Patient Reviews
Dec 15, 2023
Dr. Alula has been my Primary Care Physician since moving to San Diego about 4 years ago. Naturally, it is a difficult decision finding a new PCP, but as soon as I met her I felt I had made a good choice. She is the warmest and most caring PCP I have ever had. I am 76 years old and she has kept track of the ailments of increasing age, and referred me to specialists when appropriate. When my PSA (the marker for prostate problems) started to rise, she sent me to a urologist even though it was not yet in the danger zone, and I was resistant (call it denial), but she strongly encouraged me. As it turned out, I had an aggressive form of prostate cancer, and thanks to the excellent oncology and surgical staff at Scripps, I had it removed before it spread. Due to some decision on the part of the Scripps Coastal group (apparently the MBA's want bigger bonuses than they can justify from the profits from Medicare Advantage insurance patients), I need a new PCP, which I deeply regret.
