About UC San Diego Health Pediatrics
UC San Diego Health Pediatrics – La Jolla is a reputable healthcare facility that provides exceptional pediatric care. The staff is highly praised for their professionalism and the ability to accommodate patients' needs promptly. Dr. Rothman and Dr. Lawrence Ma, in particular, have received excellent reviews for their compassionate and thorough approach to patient care. Patients appreciate the doctors' genuine concern for their wellbeing and their responsiveness to inquiries. While the facility may have some logistical challenges, such as parking difficulties, the overall service and quality of care are commendable. The clinic's commitment to addressing patients' healthcare concerns is evident, even in cases where they may disagree with certain personal decisions.
Highly recommend Dr. Rothman. He took care of my son on his day off and saved us a trip to the Emergency Department. He went above and beyond and truly cares for his patients. We are very grateful.
Fabulous staff, always able to get seen immediately if needed by the Urgent Care located in the same office. Dr Lawrence Ma is my PCP and when I had my daughter and heard he was also a pediatrician I requested him as my daughters PCP as well. I couldn't be happier. He takes a general interest in the wellbeing of his patients and is always quick to respond to MyChart messages.
This place is ok. I had to come here a couple times because I was having issues with my eye (needed to get a referral with my GP) and then I had to come here again for a pap smear. They don't validate parking here and it is so difficult to get here since the parking lot is terrible. Otherwise the service is fine for what it is. I do want to say that I tried to discuss getting a bilateral salpingectomy because I don't want kids and the doctor I saw wouldn't hear of it, despite the fact that when I saw him I was 35 years old (already a grown person and considered "geriatric" if I wanted to get pregnant according to medical professionals) and had a live-in boyfriend (who is now my husband). It's all because I didn't have kids and I "could still want them" in the future. WTF?! I have a hard time understanding why people who do want kids seem to think they're more intuitive and knowledgeable than I am just because I don't. This is especially important to me given how women's reproductive/sexual rights are slowly being stripped away from me and all other women in this country. ANYWAY...a few years later my husband was able to get a vasectomy at UCSD Health in their urology department, probably because he's a man. Ironically he's a few months younger than me, but I guess he is more informed than I am! /s In conclusion I'm so relieved and glad we're never having children, but it's no thanks to the doctor I saw here.
