    Walking into the building and walking out of the building I was surrounded by such a caring staff who answered all of my questions. The lovely lady helping me check-in, the nurse who took my vitals, the physician who guided me during the procedure, the nurse with aftercare notes and instructions everyone was so kind & patient with me.

    Awesome new UCSD Hillcrest Outpatient Pavilion. Parking is SO MUCH easier & closer than for the main UCSD Hillcrest Medical Center. New, clean, modern Medical facility that brings clinics previously only available at UCSD Health's La Jolla venues to Hillcrest for patients, like me, who live in South San Diego County.

    UCSD Medical Center is filled with the excellent service whether it be a specialist in any field of a doctor, nurse, medical assistant, and other staff. I've never experienced any waiting time for my appointments all on time. I can't say enough about how great the medical service.
