La Jolla Gastroenterology

Dr. Mayer is one of the best doctors and certainly the best colon doctor I have ever had. He took the time to thoroughly explain everything and made me feel heard and appreciated. The colonoscopy itself was an absolute breeze and his team of nurses were super friendly and caring. I have and will...

Didn't even get a visit. Called twice and left messages just to get to the receptionist to schedule an appointment. The call screener said it would take at least 24 hours to get a call-back. Is that what I can expect if I have a problem and need to get hold of the doctor? Sorry - moving right...

Really a terrible experience, maybe the worst Dr. I’ve ever gone too. Doesn’t care, doesn’t listen, shouldn’t practice anymore.

My son and I met with Dr. Mayer and immediately felt very comfortable asking any questions or concerns we had. His knowledge was concise and very thorough. After my son had his endoscopy, Dr. Mayer was available to consult and answer any questions we had. His bedside manner was excellent and he...

I previously gave Dr. Mayer one star but have now changed it to 4 stars. The one star is for the negative experience with his scheduler who needs to be re-trained on how to be more understanding/compassionate toward patients preparing for a colonoscopy. Dr. Mayer personally apologized for this...

This doctor is truly the definition of negligent. He actually ruptured my stitches whilst examining me (along with a track record of perforating many peoples colons during basic GI procedures) his german accent is hard to understand and he constantly makes jokes that arent funny and interrupts...

Dr Mayer is outstanding. Made me feel completely at ease. Totally sedated for both procedures Endoscopy and Colonoscopy. Now due for another and not feeling concerned, or anxious because I know what to expect from Dr Mayer. I know I will be in good hands. His staff is friendly and accommodating. He...

Dr. Paredez comes to the reception area, introduce himself, then escorts you to his office putting patients at ease. He goes over your history with you, takes time to ask and answer questions which made me feel a part of my care. He spoke to me right before the procedure, again when I awoke to...

I had gastroenteritis for two years, and it was painful and very inconvenient. Dr. Paredez patiently listen to me, then asked good questions, and recommended some very good advice about my diet. I made the changes he recommended and my condition soon got much better. I'm very thankful to him.

I was referred to him by another doctor at Scripps, even though he was relatively new, in 2009. Immediately, he knew that I had been misdiagnosed my entire life with IBS and vowed to not give up. He ran multiple, much needed tests, to discover a second stomach that had pre-cancerous cells. If it...
