Scripps Green Hospital - La Jolla

"The hospital is rather old and undergoing renovations. A bit of a mess during my stay, but OK. I got lucky and got the room to myself so that was nice."

Sunil Bhoyrul

"Dr. Bhoyrul was wonderful. I highly recommend him! I had my first consult on 6/28 and he took time to explain the procedures that he thought I should consider (Roux-en-Y and Lap band) and answered all of my questions without rushing me or making me feel like I was taking too much time. He encouraged me to exercise more - something I need to do - and was very positive about my success with whichever procedure I picked. I chose the lap band for many reasons and am comfortable with my decision. After meeting with Dr. Bhoyrul a few times, I am very confident with his ability and skill. The only negative thing I have to say is that at my last appointment, he said that he would submit me for approval, but I was not to gain any weight. I guess that irritated me, but I'm sure he has a good reason to say it. I'm sure there are those patients who go on the "last supper" binge before surgery. I just think it could have been said a little differently, but the same point made. This still doesn't change my opinion of him. He's a terriffic doctor."

Kirsten Starr

"Dr. Starr is an excellent PCP. She is truly concerned with her patients well being. She is very direct (which I admire) and will answer any questions you have."

Lisa Steres

"Dr. Steres is AWESOME. She really understands the problems that come with obesity and is very earnest in wanting to help you do the best you can. She knows the correct questions to ask and listens well. She pick up on things you say in your responses and really helps you bring clarity to your feelings without pressure or making you feel bad. I highly recommend her!!"
