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.

I have been with Dr. Julie and staff since she was in the Ximed building. She is absolutely wonderful. She looks me in the eyes, takes her time and explains things clearly. The staff has always been kind. Suzanna Neal

Dr. Julie has been our (my wife and I) choice of primary physician for a few years now, and her service, knowledge, bedside manner, and care for her patients has stayed consistently above par. We have never found a primary care physician that we love as much as we do Dr. Julie. She has led the way for us getting our health on track, and I have already highly recommended her to several other people. Thank you for all you do, Dr. Juile!

Dr. Julie is the absolute best! I've been her patient for over 20 years. She's an outstanding doctor who is brilliant and very talented. Incredibly responsive too!! Very rare you ask even a non-urgent question on the MyScripps portal and not have a response within 12 hours! If your question is about an illness, she has her nurses call immediately. I just experienced a 30 minutes response. Unheard of these days. Additionally, Dr. Julie's bedside manner is delightful. She listens and doesn't rush you. She cares. I can't say enough or recommend Dr. Julie more. A testimony is I convinced my husband to become her patient. He was extremely impressed and grateful for her care. Her team is superb too! Don't look any further if you want the best Internist in all of San Diego and North County.

I mixed up the day and time of my first appointment. This is a massive dramatic event and they will make you feel pretty low about it. If you are not 30min early, dont bother going to the appointment. Extremely rude staff and very stressful to park. I do not recommend this practice. The only thing missing is the "take a number" contraption. Do not expect personalized healthcare or any kind of personal relationship with anyone. I guess I am old school.

I recently went to see Dr. Julie as my PCP. It is the first time I've been to a doctor where I felt like they genuinely cared about my health. She took the time to answer all of my questions and concerns and didn't make me feel like she was rushing to get to her next patient. I highly recommend her!
