him to accept into his full practice has been delighted with his outstanding care. UCSD can be hard to work with but that is a common problem with University health systems and not Dr. Li’s fault.

It's frustrating ever trying to get a simple appointment. Can't ever speak to a real person just goes to an operator. Does not respond to MyChart messages. Had to switch to another provider. Syndromic of getting care at UCSD in general.

Dr Laverty was recommended by a friend. I have a rare disease (CIDP) and have had excellent progress on my current treatment. Dr. Laverty did not agree with the IVIG infusions which has kept me walking for the last 10 years. Said it was a bandaid. I listened to her concerns but felt good about my decision to continue my current treatment has worked for me for 10 years. I did finally try her way, the side effects of 2 types landed me in bed. She wanted me to try a 3rd and I said no done beginning bedridden and miserable. For ... read more
