San Diego Colon and Rectal Surgeons

I have had two surgeries by Dr. Worsey in the past year to treat my Ulcerative Colitis. He is an excellent surgeon that takes the time to listen to your concerns and thoroughly explain procedures. He took the time to visit me every morning while I was in the hospital and his kind demeanor helped put me at ease when things were difficult. So far the procedures are going well and I am doing much better than I was a year ago before surgery. I would strongly recommend him to anyone.

As far as being a surgeon, I am sure Dr. Worsey he is top-​notch. He did an abdominal mesh on me about 10 years ago and it has been fine. As a person, he is an asshole. I work as an RT in a big hospital and deal with doctors all day long and this guy takes the cake. What really put him over the top was that I came in for a follow up visit after my surgery and he had the fucking balls to complain to me about how slow it was taking my insurance to pay him. WTF? Are you kidding me? What am I supposed to do about that? How about some fucking patient care you jerk!

Horrible receptionist and the ruddiness& bossy nurse I’ve ever experienced. This nurse has to be in control, she talked to me as she was my boss and ordered me what to do. She talked to me with a tone of voice that I felt very irritated. When I confronted to her about it, she shot me back with some thing to make me felt like was at fault. I buy a very high paid PPO insurance, I don’t need this kind of services. The front desk named Patty wasn’t helpful either. Not only that she team with the nurse to attack me, she also seemed to bothered when I asked her questions. Doctor Worsey was nice and polite to me, though seemed a little rushed at the end, I didn’t have all my questions answered. I don’t recommend this office to anyone as you have a medical condition, you don’t want these additional stress. Can you imagine having your surgery plus have to deal with these problems?
Oh ! I forgot to mention that this staff went as far as breaking the law, by I think purposely not sending me my medical records as I repeatedly requested them to. I had to report them to the State Board, finally they sent it to me, it took almost a month. When I made an appointment back then, I heard that Dr Worsey works at other facilities as well, only came to this office a few times/​month. My guess is he doesn’t have time to monitor this office, therefore it goes to the hands of «the devil staff».

Dr. Worsey did my first surgery in 2007 and 4 more after that. I would trust him with my life (as I already have). He gave me the life that I wanted for so many years but was so terribly sick and unable to do anything. He worked with me when I was having problems with my insurance and he always ensured that I knew and understood exactly what each surgery would entail.
I would recommend Dr. Worsey to anyone suffering from gastrointestinal disorders. He truly saved my life.

I am ten months post surgery from having Dr. Worsey doing a Laparoscopic bowel resection on me. I too was pretty freaked out about having this type of surgery, but after having 18 months of diverticulitis with five separate flare ups, I had no other options. I would risk a future perforation with many potential complications. I can’t praise Dr. Worsey enough. I had planned to consult with a few surgeons, but after meeting him and having him explain everything, I had complete confidence in him. The surgery went well and my stay at Scripps Memorial was beyond my expectations. The staff there is wonderful! My recovery took about six weeks. I am a 63 year old woman, and as far as I’m concerned Dr. Worsey gave me my life back. I have been able to resume my healthy diet and life style. Having a positive attitude is a good part of a complete recovery as well. I would not hesitate recommending Dr. Worsey to anyone who needs this kind of surgical procedure.

review for dr. worsey, his“nurse”, the receptionist.
I saw him last fall and have been wanting to tell him but did not .
I do not like that his «medical assistant «refers to herself as a nurse. She did not know how to take a proper blood pressure. I commented on the fac6t that the cuff size was too small and she replied, well you are not here for your blood pressure are you? I said no, but I want it to be accurate and it is not with a small cuff. If he lets her do that, then I wonder about everything else. When he examined me, I was told to just get on the table and pull my dress up an my underwear down, in front of everyone. I did not really appreciate dis robing like that, no gown, no sheet… Then, she proceeds to attempt to see my rectal area by leaning over me while I was laying flat on the table and she kept putting all of her weight on me. I moved and she just kept leaning on me. I had to lay on the table due to a knee problem instead of kneeling. He asked me something about how many children I had had when he examined me? Not sure why and it really bothered me why he asked that. That could have been addressed during our interview. I have had none.
I had to pay cash, 350.00 before he would see me, not after. I brought a credit card and then she asked me for cash as if she didn’t trust me. I think it was his wife as the receptionist. I was less than impressed with her.
I haven’t been back as my intuition tells me not to go there, too many red flags and variables. I wanted to trust him, but the entire experience has left me cold. Especially since I read Auon H. review. I do not care for MD that treat people that way. I have a rectal problem due to another Md who could not diagnose me properly.
Not too sure. I am a RN x 29 years and I am not sure what to do now. I am just praying it all goes away. I think I was treated this way a I have no insurance. I left with a lot of unanswered questions. I know he knows more than me re this problem, but, a lot more bedside manner will go far and also be more professional and less bathroom humor. This area of the body is very sensitive and fistulas are painful. I hope he never gets one.

I am now 30 days post op and felt compelled to write a review. I have had colon problems for 10 years now, have seen multiple doctors and surgeons. I was referred to Dr. Worsey for colon resection when my issues started to get really bad. Still, i wanted to do my due diligence before any surgery. For the next three months I asked him multiple questions from everything on complications to anything I found on google that freaked me out, which was many. He answered every one thoroughly but never pressured me to do the surgery. I was also impressed he communicates through email which saved me many office visits. My hospital stay was about five days which he visited once or twice a day to address any problems. It has now been a month with no complications which is all I can ask for.
Thank you Dr. Worsey!

This review is for Dr Worsey… my dad came in for a follow-​up for his corrective anal fissure surgery and was still complaining of extreme pain. Dr WORSEy did not offer any explanation or what my dad could do to relieve his pain (all he said was to put some anesthetic cream to that area and change his diet which my dad has been doing for the last year) and when I asked what was the cause of the pain, he just replied with a very rude tone ‘I Don’t Know’. The follow-​up examination seemed very rushed and as Dr WORSEy was leaving, I heard him sighed one of those sighs where it seemed like he was annoyed by the whole prospect that I even questioned him about why my dad was still experiencing pain after his surgery which was done by Dr WORSEy himself. Honestly he’s the worst doctor that I have came across and I’ve seen them all being a nurse myself. So just stay away from this poor excuse of a doctor.
One Star for the nice receptionist.
