Dr. Jon Keith Ludwig, MD

My wife went to Scripps Mercy with significant health concerns that were quickly dismissed by both Ludwig and the ER nurse. They didn’t bother to run labs and the only “doctoring” that Ludwig performed was looking down her throat, which he pronounced “I don’t see anything. What do YOU want me to do?” He left and never returned. The nurse came back to discharge her and said, “This is an Emergency Room. We are here for emergent care!”. Scripps billed Blue Shield for 20 minutes of “service”/$150 co-pay and my wife ended up back in the ER 2 days later, only this time we went to UCSD, where they actually performed the necessary tests and provided a treatment plan. I don’t know if Ludwig was having a bad day but his demeanor and lack of medical attention was an insult to the profession.
