About four weeks ago, Claire noticed a large white spot on the roof of our son Jasper’s mouth—about the size of a nickel. She stuck her finger in there, tried to see if it was food or one of the many nonsensical objects that naturally migrate into childrens’ mouths.
It didn’t budge. She brought him to me in a panic. I tried to get my finger in there to dislodge it. Felt hard, but didn’t budge or rub off. Over the next few days, family and friends tried. This white spot was part of him.
With a child at Jasper’s stage of development—nine months old, eight teeth, strong jaw, and strong opinions about adults prodding their fingers in his face—it was hard to get a great look at it without him properly freaking out, wailing, biting, calling the cops. We managed to make him laugh, and snapped a blurry pic. Sent it to everyone we knew. A flurry of Google searches revealed he had at least a few dozen diseases.
My dad, a retired dentist who over 50 years saw almost every form of mouth trauma, was stumped. He showed it to other dentists. All of them, baffled. Was it exposed bone? A malformed palate? My dad said he “didn’t think it was malignant, because there’s no inflammation around the edges.” He was right. Jasper’s mouth was just a normal pink little baby mouth. And he remained happy, content, active, never complained when he ate or stuck a remote control in his mouth.
I have a natural optimism. I tend to not freak out until a few independent sources suggest I should lose it. “It’ll probably go away in a couple days,” I offered.
It didn’t go away. The “what ifs” started to eat holes in us. Claire made an appointment with an ear-nose-throat (ENT) specialist. They could see Jasper a week later. That week was a terrible week. Each time Jasper laughed you’d see that spot. So every time he laughed it was an awful mix of joy and terror.
The first ENT specialist was stumped; said he’d never seen anything like it in all his years. He suggested Jasper get an MRI and a CT scan immediately. Claire had a pretty strong hell-no reaction to that advice. She was not going to radiate our son without a second opinion.

So we went to Rady’s, one of the best children’s hospitals on the planet. The ENT there was fantastic, but he was also stumped. He managed to get his finger in there before being bit, said it merely felt like the roof of Jasper’s mouth. But it wouldn’t budge and no part of it came off when scratched or prodded. Without causing the child undue stress, the best solution was to put Jasper under anesthesia to let the doctors get a good look at it, have it biopsied.
We agreed. At some point, you have to trust the smartest person in the room. Another stretch of days passed between then and the procedure. Each day, Claire aged 27 years. On the day of his procedure, it had been three weeks since this terrible white spot first entered our lives. The nurses and staff were kind and helpful, seemed to intuitively know how to prevent parents from free-falling into madness. We watched as nurses wheeled him into the operating room, which cratered us.
In the waiting room, I saw the other families. Nothing puts your own minor concerns into perspective like standing in the waiting room of a children’s hospital; some families here were going through things I don’t believe I could ever have the emotional fortitude to withstand.
After about ten minutes, the nurse emerged. The doctor was ready to see us. We were ushered into a consultation room. Longest few minutes of our lives. Finally, the doctor entered. He placed a specimen jar on the table. Inside, I could see the white spot.
“It’s a sticker,” he says.
Like a Scratch n Sniff. Or one that identifies “this apple is Gala.” It was the best sticker in the world. One that could fuse in a wet environment, and despite a very active young tongue wiggling about—managed to adhere perfectly to Jasper’s mouth and would not relinquish its job. After weeks of chewing and drinking, it didn’t even dissolve. Even if we had known it was a sticker, we would have had to put Jasper under, because, the doctor said, “it was stuck so well I had to pry it out a bit—it took some work.”
At the news, I start to laugh uncontrollably. The sheer relief. I look at Claire. She gives me a look that clearly states the time for laughing has not yet arrived. I cease and desist.
Later, in the car, she says, “I turned 100 today.”
Jasper was a little tired for the rest of the day, but fine and sticker-free. The next morning, completely happy and his normal self.
The point of this story is, at every step in this process, I was comforted by one thing. As a native San Diegan, seeing the national rankings and reports come out every year—I just know San Diego has some of the best doctors on the planet. Rady’s, Scripps, Palomar, Sharp, UCSD, Kaiser, Tri-City, docs with private practices. At every turn of this emotional roller coaster, I knew that Jasper’s health was safest right here.
The point of this story is also to say there is a sticker company we should all invest in—or burn to the ground.

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 747 physicians in 98 specialties.In a synchronized effort, SDCMS confirmed every individual nominee’s Medical Board of California licensing and current practicing status. Through this exhaustive process, 747 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.)I must point out that 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 2022 Top Doctor selectees,Toluwalasé (Lasé) Ajayi, M.D.President 2022-2023, San Diego County Medical Society

San Diego is a hotbed of medical trials, which often unearth the future of medicine. Here are the big ones being tested right now.

For those with an arm or a mouth to spare, San Diego scientists are in need. They’re armed with pills and injections that may contain the future of healthcare, the big breakthrough. They may protect people from a virus like Covid-19, treat a disease such as diabetes, or offer insight into the next steps toward a cancer cure.
“The advances of tomorrow will come from clinical trials being conducted today,” says Dr. Thomas Buchholz, chief scientific officer at Scripps Health. This city is a hot spot for clinical trials, a vital component of medical research. At least 2,400 are currently underway in the San Diego region, testing treatments for conditions ranging from psoriasis to phantom limb pain. That’s 7 percent of all active clinical trials in the nation.
“San Diego has a robust portfolio of trials, largely due to the excellence of our health care systems and the strength of our scientific and biotechnology communities,” says Dr. Buchholz. In fact, pharmaceutical companies turned to hundreds of San Diegans to test five Covid-19 vaccines that are now authorized for use around the world: Moderna, Pfizer-BioNTech, AstraZeneca, Johnson & Johnson/Janssen, and Novavax.
Being a part of the future has its pros and cons. Subjects often get paid, and they may gain access to cutting-edge treatments. But experimental medications may not work as well as existing drugs or cause serious side effects. In many trials, some patients get placebos instead of real medications. This is a routine part of the process to determine whether there’s any benefit to the drugs, but it may leave sick patients without a treatment that turns out to be effective.
Despite the risks, clinical trials attract participants who hope to help usher in a healthier future. And in some cases, clinical trials are the best option for patients with life-threatening diseases. “Some cancers become resistant to the standard approaches, and clinical trials can offer the greatest hope in this setting,” says Buchholz.
Here’s a look at several important clinical trials that are underway in the San Diego region.
Breast Cancer
Can Radiation Treatment Be Shortened?
Scripps MD Anderson Cancer Center is testing whether it’s feasible to adjust the time that certain breast cancer patients require radiation. Subjects will receive the same cumulative radiation dose, but they’ll be randomly assigned to get it over 3 or 5 weeks. Researchers will study how the patients fare and explore whether the shorter treatment period improves their quality of life.
Atrial Fibrillation
Could Surgery Be a Good First Treatment?
People with atrial fibrillation, a kind of irregular heartbeat, typically start treatment by taking blood thinners to prevent clots. But blood thinners can cause bleeding and bruising. At Sharp Chula Vista Medical Center and Scripps Memorial Hospital, cardiologists are recruiting patients to undergo implantation of a Watchman FLX left atrial appendage closure device as a first-line treatment. The device prevents blood clots from escaping a part of the heart where they may form between heartbeats.
Depression
Can Brain Therapy Help Patients Who Can’t Feel Pleasure?
Patients whose depression doesn’t respond to medication often turn to transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), in which short magnetic pulses stimulate nerve cells. UCSD is testing TMS in patients who have depression with anhedonia—an inability to feel pleasure. The goal is to expand personalized medicine, in which patients get treatments that are the ideal options for their specific conditions.
Long Covid
What Does It Mean for Kids and Young Adults?
Rady Children’s and UC San Diego are working to understand how long Covid—wide-ranging symptoms including fatigue, joint pain, headaches, “brain fog,” fever, shortness of breath, anxiety, depression, chronic cough, sleep problems, and more that last beyond infection—is affecting children and young adults up to age 25. The study also hopes to identify more concrete risk factors for developing the condition, the incidence of which is not currently known but is estimated to occur in about 10-30% of people who have had acute Covid-19 infections. Participants do not need to have had Covid-19 or suffered long-term effects after infection to participate in this $1.5 billion, four-year-long nationwide study that is in part funded by the National Institutes of Health.
Exercise
Will Trolley Access Boost Public Health?
UCSD is tracking 465 people who work on the La Jolla campus for over two years in the wake of the opening of a new San Diego Trolley station. The researchers expect they’ll find that access to public transit improves health by boosting well-being, lowering depression, and improving quality of life.
How one of San Diego’s prominent health care centers fought their way through the first days of the pandemic
By Ian Anderson
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.

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.

Juice Holler
West Coast wellness culture meets the community feel of Southern Appalachia at Juice Holler. Juice Holler’s menu consists of made-to-order smoothies and smoothie bowls, as well as grab-and-go cold-pressed juices, wellness shots, salads, and more. It operates from the blissfully simple premise that fueling up with food and drink that’s guilt-free and good your body should be simple, accessible, and, above all else, delicious. And if you haven’t yet made it out to the Encinitas café, which opened just this year, let us be the first to tell you: Juice Holler delivers on each and every of these fronts.
We love the Supercharger smoothie, a mood-lifting and body-fueling option made with banana, almond butter, blue spirulina, maca, grass-fed whey protein, raw cacao nibs, medjool dates, and coconut milk. We’re also partial to the Thrive Alive smoothie bowl, where avocado, mango, sea moss, spirulina, mint, coconut milk, and agave are mixed and topped with coconut, chia seeds, strawberry, mango, and chocolate drizzle. The wellness shots include the Detoxifier, a cleansing blend of kale, cucumber, lemon and spirulina, plus a shot specially designed to fight inflammation (named, fittingly, Anti-Inflammation). Probiotic overnight oats, lemon turmeric bars, and strawberry shortcake chia pudding are other standouts on the grab-and-go menu.
Much of the vibe feels beachy North County chic—think green tile with orange and pink accents, grounded with greenery and natural wood—but Juice Holler founder Kelly Sergott, a longtime Encinitas local, has also enfused the space with her Kentucky roots. In Appalachia, a holler is small valley between hills and mountains, where nature reigns, community is king, and nourishment comes right from the land. At Juice Holler, Sergott has created a holler for the busy modern times, using local ingredients to create a spot for people to come together and enjoy fresh, fast, feel-good fuel for their day.
Everwell Acupuncture
We’ve all had that experience with a medical professional where we’ve felt rushed, ignored, or misunderstood—and ultimately, like we didn’t get the answers that we needed. But at Everwell, the holistic acupuncture practice located in Solana Beach, the care team wants to transform your understanding of what healthcare can look like.
Patients at Everwell experience care rooted in intentional listening and radical empathy—and trust us, those aren’t just corporate buzzwords. This place actually puts those ideas into practice. You will always be given the time you need to tell your story— initial in-take appointments are two hours long—and you can rest assured that your story will be believed. Every single question and concern will be addressed by a dedicated practitioner who wants to find the specific solutions that work best for you, and you’ll receive care that’s aimed at healing the body, mind, and spirit.
Everwell’s highly trained, doctorate-level practitioners blend evidence-based acupuncture with the practice of classical Chinese medicine. (If you’ve never tried acupuncture before or aren’t sure if the team will be a fit, we’d highly recommended Everwell’s complimentary 20-minute consultations.) Research shows that by stimulating specific points on the body, acupuncture activates a natural healing response in the body, helping to restore balance, regulate the nervous system, and improve overall wellbeing. This allows the practice to address an incredibly wide range of conditions from chronic pain and autoimmune disorders to digestive issues, from stress and burnout to headaches migraines, fertility and postpartum struggles, hormonal imbalances, sleep concerns and more.
At Everwell, you can expect to feel heard, trusted, respected, and cared for. This is a space that doesn’t want to be just another healthcare provider you visit; it wants to provide patients with dedicated partner who will be there for their entire health journey.
