It's complicated. This hospital is obviously understaffed but every single staff member that took…read morecare of me was excellent. I was in the ER for 19 hours because they didn't have any beds upstairs. That is unacceptable. But the doctors and nurses did their best to care for me until I could be admitted. Wen was part of the overnight staff and was incredible. The ER was not sanitary. The bathrooms in the waiting room and within the ER especially were not being maintained and I might have contracted the flu from using them. Once I was admitted to the second floor, the levels of care were exponentially better. I had around the clock care and a call button for if I needed anything. They made sure I knew what was happening with my body and gave me full control over my treatment options. The food was surprisingly acceptable; sometimes even good. One thing that I found strange was that I never was told about how billing worked or what my insurance would cover. I am lucky that they are contracted with my insurance and I only owe $50 from the ER. But it is concerning that I never was told about billing while I was there. TLDR: Hire more sanitation workers!

You're provided with a Medela Symphony which for pumps, is best in class. The NICU had mostly wonderful loving souls, really after weeks of visiting NICU shift after shift, only 1 of over a dozen nurses we met didn't seem to be sincere. The rest were just angels on earth caring for at risk babies. The food actually wasn't as bad as usual at hospitals you just have to navigate carefully LOL. All in all, I felt the maternity ward and NICU was warm and friendly. It was easy to park and go in and out of the hospital. Now the bill. It's exorbitant. I think 2 weeks of NICU was $479,000 LMAO I mean they have to just make this stuff up. Like there's a bowl of really horrible numbers and that's the one that got picked for me. I cannot fathom how someone without insurance can be faced with such a bill. But I digress about our healthcare system. Dr Greer and Dr Kaiser took great care of me and were super understanding and empathetic. Cathy in the NICU was a superstar human being. The hospital is beautiful and I felt cared for.

Today, 10/03/26 I received one of the worst calls of my life…read moreand immediately drove to the hospital's emergency department to visit my brother. I was already extremely worried and emotional about his condition, so the way I was treated at the front desk made an already difficult situation even more stressful. I arrived around 2:00 PM and checked in to visit my brother. I was told to take a seat and that someone would call me in approximately 15 minutes. My older sister was already at the hospital and had been able to see my brother. At the time, we were told that he was unconscious and unable to speak or respond. When I checked in, one of the front desk employees told me that my brother was responsive and that visitors were not being allowed at that time. I was confused because we had been told only about 20 minutes earlier that he was unconscious. When I respectfully asked how his condition had suddenly changed, I felt that I was met with an unnecessarily rude and dismissive attitude. I understand that emergency departments are extremely busy, and I understand that staff have policies they need to follow. However, I believe family members deserve compassion, patience, and clear communication especially when they are dealing with a loved one in a serious medical situation. I also needed to request a doctor's note to excuse my brother from work because of his hospitalization. Rather than feeling supported, I felt as though my questions and requests were an inconvenience. Each time we approached the front desk for updates, we felt that the staff appeared annoyed or bothered by us asking questions about our own family member. I am not asking for special treatment. I am asking for basic compassion and communication. When a family member is hospitalized and their loved ones are frightened and unsure of what is happening, the last thing they should have to deal with is feeling dismissed or spoken to disrespectfully. I hope the hospital will take this feedback seriously and remind front-desk staff that their communication and attitude can have a significant impact on families during extremely difficult moments. We were already scared and worried about my brother's health, and we should not have been made to feel like a burden for wanting information and trying to support him. I didn't get the front girls names but their description One of the front-desk staff members was a heavier-set woman with glasses, a layered haircut, blue scrub pants, and a black shirt. The other woman was blonde couldn't get a better look at her.

My mom and I were having a very difficult day, and from the moment Joshua greeted us, he made us feel safe, welcomed, and cared for. He kindly guided us to the front of the ER, and when it was time to leave, he personally helped my mom in her wheelchair all the way to our car. It wasn't just what he did...it was the genuine care and compassion he showed while doing it. His kindness, patience, and willingness to help lifted a heaviness I was carrying that day and reminded me how much simple acts of compassion can mean. Joshua went above and beyond his role, and his professionalism and empathy made a lasting impression on us. Garfield Hospital is fortunate to have someone like him representing the hospital. Thank you, Joshua, for treating us with such kindness and respect.

I would not even give this hospital one star…read more My experience with the Emergency Department yesterday morning was extremely concerning and completely unacceptable. At approximately 7:23 a.m., I approached the front desk and asked a simple and reasonable question regarding how long I could expect to wait to be evaluated. I specifically advised the representative that I was experiencing difficulty breathing and was seeking medical attention. Rather than receiving assistance, the representative became confrontational, raised her voice, and used profanity toward me. She advised me that someone would be contacted regarding my request. Approximately 15 minutes passed, and no one came to assist me. When I followed up, the representative began laughing. I questioned why she was laughing given that I was at the Emergency Department seeking medical attention and had specifically reported difficulty breathing. Her response and demeanor were deeply inappropriate under the circumstances. I requested to speak with a supervisor. Instead of assisting me or obtaining a supervisor, I was told that I needed to walk around to the front desk myself to locate one. The representative remained seated and continued laughing. A security officer subsequently approached me in a manner that I perceived as intimidating and instructed me that if I intended to remain at the facility to receive medical attention, I needed to be quiet. I was not being disruptive. I was attempting to obtain medical care and advocating for myself after reporting a potentially serious medical symptom. I understand that Emergency Departments can be extremely busy and that patients may experience delays. However, a delay in care does not justify hostile, disrespectful, profane, dismissive, or degrading treatment of a patient, particularly when that patient has reported difficulty breathing. Patients who enter an Emergency Department are placing their trust in the facility and its staff during moments when they may be frightened, vulnerable, or experiencing a medical emergency. At a minimum, patients deserve to be treated with professionalism, dignity, compassion, and respect. I work in the legal field and understand the importance of professionalism, accountability, documentation, and appropriate handling of complaints. Based on what I experienced, I believe this incident warrants management review and investigation. I strongly encourage hospital administration to review the circumstances surrounding this incident, including any available surveillance footage, incident reports, staffing records, and other documentation relevant to what occurred. This was not simply a complaint about waiting. It was the manner in which I was treated while attempting to obtain medical attention that was most concerning. I sincerely hope hospital administration takes this matter seriously and uses this experience as an opportunity to evaluate how patients presenting to the Emergency Department are treated. No patient should feel ridiculed, intimidated, or dismissed when asking for assistance with a medical concern. This experience was deeply disappointing and has significantly affected my confidence in this facility.

I've had a consistently excellent experience at Optimal Health and wellness and would highly…read morerecommend it to anyone looking for a professional, elevated wellness service. From the moment you walk in, the environment is impeccably clean, calm, and thoughtfully designed--it strikes the perfect balance between medical office and a relaxing, spa-like atmosphere. The staff is exceptionally knowledgeable and attentive, taking the time to explain each treatment in a way that feels both informative and reassuring. I typically come in for B12 shots, (I recommend the Honey Badger) , and the process is quick, seamless, and handled with great care. Efficiency, level of professionalism, and attention to detail is what you receive throughout the entire visit. I've personally noticed a meaningful improvement in my energy levels and overall sense of well-being following my treatments. Equally important, I feel completely confident in the safety and quality of care provided here. Scheduling is easy. You can call or check the schedule online. Appointments run on time, and every interaction reflects a high standard of service. NOTE: Parking is free for the first 90 minutes, but keep in mind the day and time you go can make it a challenge to find parking. Give yourself time. You park in the same lot with A LOT of restaurants. You need the code to get into the office building. No appointments passed 5pm and not Saturdays. I will absolutely continue coming back.

Let them know what I was there for and got seen relatively quickly. Each time I went here the visit didn't take that long and felt like there was quality care both times. To be fair, I didn't come here for anything huge or elaborate, but just a really pleasant experience overall. One of the great things about going to Kaiser is that you can get a lot of different care under the same roof or at the same location. Parking was pretty easy to find in the garage as well.

Kaiser Pasadena location No star for the lab lady Today…read moreAppointment at 9:50am Saturday I have been a Kaiser Permanente member for more than 15 years, and this is the first time I have felt the need to file a complaint about the service I received. Today, I went to the laboratory for a blood draw. I specifically requested a butterfly needle because I have very small veins and have difficulty with blood draws. Several laboratory staff members in the past have told me that I can request a butterfly needle for this reason. Unfortunately, the staff member who drew my blood today was extremely forceful when inserting the needle. She poked me so hard that I had to hold myself back from screaming because of the pain. I understand that drawing blood from small veins can sometimes be challenging. However, there is no reason for a patient to be treated so roughly. I expected the procedure to be performed carefully, gently, and professionally. This experience was very upsetting and disappointing. As a Kaiser member of more than 15 years, I have never made a complaint like this before. I believe this staff member needs to improve her technique and, especially, the way she handles patients during blood draws. Patients should not have to endure unnecessary pain because a procedure is performed without enough care or gentleness. I am submitting this complaint because I hope Kaiser will take this matter seriously and provide appropriate feedback or training to prevent another patient from having the same experience

Keep in mind, my uncle has been going to this clinic for several decades and this is his first time seeing Dr Andrew Fung, who was extremely inconsiderate, rude, and unhelpful. Uncle went in to receive the documents needed for his blood work. They gave him the WRONG documents, it was the blood work papers for another patient of theirs (who is female and not even the same gender as my uncle). They were not careful and didnt check the paper before giving it to him! So he had to go back a 2nd time to rectify the situation. Unfortunately, the front desk and doctor kept claiming that no mistake was made, not checking the name on the paper and still insisting that they were right. They ignored his concern, met him with animosity, and kept insisting he was wrong. The doctor was extremely rude, dismissed him, and didnt care to assess the issue at all. They were extremely rude, inconsiderate, and brash. It wasn't until my uncle had the chance to point out the discrepancy in the names and they finally realized the issue. But they didnt apologize at all! My relative ended up leaving without a resolution. And will never be coming back again. If accuracy, competency, and compassion mean a lot to you when seeing a doctor, then DONT GO HERE.

I woke up w/my rt leg not able to move w/o excruciating pain, (15/10); I'm very good with pain, so…read moremy husband took me to the e.r., Sadly Keck USC is the closest one. I was on my old crutches when arriving because it helped to keep my weight off the leg & help with movement. The very kind security guard immediately got me a wheelchair. She also helped me gather my registration paperwork so I didn't have to wait in line. The nurse who took my vitals asked why I was there. This is not a common condition, but she said she had to check with her attending who determined it was not an emergency. A simple Google check would have told her that it was life threatening, but she was NOT a good doctor. More on her later. After a couple of hours, they took me back for a blood panel so they could do a CT scan w/contrast completely skipping an ultrasound then an MRI w/contrast. The phlebotomist was good. I told them I was freezing and could I please have a blanket, & I hadn't eaten all day; could I have a sandwich. The doctor, whom I already went over all of my health issues, asked, "What if I got you a full meal instead?" I again had to remind her that I was on the FOD map diet for my IBS and could I just please have the plain sandwich and the blanket. This is now the second or third time asking for these things. She said she'd check on these. She and her attending both examined me, pushed very hard on the painful area. If it had been a clot, it could have broken apart & killed me. I finally got my blanket about 6 hours later. Still no sandwich. The female doctor/attending sucked & said if I was nauseous, I would have to keep the oversalted crackers down, which I did, then I could have a sandwich. I ate one pack, stopped, & was so angry thinking, "Does she think she's my mom?" I know my body & have been through enough things that I know what I best respond to. My husband found someone & told him what the m.d. said and could he please bring me sandwich. He said he would check on it. That was all of their responses. You would have thought that their sandwiches were on lockdown. In the meantime, I was in the main waiting room w/10-15 people vomiting non-stop. Finally, it was my time to go to the CT scan room, which I didn't get because someone was stroking out. Understandable. So I asked if I could have my sandwich while I was waiting because they were giving me strong pain medicine, & I still had to take my own, so I needed something in my stomach to help with the acids. "I'll go check on it." They rolled me into the inner waiting room left me facing the wall because I was apparently their prisoner except for no bread or water. When it was finally time to take me to the CT room, I asked about the Zofran, AGAIN, because I know how nauseous the contrast makes me. OOPS! They forgot to order it, so I had to go back to my prison cell. At least this time, they left me facing my husband who again asked about my sandwich. "I'll go check on it." At least an hour later, they finally got the Zofran and were able to take me to the CT room. Brian, the assistant was very nice and patient. He even offered to replace my blanket with a warmer one. When my husband asked him about my sandwich, he said, "I'll go check on it." The actual technician in the white lab coat was a little too in my face and rushing me. I COULDN'T MOVE MY LEG; I WAS DOING THE BEST I COULD! They rolled me to the main waiting room w/all of the vomiting people. After an hour or two, they came to get me just to put me in back in my prison cell. My husband had to go let our dogs out and feed them & asked again before he left about my sandwich.. "I'll go check on it." I was in the little waiting room at 3:00a.m. by myself & didn't sleep because I didn't trust these people. Meanwhile, the new RN's or MA's, (I couldn't tell which from their lack of professionalism) just kept flirting with the married NP who's ego got bigger with their many questions he answered. They could have researched on their own. I waited until 5:00a.m. because everyone kept ignoring me. Since no M.D. or P.A. was present, just an N.P. who was basically in front of me but never checked on me nor made eye contact w/me in those two hours, I finally asked very loudly "Is anyone going to tell me what's going on with me?" No response. A few minutes later, the N.P. shouted back (HIPPA), "I just now got your test results," (right) "and I'll go over the results, discharge paperwork, and any notes for work," but he just handed them to me. Luckily, I'm have a pre-nursing AA along w/a bunch of certs since I had to read them on my own. He said he would remove my port I reminded them I had because I know they would have left it in. I was already taking it out when he said he could do that. The CT scan was clear. I said, "doesn't explain my symptoms". Him, "Maybe we should run more tests. Which ones?" I asked to be rolled out. I'll go to the pro's to figure this out. Never got my damn sandwich!
