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.

Is it odd to say you enjoy seeing your Dr. and her staff, even when I feel so awful? I trust Dr Switzer in her evaluations and recommendations.

As someone with a chronic illness and multiple co-morbidities DO NOT GO TO THIS DOCTOR. I was misled by previous reviews and chose to see her as my new primary. There was constant invalidation of almost ALL of my problems, which I felt was because she knew I was bipolar. The cherry on top: I waited 2 and a half hours to see her only to be left doubted and disrespected. I thought I was going to cry on the way out.

Dr. Switzer has been wonderfully caring and attentive as a doctor to both myself and my 80-year-old ailing mother. She is intelligent, thoughtful, and always engaged in our well-being. Supporting her is the absolute BEST assistant in the world - Jennifer. She is always on top of things and pro-active. Many thanks to both!

In need for a new Primary Physician with my medicare, I tried Dr. Jamie Switzer. I do not have to look further. Appointment fast and easy, office staff friendly and efficient. Not only Dr. Switzer accepted me, she is professional and warm hearted, knowledgeable and very thorough. She took her time for me and my concerns. Glad I found her!

She gets to know you as a person and takes what you say and how you feel into account when coming up with a treatment plan, i.e., she doesn't just stick you in a box on some form and prescribe something based on what the "paper" says. Very personable and trustworthy. I've never felt rushed; she'll spend a whole hour with you if you need it. She remembers you...she feels like family. I trust her more than any other doctor I've ever seen. Can't say enough good things about her--you'll love her!

Dr. Switzer came highly recommended to me by my primary doctor moving away from San Diego. I have been so pleased and thoroughly satisfied with this practice. She is very knowledgeable, engaged, listens to my situation and has helped me a lot to get resolution with various issues. The office staff is very friendly, efficient, and get me in quickly when needed. Highly recommend Dr. Switzer she is fantastic.

Dr. Switzer was not at all helpful. She spent 45 minutes judging me because of my issues and then sent me out without a diagnosis or any medical advice. The most horrible and demeaning doctor I have ever encountered. I will absolutely not be back here.
