I received the most excellent care from my medical team. Dr. Quin explained everything prior to surgery and answered all of my questions. The nurses were amazing, had zero complications related to anesthesia.

On May 16, 2024, I underwent trigger thumb surgery at Mission Valley Heights Surgery Center, and from start to finish, it was an incredible experience. From the moment I walked in, I was met with professionalism and care that exceeded all my expectations. I was warmly greeted by Sharon at the front desk, whose friendly demeanor immediately put me at ease. Kim then took me back, and her reassuring presence made the pre-surgery process seamless. Rachel was amazing throughout, providing exceptional care and ensuring all my questions were answered. Juliette started my IV with such skill and gentleness that I barely felt a thing. Jennifer then escorted me to the OR, maintaining a comforting and calm atmosphere that significantly reduced any anxiety I had. Dr. Sandhu, who handled anesthesiology, was top-notch, ensuring I was completely comfortable and well-informed about the procedure. The surgery itself was performed by Dr. Garay, and I cannot praise his expertise enough. His skill and precision were evident, and I felt completely confident in his care. This incredible team worked like a well-oiled machine, knowing exactly what they were doing at every step. I was calm and at ease throughout the entire process, thanks to the outstanding care and coordination of this remarkable team. I am deeply grateful for the experience I had at Mission Valley Heights Surgery Center. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for making what could have been a stressful situation into an incredibly positive experience.

Terrible business practice misleading people about charges. Stay away from this company. They send bills months later stating that they have been due and you’re going to collections. Claim to have sent bills multiple times which is untrue, online system for payments not able to process payment creating more delays. Overall terrible experience and would not recommend this place to anyone
