Last time i was here was 17 years ago. god Bless the staff and doctors here.
This hospital does not deserve 1 star. I stayed in the Behavioral Health Unit for 8 days. In those 8 days, I got almost no care. I wish I didn't have to write this review, but I want people to know what they're getting into. This is an acute care facility. You will be deemed stable once you take your pills and act "normal." There is no therapy. There is no professional you can really talk to. The staff under the RNs are usually rude. A lot of them talk about patients behind their backs, but in front of other patients. They need to take it to the break room. You're lucky if you can get the nurse in charge of you to talk to you for more than 5 minutes. The psychiatrists go off a script: How are you today? Do you have any questions? I tried to have a conversation with one of the psychiatrists, but all he tried to do was to push me to start some sort of medication (without knowing anything of my medical history). Once I asked to be transferred, he told me we were done here and walked off. After that he tried to gaslight me every time he saw me. Many other patients confided in me that they did not like the way he interacted with them. I had almost all my medication nurses argue with me when I declined the medication. It is my right to decline medication, especially when a medication was hastily chosen. After the 3 day hold, I was put on a 14 day hold, and was never informed. Apart from not being informed that I was on a 14 day hold, it took them 5 days to let see a judge. I have a right to see a judge in 4 days or less. All the Behavioral Health Unit does is glorified babysitting. They made feel incompetent and worthless. The day after I got discharged, I contemplated killing myself with the prescription they gave me for the daft medication they tried to make me take. Luckily, I have one person who kept me from making that choice. I told them I wasn't okay, but it fell on deaf ears. If you need real psychiatric care do not go here or let a loved one go here. This is not the place.
How is this place still open? I thought it was shut down years ago! Unfortunately, an ambulance brought my mom here. I have never seen such a lack of caring and unprofessionalism. Do yourself a favor and stay away.
I was skeptical of the Hospital as I have read all the reviews that the building is old ect., I have to admit that it is not RIGHT to write all these horrible reviews just because the building is old. I was admitted there for my surgery. I was in a few hospitals before but this is the MOST pleasant place I have been. The nurses were extremely nice, the services was simply superb. Anytime I needed help I received it. I was there for a few days and didn't feel like I was in hospital. Thank you Sheila (two nurses same name) the Manager and the Team Lead, for monitoring my low blood pressure and checking on me all the time. Thank you Lynn, Alita, all nurses I might forget name for such amazing care ! Big thank you to anesthesiologist for doing superb job ! Finally special thank you for Doctor Carlos Flores MD for doing fantastic job on my surgery !
I went in the ER the day after my boyfriend went in, so most of the nurses recognized me. They latched onto the fact that I've been experiencing abdominal pain, but completely ignored any of my other problems. They hurriedly did all kinds of tests. After about 2 hours there, a doctor walked in, and told me very loudly that there was nothing wrong with my labs and that there's nothing wrong with me, and walked out without allowing me to ask questions. The nurse that brought me my discharge papers was very short with me and rude. I felt so dehumanized, I've been sick for 3 weeks, and supposedly there's nothing wrong with me. I looked over the papers, they didn't even put any of my allergies down. The papers also said "seek immediate medical attention if you experience dizziness" of which I had been experiencing. I've been to a lot of hospitals in the valley but this is by far the worst. I even called in to complain but it fell on deaf ears.
