I had back surgery at Monrovia Memorial Hospital last September. My care there was wonderful. The nurses and assistants were so kind, caring and professional. I spent a month there and got to know much of the staff from the cleaning staff to the hospital manager-they were all so accommodating and treated me as though I was their only patient. It is a very small hospital in a quiet neighborhood, but the care is all first class. read more

Front desk staff was ok. Though I had to be transferred so many times. Management Brad Marsicano is lame. He claims he's available for patients and hands them business cards only for him to ignore calls and voicemails. And parking is limited. read more

My sister was intubated at another hospital and moved to the ICU here in June 2025. I live on the other side of the country and wasn't able to get there for a few days. The ICU staff (only four ICU beds) was amazing! They gave me updates whenever I called and said to call them anytime, which I appreciated. Herbert and the other ICU nurses are all amazing! Also Ron the dialysis guy! A few days after I arrived, my sister was extubated and was able to move into a regular patient bed. Her team of doctors is outstanding, and there are so many specialists attending to her care. In the past month she was taken off a ventilator, stopped dialysis, been able to talk, is starting to use her hands again and is recovering from a series of serious conditions. Next week she will be transferred to a long-term care facility. This hospital has done an amazing job of treating all of her issues. I would also like to point out that the food in the tiny cafe is very good. You can't get a better lunch for $5. The hospital is continuously being cleaned. The floors are shining. And Greg is THE BEST! read more

I stayed at Monrovia for a couple of days to have a minor procedure performed. The hospital is a small community hospital located in a residential area. Nothing fancy, but nice and clean. I found the staff to be friendly, helpful, and attentive to my needs. From the CEO to the front desk, it seems to be a tight knit family. I appreciate everyone's patience and care from the operating room to the hospital room. Thanks Monrovia! read more

Stayed at this hospital for 5 days. Vital checks are on point, room was cleaned once everyday and most attendees are nice. Bring your own entertainment (iPad) for not many channels on house tv. Hospital food is decent and will provide you with request depending on your recommended diet read more

My mom wax transferred from Huntington hosp in Pasadena, I thought this hospital would be closer to where I live so I decided to take a tour, when the nurse gave me the tour it was very clean, and it look like a very nice place, It was not crowded and they had a lot of empty beds , Most of the nurses are lazy you ring the bell and wait mind you it's not busy , I come 2 to 3 times a day , my mom was diagnosed with stage four lung cancer, the dr put her on anti-anxiety medicine and told her when she needs it let them know , she asked for them and they don't come. I've been witness to this because I've been sitting here for two hours, and I asked three separate times, and they never gave it to her. my mom has all her senses. And is sharp as anything.the only problem is she can't get out of bed and walk until she gets more physical therapy My point is I would not recommend this place read more

Having a loved one in the hospital during a pandemic is very stressful. The staff at Memorial made it as pleasant as possible. The RNs were always responsive never seemed rushed took the time to explain when we had questions. They would make the time to come and open the window blinds so we could my mom and Talk with her on the phone. The security guards even walked me in the evening to the front of the building and back to my car. I also observed them temperature testing all the staff that went inside. I was able to also observe that the RNs and LVN and Cna's all were very careful about the protective gear. I felt my mother was safe and cared for there. The administration was also outstanding in all the paperwork and helping me seek information for my mom. I thank norma, Dana, Valerie, I and Margaret for their help. read more

Very impressed with Monrovia Memorial Hospital. I had an epidural injection a couple of days ago. The staff were extremely professional, courteous and attentive. The facility was spotless. Everything was so well organized. The OR team handled everything like a textbook; double and triple-checking everything before they started. Excellent experience. Thank you! read more

Some of the staff were doing their job. The evening staff were accommodating. The supervisors were useless. Could not solution any situations. I check in on Wed, the day of my surgery. After day 2 the staff service during the day went to hell.Patients deserve good quality service and care at all times. My wed, Thurs Friday night staff went the extra mile. They made me feel like my care matter. SUNDAY WAS THE WORST. nothing went right, food, treatment, service had to ask for soap and water to clean myself, ask for water and never got it. Supervisor came to tell me there was nothing he could about the food. So I eat the food I order and told him nevermind. A grilled cheese, a cup of cream of broccoli soup. He was giving to me at first. I asked for a dark leafy one time. Salad with chicken breast , but everyday! This facility was extremely cold. Ask for Heat one night it was so cold. TV didn't work, bed didn't work, Maintenance fixed tv and got me a remote that worked. They had to switch the bed from another room that worked. Just was not a great place for recovery. Complete lack of their job and responsibilities. I had to ask for everything from this group. It's unfortunate that their best staff were off the weekend, and this group is the evening staff. The day staff were horrible with the exception of one nurse. Didn't clean me up or offer cleaning material u til I had asked after 4 days. My surgeon told them that they could take off I V drip, and once I was able to eat sold food and have a bow movement I should be good to go home. It is now Sunday, I had to order food from outside as the dietian seemed to not get what a diabetic meal was. I was given rice, carrots, some beefy stew, regular eggs, French toast, a supervisor gave me a gelly on gelly sandwich without the peanut butter. If I asked for mint tea , I was offered Camille. Finally after me standing my ground, I got things. I still cleaned myself, their job, I couldn't get a hot cup of fresh coffee not one day. Again order from outside the hospital. They have cameras in this hospital, the CEO, should take a look at what the staff is doing in this facility on a daily basis read more

Monrovia Memorial Hospital - Plan of care not kept up since in checked in those facility. . - Hospitals Near Me - Monrovia, California

This has to be one of the worst hospitals. Unfortunately my father was admitted here for surgery. The nurses didn't mind him when we would bring certain things to their attention, the doctors also didn't listen until I had to call his attending physician to come down and practically shout at everyone to do their job. A stay that was only suppose to be 3 days tops ended up being a bit over two weeks. He had been neglected over and over again to the point of his health had been put at risk! He is severely allergic to all the meds they were pumping him full of and it complicated so much. I complained over and over again with no help. It was only when his doctor came down and put them in their place that they paid attention and he started to recover and was well enough to come home to start to recover from that nightmare. He unfortunately now has PTSD from the whole experience. Please don't take your loved ones here read more

Best Hospital i have ever gone to. (Thats including my kids birth hospital) Super Clean, Organized, Helpful and always on top of everything. From check in, to the rooms, the test, meals, personal help, surgery, recovery, medications and all of the above. I must say that my spine surgery was completely painful and i agree tonit last minute and they were always there helping me, in getting in & out of bed, restrooms time, in & out of the wheelchair, personal hygiene, to cold or hot pads ect. Best of all i was able to have some friends/family spend the night over during my entire stay. I would most definitely recommend this hospital to anyone. I am so happy i got my surgery done with them. My only down part was there are no showers, but i also understand why. Due to the type of surgury is dangerous. Too bad there is only 5 starts and not more, to give it more. I was completely surprised how quick they are at there job, on my discharge day i asked for a wheelchair for home while my recovery and they did all the paper work that same moment, next day the wheelchair chair was approved and at my home, lets bot even talk about the therapist help to walk around the hospital perfect service always on time and also the Respiratory dept. real efficient!! There were timesi forgot to take my meds, and the nurses will remind me or look for me around the hospital since i was always walking around day in day out to relax from all the pain. THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO WORKS AT MONROVIA MEMORIAL HOSPITAL, DOCTORS INCLUDED‼‼‼ read more

Monrovia Memorial Hospital - Hospitals Near Me - Monrovia, California

My grandmother had passed away in this hospital this past October - she was 82. It has been an emotional roller coaster dealing with some of the Doctor's in this hospital and a few nurses, specifically, Dr. Michael Cao (cardiologist), Dr. Ngo Pham (primary physician), and Dr. Khodadadi (Infectious Disease) are the WORSE doctors to deal with. These doctors need to go back to their medical books and look up "compassion" and why they decided to be doctors. Trying to get information from these doctor's about my grandmother's prognosis was very difficulty. I felt that because my grandmother is 82 yrs old, these doctor's don't make as much of an effort in wanting to help. I can go on and on about what coulda or shoulda about these doctors but at that time, I was at their mercy in my grandma's care. I would give 4stars to the Case Managers (Noelle W. and Seema S.). They have excellent care and concerns for my well-being and my grandmother's. Saying that, the facility would be a better place if we had more people like them working there. Two Stars: as for the Nurses: It's a hit or miss, depending on which Nurses you get. I've dealt with one RN (Kylie) who seems to be very junior and just looks unhappy working there. I understand their job responsibilities can be hectic but you chose your career so either like it or leave it. It would be nice if some Nurses could provide better Customer Service. That should be a required class all Nurses should take. 4 Stars: ICU Nurses: I feel that the Nurses in the ICU department provide better services. They seem to understand the need for compassion and takes better care of the patient. Overall, the facility I would give it a 3 stars. The staff (non-medical) 4 stars. The Nurses, 3 stars. If I had a choice - this would NOT be my first pick. I would do my homework before admitting any of my family members here. I get so furious even the thought of this place read more

worried and concerned my son in law went into surgery today. My daughter is upset with the unprofessionalism of nurses. Front desk and last night staff was great but was in disbelief on the experience and treatment received today My daughter is afraid to leave my son in law alone. Daughter can here someone buzzing for a nurse and no nurse to be found. The room my son in law is in has exposed wires. Wow! My daughter works in the medical field and can't believe the condition of this hospital. I told her to report hospital to OSHA and State for hospital compliance. She is very upset, just told me the machine administering medication was not working.. Was releasing wrong dose for the last 5 hours. Praying my son in law that he will get out of there alive. The one thing going for him is that he is young. read more

Monrovia Memorial Hospital took such great care of my dad before and during his recovery after surgery with Dr.Serge Obukhoff. The hospital was clean and the staff were very warm and welcoming. They always greeted us with a smile and helped before they were even asked. They did everything to accommodate him to make sure he was well and comfortable. They reassured me and my family, and gladly answered any questions we had. Our overall experience at Monrovia Memorial Hospital, was made quick and easy by the staff involved. We thank all the nurses, doctors, surgeons and physical therapists that helped my dad during his stay there. read more

Visiting a family member and actually stayed the night. This nurses are loud, laughing and chit chatting out loud at the nurses station. Lights were never dimmed. You hear them open and close doors all night long. My love one's room is dirty, seems like the room hasn't been swept in a few days. Night table dirty. Communication board never updated. Someone's call light on almost all night. Wonder how the pass inspections. read more

I hope that the owner of this facility will contact me. My husband was sent here upon discharge from Huntington Hospital He had been in the hospital for 21 days after cancer surgery and was readmitted after a 2nd bout of sepsis, then to be sent to Monrovia Memorial. The nurses were good. However, without telling me, and I asked to be told if they changed any of his meds, they put my husband on a medicine to stimulate his appetite and improve mood. My husband is an intelligent retired trial attorney- 93 years old- better memory than me. He jokes with everyone and is a raconteur. 9 days in, he began having hallucinations- never before- and became increasingly worse. I continually asked if they added any medicines and was told no. The head doctor said he did not notice any change in his behavior????, and the social worker never noticed anything???? although she had joked with him when he first arrived. He finally had a psychotic break and one wonderful nurse who had not seen him in a week, suggested stopping this medicine we were never told he was on. They said he had dementia... well i took him out the next day and after we stopped the medicine, he was back to normal 6 days later. This was the most awful neglect. The head doctor- saying there was no change, the social worker who was seeing him day-to day? Our friends visited at his window and were shocked at the deterioration. Also, there is no wifi and no cable TV. There were only around 20 patients at the time... I think my husband was one of the only patients who was well enough to speak. I want to reiterate that most of the nurses were good, but why did only one confirm the deterioration? read more

A real shit hole of a hospital I could not even bring in my service dog and the people are very rude and unprofessional. I would highly recommand anyone to stay away from that place it seems like they dont know what the hell they are doing. My friend is in that place and he will not make in there. Wonder why the small parking lot is alway empty. read more

My husband had surgery at this hospital early December and also recently spent a week there due to an infection after his surgery. Although, it seems to be a small hospital the staff seemed to be compassionate and my husband was happy with the medical attention he received. I visited twice and found the hospital to be clean and staff to be caring and cheerful. read more

This hospital is great from the receptionist, admitting. Dr. Burnham's surgical team thank you "Jackie" for making me feel so comfortable before surgery. All my great nurses Fanny, Jessica, Caren and supervisors making sure I was comfortable. read more

Only 4 patient parking spots? No drop off zone or short term parking? Seek care elsewhere!

I had back surgery hereon April 21st with Dr Wilker. It's a tiny hospital but the drs & nurses along with support staff is excellent. I've been working in CVICU for 13 years and the care from Monrovia Memorial is superb. I've read a previous review that complained about parking and should go elsewhere for care due to the lack of parking, all I got to say is that I work at a large hospital with structured parking and would take Monrovia over my hospital any day. If you think quality of care is dependant on parking is a joke. In summary Dr Wilker and Monrovia Memorial is the best in surgery and post-op care I've ever had. read more

This facility is for patient who are confined to a bed for most of their days,. Patient who have the capability to walk and have moderate memory disorder will not be made comfortable here. They do not have any physical activities nor any mental stimulation . After 4 days of visit, a very close friend, found her mood getting sad and restless. She indicated she didn't want to stay there any longer as there was nothing for her to do? I got in touch with her doctor Palamo (Who is a great physician by the way) the next day and ask if I could take her on a pass. The doctor agreed and said he would write up the pass. I took my friend on ride in Monrovia and the ride allowed us to be friendly talk. However, Her colostomy bag was getting uncomfortable and she needed something for pain. When we return the aides were so aggressive, putting off her arm tags indicating she was release from there care. I asked to speak with the doctor and told them she needed a pain pill and that her colostomy bag was leaking. In the turmoil of the hospital,l I went outside to get call the doctor and had another immediate attention to pick up my grands from school on time. I assume they would contact the doctor and she receive the medical attention she needed. To my surprise, the doctor was not reached and the Social worker at Monrovia Memorial Hospital authorized them to transferred her to Vincent. The Social worker, Ms. Seiman did not admit here after the pass and then had her moved her to a facility called Vincent without contacting her sister. Ms.Sieman did not give her medication for pain as prescribed by the doctor. She did not treat the colostomy issue we reported to the aides upon our arrival. The next facility indicated the wounded area around the hole was tender and sore from not being treated for over 8 hours! 2 pm when I returned her to Memorial Memorial Hospital, and 10 pm when she was admitted to Vincent.For love and commitment to the staff, THIS WAS A VERY BAD CHOICE. read more

I had back surgery at this Hospital on 8/31/15. When we drove up the facility did not look like a typical hospital but a small brick building. The check in was easy and I was in a room within a half hour. I have visited a number of friends/family in hospitals in the last few years so I had a general expectation. The Doctors (4) and nurses (6) I interacted with were excellent. I was well informed and well cared for during the entire process. Requests were filled quickly and with a friendly attitude. I have read the other comments. It is a small place and in some respects, outdated. The TV remotes are 70's technology. But the place does specialize in surgeries and it services that specialty well. I give them 5 stars for the staff because in the end it was staff that had the biggest impact on my healing, not the building, the parking or the TV. I would recommend the place to a friend. read more

My mom was in Monrovia memorial hospital for about 2 weeks and she passed . The day she got there until she died every nurses , doctors took care of her. Anything she needs and called nurse they showed up right away. My mom is in heaven now but anyone needs to go on to that hospital, I really recommend their service and caring for patients . Even the next day my mom (Daw N Hlaing) passed, social service (Seema) called me how is everything . I really appreciated their great service and caring for my mom. My name is Jimmy and I personally thank you to all the hospital stuff. read more

My husband recently had spinal surgery at this hospital. It was a very stressful time for me. But I have to say that the hospital made it easier. The environment is clean and nice. And the staff was so helpful! It was so nice to see go to a hospital where everyone is smiling. I work in a doctors office (for about 8 years) and we always talk about how when you go to other offices/hospitals how nice it is to see people who obviously enjoy their jobs and that's the vibe that I got from all the employees at this hospital. Keep up the good work everyone. Would definitely not hesitate to come back if (God forbid) my husband or I need a surgery. read more

OK where do I begin. OK I was suppose to have surgery at Pacific Hospital of Long Beach but the Hospital was sold and turned into an medical/medicare, so that being the case my doctor's office called me and told me of the switch to a hospital called Monrovia Memorial Hospital (MMH). I'm not going to bore you with a geography lesson ,but I live in San Pedro and Long Beach is just a bridge ride over the LA port and your there. I was very upset with the change in hospitals, distance 43 miles one way. That all changed when I received my welcoming phone call from MMH. My review is gonna be for both surgeries I had at MMH in December of 2013, also I wouldn't want to leave anyone out so no names, plus don't remember them all. i got the phone call from a MMH and my anger i had for the change of hospitals changed, i was greeted by one of the most professional, understanding and knowledgeable person I've ever had to talk with from a hospital or a doctors office.I have been in a total of 7 different hospital's all in so.ca. I got the initial call from the hospital and the gal noticed right away my living in San Pedro so before beginning the patient questions for surgery, she ask me if I had a ride to the hospital or did I want arrangements made to be picked up and taken home, at no cost to me. It was from a Limousine company. i accepted and was picked up and brought home for both surgeries. (Lincoln Continental) nice rides and friendly drivers it was comfortable for me because of my injury being a knee without full motion, a very cool service if you need to sue. I will agree with some other post on yelp that MMH older looking or smaller.but that is actually part of the reason I enjoy my stay so much with very knowledgeable staff of physicians,supervisors,nurses, assistance, clerk, chefs , maintenance team, cleaning crew just everyone. The Hospital is very clean, organized and efficient. The staff dealt with any issues or complaint I had in an immediately and professional manner. I was treated with respect and dignity as all patients should be. Thank you. in my 2 visits at Monrovia Memorial Hospital I don't have anything negative to say about staff. with the exception of one nurse, she knows who she is, my stay was excellent!! I am not an employee at the hospital or being paid to post this review. if you've stayed in a hospital before you can relate. I would highly recommend Monrovia Memorial Hospital to my family, friends coworkers and anyone asked me.. Thank you to EVERYONE at The Monrovia Memorial Hospital for making me feel like I was part of your family during my two stays. i can't forget to send a big hug to the social worker who helped me dearly to the pre-op nurse who joked with me before both of my operations to kinda of calm me down some and also made 4-5 phone calls after my discharge just to ask me How are you doing? If there's anything you need don't hesitate to call me or the hospital!!! THANKS!!!! Sorry I took so long to post.. George Bloomfield San Pedro, CA. 90731 read more

My mother had surgery at Monrovia Memorial Hospital and they made an scary situation, less scary and comforting. The staff was friendly, the place was clean and inviting, and the food was good. The kitchen manager, Michelle, even came in and spoke to us, when do you ever see that? I would recommend Monrovia Memorial Hospital to anyone needing care or surgery. Thank you MMH!! read more

We had our mom stay at Monrovia Memorial Hospital in JUNE 2013 to recover from Pneumonia and other respiratory problems. She was there for six weeks and although it seems like a very long time; she did well and everyday was an improvement we were thankful for. Everyone at the Hospital played an important part in her recovery from the CNAs, to RNs, to Respiratory Technicians, Doctors, and Administration personnel. We are thankful to everyone for caring enough and for listening to every concern we had and acting upon that to be efficient and effective. Our mom left the Hospital much improved and we know is because of the care she received at Monrovia Memorial. Our entire family is grateful and wishes other families have a positive experience as well. read more

Staff in this hospital was very accomodating and sensitive to our needs before and after surgery. Hospital was clean and not too big to get lost. The down side is that they place three patients in the same room and it was kind of crowded. They have to re arrenge things to take or bring patient in. read more

My mom was transferred to Monrovia Memorial Hospital from Arcadia Methodist Hospital. When I first entered the facility I had a lot of concerns looking at the Hospital itself. It is a no frills hospital but kept very clean. However, I couldn't have been more grateful and appreciate the excellent care and concerns for my well-being as well as my Mom's well being. The staff is excellent and I can't say enough in words to explain how compassionate they are from the cleaning crew, the cafeteria works to the Nursing staff and supervisors -- and of course the Doctors, social workers and respiratory therapists.. The Nursing staff and the nursing supervisors are the most compassionate that I have ever witnessed and I have been to many facilities for my mom. My mom passed away, while in their care, as she had pneumonia and she was 90 1/2. Her lungs just gave out and I had to take her off the bi pap machine, she had no quality of life. Everyone helped me thru this very difficult decision with so much compassion. I could call anytime day or late evening and they would give me updates to her condition, when I wasn't there - although I visited her almost everyday. I don't know what Parsi F is referring to in her review --- he or she must have been at another hospital because what she is writing isn't factual --- at least in my case. I would recommend anyone that has to go into a long-term Medicare hospital facility to come to this hospital. read more

Hello there everyone, my gratitude and appreciation for the doctors and staff at Monrovia Memorial Hospital cannot be explained in words alone. I recently had the experience of my mother falling ill in a really bad way. She was transferred to Monrovia Memorial Hospital where they performed the best care and service I have seen in the seven years. I had to follow my mom from hospital to hospital and THIS facility is professional and very caring. The staff understands the need for compassion and dignity. They have nothing less than the best care that I have witnessed in my tour of facilities in hospitals throughout my moms illness. I am so thankful for the team at this hospital! I can't even repay my thanks and gratitude; they are the best. read more
