San Diego’s Top Doctors 2020: The List

Castle Connolly Top Doctors is a health care research company and the official source for Top Doctors for the past 25 years. Castle Connolly’s established nomination survey, research, screening, and selection process, under the direction of an MD, involves many hundreds of thousands of physicians as well as academic medical centers, specialty hospitals, and regional and community hospitals all across the nation.

The online nominations process, located at castleconnolly.com/nominations, is open to all licensed physicians in America, who are able to nominate physicians in any medical specialty and in any part of the country, as well as indicate whether the nominated physicians are, in their opinion, among the best in their region in their medical specialty or among the best in the nation in their medical specialty. Once these nominations have been made, Castle Connolly’s physician-led team of researchers follows a rigorous screening process to select top doctors on both the national and regional levels.

Careful screening of doctors’ educational and professional experience is essential before final selection is made among those physicians most highly regarded by their peers. The result: We identify the top doctors in America and provide you, the consumer, with detailed information about their education, training, and special expertise in our paperback guides, national and regional magazine “Top Doctors” features, and online directories.

Doctors do not and cannot pay to be selected and profiled as Castle Connolly Top Doctors.

Physicians selected for inclusion in this magazine’s “Top Doctors” feature also appear online at castleconnolly.com, or in conjunction with other Castle Connolly Top Doctors databases online on other sites and/or in print.

Castle Connolly was acquired by Everyday Health Group (EHG), one of the world’s most prominent digital health care companies, in late 2018. EHG, a recognized leader in patient and provider education, attracts an engaged audience of over 53 million health consumers and over 780,000 US practicing physicians and clinicians to its premier health and wellness websites. EHG combines social listening data and analytics expertise to deliver highly personalized health care consumer content and effective patient engagement solutions. EHG’s vision is to drive better clinical and health outcomes through decision-making informed by highly relevant data and analytics.

San Diego’s Top Doctors 2021: The List

For almost two decades, the San Diego County Medical Society (SDCMS) has worked collaboratively with San Diego Magazine to recognize physicians who are held in the highest regard by their peers. Votes and nominations are open to all physicians in San Diego. The voting physicians are asked to vote for physicians within and outside their specialty to whom they would refer their friends and family. Through this process we have identified 730 physicians in 109 specialties.

In a synchronized effort, SDCMS confirmed every individual nominee’s Medical Board of California licensing and current practicing status. Through this exhaustive process, 730 physicians are being honored this year. Many of them have also been recognized for multiple years since we began publishing this list. (These physicians have the number of years they have been selected listed in brackets behind their name.)

Many superb physicians are not represented on this list. The selection criteria are strict, with only a few percent of physicians selected in each specialty. Many physicians received multiple votes from their peers but did not reach the threshold to be on the list. The best choice of physician for a patient should include many factors. All physicians in San Diego work collaboratively to provide the very best care for all of their patients.

We welcome and encourage all San Diego County physicians to participate in their county and state medical societies as we work toward the SDCMS vision: “Physicians United for a Healthy San Diego.” We appreciate the assistance of all of the physicians who voted, and we thank San Diego Magazine for their support.

Congratulations to all of our 2021 Top Doctor selectees! – Sergio Flores, MD; President 2021-2022 San Diego County Medical Society

Curing the Unknown in a Global Pandemic

How one of San Diego’s prominent health care centers fought their way through the first days of the pandemic

Curing the Unknown in a Global Pandemic
Curing the Unknown / Dr. Sandeep Soni

Palomar Health’s infectious disease specialist and medical director, Dr. Sandeep Soni

Jenny Siegwart

Palomar Health admitted its first COVID-19 patient March 13, only two days after the World Health Organization declared the novel coronavirus a global pandemic. However, at both its Poway and Escondido medical centers, preparation had been ongoing for months. Hospital directors produced coronavirus protocols beginning in January, with a strong focus on treating those infected without letting the illness spread to staff or any other patients in the building. They succeeded.

As of press time, Palomar Health had administered 1,075 positive COVID-19 tests since early February, and admitted 389 patients. Yet not a single patient or staff member contracted the virus while on campus during this time.

Leading the effort was infectious disease specialist and medical director Dr. Sandeep Soni, who, like most first responders, felt personally invested in preventing further spread of the coronavirus. “My wife is a critical care specialist at Palomar Health,” he says. Their biggest concern was “making sure we’re not taking everything home to our family.”

Working closely with Dr. Soni was Valerie Martinez, a nurse with three decades’ experience who serves as Palomar’s infection control officer, directing a team of infection preventionists. “We used to be called ‘infection control personnel,’” she clarifies, “but we changed our name across the US to ‘infection prevention,’ because we want to prevent rather than have to go in and try to control it.”

First priority, says Soni, was to increase the hospitals’ number of negative pressure rooms. These rooms are equipped with ventilation systems that keep airborne contagions isolated by siphoning the air flow through filtered exhaust vents that lead outside the building.

Palomar’s two campuses had 27 such rooms between them at the beginning of the year. But its facilities operations department went to work around the clock to convert an additional 57.

Curing the Unknown / Valerie Martinez

In normal times, negative pressure rooms might isolate patients with tuberculosis, or other well-studied infectious diseases. At this point, very little was known about this coronavirus—the CDC wouldn’t advise that its transmission is primarily airborne until May—and the Palomar team was able to disregard public health guidelines calling for only conditional use of negative pressure rooms. Instead, it isolated every patient possible in this way, primarily on its Escondido campus.

They also required facial coverings for everyone entering the hospital from the outset, “before it was a directive from county public health,” notes Martinez. This early action looks prescient now, due not only to the well-publicized risk of asymptomatic spreaders, but also that of presymptomatic carriers. “You can transmit the virus about 48 hours before you start showing symptoms,” she explains.

But Soni and Martinez didn’t have to act on foresight. They based many of their decisions on their experience with another coronavirus. “We had to go through this when SARS was on the map a few years ago,” Soni says. “We put those protocols in place because they were very similar.”

Year-round, Martinez and her team work closely with the county to identify the presence of viruses and bacteria before they spread. But more immediately, they work with the hospitals’ environmental services staff—its cleaning crews.

While the facilities department worked to keep hospital air free of coronavirus, Maria Zaragoza-Magno and 124 other custodial employees were implementing best practices to eradicate it from surfaces. On a daily basis, they don protective gear and thoroughly sanitize the rooms of COVID-19 patients, including those on ventilators. Zaragoza-Magno and her colleagues already possessed the skills needed to safely clean isolation rooms before the pandemic, and now they’ve taken additional measures, like using oxycide, a specialized disinfectant, on high-touch surfaces like faucet handles, light switches, and call buttons.

Dr. Soni points out that the work of environmental services staff carries as much risk of infection as that of doctors and nurses. “They still have to gear up, gown up, put on N95 masks, and go into that room,” he says. “They’ve stepped up.” From top to bottom, the roughly 700 employees at work in the two Palomar hospitals on any given day have all faced the risk of picking up the illness and taking it home to their families. “I don’t think there’s a group of nurses or physicians who have not worked with COVID-19 patients.”

Since the pandemic started, the number of non-coronavirus patients in the hospital has steeply declined, most likely because people are avoiding seeking treatment due to fear of catching the virus. For better or for worse, this has left specialists from other departments available to step in to help with COVID-19’s myriad complications, from thickening blood (thrombosis) to loss of elasticity in the lungs (fibrosis).

Maria Zaragoza-Magno is one of 125 environmental health services workers dedicated to sanitizing the isolation rooms.

As professional and public understanding of this confounding new illness changed, at times drastically, Soni credits department leaders with helping develop and implement new protocols on the fly. “I think, as a patient, you’re coming into the hospital expecting your physicians to know everything,” he says. “But we were kind of in a no-man’s land.”

A committee of department heads worked together, seven days a week, deliberating over email threads in response to new data and treatment guidance. The pharmacy team fought to secure medications, lab directors sought materials to reduce test result times from days to hours, anesthesiologists implemented plasma transfusion plans, the heads of emergency and critical care kept teams up to date, and the IT staff kept the hospitals’ internal systems updated so providers could successfully order and track shifting courses of treatment.

Soni also lauds the Palomar Health board of directors, who, by May’s end, had spent $4 million to keep the medical centers supplied with materials necessary for both prevention and treatment. In addition to the cost of negative pressure rooms, protective gear, and hard-to-find medications, Palomar Health boosted the number of ventilators on hand from 40 to 160.

Meanwhile, less-invasive treatments have evolved from pursuing unproven long shots (like hydroxychloroquine) to banking on a four-pronged combination supported by the latest research: anti­coagulants to prevent thrombosis; plasma infusions from COVID-19 survivors to accelerate immune system response; the corticosteroid dexamethasone to reduce inflammation; and the go-to antiviral drug remdesivir, which has only recently become readily available to all patients who need it.

As September began, 47 Palomar Health patients had died from COVID-19, so the system stood at an 88 percent survival rate, versus 78 percent in San Diego overall. Soni observes that the results have improved since this spring, but he already has his mind set on the upcoming flu season. “How is your body going to react?” he wonders. “That’s the big unknown right now. That’s what keeps me up at night.”

Nevertheless, Martinez stresses that people who need treatment for ailments other than COVID-19 should feel confident and safe in visiting the hospital. “It is safe to come in,” she says.

Seven Restaurants, One Rising Star

Yes, Chef! winner Emily Brubaker leads the robust culinary program at Omni La Costa Resort & Spa

Seven Restaurants, One Rising Star

For Executive Chef Emily Brubaker, Omni La Costa Resort & Spa feels like home. She grew up just a mile-and-a-half away from the 400-acre property and fondly recalls walking the golf course perimeter as a kid. Though her ambitions led her away from San Diego for nearly two decades in which she honed her craft in some of the highest of high-profile Las Vegas restaurants—including triple Michelin-starred Joël Robuchon at MGM Grand—they ultimately brought her back to North County.

Courtesy of Omni La Costa

Today, the classically French-trained chef, who’s fresh off a victory on NBC’s Yes, Chef!, judged by Martha Stewart and José Andrés, oversees Omni La Costa Resort & Spa’s seven distinct dining concepts. Her goal is to elevate the resort’s culinary program with her creative, hyperlocal ingredient-driven approach while maintaining the Spanish- inspired flavors and fresh California coastal cuisine that are the bedrock of its culinary identity.

“The San Diego food scene is really growing, and in North County alone, it’s really exploded in the last five years,” Brubaker says. “There are Michelin stars, beautiful tasting menus, craft bakers, and all this food—when I was growing up in La Costa, it was fish tacos. Now there are really cool things popping up, and I’m so happy to be here to see where it’s going to go.”

Brubaker gives chefs de cuisine at each individual restaurant autonomy, however, her influence is evident across the resort.

For example, lobby restaurant Bar Traza serves as Omni La Costa’s culinary centerpiece and features bold Spanish flavors in a lively, social atmosphere. Brubaker overhauled the menu to be more consistent and centered on casual bites with that signature vibe. Think smoky paprika, vibrant citrus, and Spanish meats and cheeses.

At VUE, the focus is on seasonal offerings, California coastal cuisine, and Baja-inspired dishes. She and Chef de Cuisine Cameron Dixon change the menu biannually, which heading into summer, will highlight farm-fresh produce and hyperlocal ingredients—the resort even has its own herb garden and honeybee hives.

Poolside dining options are leaning into the country’s 250th this summer with a selection of classic American dishes with an Omni La Costa twist. And Bob’s Steak & Chop House (Brubaker is a trained butcher) offers a classic steakhouse experience with elevated service.

The chef and company also plan menus for special events at the resort where her creativity can really shine. For an upcoming National Ski Association dinner, the banquet hall will be transformed into an Alpine-themed winter wonderland complete with a snow machine, savory sausages, and melty, decadent raclette. A recent dinner was built around the Carlsbad Flower Fields and each course was matched to a color of ranunculus (Did you know pink dragonfruit are grown in North County? You do now.).

“It’s my zen to be in the kitchen playing with food,” Brubaker says.

Omni La Costa’s culinary program is a key part of the resort experience. And with Brubaker’s leadership, it’s becoming a draw for visitors and locals alike.

“These aren’t just hotel restaurants, these are restaurants that you should go to. They’re destinations, and I’m really hoping for the future that’s where we’re going,” Brubaker says.

Courtesy of Omni La Costa

Brubaker is also channeling her experience on Yes, Chef! into the culture at Omni La Costa—more emphasis on teamwork and collaboration, empowering her staff to share constructive critiques, and embracing different perspectives. Alongside her leadership role, Brubaker has become an advocate for mental health in the hospitality industry, serving as chief ambassador for the Burnt Chef Project and serves on the Board of Advisors for the Apex Culinary Program, where she mentors and develops future talent.

Giving Birth During COVID-19

Two personal accounts on being pregnant and giving birth amid a global pandemic

Giving Birth During COVID-19

What It’s Like to Give Birth Now

In labor for 37 hours while wearing a mask

I was just entering my third trimester in March. The weekend before everything happened (the stay-at-home order), I started to keep a low profile, refrained from going to the store, and just started being cautious. In your third trimester, you have to start going to the doctor every two weeks—and I had heard, based on what was happening in New York, that there was a chance your significant other may not be able to be there for your appointments. But since I hadn’t heard anything from my doctor, I remained hopeful. We went to my next appointment, and once we arrived, they told my husband that he couldn’t come in. I thought, This is serious. And what does that mean for me? This is my first child.

But eventually, he was able to come to the appointments once they had screenings (such as temperature checks) set up. I felt lucky to have a doctor who was allowing significant others—I had friends who were expecting who had to FaceTime their significant others during their appointments.

Another thing I was worried about was delivering without my husband there—I had heard about women having to deliver their baby alone, or even talking about having home births. It definitely brought up a lot of anxiety and sleepless nights.

My doctor told me that things were changing by the day, and finally he was able to assure me that I wouldn’t have to deliver my baby alone, if I tested negative for COVID-19.

 

Family Ties

At the beginning of the pandemic, I was just starting to show. When I was far along, my family couldn’t come and see me. Our moms, sisters, and best friends would like to have felt the baby kick, or see me pregnant (in person), but they couldn’t. Also, I wanted to have a baby shower—that couldn’t happen either. My family did put together a “drive-by” baby shower. It was nice to at least say hi and bye to everybody.

I didn’t leave the house, other than going to the doctor, until early June. I’m very lucky that my husband was working from home. He also carried the burden of running all the errands, doing all the grocery shopping.

Delivery Day

The day I was admitted to the hospital, one of the first things they did was test me for coronavirus. I was induced, and my husband couldn’t come into the room for about an hour—I had to have my tests and IV done.

Except for when my husband and I were alone in the room, I had to wear a mask the whole time, even while delivering my daughter, and I had a 37-hour labor. My mind was so focused on pushing, and after a while you’re hot, but I didn’t have a hard time breathing with it on. It did feel constraining, and I felt smothered by it at times because I had to wear it for so long. After I delivered my baby, I was able to take it off to kiss her and talk to her. So I was able to have that moment.

Normally, significant others can leave the hospital and come back, but my husband was confined to my room the entire time. He couldn’t go to the cafeteria, or out to the car if he forgot something. We packed up practically my entire house to prepare, to make sure he had food, snacks, clothes. Being in there as long as we were, he was definitely getting tired of the hospital.

 

What Other Mothers Should Know

Find that community of mothers who have given birth during the pandemic and have this discussion with them. It was hard for me. At the time, some people didn’t understand why I was being so cautious. Do what’s right for you and your family, and don’t allow anyone else to dictate that.

Amanda Thomas anticipated the typical nerves of a first-time pregnancy: wondering about the labor, the long nights, and the health of her baby. What she didn’t anticipate was giving birth during a global pandemic. “All moms are anxious about germs and the safety of their new babies, but the pandemic makes things a little scarier.”

As part of a long list of safety measures from the hospital, only one person is allowed to be with her—her husband, Dalton. While some women may miss sharing the experience with more family members in the room, Thomas finds some comfort in the policy. “There’s a lot of pressure on new parents because everyone wants to see the baby, but it can be a lot to navigate,” she says. “In a way, the pandemic has helped me realize it’s okay to set boundaries and do things in our own time.”

And though it won’t be the birthing experience she anticipated, she has found a lot of strength in knowing that many others are going through the same thing: “Wearing a mask during labor and dealing with the unknown of COVID-19 makes us pretty badass.”
