As far as MD’s in San Diego go, I have heard many of the healthcare systems here are expanding and recruiting more physicians.
We’ve always tried to choose from the “bests” lists (US News and World Report, etc.) in whatever category we require treatment, and most of those seem to be at Scripps and UCSD here–some are older–others younger, but, they all have great credentials.
Overall, we prefer the Scripps system, but wouldn’t hesitate to see physicians at other facilities around the state or even in other states, if necessary.
