I had gallbladder removed. My surgery coordinator "Pricilla" was amazing! In stressful times like this having someone that lightens your load by contacting your primary care physician, ordering test and coordinating with the surgery room and surgeon with all the patients in the world. She took care of everything. I am so grateful read more

My son was admitted a few days ago from the ER with severe back pain from 3 bulging discs. All was well until he was seen by their house Psychiatrist, Dr. Calicka, who is an infamous 80+ year old witch that no one can believe still practices (read her reviews). The next thing we know is he's released, without any treatment or physical therapy, all of which were promised. He left in severe pain using a walker. His Med-I-Cal Is pending so that could also be the reason. read more

I concur with the sentiments expressed in the majority of the reviews. My friend composed a letter addressed to the nurses' station and to "my experience" Adventist Health Organization, requesting to be added as a contact person for her hospitalized husband, in accordance with HIPAA regulations. She was initially added, but subsequently removed. They did not reach out to her until they were unable to reach her sister-in-law for several days. The individual my friend spoke with from Adventist Health indicated that she would be permitted to stay overnight with her husband. This was the second occasion she had prepared with the expectation of being with her husband. When she intended to stay, the charge nurse informed her that she could not. The ICU charge nurse on March 9, 2026, at 7:45 p.m., stated that individuals are allowed to stay if they believe the patient will pass away within a few hours. I inquired if he believed the patient would live beyond three hours. The nurse conveyed that, he himself is in good health, an unforeseen passing remains a potential outcome. I found this statement to be quite sarcastic and lacking in empathy. The sister-in-law and wife declined to leave, asserting that someone else had informed them they could stay. The charge nurse expressed that the individual who provided that information was uneducated. To summarize, the patient passed away approximately an hour and a half after visiting hours. Had they departed, the patient would have passed without his wife and sister by his side. The charge nurse's assessment regarding the patient's prognosis of living beyond three hours was inaccurate. read more

Adventist Health Glendale - West Tower Entrance Closed 8 p.m. - 5 a.m. - Medical Centers Near Me - Glendale, California

The quality of care in the East towers patient rooms is unmatched. Are they busy? Yes. Is it hectic at times? Of course. Name a hospital that is not. Mary, Maddie and Chris the charge nurse went above and beyond and answered all my questions and concerns while I was in their care. They deserve all the recognition and awards Adventist Health Glendale are able to bestow upon them! Thanks again! read more

Quite unhelpful here. Doctors don't return phone calls or literally help in anyway. I can't get responses or printouts or anything that will help us navigate through the healthcare system. Actual care from my view point is they CAN do a much better job. My aunt hasn't been fed through her feeding tube for two days when she shouldn't have had to starve at all. I'm disappointed at this place but we have no alternative at this junction. So we have to hope and pray that they are going to do better. read more

The staff is terrible. I've been waiting for over two hours and they still haven't checked me in. They don't care that I'm pregnant.

Adventist Health Glendale - From my angio - Medical Centers Near Me - Glendale, California

This is a long overdue love letter to the ER doctor and nurses that were working on 2/10/2024, who saved my child's life. Last year, my 10 year old son developed an ear infection. When he initially complained about ear pain, I gave him some over-the-counter homeopathic ear drops. He said they helped, and didn't mention anything again until a couple days later on a Friday. I asked him if he thought he could make it to school, and he said yes. So I gave him some childrens Advil & sent him to school. That night, he was sleepy & I could tell he didn't feel well, but he didn't have a fever, so I gave him Advil again and told him I'd take him to urgent care in the morning. The next morning, he woke up and said he had a headache. I asked if he wanted to go to urgent care, but he said he wanted to sleep some more. I gave him Advil yet again, and let him sleep, thinking his body was naturally fighting off whatever was ailing him. He still had no fever & no other symptoms. A couple hours later, I went to check on him, and found him pale as a ghost, clammy, disoriented, & in/out of consciousness. I called 911 immediately and Glendale Fire Dept showed up. They downplayed & mishandled the entire interaction. By the time they arrived, I was sitting on my front stoop with my son. They took his vitals & started asking me really stupid questions, like: "is this unusual for him?" Then they asked me if I WANTED to go to the ER. I said "I think we have to." Then they asked if I wanted to drive him myself. When they finally did begin the drive to the ER, they drove a normal pace, never turning on their lights. My mom followed behind & had no issues keeping up with the ambulance. I actually started to think I might be overreacting. But the second they wheeled my son into the ER, the doctor began screaming at them that my son was in duress. She said "this child does not look okay!!" It was evident whatever was being relayed to the ER by the firemen was downplaying his symptoms. Once inside, they began testing my son. They immediately ordered antibiotics, and then sent him in for a CT scan, at which point, my son lost consciousness. I cannot tell you the helpless feeling of watching your child motionless on a hospital bed, with medical staff rushing in and out around him, poking his arm for blood, running tests, and talking in code in hushed worried voices. During this excruciating time, the head nurse asked me my name. I wish I could remember hers, because she was a literal angel. She talked to me that day like I was her best friend - with a comfort & support that only a best friend can. She was gentle & loving with my son, and put my hysterical mama mind at ease. Meanwhile, the lovely lady doctor stepped out of the room at one point, where she sternly demanded the pharmacy get my son's antibiotics to them NOW. Then went so far as to send one of the staff members running to/from the pharmacy to get them even faster. Next thing you know, my son got the dose of antibiotics, & we were whisked off in another ambulance to Children's Hospital, where my son was admitted to the Pediatric ICU. Once there, they performed a spinal tap, & discovered my son had bacterial meningitis. He stayed at Children's for 2 weeks, where he made a full & complete recovery with no lasting longterm effects, which I have NO DOUBT was thanks to the fast acting response of his doctor & nurse at Adventist Health Glendale ER. I will forever be grateful to those two beautiful souls who saved my baby!!! read more

Terrible experience. I was treated as if I had no right to privacy over my personal information or documents. My personal papers, which included my own notes, were taken from me through deception. A person sitting at the front of the radiology clinic on the basement level presented himself as a facility employee and took my documents, promising to return them after my X-rays were completed. When I returned, he was gone. The person who replaced him had no idea who I was talking about or where my documents were. Later, I was told that the individual who took my papers was not an employee at all, but a student. No one knew his name or where he was, and there was no real effort to investigate the situation. When I asked to speak to a manager, someone named Tina came out. She admitted the person was a student but refused to give me his name. Eventually, the student reappeared and claimed he never said he would return my documents, only other paperwork--which is completely untrue. This entire situation was chaotic, stressful, and lasted about an hour. Only after a supervisor became involved did I finally get my documents back. This was a serious breach of trust and privacy. I will never return to this facility. read more

Who does the hiring...seriously read these reviews and you wonder if the people who hire have any clue what they are doing. The male nurse on floor 3 is overbearing, lacks compassion, loud as f:$;@ and treats his patients like toddlers. My friend who's experiencing heart failure in his 90's was cold and this jack ass nurse took his blankets away. He also talked extremely loud to him...agism? What? cause he looks old and feeble you think he can't understand you bro?! I'm so angry. I literally asked him to put the blankets back on him and he said he took it off cause he wanted my friend to wake up for his visitors. He's barely hanging onto life dude! What the hell is wrong with the staff here?!?! Go somewhere else with your loved ones!! Crappy room, loud nurses and no common sense. read more

My experience with Adventist Health has been very meh. Their network of doctors is already limited, which makes it hard to find quality care. But even worse, they knowingly attempted to double charge me for services that are fully covered under my insurance. They tried to bill me an extra $600 on top of what my insurance had already paid in full. Make sure you take odd bills directly to your insurance provider because this medical group aims to scam. This feels dishonest and exploitative, especially from a healthcare provider that people rely on in vulnerable times. Patients deserve transparency and integrity in billing, not surprise charges or attempts to collect money that isn't owed. read more

One-year update: Our loved one is doing very well! There are two things I forgot to mention in my original post. Dr. Seropyan pressured our family into hospice care, stating that "It would be too hard for us to take care of her yourselves" and that "She was going to progressively decline." Our loved one has gotten significantly better, and we are able to care for them at home. I believe a doctor's recommendations should be grounded in objective medical facts, not personal assessments of a family's capabilities. Whether a loved one is placed in hospice or is brought home should always be the family's decision, and I think it is inappropriate for a doctor (and for the hospice team) to pressure a family with multiple hospice visits, phone calls, and texts. A physical therapist attempted to force my loved one to perform exercises when she was clearly too fatigued and unwell to do so. Despite my loved one's inability to comply and her obvious signs of distress, the therapist persisted in the attempt for several minutes before discontinuing the session. read more

I am so disappointed in this hospital ER! Took my child in for severe stomach pain at 1:30 am and we waited for hours and no one would see her!! There were other children there who needed to be seen and not an ounce of care for any of them. Some had been waiting for 5 hours!! I am so disgusted! A child in pain should always be priority. Anyhow we left and my poor child had to come home crying that no one would see her. I'll be taking her to urgent care tomorrow. This hospital has literally gone downhill! It is not what it used to be. What a shame! read more

Okay let's get into this! I went in for my induction at 39 weeks on a Wednesday I had many nurses but the night I gave birth I had be most amazing RN I've ever come across . Her name is Odessa she was a travel nurse who I happened to get that night. She stayed with me all night she was able to help turn my baby. I can't express my gratitude enough the hospital staff was amazing and attentive. My baby was taken such good care of and myself. To odessa if you see this. I'm extremely grateful for you and we need more nurses like you! read more

Time is crucial when having a stroke. Found my husband on the floor called 911 immediately,they were at my house in 15 min. There stroke center was 20 min away. By the time he got to ER he was out of his TIA transient ischemic attack. Dr said he can go into a second stroke at any time.take CT scan make sure it's not a brain bleed so he can be administered DAPT to prevent another stroke.then all the Dr left the floor and one ER nurse remained. Finally one hour later the technician who did not speak English wheel him to CT scan. On his the way to the CT scan he went into the second stroke but no Dr no nurse was found. When I told the tecIh he was having a stroke she just said calmly "I know I know".not understanding. I went into shock wondering the halls looking fora Dr and ER none of the staff I passed would help me and I was even crying. Finally I found it and finally they wheeled him back to ER. The one nurse was busy helping half a dozen people n ER. No Dr to be found I finally yelled in the middle of the floor"He's having another Stroke" the nurse came and called Dr to come. By this time ONE HOUR had passed since his second stroke. 2 million brain neurons,14 billion synapsis, and 8.5 miles of mylienated fiber die per minute. My husband lost the right hemisphere of his brain controlling his left side. And was in rehab at there hospital for three months.if he had been treated quickly he would have been probably normal. When I confronted the Dr angry about what happened and I had proof of the time table because I called my personal Dr when this was happening. They changed the times on the report chart, so no wrongful claims could be made against the Dr and Adventist Health Glendale Hospital. And just think how much money they made from Medicare bill!! read more

Very unsafe so many weird people there . The chubby security guard was sleeping. With headphones (pretty sure glasses too) on east tower. I woke him up. And he got frustrated. Maybe dont hire weak security especially short tubby ones . This is truly dangerous these people are meant to protect us. Not sleep on the job. Im saying this cuz i entered the building without anyone confronting me practically snuck in .Not only that the environment of workers were rude and nasty. Go somewhere else not this homeless shelter. read more

Stay away form here. Do not go here if you want to be treated promptly. I was there from 4am to 10am and did not get anything out of the visit. This is not a 24 hour emergency room. They're open 24 hours, but you'll be waiting until nurses/technicians arrive (around 7am). Once they call you in, you'll have to explain your pain, then they have you wait for another hour until another technician will arrive and you'll have to explain yourself again. Every step takes about an hour to 2 hours in between. Take an X-ray, wait another hour, blood sample, another hour. They don't explain processes-they'll just stick you with a needle to take your blood without an explanation, try to stick you with a painkiller without consent/an explanation of what they're injecting you with. Then you'll look forward to a bill of $9,188.00 (says insurance covers -$6,721.00), and I'm still having to pay $2,467.00-not sure for what, because I was not diagnosed with anything and was told to just go see a cardiologist. That's not the $2,467 answer I want to hear. They do not care to treat their patients, and only interested in your money. Don't waste your time and money. Believe the 1 star reviews and find a better urgent care. read more

Register Nurse KANCHANA SHOULD BE WRITTEN UP . That's works in E.R ROOM MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT I am submitting a formal report regarding the conduct of Registered Nurse Kanchana at [Hospital Name] on November 18 at approximately 3:00 AM. I visited the Emergency Department for a severe anxiety attack. After the attending physician prescribed an oral medication, the nurse had the pill in her possession but delayed administering it for about 90 minutes, despite my visible distress. During this time, she called in multiple other patients, ignored my condition, and made comments implying she needed to "deal with another customer" first. She further postponed the medication until after an albuterol breathing treatment, even though the therapy can increase heart rate and worsen anxiety. A respiratory therapist confirmed that this delay was inappropriate. This conduct may violate several provisions of the American Nurses Association (ANA) Code of Ethics, including: * Provision 1: Obligation to treat patients with compassion, respect, and dignity * Provision 2: Primary commitment to the patient's well-being * Provision 3: Duty to advocate for patient safety and prevent harm * Provision 4: Accountability to follow timely and appropriate physician orders * Provision 5: Responsibility to maintain professional behavior and uphold nursing standards The delay in administering a prescribed medication during an active anxiety episode may constitute negligence, failure to follow physician orders, unprofessional conduct, and failure to prioritize patient safety. I respectfully request that the Board review this incident and determine whether the nurse's actions require corrective action, training, or disciplinary measures. Thank you for your attention to this matter To Whom It May Concern, I am submitting a formal complaint regarding a serious incident that occurred during my Emergency Department visit on November 18 around 3:00 AM. I was treated for a severe anxiety attack, and during this visit, Registered Nurse Kanchana behaved in a manner that I believe violated basic standards of nursing practice and patient care. After the physician prescribed an oral medication, Nurse Kanchana had the pill in her possession but refused to administer it, stating she needed to assist another patient. Despite my visible distress, she proceeded to call in two additional patients and made me wait approximately 90 minutes before giving me the medication. A respiratory therapist even expressed concern, acknowledging this delay was inappropriate--especially since the medication should have been administered before my albuterol treatment, not after. This behavior appears inconsistent with the ANA Code of Ethics, including: * Provision 1: Respect for the inherent dignity and worth of every patient * Provision 2: Nurse's primary commitment is to the patient * Provision 3: Promotion of patient safety and prevention of harm * Provision 4: Authority and responsibility to follow timely, appropriate clinical judgment Delaying a physician-ordered medication for over an hour while a patient is experiencing active anxiety constitutes potential neglect, unprofessional conduct, and failure to prioritize patient safety. I request: 1. A full investigation 2. A written explanation 3. A formal apology 4. Corrective action or retraining if appropriate I expect a prompt response from management. read more

Signage does not exist in t.he West Parking structure. Along with other lost souls I spent a great deal of time up and down stairs trying to locate the exit to the West Tower, Finally stumbled upon an exit no where near the west tower entrance. Had to hike up the hill. After my procedure I discovered a causeway that easily led to parking lot elevators. No where did it indicate how to pay for parking. Machine or attendant. Again trial and error. read more

Never ever go to this hospital or anyone associated with this hospital! Loved my experience with the actual doctor, but this hospital will find ways to over charge you. I got charged double for a lab test that I didn't consent to. When I asked why it was double they said "the first test didn't work so we had to do it again". Mind you, I didn't even know that I was getting the test done. The people that worked with this hospital literally told me to avoid them as much as I can. I ignored them cuz I figured I was in network and it would make things easier to get everything done at the same place. So I tried to get a ultrasound here, and when I finally was getting set up for an appointment I asked how much it was going to be with my IN NETWORK insurance and it was going to be over $1000. Got it done somewhere else for less that $150. Spent months trying to figure out claims and to fix the issue on my bill, but they made it so difficult I ended up just taking the L and paying for the test I never even asked for. read more

Worst hospital you can possibly go to they have 500 bed hospital and they say the ER and the rooms are full that is the biggest lie. More than half is empty they don't have doctors or nurses and the ones they have don't care this is my own experience of being admitted 2 times in December read more

We've been here 5 days and still no definitive diagnosis. We've had several wrong diagnoses. No coordination between the specialty docs (or should I say, NPs, since that's who we seem to see more than actual board certified physicians). For hours we have been trying to ask a nurse or anybody else how we get transferred to a hospital that can give us the information that we need to make a life or death decision. The ER was great. Two of the floor RNs are very good. Two are not. We're about ready to AMA and go to Huntington. read more

This hospital is scamming people for money. I refused care after reading their reviews about erroneously charging people. I was so scared they'd charge me even though I didn't receive any care that I requested to speak with a social worker about my rights as a patient. They assured me that I wouldn't be charged anything. Lo and behold, they charged my insurance $3000 for who knows what, and sent a debt collections agency after me for charges on top of that. I'm working right now to fight it. This hospital is disgusting. Please do not give them your money and go somewhere else. read more

This is a review for the ER. I made this mistake of coming here because Kaiser' ER was too far. I was the first person in the waiting room at around 530ish am and was there till 8:30 am (3 hours) The first red flag is when they gave me a urine cup with no wipe and without a label with my name. They asked me to put my cup in a bin with somebody else's specimen. I said 'doesn't my cup need a label so it doesn't get mixed up with somebody elses? This ER is completely inefficient, zero system, unorganized. For the pain I was in they ordered me Motrin - after I said my pain level was a 10 (and I've given birth) I have Motrin at home! When I said I needed something stronger they said ok we'll have to put in a new order to the pharmacy. Two hours later I finally got a pain shot. It really felt like the nurses couldn't care less, taking their time, shooting the breeze with other colleagues in the hallways. I am so glad I switched to Kaiser and I will never come here again. This place doesn't care. You feel that. The absolute worst. read more

I had no qualms to have Dr Scott Lee as my ortho surgeon of choice from the other 2 that I had previously seen before to perform spinal surgery on me last June 14, 2024. It was the very poor quality of care and service that makes my head spin. No amenity welcome kit. I have to ask for a toothbrush, toothpaste, mouth wash, lotion, extra cup, etc: When I asked for a face towel, I was given a bunch of towels stuff inside a pillowcase placed on my bed next to my head. Beddings and hospital gown was not changed on a daily basis. I was informed on the second night that the pharmacy was out on one of my prescription meds that I take 3x a day. Before I went for my surgery I called my insurance and was reassured that my plan covered unlimited medically hospital stays. On my second night I was told that I will be discharge the next day, a Sunday without Dr Lee seeing or checking on me. I told the nurse I was still in intense pain and having a hard time going and getting out of bed but was flatly ignored. I even asked if any of them had talked to Dr Lee and what his reason was for my early discharge and I got a cold shoulder. The late evening arrival of my walker was my - "saving grace" from early discharge. Monday, June 17th. . . feeling so filthy from the 3 nights with no any sponge bath from any of the staff I ask the nurse if she can watch me bathe before my discharge. She raised her voice and said. "me"? She told me it should be my physical therapist and not her. When my PT arrived I ask if she can and she told me it's the hospital responsibility not them. They were pointing fingers. The female CNA that day was nice to bathe me. My shoutout to her. Due to the stress and anxiety from what had happened during my hospital stay, the afternoon of the next day (June 18th) my incision had some bleeding/discharged that my husband had to drive me back to the hospital ER. Now I know why a relative of mine who works here bluntly told me, why not have my surgery at UCLA or Cedars. read more

Adventist Health Glendale likes to talk a big game about "patient care," but behind the scenes it's a toxic, hostile, and completely mismanaged environment. The culture here is one of favoritism, profiling, and intimidation. Instead of providing care, leadership (especially the Radiology Director) creates an environment where people are singled out, humiliated, and pushed out. It's a place where good people burn out, while management covers for bad behavior and pretends it's all about "safety." As a patient, you should know this: when staff are treated badly, patient care suffers. Rude, dismissive attitudes, constant gossip, and even discriminatory behavior happen right out in the open especially toward anyone who isn't Armenian or cliquish. Patients and families are openly rude, staff enable it, and leadership does nothing. Anyone who dares to speak up are punished, while those causing the problems stay. That should tell you everything you need to know about their priorities. The director cares more about appearances than substance. Instead of fostering professionalism, they tolerate (and sometimes encourages) an atmosphere where bullying, bias, and disrespect thrive. If you value respectful, compassionate care, look elsewhere. Security is also racist, unprofessional, and clearly lacking any training in how to treat people with basic human dignity. Instead of protecting patients and visitors, they go out of their way to profile and harass. Management turns a blind eye, and when concerns are raised, they're brushed aside like they never happened. Patients deserve better. Staff deserve better. Glendale Adventist needs to take a long hard look at its leadership because right now, it's failing everyone. The culture here is rotten from the top down. Bottom line: this place fails at basic respect. If you value fairness, equity, or professionalism, avoid at all costs. read more

I had a brutal episode of kidney stones and, against my better judgment, feeling kinda helpless I ended up here to "get treated." One of my former clients, I had always regarded GAMC as one of the best in LA. The waiting room was packed--about twenty people scattered around, including some guy passed out in the corner with a styrofoam container of Chinese food, its greasy scent thick in the air. When they finally called me back, I wasted no time asking the physician's assistant the real question: Do I actually need to be here, or should I just tough it out and go home? "No, you should definitely get checked out," she said. She was nice, frankly she seemed just as trapped as I was. Fine. So, in excruciating pain, I waddled back to my familiar chair and waited. About thirty minutes later, I got a CT scan--quick, maybe ten minutes max. And then? Nothing. Six hours of nothing. At some point, I passed out in my chair, slumped over in pain and exhaustion. When I finally felt a tap on my shoulder, I opened my eyes to a woman staring down at me. "Do you wanna pay?" I blinked. "Did you seriously just wake me up to ask if I want to pay?" She didn't even flinch, just stared back at me with these empty eyes, indifferent, like I was livestock. At that point, I was done. I walked over to the nurse and asked if we could wrap this up so I could go home. My pain was still there but had dulled from roaring to just faint misery. I was tired and now angry. By now, the waiting room was nearly empty. And yet, at no point had they offered me a bed or even a shred of human decency. Just "do you wanna pay"? And that's what gets me the most--American healthcare is expensive as hell, yet they treat you like an animal. It's like I'm paying a premium to stand in line at a welfare office. With the cost of this "care" I could have gotten a nice room at the Four Seasons and probably healed from just pure ambiance. Never again. Next time I'll go to Huntington Hospital, I might wait six hours but atleast I'll be treated like a human being. read more

I just want to say the biggest THANK YOU! to an amazing team of professionals who helped me and cared for me during the scariest time of my life! Especially to nurses, who were so attentive and kind during the days I was in a hospital. I read couple of reviews and were amazed by how many of them are about little, insignificant things, like a blanket, food or staff was not friendly enough.. This is not Ritz-Carlton, people! Let's get some perspective - they are saving our lives here! They work hard. They are tired. But still, they do the best they can. And once they done helping you and discharge you - then you can go to a good restaurant and sleep on a silky pillow:) Why would someone flood the page with one-star reviews about pillows and food is beyond me. Ok, the rant is over, I just want to add that everyone was so compassionate and kind to me, gently woke me up at night for all my treatments and blood works and even took notice about my food preferences (I don't eat meat and dairy), so I got meals with fish, vegetables and soy milks and yogurts. Plus, they allowed outside food, so I had my sweets and favorite tea, which made my stay as comfortable as possible in that situation. So again, I thank everyone who is working so hard to help people during their worst times! You are amazing! p.s. Brought some flowers to my wonderful day and night nurses after I fully recovered. This is your sign to appreciate more and show your appreciation, too! read more

Please ensure that Registered Nurse Hasmik is not assigned to your patient. She was extremely rude, did not explain any procedures or medications, and touched the patient and surrounding items while wearing dirty gloves, which is a serious hygiene concern. She argued with the patient and visitors and caused distress. She touched the patient's pills with dirty gloves and forced the patient to take the pills. She repeatedly told the patient, "I am not coming to help you anymore. You do not deserve my help." She is at West 4 floor in section they keep people who had stroke and seizures. She was also yelling at hallway at the visitor which is very unprofessional, Based on experience, she has already hurt multiple people through her careless behavior. If you care about your family member's safety, do not allow her to be near your patient. For identification, she is approximately 5'4 5'6", with short black hair and an accent. She appeared to lack the necessary skills, professionalism, and concern for patient care. This level of behavior is unacceptable in a healthcare setting and hygiene concern. Please be careful who you trust. Under California health care regulations (including Title 22 and standard infection control requirements), medical staff are required to follow strict hygiene and sanitation practices to protect patient safety. Failure to change gloves and maintain cleanliness places patients at risk and is unacceptable in a clinical setting. read more

I have gone to their ER a few times in the past few years, hoping I would get better treatment than the last. I live so close, so it's so convenient. But the ER disappointment. They want to get you out FAST. And the level of care is a joke. There is no care. They sent me away after I'd gone there to have a persistent rash examined and told me the ER is only for emergencies like heart attack and so on. I was appalled by this nurse practitioner's behavior making me feel like they couldn't, (or just wouldn't) help me. Disgusting. I posted this review on Google, and I got this reply to my review: "Response from the owner 2 weeks ago Hi, we would appreciate the opportunity to work with you directly regarding this review. Could you please reach out to us at myexperience@ah.org at your earliest convenience? Thank you." That's not helpful at all, since that website is not specific to the Glendale location. The owner? I find that hard to believe. read more

I brought my mother to Glendale Adventist with a confirmed broken wrist and a displaced humeral neck fracture, X-rays in hand from urgent care. The moment we arrived, the experience was beyond disappointing. A nurse came up to us and asked what we wanted them to do--as if I had a medical degree or came to the ER for fun. We were left waiting over 5 hours, during which time my mother was in excruciating pain with no real care or urgency shown. After all that time, they finally gave her pain medication--but no doctor ever came to speak to us, and staff kept saying they had "no updates" from the doctor. The staff were unhelpful, dismissive, and clearly overwhelmed or uninterested. I've never experienced such a lack of empathy or professionalism in a hospital. If you are in a real emergency, this is the last place I would recommend. Absolutely unacceptable. read more

My mother was admitted to Adventist Health Glendale on June 1, 2025, for pneumonia. After a short stay, she was discharged by Dr. Minas Melidonian with a prescription for antibiotics. For reasons that can only be described as gross negligence, he prescribed her only four pills, yes, when the instructions were clearly for a 5-day course, one pill every 8 hours. Anyone with even the most basic medical training (or common sense!) knows that's supposed to be 15 pills total. Instead, my mom got less than a third of the dosage she needed. Unsurprisingly, after her last pill, her symptoms came roaring back. She was rushed back to the hospital two days later. This time, she never came home. She passed away in the same hospital where Dr. Minas Melidonian incompetence began this nightmare. The arrogance, the lack of attention to detail, and the utter disregard for patient safety displayed by this man is beyond comprehension. This wasn't a minor oversight, this was a fatal error that cost my family everything. Dr. Minas Melidonian should not be practicing medicine. His carelessness is dangerous, his judgment is appalling, and I wouldn't trust him to treat a paper cut. read more
