This is specific to the security and nurses I've had the delight of meeting. I frequently visit…read morethis hospital as my mother's caregiver and every time, the employees have treated us with grace, kindness and thoughtfulness. Both the lady and male security guards went out of their way to locate my grandma's cane we had left a month prior. The nurses (Kaitlyn in med surge) and Carmie (CNA) at her most recent hospitalization were thorough with both managing her care, but also sharing her discharge information. I really appreciated the encouraging words from them as well. I can't speak on much of the doctors themselves, but my grandma's alive and doing well so I'd say that's been good. My only complaints are: the small ED lobby that feels like a bubble of germs with the circle of seats to cough onto each other. The lack of communication with wait times in between information given once you're in a room in the ED... and bedside with some ER doctors. But that's par the course for most hospitals.

I saw Dr Arthur yesterday, my regular doctor, and not only did she fill out my forms needed, wrote…read moreme an accommodation letter & follow up with me after my urgent care visit; she also was able to remove the recently noticed earring back stuck in my skin in my ear. The skin had grown over it and even though I got the earring out, the back wouldn't budge and it hurt. In times before, I'd remember that some doctors would turn my newly found concerns away and tell me I had to make another appointment. Dr Arthur did it all. She's amazing and overall Sutter has been a great place to have my medical care. Thank you again!

Try shutting your mouth and try actually listening to your patients!!!…read moreTwo questions, and I'm interrupted, and basically blown off. When trying to speak to yet another Orthopedic surgeon, who isn't interested in putting forth their best and the patient starts to say "I can't walk"... and that orthopedic surgeon interrupts to say " No, I saw you walk" Bro..THATS THE END OF THE CONVERSATION!!!! if you think hobbling from downstairs, in pain with every step IS WALKING, you need some serious soul searching. I took maybe two dozen steps from the garage to the "providers" office. Yep folks, according to this "provider" THAT CONSTITUTES WALKING. A huge (size of Texas) red flag. Yet another minimizing, denying, apathetic, argumentative surgeon washing his hands of any care. AND who doesn't care enough to even let a patient finish a sentence. SMH. Just like the rest of them. I can say one thing, he is just as bad or as good as his contemporaries. That's not a good thing. Your perception will depend on if you are a patient desperate for help or not. Absolute waste of time and energy and half a tank of gas. Argued about dates of procedures, that's called gaslighting, I refuse to go down that road... so I just claimed to be stupid about the dates. When I have jumped through all the hoops in getting x-rays and when the film isn't sent, and I show him x-rays from after my last surgery which are on my phone, WITH THE DATE CLEARLY SHOWN...he had no thanks, just handed the phone back. YOU'RE WELCOME!! IMHO Arrogance is deep here and can be deadly in this profession, this surgeon is no different than every other surgeon I have dealt with in the past 5 years. (except two). So yes, I have a personal experience baseline of care, compassion and it's not here. When a patient tells you they are experiencing WORSENING SYSTEMIC REACTIONS to an implant, and you start your pathetic bs, it's telling.

If you are reading this, you likely have a loved one who is heading into rehab, spinal cord injury…read moreor stroke related. I am writing this because there isn't much info about this place, and I had a family member in here for about 3 weeks. I wanted info, but found little, so here is my way of helping someone else who may be coming to this rough patch in the road. OVERALL: 10/10 WHERE IS IT? It's a section of the 3rd floor of the main Kaiser Hospital in Vallejo, it is not a separate building. There are 2 sections of rooms, both on the 3rd floor. One section is directly above the Labor & Delivery (2nd floor), and the other section is in the main hospital wing. PARKING: You can park in Lot 2 (open to anyone) or park in the parking garage, park closest to the elevators. Parking is free in both areas. It gets busy, so they even have a parking valet until 5pm in the main loop. WHAT HAPPENS? They will take the patient in, and the doctor will do a quick initial assessment when the patient arrives. The doctor will likely ask the patient to rest for the remainder of day. The following day is an assessment by all of the specialist departments, OT, PT, and Speech Therapy (which is also related to memory). They have a huddle and decide what would be the best plan of action for rehab, and determine an estimated discharge date. Most patients had about 2 weeks as their initial window. Depending on the progress, they could extend the therapy for an additional 5 days if they believe progress is being made, so your timeline may be extended. Ours was extended twice. DAILY: The patients are given a daily schedule of all their 30-minute therapy classes (some acronyms were new to me: OTD is OT for dressing in the morning, RME is resistance mat exercises). Weekend class schedule is different and varies per patient, usually less classes. If no family member is there to take the patient to their class, the nurses or therapists get them there. There are lines on the floor to help navigate the area: PT is red, Speech is orange, OT is green, and admin offices is brown. ROOMS: Some patients get a large private room, and some are in a quad-room which separates 4 patients by hospital curtains. Just depends on what opens up first. VISITORS: They allow one guest to stay full-time in the patient's room. You can request a pull out bed that is surprisingly comfortable. You can shower in the patient's bathroom (some have Jack & Jill bathrooms between 2 patients rooms, so be sure to lock both doors). Your loved one will likely be tired from all the therapy classes, so try to limit guests so they can rest. AMENITIES: They have a laundry room where you can bring your own HE (high efficiency) detergent, and wash clothes for free. There is a family room which is a large room with tables for families to visit with their loved one. You also could do some laptop work in there if needed. Ice and water dispensers, shared fridge so be sure to label your items, and hospital type snacks (graham crackers, soup broth, etc) The family room by the rehab gym is nicer and more well lit than the one in the other area. FOOD: There is a standard hospital cafeteria on the 1st floor. During the week they have a salad bar, hot foods, and cold foods. Weekends is a small menu. On Mondays and Fridays there is a farmer's market. Down Sereno Drive (left when exiting the hospital) are 2 grocery stores (Food Basket and 168) and a small neighborhood Walmart. If you can drive, go across 80, there are lots of food options and stores (Target, Nick the Greek, Ike's, Starbucks, Costco, DSW, Marshalls, In-n-Out, etc) LODGING: If you need to stay somewhere, the Homewood Suites in Fairfield is about a 15 minute drive up 80, from the hospital. It's equipped with a kitchen and small gym, plus free breakfast in the mornings. Park in the front, the back gets extremely dark. Leave zero items in your vehicle, and you are good. Hang in there, you got this.

First of all the staff are all kind and compassionate and work really hard. My family member…read morearrived just before a strike by therapists. (Nurses here are not on strike as they belong to a different union) It was fairly obvious on day one of the strike who the regular therapists were and who were replacement therapists. Replacement therapists were not familiar with equipment, room locations etc and therefore time in actual therapy was delayed several times. Now my loved one is to be discharged and is nowhere near ready. Kaiser has only 2/3rd of the beds open due to staffing concerns. Other patients are waiting to be admitted so no one is getting their care extended apparently. Kaiser should do the right thing and settle this strike ASAP! It's unconscionable to try to break the unions. Healthcare workers will only strike as a last resort to reach a settlement and do not take their vote lightly. Kaiser is putting patients lives at risk by allowing the strike to occur in the first place. Its CEO's salary is $23 million and profits are obscene for a "not for profit" hospital chain. These workers deserve a decent wage increase and more staffing to help them provide the care they've been trained to provide.

I'm not sure why there are so many negative reviews as I've had nothing but positive experiences…read morewith Dr. Shanks! She did my bunion surgery a couple of years ago and my foot has felt great ever since. She explained my problem very thoroughly and wasn't pushy with surgery, though nothing helped to relieve my pain until I had the surgery. I can tell when it's going to rain because I get some aches from the screws, which apparently is common, but it's not bad enough to go through with another surgery to remove it. Now I take my mom to see Dr. Shanks to have her nails cut, since she's diabetic. Her staff has been good for the most part. I guess she recently moved offices so I don't really know the office staff that well, but they all seem nice.

People of Napa, I urge you to have caution with this Dr Shanks. She injected several shots of…read morecortisone in a short amount of time. The fallout was MASSIVE! Failing to place the injection in the nerve, she caused damage to the surrounding soft tissue. The result? A thumbsize indentation on the ball of my foot that radiated excruciating pain. Several podiatrists visits later, all of whom concurred her actions were negligent. I ended up with lifelong issues but with the help of knowledgeable doctors and surgery, I have experienced some recovery from her gross errors. *I hope this review helps someone avoid the pains I have endured. Bottom line: Go to someone with more expertise. My running and dancing life have been shelved for good. Being female and minority myself, I wanted to root for her so I decided to take the leap. That leap left me injured. Go to someone else.
