Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

My Momma passed away today at 89 years old. She had the most gentle, compassionate care. I’m so grateful for the ICU at Scripps Memorial. Dr. Dhupa was amazing. Even though my heart is breaking I know all the best decisions and guidance was given.

My daughter contacted a staph infection that resulted in her having a stroke. The staph infection settled in several parts of her body and was eating away bone and tissue. She had two major operations on her vertebrae, open heart surgery to replace a valve, insertion to relieve fluid from her collapsed lungs, and discard a sack of infection in her left flank where she had received an injection. Thanks very much to Dr. Dhupa and his amazing staff she is now in rehab and alive!!
