I wanted to say what a wonderful, caring, and professional experience we had at your Riverside Community Hospital. I am writing on behalf of my Mom, the patient (admitted)3/26-3/30/26), and myself. It was a very scary time for us. My Mom suffers from mild dementia, and luckily, she has not been hospitalized for years. The staff was so kind, professional, warm, and caring that, although it was still scary for her, she felt she was in good hands and felt safe. She met her soul mate in Marlette. That woman went above and beyond to make my mom feel special and cared for. They had a common interest in fashion, and Marlette made sure she connected on such a personal level that my Mom felt she had made a great friend. I felt that way too. Marlette could be very warm and caring and still very professional, a rare skill that is not always demonstrated. For her, I think it comes naturally; it's a true gift. The nurses, Sarv, Lily, Christine, Jill, and I am sure I am forgetting some names, were very good, caring, and professional. The gentleman Daniel, who delivered her food, always had a smile and kind words to say. I do realize these are people's jobs, and it can be easy to get wrapped up in the stress and occasional negativity that often goes with high-stress situations. Your people took the time and energy to treat a scared, confused, elderly woman with deep kindness and respect. Taking the time to learn about her interests and offer words of encouragement. These actions will not be forgotten, and we as a family are very appreciative. read more

I don't think I've ever had a bad experience when coming to the RCH emergency department. Sure there were times where I had to wait longer than usual but they were extremely busy and I get that more serious injuries or illness takes priority. I want to leave a review specifically for this morning. It was not busy at all and I was in and out with an hour tops. Everyone was friendly and genuinely caring. I can't remember everyone's names but the PA was quick and wasted no time putting in my orders for steroids, breathing treatment, and chest xray. The RN promptly gave the medication, following by xray taking me back, ending with respiratory giving me the breathing treatment. All happened with 20 mins of coming through those doors. Thank you for getting me in and out of there promptly so I could get home and rest. read more

Emergency room was really good regarding wait time and care. There are 2 major complaints: enema water was so hot i screamed. After colonoscopy procedure I was left in fecal matter for an extended amout of time with no way to clean it. My sister had to take care of me. My discharge doctor had no knowledge regarding my care or test results. read more

From the moment I checked in to the moment I was discharged, my experience was excellent! Best ER I have ever visited! They are caring and super nice, from getting my X-rays and labs was quick and always checked on me. Offer blanket. The drainage to the absence infection I came in for was very pleasant, dr was patient and gently! Thank you to the best team I have ever experienced read more

I came here to visit a critically ill grandma in the ER department and to get to her was way too complicated than it should have been. Took me over 45 minutes to navigate around the different buildings. It was like staff don't know any buildings other than the one they're stationed in. But...here's my experience by each building: - General Hospital (center building) - two front desk girls (long dark hair and bandana girl) were not exactly helpful. The dark hair girl gave me pretty much no direction, nor offered to walk me anywhere, even though I kept asking specifically for the ER department. Then, once I got to the Emergency Department: - Emergency Services - the security guard in glasses (looked college-aged) was in such a bad mood! I was kindly asking questions and I couldn't hear him because it's outside and it was windy out and asked him to repeat what he said. He then started raising his voice for whatever reason and I had to put on my parent/teacher voice and told him raising his voice was unnecessary and that I was just trying to get to grandma. Eventually he calmed down and gave me a nametag and I was able to walk-in. - Vitals Station at ER Entrance - As I walked into the buidling, there was this blonde RN that was just staring at me in the worst manner possible, like what's your deal. We didn't even interact or anything. Anyway, once I got in to the actual ER Department with the other RNs and doctors, it was like night and day. It was a pretty busy place like all ER departments. but I got to see grandma. The staff was much more friendly there. There was a long wait time for grandma to get a room, but eventually she did and she was moved to the ICU unit upstairs. It was a quiet ward, but the RN there was very empathetic to grandma and had good bedside manner. But I have to review this experience as one hospital and alike many of the other reviews, think Riverside Community needs to work a little more on addressing visitors and patients in a more sympathetic and effective manner. read more

I was admitted after a cardiac arrest. Treatment in ER and ICU was exceptional Floor care was ehh.

Most of the staff is untrained and rude specifically the front desk. Make up rules and power trip for what ever reasons they seem fit. They dont communicate with each other and make up policies as they go. multiple times I was told. "My co workers allow that ?" As if there is a hidden rule not posted or told to anyone including the STAFF never have I seen so many staff members that had no clue their own employers rules. This hospital is a joke. Some doctors and RNs are amazing I will say. And they are trying to jump ship to other hospitals as well. Even the staff doesnt want to go here read more

I'm here with my mother. The staff is on to of everything thus far. They're providing quality care. We came in through the emergency room.

Labor and delivery mannn the nurses are the sweetest don't get me wrong but why the fuck have scheduled inductions if there gonna hold off on them like what how stupid and then it's march everyone wanna be having damn babies I'm pissed I'm scheduled for today or was at 9:00 just to be put on hold like seriously how ridiculous read more

DO NOT COME TO THE L&D. They will make you wait in a waiting room without taking your vitals for 6+ hours while mom and baby are unmonitored, sick or in active labor. The LD check in lady with AirPods and charge nurses at night are USELESS. My dog was taken better care of at the vet. read more

The care in the ER was fast and well done. Then it went downhill. Waited for a room for hours. Once the room was available it was dirty and had trash on the floor. The side table had broken drawers and was not useable. Both my husband and another man were crammed into one small room with very little space. How do you get a room in the G tower? Whose butt do you have to kiss for that? The reviews I read were all from women delivering babies. They are not sick, but I guess it's easy to give them the best care and the people who are really hurting get the leftovers. We have insurance and the hospital gets paid. Do better RCH. read more

Worst L&D. Waited over 5 hours to be evaluated then was given a DIRTY room. I told a nurse AND the OB that the toilet was dirty with possible BLOOD from the previous patient even though housekeeping put a Sani shield on the toilet... the OB excuse was they had so many deliveries that day... as if that excuses someone bodily fluids? I couldnt even feel comfortable enough to use the bathroom. Not only that but they left out blood pressure medication from the previous patient so my room was in fact dirty. They also gave me a broken bed so the whole time I was there I was forced to lay on my back and was very uncomfortable. read more

Terrible, terrible experience. My daughter was experiencing absont seizures & the doctor that checked us as soon as checking in said "well just so you know, your wasting your time we aren't gonna do anything about that" bald white guy, i'm so mad i didn't get his name. & he was right they did nothing, i took her to Pomona Valley & the seen her immediately & did a full work up, including an EEG, mri scans.

This place is the worst. Rude nurses drs. Came here for one thing and. The nurse wanted to fix something else. This place doesn't stock simple meds they substitute all meds. I want to leave but since I came via ambulance they won't help me get home. This is the worst hospital ever?!! read more

I was a patient here in 2018 and had some of the most unacceptable care I've ever experienced. I underwent procedures with only local anesthetic, and the experience left me with lasting PTSD. Now, my family is living through another nightmare because of this hospital. My brother -- an ICU patient with a traumatic head injury -- somehow managed to walk out of the ICU, past hospital staff, through the halls, and out the front entrance without anyone stopping him. I was told by my family that no one on staff noticed or intervened until it was too late. This entire situation has been deeply traumatic for us. We can't even feel safe or taken care of by the very place that is supposed to protect and care for its patients. In my opinion, this reflects a dangerous lack of awareness, communication, and patient safety. If I'm ever in an ambulance, I will beg to be taken to Orange County instead. This hospital desperately needs major changes in staffing, safety protocols, and accountability before I could ever believe it is a safe place for anyone. read more

On March 13th I had to have a a knee replacement. From the beginning to the end I had excellent service. Scheduling was a breeze and Dr. Choi was great. He made sure I was prepared. He was able to have my prescriptions filled before surgery so I wouldn't have to wait. My kinetec knee extending machine was delivered days before, to ensure my physical therapy was off to a good start. Everyone I encountered was so kind and compassionate. The care I received from the medical staff was more that I could have expected. Thank you Riverside Community for everything! read more

This hospital by far has the most incompetent people that I've ever met in my life. Nobody can answer simple questions when asked and when you try to advocate for your loved one, you're met with nothing but resistance it's exhausting. The charge nurses and house supervisors, none of them know what they're doing they should all be removed immediately that hospital needs an evaluation on their staff and the competency of their employees. there's a few places that seem to be OK. The Cath Lab, the ER AND ICU THE if you need trauma or cardiac care but REST OF THIS PLACE IS A JOKE. read more

My mother was a patient there about a week ago. Everything was going great until we met Dr. Zandpour. This doctor was very rude to my mother and didn't bother answering her questions. Then he started yelling at a RN about why the patient was still there. Please avoid this DR. read more

Labor and delivery - our experience there was horrible. My daughter got a C section and was closed up and then they took x-rays and they left a glove in her and had to unstitch her to remove glove and did it. It was a very scary experience. Then they were going to do a tube ligation, which she didn't sign for and she noticed that last page and verbally informed staff she never requested that. Fraud signature via email which she never requested. And one of the nurse there was very fast and not careful with the baby- we were shocked. Just too much stuff for a first time mom and dad. Stay away from this hospital!!!!!! read more

These people have their head up their ass! I came in with chest pains and a blood pressure of 185 over 120 and they waited OVER AN HOUR to admit me. Once I was in intake they made the CARDNAL SIN OF CONFUSING ME WITH SOMEONE ELSE!! They tried so hard to hide it from me but the nurses in that station were panicking and verbally looking for someone to blame! BUT THEY PUT ME IN THE WRONG ROOM ANYWAYS! They put me in the wrong part of the hospital which was supposed to be my own room and they made me walk back to the intake ER rooms! When I was dizzy and almost passing out! They then left me in there for 6 WHOLE HOURS without so much as a drip IV! I was suffering in pain and panic! They didnt even give me water!! UNFREAKINGBELIEVABLE!! The doctor came in over 6 hours later and gave me a single pill of Cozar (low potency high blood pressure meds) and sent me home in my car while I was dizzy! Who ever is in charge of this hospital needs to put a boot up these people's ass! read more

this place sucks. they never have good employees or service. They told me to come at 9:30 and they didnt attend me until 12! Then when i called to ask they (radiology) told me that if i wanted to leave then to leave. this isnt the first time theyve messed up. last week i was supposed to come but they didnt tell me that i needed a certain document until the day of. super bad quality place, super dirty and the staff suck. read more

I'm going to try and not get too wordy because you can say a lot about something in a few concise sentences. Riverside Community Hospital was thee BEST hospital experience that I've ever had in my adult life! They saved my life! I had pneumonia and a ton of fluid in one lung. The entire process was miraculous! I HATE needles! They had to put a pretty long one in my back to aspirate the fluid in my lung. I hardly felt a thing! The level of care and knowledge that they had for my specific situation was brilliant! I wish I could remember everyone's names but I can't. I do remember Val, Mardon, Erin, Damnica, LaShawndra, Elizabeth, Ellen, Luis and so many more. I can't think of one area they fell short. Just know if I ever needed to go to a hospital in the future, I'm definitely going there! LOVE THIS HOSPITAL!!!! AAAAA+++++ read more

5 hours in a hallway waiting. The whole time I'm on a gurney. Dr never introduced himself. 3 surgeons came in to tell me they needed to amputate my foot. I refused. Another doctor came in, Dr John, and said don't worry you will keep your foot. While getting ready for mri they dragged me onto the table but first straight into a hard bar scraping my spine. Hurt like crazy. They they did it again when they pulled me back in my bed. Hurt worse than first time I yelled in pain and all they said was, "Sorry. ". Wow. Shame on them. It still hurts. Not going back there. Poorly trained. read more

My husband was here for almost a month....I found the majority of people who work here are kind and compassionate people.... My husband was very critical and there were lots of teams working to help him...I'm sure I will miss a few... The neuro team was outstanding. The kidney doctor... the pulmonary Dr... so many in the beginning that I didn't always get names... The doctors all tried to stay in contact with me...here a few of the Doctors that made a difference in my husband's stay.., Dr. Lee, &. Resident Dr. Stoli.... Nurses that went above and beyond for us...Hailee in ER...Kena in ICU, Christina is a floating nurse that we had on floor 6.... We had some wonderful housekeeping ladies too.... Incredible people doing incredible jobs!!!! Thank you all so much!!!! read more

I was in the newsest wing so some of the complaint about repairs just didn't exist. Or perhaps they've been handled. I was in for colon cancer surgery. The place was immaculate and doctor Emdadi was great. The nurses were all good but one of the night nurses, Venessa, was really amazing about checking in on me and making sure i had everything i needed. A bug thank you to the entire staff there. read more

The nurses in the ER lack compassion and have zero sense of urgency. My daughter was brought by ambulance for a migraine & vomiting and was left for over an hour w.out giving her any medication after being admitted. I went to the nurses station & the girl working at the nurses station completely ignored me when I said "Excuse me" - she looked at me, heard me and looked back down at her phone. I could not believe how RUDE she was. Another patient asked this same girl for an adult diaper and she told the patient, "I'm sorry we don't have adult diapers. " No sympathy or even tried to offer a solution. A nurse walking by saw my daughter in a horrible state and offered her an ice pack because our assigned nurse didn't offer anything to make my daughter comfortable. Nurse Tina who is the ER nurse manager also helped make my daughter comfortable. Her and 1 other nurse were the ONLY ones who seemed to genuinely care. Thank you for making my daughter feel better when she was extremely ill. Your small gestures made a large impact. ER nurses - you have A LOT of room to improve & to show just a small bit of compassion for those who are truly sick and need care. A little goes a long way. read more

I understand ER is busy and so the floors; it took 24 hours before I got a Tele bed on 3S; room was dirty, floor was sticky, nightstand still has opened Tele patches and Sandbags in all 3 drawers. Then a nurse approached my Primary RN and sort of scolded her, in front of me, saying "If you guys are getting patients, I need to know. " My nurse asked did she not get report, she said she did. Not sure what the problem was. My roommate kept her TV on all night, screaming pts in the hallway, another one vomiting nonstop, yet each time we ask to half close our door, they leave it open, so not a wink of sleep. Took 3 hours to place an 18g access for my CCTA and that's all CT was waiting for so they can do the procedure. Then I wanted to use the pt restroom prior to Transport coming but the toilet seat was soiled by the other, not even a toilet seat cover. I asked one of the nurses for EVS, they said EVS left. I asked another staff about cleaning the toilet seat, she told me if there's tissue paper I can use it to clean the seat, if I really need to pee?!?!?! SHE MUST BE OUT OF HER MIND?!! I tried to contact Chona, Nurse leader on the white board, no Answer, not even a response to my texts. This is ridiculous!!! She came to see my roommate earlier, she said she'll come back to to see me but NEVER DID...What a leader!!! Here's more...night #2 Nurse Tad of pt in next bed, emptied the Ileostomy bag of the patient using a canister. He flushed the contents (liquid stool and urine) in toilet, not all got flushed down, splashed onto seat; and dirty canister was laid on top of toilet paper dispenser. GROSS!!! Why would I want to use the toilet paper now??? I had to put gloves on, moved the dirty canister to the floor, and used saniWipes to clean top of toilet paper dispenser, lift up the hopper sprayer, wipe down splashed-on toilet seat with Sani-Wipes so I can urinate. No consideration that there's an ambulatory patient in same room who uses the same toilet!!! read more

This place is a chop shop for sick people! I went in to the ER Friday night at 6pm with severe right side pain. I thought it was appendicitis so I was also panicking. They couldn't get my pain lower than a 7, they wanted me to do a CT w/contrast scan and I came in with my IV in my ACL and I explained because I had arthritis I couldn't keep my arm straight for the CT w/contrast they need to place it somewhere else. The denied the removal of the IV so I removed it myself. I explained to them that was a hard stick they needed the pick team or a RN that knew how to use the ultrasound. I waited another 4 hours to get someone to ask if they can try to find a vein I said sure but they better not fish, and what did they do? They fished. I then pushed their hand away removed the needle myself again and demanded a pick team again. I waited another 3 hours until a RN that knew how to use the ultrasound machine and got my IV after 10min of digging in my arm. I finally the CT after 2 hours of waiting so it's 3am and they said I was getting admitted. I was like okay cool WHEN? The nurse tells me oh after 8am. WHAT??? She repeated it and added. Yeah we don't admit people until 8 upstairs. Like you are holding a bed in the ER because you are waiting for me to be admitted? While someone can be utilizing this bed in the ER? So while I wait I was informed I had a UTI and after the CT I had 2 kidney stones. I 5mm descending from my ureter and into my bladder while I had an 8mm still logged in my kidney trying to exit the kidney but it was too big. read more

My wife was given a bed in the old section of the hospital and the parking situation is absolutely terrible for someone who is handicapped. They only had 20 parking spaces for handicapped. I had to park down the hill and pay $6.00 to park. Another problem was the cafeteria being so far away in the new section. There is no food, coffee, or drinks in the old section.... read more

I never thought I'd be writing a negative review during such a heartbreaking time, but our experience at Riverside Community Hospital's Emergency Room deserves to be addressed. After receiving a 5:00 AM call from the ICU doctor urging our family to visit a critically ill loved one before the end of the day, we arrived hoping to say our goodbyes peacefully. Instead, we were met with hostility from a security guard named Giovanni, who repeatedly denied us access--even after nurse and doctor approval had already been given. He refused to listen when we explained that my husband's brother had driven in from Temecula while recovering from stage 4 cancer and recent surgery, and that ICU had cleared 3 people to visit (we were fully willing to comply with that limit). Giovanni continually contradicted staff, interrupted me when I tried to speak, and berated me loudly in front of others when I attempted to retrieve my forgotten phone -- falsely assuming I was trying to sneak back without permission. Later, he forced elderly and at-risk family members to wait outside in 86+ degree heat when the waiting room was nearly empty -- putting their health at risk for no reason I can understand. It felt like a power trip, not policy enforcement. Thankfully, Tina and Kate from the hospital staff stepped in, confirmed the ICU's visitor policy, apologized sincerely, and moved us to the consult room. Their kindness reminded me that there are compassionate professionals here. Unfortunately, Giovanni's behavior left us feeling dehumanized at one of the most emotionally fragile moments of our lives. I hope the hospital provides better training for their security staff -- especially for those assigned to the ER. Families deserve to be treated with dignity and empathy, not suspicion and scorn. read more

My son was transferred to this hospital due to a medical emergency and was discharged two days later because the ENT doctor didn't think it was anything serious yet the doctor in Orange County said he had a rare infection in his throat that was near his jugular vein and it was a high risk for blood clots.. upon arriving home my son complained about fatigue including dizziness. That night my son experienced nausea with dizziness and cold sweats. He got up to shower and all of a sudden he started to turn super pale his skin almost ashy white and purple around his eyes. I drove him back and told them he was experiencing shortness of breath and they said u will need to wait in the waiting room to be called I was like okay my son's oxygen was at 88 and within minutes he turned ashy white and went limp they finally took him to the back. The nurses are so rude and they have zero empathy for the patients or their family members .. they ignore a simple pillow request. When u talk to them to ask questions they seemed bothered like they don't t want to talk to you. The doctor took hours to see him and when she walked in she said he's stable and he will be be discharged I got really upset and told her that I wasn't leaving unless she gave me an explanation as to why my read more

When I went in I was normal. I walked in for a simple outpatient robotic hernia procedure. I left with a trauma, 6 Days later. I was unable to hold down water or food for 6 days. The nurses and staff did treat me with respect. But again I could not hold down water, or food for 6 days. They kept saying,"do the best you can." They would give me oral medication which required food. Confused? Me too. During surgery, My surgeon knicked my colon. So I guess that means they had to open me up. No bueno. read more

Today, 11/23/24 my husband presented to the ER with chest pain, SOB, dizziness and very high BP. While there, they did an EKG WHILE SITTING IN A CHAIR! Literally. The EKG tech stated he has been doing them since 2011, as if to dismiss his concern. My husband told him he's been a cardiac patient since 1999 therefore has more experience as a patient than his years as a tech. Sadly, I'm listening to all of this on the phone because I'm out of the country. Trust me I am a retired Director of Respiratory and EMU Neurophysiologist and I'm appalled by the attitude and unprofessional treatment of my husband. He is a cardiac patient and protocol was not followed. Luckily, I'm not there that's all I can say ( I'm upset) to teach people to respect their patients and not add to their already state of anxiety that they're experiencing ! read more

This is by far the best hospital ever in my opinion. Based off the care I have received every time I've came here over the years. I have no complaints at all. You can tell every worker here loves their job. Each department is phenomenal! Labor & delivery, emergency department (minus the longggg wait but that's normal at an ER!), Cardiac department, etc!! I would drive from a far distance just to come here if I ever have a reason to goto the hospital! read more
