I can definitely say it was this meeting that saved his life. Dr. Uomoto is now his primary care physician and has been seeing him on a regular basis along with Dr. David Kattan. Together they have kept a close eye on him to make he remains in good health. Fast forward to today, Six years later once again we are here at the 8700 Beverly Blvd Location. Once again we are under wonderful and expert care. Our Journey started at the ER and eventually worked it's way through a few rooms. Eventually after full admission we ended up on the 3rd floor. Along the way there were so many individuals along the way that made me feel heard, acknowledged and like we really matter. I gave my word that I would fill out a survey and I intend on keeping that promise. A special shout out goes to Stormi. We picked up right where we Left off six years ago and she remains a safe space to express my self and ask questions. Deandre, CP - your kindness and sense of humor is well known amongst your colleagues. I wanted to feed pops but the but the swallow test you initiated caused us to confirm that he no longer had the ability to swallow. This saved so much drama and further complications .

As a patient dealing with a cancer diagnosis, finding the right care team changes everything. My…read moreexperience at the Cedars-Sinai Cancer Center has been nothing short of exceptional. From day one, my oncologist and clinical team provided clear, honest guidance, taking the time to map out a precise treatment plan and answer every single question I had. The medical expertise here is world-class, but what truly sets this center apart is the physicians and nurses at the center. They turn a stressful experience into a comfortable one with their constant attentiveness, warmth, and genuine compassion. You never feel like just another chart number; they treat you like a human being.

I want to take a moment to say thank you to everyone who helped my son during his surgery at…read moreMonterey Park Hospital on 3/5/26, especially Dr. Yao and every RN and anesthesiologist who was there. We arrived at 5 a.m. for his outpatient surgery, and from the moment we walked in they checked us in right away, took us to the room, and started preparing my son. He was very scared, but every single RN, anesthesiologist, and doctor was incredibly kind. They took the time to talk to both of us, explain the process, comfort him, and even held his hand to help him feel safe. The recovery took about an hour and 30 minutes, and during that whole time the staff kept checking on us and asking if we needed anything. It really meant a lot to see how much they cared. I'm truly grateful for the compassion, patience, and professionalism everyone showed that morning. Thank you to all of you who were there and took such good care of my son. It made a very scary day much easier for our family. 3/52026 thank you again

Last Friday afternoon I went for an outpatient x-ray because my former imaging center closed down,…read moreand the hospital is very close to my house. I was the only person in the waiting area, but the receptionist wouldn't finish processing me until my doctor contacted her with some number she needed for sending him the x-ray results. After waiting an hour I finally left because I didn't know if or when the doctor's office would ever call her back. The reason for the one star: the receptionist in the x-ray waiting room was coughing and not wearing a mask. Sure enough, I woke up the next morning with a dry cough and have been coughing all weekend. You would think that a hospital employee would know to wear a mask if she is sick.

Was brought here by a friend immediately on Friday night and had surgery Saturday morning to get a titanium rod and screws. The nursing staff was excellent, and my surgeon Dr. Shah was super cool and did a phenomenal job. From Friday to Monday, they did everything possible to keep me comfortable. TBH I'm shocked this place only has 3 stars... it's a great hospital with an even better staff. And yes they have a reputation for food and it's actually pretty good, however it's a bit bland for patients, way better as a visitor. Anyways, highly recommend them. Will not return LOL

I am writing to formally document my grievances regarding the life-threatening care I received at…read moreHuntington Hospital during two separate incidents. During my delivery, Dr. Edward Merchant allowed my due date to lapse significantly. On the day of delivery, I was ignored for hours following the departure of the head nurse. Despite my deteriorating condition, Dr. Merchant refused to intervene and went to sleep in the physician's rest area. A code was eventually called when my blood pressure dropped dangerously low. My previous physician, who was on call, had to intervene to perform a crash emergency C-section. Furthermore, Dr. Merchant falsified my medical records by documenting the event as a "normal uneventful delivery." It was an emergency crash C-section as confirmed by the nurses to me the following day. In a subsequent emergency room visit for a severe allergic reaction, I was dismissed by the triage nurse, Maryann Magdaleno, RN, and sent back to a filthy, crowded waiting room for hours. I eventually went home and was called back at 3:00 AM, at which point my blood pressure was 60/0. While my chart indicates I was seen by a Dr. Stinnett, I never saw a physician during that visit. Despite reporting these incidents to the appropriate oversight agencies and the BRN, I have not received a satisfactory resolution. The hospital has continued to stonewall requests for information regarding staffing schedules and this particular nurse on call that night. I am formally expressing my concerns regarding the unethical and unprofessional conduct I recently experienced from Huntington Hospital medical staff. This behavior compromised my safety and fell well below the expected medical standards for their scope of practice. It is essential that the personnel involved are held accountable for these actions to ensure that future patients do not encounter the same lack of care and professionalism. I trust that you will take the necessary steps to address this matter. These experiences were devastating, and I cannot recommend Huntington Hospital to anyone seeking safe or professional medical care.

The bad news: I went in at 8:45am did not receive any real treatment except and IV until around 2pm. I didn't get out and complete everything until after 4pm. Spent nearly an entire work shift just to get seen and checked. They are extremely understaffed and overbooked with walk ins. They need more CT scan rooms, and nurses willing to see patients. At the end of the day, I was treated, but I did not feel cared for and did not feel like I was important. Of course, there are other patients and we all want to be prioritized but the issue is they receive more patients than they can handle and it does not seem to matter to them at all. You will get treated, just expect to waste a lot of time.

That could've been acceptable if it weren't in combination with other things. Two, one time I arrived FIVE minutes late and my therapist was already with another patient! Wth? Do they not have windows of time for each appointment? Then she ended up helping us both at the same time. And three, at my most recent appointment I didn't like how the maintenance worker was able to walk around like nothing where people are doing therapy, and taking glances at certain moves and stretches. Worse, as I was leaving he was outside and made comments about my moves and therapy! I was aghast and told him that is very unprofessional.

What really upset me was the way one of the resident doctors spoke to me. In the middle of a very stressful situation, he asked me, "does your mom want to die?" completely out of nowhere. As someone already dealing with anxiety and having just lost my dad last year, that was incredibly upsetting and honestly felt insensitive and inappropriate. I understand my mom was in a serious condition at the time, but there's a way to communicate with families that shows empathy and respect. In that moment, it felt like we were just another case instead of people going through something difficult. I'm grateful my mom is doing better now, but that experience really stuck with me.

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!

I looked into this hospital a while ago when I was trying to find a place to have my baby, and I…read morewas a little unsure about delivering here. But, after my experience, I can't recommend this hospital enough! The nurses and staff were amazing and so attentive to my child and me. It was my second cesarean, and the care I received while I was there was wonderful and incomparable. I didn't get this kind of treatment with my first c-section. They helped me to the restroom when I needed it, and even helped me change my baby--simple things like that really helped me during my visit. I didn't feel neglected or stressed at all. The hospital is very clean, and even the few visitors I had commented on how kind and attentive the staff were. They even offered a free car seat and diaper bag for my baby. Overall, my hospital stay here was great! If I decide to have another baby, I would definitely deliver here again.

I asked to send in my lunch because my fever was coming down and with medicine I feel like I was able to eat.

Background On Visit: Last month my mom was transferred to this hospital from Greater El Monte…read moreCommunity Hospital for a Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) procedure. She was admitted saturday morning and was discharged in the afternoon on Sunday. Visitation Rights: 2 times. Location/Parking: Located between Venice and Catesby Ln.. Paid parking can be found in their private parking structure, meter parking along Grand/surrounding streets, and/or the place we decided to park near the metro station next to LA Trade Tech which was free on Saturday. It was about 15 to 20 minute walk. Ambiance/Decor: Hospital is alright and relatively clean. They also have a outdoor patio to sit and enjoy some sunshine. Order Of Visitor Operations: 1) Walk in and get a visitor badge. They have face masks on the counter for you. 2) You can visit the gift shop or just take the elevator to where your love one/ones are. Service/Experience: Service was great. The nurses and doctors that were assigned to my mom provide great care and was thorough in explaining of the procedure that was going to be done on the following day. The nurses didn't struggle with operating the aspirator device compared to the other hospitals that she was transferred to before going to Diginity. Long story short, my mom had gastritis and was actually able to go home on the same day she had the EGD. Dignity Health For Thought: Overall, my mom's experience was good and the nurses and doctors were professional and thorough in their explanation of the procedure that was going to be done. Glad she able to go home on the same day.

If you are assigned Charge Nurse Louisa on the 7th floor, or RN Vidia Bakert or CNA Carla Smith, I…read morestrongly recommend requesting a different nurse/CNA immediately. CNA Carla Smith is normally in Registry and, based on my experience, appears to "float" into different areas. Based on my experience, I would not feel comfortable having any one of these employees responsible for the care of myself or a loved one. Please advocate for yourself and your loved one and speak up if you have concerns about the care being provided. Doing so could help ensure safer care for you or your loved one. I also had difficulty obtaining assistance through Patient Experience. I was unable to reach Garrett South by phone because my calls were not answered and there was no voicemail available. I experienced the same difficulty when attempting to reach Matt Salas, and I was unable to determine which department he works in, I was provided his name as a point of contact for assistance. My purpose in sharing this review is not to make accusations, but to encourage patients and families to ask questions, advocate for themselves, and request additional assistance when they have concerns about their care. Patients deserve to feel heard, respected, and confident in the care they receive.

In Los Angeles, you have to pretty much roll up Dead or Close to Dead for anyone in Urgent Care/ Emergency/ ICU to even Talk to you. I Legit called 911 at the Request of my Friends and Family who live Outside of L.A., (where Doctors and Nurses actually take a look at you before you Kick the Bucket) and the Paramedics told me they would basically be an Expensive Uber while I Wait Forever since my Head was not Bleeding Out. Thanks to the world of Yelp Reviews, (and my Intimate Knowledge of L.A. County) I found the Sanctuary that is Providence Saint Joseph's in Burbank, open 24-7. No Sooner had I handed the Admissions Nurse my Registration (my Rear literally landed for 2 Seconds on my Comfy Seat in a very Sparsely Populated ) than another Nurse called me into a Room with a Doctor overseeing from his Computer. They took my Vitals and ran a Preliminary Diagnostic within minutes before I was promptly sent to get my Bloodwork done. I didn't even have time to Sit before I was called in for my Bloodwork, which was over and Done with Lickety Split before sending me back to my Comfy Chair back in the Lobby. This is where the actual Waiting happened, where as I was told by the Hematologist would take the Lab about 1.5 hours to get the Results. Fortunately, having experienced the Nightmare that is an L.A. Emergency Room on one other occasion, I brought a Book. By the time I finished said Book once Hour 2 Rolled around, I started getting Antsy and asked the Admissions Nurse how much Longer it would be. She said the Lab Work had come in, they were just waiting for a Room to see me in now. Moments later, I was called in. The next Doctor reassured me that there were no Blood Clots, Liver, or Heart Failure... the Bilateral Swelling in my Feet was the Result of a Reaction to a Brown Recluse Spider and several Mosquito Bites, for which he Prescribed me some Steroids from the nearest 24-7 CVS that made the Swelling go away within 2 Days. The only Downside of this place is that it has a Mandatory $10 Parking Lot, which is absolutely Nutty considering it is Mostly Empty for Several Floors. Like, C'mon. That's Ridonkulous. But aside from that BS, the Facility is as Extremely Clean as it is Comfortable, and the Staff is as wicked Friendly as it is Efficient! 3000 Stars!!!

My review is specifically for the ER department…read more I truly try to be understanding because I know hospitals are understaffed, overwhelmed, and the staff deals with difficult situations every day. I've always remained polite and patient during my visits. But after multiple experiences here, I honestly feel like something needs to be said. Every single time I've come to this ER, the wait has been excessive -- usually 7+ hours just to be seen or placed in a room, followed by several more hours waiting for updates or care once inside. I understand emergencies happen and patients are prioritized by severity, but the overall experience feels extremely disorganized and lacking compassion. The waiting room is consistently dirty and overcrowded, with visibly sick people sitting for hours without updates. What bothered me most, though, was the attitude from some of the staff at the front desk. Patients and family members asking simple questions are often spoken to like they're inconveniencing the staff just for needing help or clarification. During my most recent visit, I spent nearly 10 hours there before eventually deciding to decline admission and go home. I was placed in a room without a pillow or blanket and asked three separate times for a blanket, but was ignored each time. No one expects perfection, especially in a busy ER. But basic compassion, communication, and respect should still exist. People come to the emergency room scared, sick, in pain, and vulnerable. The way patients are treated matters just as much as the medical care itself. I genuinely hope this department improves, because no patient should leave feeling dismissed, ignored, or like they were a burden for simply needing medical help.
