Stay away from Scripps and Dr. Sam. The potential for overcharging, unfair billing practices, and the stress of dealing with collections make this office a risky choice for healthcare. Find a more transparent and trustworthy provider for your medical needs.

My neck was almost broken 20+ yrs ago, and I’ve had chronic pain 24/7 since, caused by the neurological disorder which the traumatic injury caused. I’ve been diagnosed by the best neurologists, and this doctor told me he “didn’t believe I was in as much pain as I said”. If that’s the case, I’d like the last 20 years of my life back, sir. This is only one story of many of how this man will talk down to you, treat you as if you’re the problem (instead of you paying him to heal you), has zero compassion & should NOT be in this profession. If you want a doctor who cares about your treatment, STAY AWAY from this one.

My husband and I have been seeing Dr. Samarasinghe for at least 8 years and would not want to go to anyone else. He is always courteous and friendly. He makes his patients feel comfortable and never rushed. He listens and really cares. He is an excellent doctor.

With horrible insurance...(is there anything other kind?) I went to see Dr. Sam. He did a little networking and got me a great deal on a procedure.He is a great Dr. and a even better Human being.

My family and I have been seeing Dr. Samarasinghe for a few years now. He is an excellent diagnostician, very thorough and truly cares about his patients. He is professional, and pleasant. His nurse is efficient, patient and very kind.
