2 months ago, Dr Bement would not recommend a psychiatrist to me to see for a medicine change. She said “it is a Scripps rule and Dr.s are not able to recommend. However, she did recommend a Cardiologist and an Endocrinologist to see. Apparently Scripps is not on board with Mental Health.

I have been a patient of Dr. Bement since I was very young. I have been so incredibly lucky to find such a caring and loving human to take care of me. I truly believe that Dr. Bement has saved my life more than once. She is attentive and passionate about making her patients feel safe, understood, and genuinely cared for.

Every visit is worth it! DR. Bement takes her time and really listens in what your saying. She answers so that you could understand and open if you have any questions that need to answered. I'm always afraid when going to the doctor just because of the what if's and not always thinking smart. But with Dr. Bement she gives you that feeling that everything is going to be okay. Thank you for being you and always being there as a doctor.

Bad experience with every visit! Don't chose her as your doc. Dr. Debra Bement is very cold, un-attentive, does not care about you as a patient, takes every question with an attitude like it is annoying her, lacks empathy and compassion. She is the most uncaring physician I've met. Also, I was very disappointed with her low level of competency and professional qualification. She was not able to provide any meaningful medical advice or recommendation. Total waste of time! Her staff is un-attentive and lacking bedside manners, too. Plus the wait time is at least 30-40 minutes.
