Sharp HealthCare Avis 

Very disappointing experience with Sharp.
I was with Scripps for many years and switched to Sharp when I went on Medicare. I like my primary care doctor, but my last two experiences with Sharp’s eye department have been extremely frustrating.
At my first appointment, I arrived 20 minutes early as requested, yet waited about 25 minutes past my appointment time just to get into a room, followed by another 20-minute wait for the doctor. I was then told I needed dilating drops, which added another 20–30 minutes. I was never told beforehand that this would be necessary.
Yesterday, I arrived 15 minutes early for another eye appointment and waited 45 minutes without being seen. When I asked the front desk when I might be called, they couldn't give me any idea. The staff member was also very unfriendly and seemed bothered that I was asking.
I drove all the way from Cardiff for the appointment and ultimately left without being seen.
I understand that doctors can run behind, but patients deserve communication and basic courtesy. After these two experiences, I am extremely disappointed with Sharp.

Because of a mistake made by Covered California, I was billed $187 for health insurance by Sharp that I never used and immediately cancelled. I spent (not exaggerating) ~5 hours total across multiple phone calls trying to get this resolved, and was assured multiple times that I would not have to pay this charge, yet kept receiving calls from their clueless billing department, requesting the payment. Eventually I just ended up paying it to be able to keep my insurance from being suspended, as I was dealing with health issues and had a doctor’s appointment the next day. I couldn’t help but feel like I was being scammed. Clearly this is just another health insurance company run by heartless, soulless ghouls.

Emergency room social services for homeless how do you go about it?
Multiple times to the emergency room with no further help on being homeless.Doctor was great. I think I need to get more clarification

Vs1collections with my partnership with US homeland security if you see something say something campaign. before actually going to admit myself into emergency I went to the cafeteria to get coffee as well as get eat my food. They actually told me it was a private cafeteria that I wasn’t welcome at first I didn’t understand that. But what I think it is is that I’m being targeted and when I come or go anywhere, they try to create havoc before even being able to use their services so I don’t have access to the services. I had five securities come get me, but we need to be able to educate security staff on how to go about properly interacting with humanity. as well as understanding the particulars of homeless outreach when using their social services at emergency.

I was lied to by Sharp about covering my ambulance transfer. Sharp prompted Scripps ER to transfer me to their hospital. They promised me since they were the ones requesting the transfer they would cover it and I would not be charged. I was then charged by the ambulance company. When I later emailed Sharp about covering the expense they then told me they would not be paying for it.
