VERY BAD EXPERIENCE

On January 1 we went to the Scripss clinic to the emergency department because my daughter Maria Jose Aranda Juarez felt bad with severe pain above her stomach, was nauseous and had vomited 10 times.

It was attended by Dr. Richard James Pfeiffer who requested to do blood and urine tests.

The doctor notifies us that the results they did to my daughter are positive for pregnancy and that her life was in danger because the baby was coming out of the womb and that they have to do an urgent ultrasound.

Before such news we were astonished too much, since not only was she pregnant but her life was in danger

I just thought we had only gone to the clinic because of severe gastritis. And suddenly the doctor's diagnosis had changed so that my daughter's life was in danger.

Before the news the doctor was told that it was a mistake since he could not be pregnant because he had never had relations.

At the request of us they repeated the studies and the correct result came out and the doctor tells us that he has good news that it was a mistake and that he is not pregnant and that it was only gastritis and he sends us Omeprazole.

How is it possible that a clinic with doctors supposedly trained to do their job can be wrong in this way giving a totally wrong diagnosis, and can cause another illness to both my daughter and us by the news...

I think I may possibly have the very best Primary Physician I've ever had and anyone out there could even hope to have. I'm actually a bit reluctant to even spread the word for fear she'll be so booked up I'll never be able to get in to see her myself! Seriously, Doctor Amy Magnuson is the best doctor anyone could ever hope to find. She's so cheerful and warm and smart. She definitely has it all going on for her. I've been going to Scripps now for a little over a year after relocating from the Bay Area and finding all new doctors is a challenge indeed! I didn't have much success upon arriving here and not really knowing anyone so I could network etc so it took a bit of time but the time and effort I put into finding not just a good Primary but a GREAT one was my 3rd time was a charm time for me. I love her! In fact I really have had a fantastic experience with just about everyone I've met there. There's a lot of good people there that really care!!! And I'm so happy to know that I have a doctor now that I can count on to provide me with everything I could hope for! It's pretty intimidating to make a huge move at 63 years old and find all new doctors particularly when excellence is essential. Thank you Dr. Magnuson and my thanks to Scripps. I'm happy to...
