Scripps Coastal Medical Center Vista at 130 Cedar Road, Vista, California.

Although I have no complaints about the service I received here I'm very appalled at the cost that they charged me for an urgent care visit, and the fact that the cost was hidden from me until days after the visit.

At the front desk I was told that I would need to pay a $100 cash deposit in order to be seen, and that the visit would likely not cost much more than that - especially since, because I don't have insurance, they would apply a 40% discount. At no point would they tell me how much I was going to be charged.

As it turns out, full price for a basic urgent care visit is well over $500! After the discount was applied I still owed around $325... just to be seen by a doctor who did some very basic tests like hitting my knee with a hammer and maybe 15 minutes worth of asking me questions.

I didn't even want urgent care but the operator that I got on the phone told me that the only way that I could be seen in any reasonable amount of time was to go to urgent care, which didn't open until 2pm.

I'm outraged at the cost of this visit and I will never, ever go to a Scripps facility again.

Scripps Cedar is awesome. All my experiences with various doctors has been excellent.....that includes urgent care, the labs and my great primary doctors. If complainers are complaining about "waiting to long", they are probably whining about the walk-in urgent care on the first floor or their regular doctor had to attend to an emergency situation...it happens!!

I wish I could give 3 stars but at this point it’s not possible. The clinic as a whole is not bad. But my primary Dr. Ferrer has dodged me repeatedly. Won’t fill prescriptions, won’t call me back, won’t give me the referrals I need. I actually just found out from another doctors office that I was given a referral to a neurosurgeon after 6 weeks of waiting but I was never informed. He wrote it 2 weeks ago or something but nobody told me. No letter, nothing. Worst primary EVER!!! Please don’t use him. I have had to pay for prescriptions and X-rays which I’ve never had to do. I have good insurance too! Getting out of his network ASAP. Btw I broke my leg in 2 places and broke my neck and had 8 hours of surgery. This is not the doctor you want if you get in a major accident. Maybe if you get the flu he’ll give you some medicine.
