I'm not sure why there are negative reviews because, in my opinion, they are so much better than other hospitals in the area.

The majority of the medical staff at this hospital were excellent. The ER nurses--Jessica, Karen,…read moreTiffany, Cathy, and student nurse Lorena--were attentive, kind, and actually listened. Dr. Ryan Shanannan was thorough, professional, and reassuring. On 2 South, Mae, Crystal, and Paige were exceptional--caring, knowledgeable, and clearly dedicated to their patients. Doctors Kim and Dr. C were compassionate, and the surgeon and anesthesiologist communicated clearly and confidently. Here comes the problem!!!!! Now, unfortunately, the complete opposite experience: Elliot from the ER phone line. Rude, dismissive, and completely unhelpful. I asked a straightforward question about possibly speaking with Dr. Shanannan. Instead of listening, he repeated the same irrelevant line about not giving out the doctor's schedule--which I never asked for. It was either a lack of comprehension or a lack of effort--neither is acceptable. When I asked to leave a message, I was told "we don't do that." No explanation. No alternative. Just a dead end. When I confirmed his name, he responded with attitude. When I asked his role, he refused to answer altogether--which raises serious concerns about transparency. Patients shouldn't have to question who they're speaking to when trying to get help. For someone in a frontline role at a hospital, basic communication and professionalism should be the bare minimum. Instead, the interaction felt dismissive and borderline disrespectful. It's disappointing, because one person like this can easily undermine the trust built by an otherwise excellent medical team. The hospital clearly has many outstanding professionals--Elliot is not one of them, clearly Elliot does not have human kindness.

I want to take a moment to recognize the exceptional care I received from Dr. Adrian Huffard during…read moremy recent ER visit. From the moment he entered the room, Dr. Huffard was warm, calm, and genuinely attentive. I came in with a complex and fairly uncommon issue, and instead of brushing it off or rushing through the encounter, he took the time to truly listen to my experience and concerns. He ordered and reviewed my imaging personally, explained his findings clearly, and validated what I was feeling rather than dismissing it. What stood out most was his receptiveness and willingness to go above and beyond: he took the initiative to research this unique specialty in real time so he could communicate with me more accurately and thoughtfully. He also helped me identify and recommended top specialists for appropriate follow-up, which gave me clarity and peace of mind moving forward. I also want to acknowledge the male nurse who assisted during my visit (unfortunately I didn't catch his name). He was professional, kind, and made a stressful situation feel much more manageable. Too often people only leave reviews when something goes wrong. This experience was the opposite. Dr. Huffard exemplifies what patient-centered, competent, and compassionate care should look like. I'm extremely grateful and would not hesitate to recommend him. Sending sincere gratitude, positive health, and continued success to Dr. Huffard, the nursing staff, and all who read this. May your work continue to bring healing and reassurance to many.

This time it was my turn in the ER and it was no different than with my parents. This is a teaching…read morehospital and most of the students/residents are C students at best. As someone with a doctorate as well, I know what base level of critical thinking skills an MD should have. I was dressed like a professor and yet they still treated me like I was an idiot. Actually, maybe they felt threatened knowing that I would see right through their charade. I came in with severe vomiting for four days and I knew it was from a medication I was taking. I wanted to make sure it wasn't pancreatitis as that was a side effect of the medication. My heart rate was a little high from vomiting, not eating and also from an ADHD stimulant. The nurse looking at my heart rate said "ADHD stimulants do not affect heart rate." Are you for real? So they gave me an EKG. The first doctor said it was fine and he wasn't sure why they were holding me. Next a group of 5 somber and patronizing looking doctor/residents approached and said that my EKG was "alarming" and that I had just had a heart attack. I looked at him straight in the eyes and said "No, I didn't. I've been vomiting, that's why everything looks screwed up." Another doctor glared at me and asked me "Do you know how you got diabetes?" with a mocking look on his face. I responded "I sat on the same toilet seat as someone with diabetes." Another kept questioning my medications and why I was taking them. They didn't have the knowledge or critical thinking ability to understand that medications are used for different things including off-label use. Speaking of which, I had to go without one medication for three days because nobody could "find it in the system." Five of the doctors did not know what Rybelsus is. 2 of those 5 didn't know what Semaglutide is and what it's used for. That is disqualifying in my eyes. I easily met 30 different doctor/residents during my time in the ER. Every. single. one. asked the same damn thing over and over and said the same damn thing as the others over and over... right in front of each other! Some of them were fighting with other residents for who got to speak first. It was pathetic. Every resident/doctor in the ER was somber, angry, unsupportive, patronizing and egotistical. They set me off, and I was extremely furious and wasn't taking it from these clowns. I've never spoken to professionals the way that I spoke to these people. Their lack of bedside manner, lack of knowledge and lack of critical thinking skills did not warrant my respect. I was "diagnosed" with the following, by the staff using their Fisher Price doctor kit: - sepsis (nope) - heart attack (nope) - diabetic ketoacedosis (nope) - bad reaction to medication (that's the one!) I was stuck in that hell hole for THREE DAYS to do a series of tests on my heart, ALL of which came back normal. And the kicker? They never even admitted me! So now I am on the hook for "observation" rather than my insurance paying the bill for being admitted. The financial "counselor" offered me a 20% discount if I pay now! What is this? A used car lot? **This entire thing was an insurance scam** and I knew it from the second the residents/doctors overrode the other resident/doctor who said there was nothing wrong with my EKG. Boy is Los Robles already teaching these students to extort money from insurance companies. Good on them I guess. The care in the hospital itself was quite good. Shoutout to Susan/Susie who was a great nurse. There was also one female resident that was amazing and I unfortunately don't know her name. Dr Mehdi was also good. They were the only ones that were worth a damn.
