hi all! we just found out that we're pregnant and it goes without saying that we are super excited to be finally on this road.. especially after a miscarriage last december. fingers crossed that we make it through to the end this time!
on to this though --- for the last few years i've been going to scripps encinitas (live in cbad) for all my normal checkups and appointments, and have been very happy with my primary care, etc.. but this morning i started to do some quick research on where to choose an OB (and ultimately l&d), and i'm starting to wonder if encinitas is the way to go.
i saw a few other posts about this back from 2007-2009, and was wondering if anyone had any more recent feedback on comparing their experiences at the two hospitals? if so, would you mind sharing your thoughts on this when you have the chance?
huge thanks in advance!
Re: scripps encinitas VS scripps la jolla
I have been going to Scripps Enci since I miscarried in June. I am now about 9 weeks. I have had a great experience at SE. I see Erin Phillips and she has went out of her way for my viability appointments and keeping me informed every step of the way. My husband is also very critical and he had been very happy with the staff and dr.s. one thing I would complain about is scripps coastal is connected to CORE. There is not a lot of seating and people from CORE have come to the OB side to sit and wait for their appt. Maybe it is the hormones but it drove me CRAZY. Let the pregnant women sit down! That has only happened once I have been there about 5 times now. For LaJolla tho, I have also heard very good things from friends, I have never been. Bit of a drive from Oceanside area.
I delivered at La Jolla and it was amazing. The nurses especially deserve a shout out! IDK about Encinitas but at La Jolla all recovery rooms are private and modeled after a hotel, they were amazing!
