I had a biopsy done today. The whole procedure was easy and the staff were exceptional. I really enjoyed the experience even though l do not like being in hospitals. Thanks for the wonderful care. read more

The majority of the medical staff at this hospital were excellent. The ER nurses--Jessica, Karen, Tiffany, Cathy, and student nurse Lorena--were attentive, kind, and actually listened. Dr. Ryan Shanannan was thorough, professional, and reassuring. On 2 South, Mae, Crystal, and Paige were exceptional--caring, knowledgeable, and clearly dedicated to their patients. Doctors Kim and Dr. C were compassionate, and the surgeon and anesthesiologist communicated clearly and confidently. Here comes the problem!!!!! Now, unfortunately, the complete opposite experience: Elliot from the ER phone line. Rude, dismissive, and completely unhelpful. I asked a straightforward question about possibly speaking with Dr. Shanannan. Instead of listening, he repeated the same irrelevant line about not giving out the doctor's schedule--which I never asked for. It was either a lack of comprehension or a lack of effort--neither is acceptable. When I asked to leave a message, I was told "we don't do that." No explanation. No alternative. Just a dead end. When I confirmed his name, he responded with attitude. When I asked his role, he refused to answer altogether--which raises serious concerns about transparency. Patients shouldn't have to question who they're speaking to when trying to get help. For someone in a frontline role at a hospital, basic communication and professionalism should be the bare minimum. Instead, the interaction felt dismissive and borderline disrespectful. It's disappointing, because one person like this can easily undermine the trust built by an otherwise excellent medical team. The hospital clearly has many outstanding professionals--Elliot is not one of them, clearly Elliot does not have human kindness. read more

My 89 yo Dad was slowly getting sicker over aprox. 10 day period. So not wanting to go to ED I took him to Urgent Care - CMH's Centers for Family, Saviers RD, Oxnard. Dr. Redding was very good and very nice. He listened to his lungs. Took CXR then said, "OK Mary! Your Dad has doubled his oxygen requirements today! (Went from 3 Liters to 6 L / Nasal Cannula or NC and still only 91 percent 02 concentration on 6 Liters. CXR looks like he probably has mild pneumonia. Only one place for your Dad to be - ED. So off we went!!! I was experiencing PTSD from ED MD 1 year ago. BUT this time only the " "A" TEAM was in ED! We had VIP service from Dietary Services to MDs. Nobody was more wonderful than Dr Vanna Parikh! She actually LISTENED! She's ABSOLUTELY the polar opposite of Dr. "Stop brining your Dad to ED, he should be on Hospice! How many times do I have to tell you to stop interrupting me?!" Himself! This visit we had two amazing Sound Hospitalists: Dr Barko & Dr Abkian. Dr Gil, Pulmonologist. Plus A- Team members of StJRMC Staff: RNs: ED: Dave G, Cory, Jane - Marie / 3 North: Michelle, Eva and Stephen, ED CT Tech: Jorge T / 3 North CNAs: Catalina, Ruby and Anna. Cat Scan Tech: Tammy, Cat Scan Transporter: Chris, Physical Therapist: Sarah, Respiratory Therapists: David & "Bree" Briana. (But all of them were very good!) Dietary Tech: Xavier. COPE Student Adam W! One Day soon he'll be an Amazing MD. Thank You to above and All the people who helped get Daddy D back home, doing better than he has in 6 weeks! My Coworkers would probably tell you that I'm very particular or picky even when it comes to standards of care. My sister, Michelle has even higher expectations but the above people more than exceeded are expectations - which is why I have writer's cramping going on in my right hand for writing all the Recommendations for awards for Exceptional Care Provided by above 19 - which also happens to be my Favorite Number. Nobody wants to take a loved one to ED but you All impressed us this visit! Thanks for your AMAZING Care!! Thanks for getting my Daddy D tweeked and home again, so much stronger than he has been in last 6 weeks or so! Mary Temple, BSN RN read more

My sister just had a horrible experience in a 4 day hospital stay here. Nurses need training in compassion, empathy, IV placement knowledge & more.. read more

I have a lot of health issues despite my young age and for the past two years this has been the hospital I always went to since it was closest to me. I had another visit last night and was is severe pain, I was shaking, panting, and doubled over in pain. The check in staff had zero empathy and were if anything acting like I was inconveniencing them. They were on their phones giggling and laughing while I was trying to explain my health issues which already sucked. On top of that when I finally was taken in the nurse in the first room where you they take your blood pressure and blood samples had a attitude the whole time I was in there, and got bothered when I told her the pain killer she recommended I take didn't work for me last time. She gave me an anti-nausea pill but didn't tell me how to take it and got upset when I asked her how I should take it! She lied to my face and told me she did tell me when she didn't, I even told another nurse before asking her how to take it and asked if I was supposed to take it with water to which he didn't know know I guess because he didn't say anything? I ended up just crying in the hallway, not even from the pain but from the emotional distress and disappointment I felt in my experience and treatment. After seeing all the poor reviews of this hospital I know it's best I don't come back and move to CMH or another. Please re-train your staff in empathy and compassion for their patients or maybe they all need therapy. Absolutely horrible and distressing experience. read more

This hospital went from good to mediocre. The doctors are in a hurry,they really don't care to listen for more than 3 minutes and they don't seem to really care to help you. Dr Ali Jamehdor think he is the last coca cola in the desert and he comes to see me after the first Dr left and he ditask me how I was feeling,just trying to release me and move on.He started lecturing me about going to my pain management and didn't understand that you can see your doctor when you want to .He started arguing and off course when I asked him if he likes to argue ,he blames me being difficult.Doctors gaslight you al the time and put the blame on you when you left them know you are being dismissed.He is a piece of work.The nurses were kind and attentive but the doctors have an I do t give a hoop attitude. read more

My mom passed away on Feb 17,2026 .No one was on the same page in hospital,I never received 1 call from a doctor even though I left my phone number . They called me and stated they were going to have to give my mom a shot and never stated what it was for? read more

During my visit to the hospital I was experiencing acute physical illness and significant distress, which impaired my ability to regulate my emotions. While I was actively expressing that I felt unwell and needed medical assistance a staff member identified as ESTEFANI attempted to have me removed from the facility. At no point were my medical concerns adequately assessed or addressed prior to this action. Instead of receiving de-escalation support, evaluation, or reassurance, I felt dismissed and pressured to leave despite clearly communicating that I was sick and required care. This interaction escalated my distress and did not reflect appropriate patient-centered care during a medical episode she was very unprofessional. 0 STARS read more

sucks!!! First Lady you talk to when entering the er was super rude. my daughter fainted in the waiting room and all she said was "I will call to the back". two nurses finally came out and took forever for a Doc to see my daughter. All the while she is crying In pain. Once again, I had to find the nurse and ask if and when my daughter would be seen. And no it was NOT busy. The waiting room was empty and the rooms in the back were mostly empty with no Doc in them. Once again I had to go ask for some medication for my daughter. Only after I made a puss did someone come and bring her meds. This is crap! read more

We are very grateful for the care Nurse Kori provided to my mother during her hospital stay for a very severe shoulder pain. Kori was incredibly kind, patient, and understanding - not only with my mom, but also with our family and friends who visited her room. She is clearly very knowledgeable and confident in her work, which gave us great peace of mind during a difficult time. We feel truly fortunate that Kori was my mother's nurse. Mom is home now and doing great! Thank you Nurse Kori and to the entire hospital and medical staff for the love, care, and support they showed our family. read more

Do not come to this hospital. Drs seem to not agree with each other nor communicate. (Most) nurses seemed to lack empathy, infection control, and would leave my love one unattended for hours even when the call button was pressed. They always seemed annoyed when you call them. You can get better quality care at another hospital in Ventura county than this one. One of the times the nurses on the second floor (efe I think was her name) was standing outside the room talking about how she got drunk last night and didn't sleep. No one in health care should be working under that condition, worried they weren't equipped to care for my love one hungover. This hospital is a death sentence. read more

My mom fainted because they couldn't find her vein to place the iv and they also did it to a elderly lady in her late 80s . I mentioned it to one of the nurses working here she's giggled about it and said " they have to learn some how " like if people coming to the ER aren't already in pain , they have to come and get stuck with needles several times until these trainee's get it right. They should go back to school so they can learn how to place a iv . Wouldn't recommend coming here . read more

Definitely not a friendly staff at all. If I could get the name of the nurse last night I'd mention her. She was extremely rude. I'm 31 and she kept talking & yelling at me like I'm a toddler. I was placed in a chair, not a room and was left there. I wasn't comfortable and wanted to extend my legs to lay down as I was not feeling well, which goes to show the care they have to patients. I tried to recline the chair, I even turned the chair in the direction to another chair to be able to extend my legs and I can over heart that nurse talking bad about me like I couldn't hear, apparently that was a huge issue for her. There was not one friendly staff member there. They did nothing to help my symptoms. There was no professionalism other than a bunch of snotty nurses thinking their shit doesn't stink. Nurses you're in OXNARD, get off your high horses and learn how to care for patients correctly. If you can- I'd take the drive to VCMC or CMH. Staff at those hospitals are professional and care. I had to come back to CMH to get the proper care I was not given here. read more

Some statements heard just sitting in room waiting to see a doctor Says girls in pain but he's in more pain then the patient Says he's a firefighter so don't call them after fire alarm goes off Talking about paitents in very rude light and manner Disrespectful things said and very unprofessional read more

I was rushed here via ambulance a month ago from St. John's Camarillo due to stroke. I had emergency surgery right away with top notch Dr Oni, I spent a few days in icu, before being downgraded to another room for a day and then was transferred to the in patient rehab on the fourth floor. I am so grateful. My nurses in the icu were so kind and caring. They were so gentle and compassionate. If I wasn't so out of it during recovery, I'd know the nurse's names. The rehab on the fourth floor- the team is nothing short of amazing. Nurses like Gladys, Alma- they took great care of me and also were so lovely to have conversations with. The rehabilitation team-Karen, Carrie and Michelle- they truly made rehabilitation fun and adding a sense of levity. The whole team made it HUMAN. I TRULY HOPE whoever handles the social media reviews for the hospital passes on this info to the people I mentioned, because they deserve it and their management needs to know what stellar people they really are. Thank you for saving my life and taking great care of me! read more

I had a great experience at St. John's hospital. I entered through the ER with a heart issue. I had fantastic triage personnel, met the wonderful Dr. Davies, who recommended some tests. I had wonderful texts in the e. R Adam, Danny and Adriana, I believe, is her name. And then when I went upstairs, I had fantastic rns. Such as Spencer, Justin marisol, they were fantastic for my 2 days in the hospital. I had lots of tests done. And the text at the labs Tricia, Dennis Tony were all A fantastic I couldn't ask for a better group of people. There was not one person that was that wasn't nice made me feel comfortable. The experience was 10 out of 105 out of 5. I recommend this hospital completely. I hope you don't need to go to a hospital but if you do this is the hospital to go to the crew was fantastic. I apologize for any typos.This is being dictated into my phone read more

Anyone coming here to dispose of medical sharps, please do not make the drive. This location does not accept medical waste even though it is listed as one of the locations for the medical sharps disposal program. This location is posted on various official websites such as the City of Port Hueneme and CSUCI university website as a location to safely dispose of this type of waste. I suggest this location be taken off as a drop off option so people don't make the drive with medical sharps/waste in their car. That's all I have to say here, the staff has always been nice to me here though. read more

Megan M needs to visit the ER and see what goes on there and see how the patients are treated I was there yesterday and couldn't breath and I told the Intake Lady and she said was going to tell the Nurse I waited for about a half hour and no one show up I ask her again and she said I let them know no one came out, Since I sat there from 8:30 to 4:00 and I saw how the people are treated when they come in and some are very sick all they say is to have a seat, We asked for Psychiatrist Evaluation and all they did was give me the phone number and when You call Behavioral Health center they say when You go to this hospital they will have some one from this program come and talk to you, Well no one did and they did not offer any help. Dr don't care and the only reason I was able to talk to the Dr is because I ask to see the Supervisor of ER or I was going to Management and make a complaint, They want to get you out as fast as they can, They make you think there going to help you and they send you off with a phone number. Megan M you should go and see instead of just pressing the button of Thank You for your Feedback, Maybe do your job. read more

A family member spent 36ish hours in ICU before dying. The staff in the ICU were kind and supportive and helped the family to make one of the hardest decisions with which we're faced. Things in the ICU went just as the staff suggested they would. We couldn't have asked for more in terms of their service to the family. It's a three star review because it took weeks to get the body released to the mortuary and that is unsettling and stressful. read more

I've been waiting to be seen for over 5 hours and was just told no one put me back on the schedule to see the Dr after my labs. Specifically Anthony g Mayra s were standing at the front desk talking about me when I was in eat shot. Very rude and unprofessional. read more

Received really quality, kind and attentive care in Labor and Delivery, Mother/Baby and NICU departments! I can't say enough good things about all of the staff we encountered. All spaces we were in were also clean. We had a tough run with a sick baby but the NICU staff saved her and the Mother/Baby nurses (recovery) really advocated for me. They are angels and I'm so grateful to them. read more

Hospitals are awful places to be, especially when neither you or your doctor knows what is wrong with you. That's what happened to me and it was the third emergency hospitalization I've had in less than a month so I was pretty confused and concerned. Because I came in on my own instead of by ambulance, I had a bit of a wait before I saw a doctor or nurse. However, thanks to the skilled Dr. Rothschild who was determined to find out what was going on with me, I was finally able to get an actual diagnosis. The care I received here was incredible and so many people to thank that I don't know where to start. Every nurse and every doctor and every other person who transported me or otherwise helped me deserve a huge thank you from the bottom of my heart. I'm so grateful for the loving care I received here. Special thanks to Kelsy and Chelsea, the dynamic duo of nurses and Hannah the phlebotomist read more

Long wait time in the winter, but they're pretty good at prioritizing who needs attention and their waiting room is better than many. Need to streamline the registration process somehow. Staff showed great care and enthusiasm in their work and being able to help as many people as they could. And were able to help me get very important and not entirely clear results, in a way i could understand. One major issue arose when the doctor failed to note my Necessary Surgery as an emergency. Which for paperwork reasons meant my insurance had 15 days to process the request, so i ended up staying in for 3 days before we figured that out. But its honestly wasnt bad, the staff were great and they had tv! Would recommend above some other hospitals read more

Took way to long just to get seen. Did not angle a great experience............................................................

This place is great not sure why the overall reviews are low? In my experience the staff is helpful and nice. The cafeteria food had taste and dining area is well maintained l. Cleaning staff does an excellent job of maintaining all common areas. Care for their patients is excellent, and the doctors keep the families well informed on their loved one's condition . read more

My husband had a heart procedure done there and the Doctors and staff take excellent care of him.

Easily the worst hospital I've been to im sure there is worse but for me personally its so far my worst. No doctor on duty physical assistant only not that it's necessarily a bad thing but he honestly wasn't good at his job, gave me wrong prescription didn't use alcohol to draw blood and my whole arm bruised in this area. Your better off at another hospital trust me read more

If there was a 0 star option I would give that. I had my second child here almost 2 years ago and I will never return. I am still processing how poorly I was treated as I'm finally writing this review pregnant with my third child. I came to the hospital in the morning and was dilated to 8cm. I thought "great! I'm almost there! Let's have the baby!" The staff was immediately frustrated that I was already so far along. They complained that I was on my hands and knees in the lobby as my husband was giving my ID to the front desk and checking in. Since I was so far along, I did not get an epidural, which I was happy about. They immediately started monitoring the baby without asking permission. They also would not let me move!! The Dr that was on at the time I got there was Dr Mallare. She was absolutely awful. She kept telling me I was pushing wrong and then getting angry when my husband suggested I move or shift because I have no epidural. The nurses and Dr Mallare completely ignored me and my husband the entire time just shouting that I need to push harder. Dr Mallare then threatened me saying "if you don't push harder, I'm going to wheel you into a C section" This was my second child... I know how to push, but they wouldn't let me move. Then my baby's heart rate started dropping because I was stuck on my back and I was uncomfortable and in destress. I pushed as hard as I could, a nurse asked if the baby was coming and Dr Mallare said "no just more blood" loud enough for my poor husband to hear. Thank God my actual Doctor walked in and asked what the heck was going on. Doctor Lanter saved me from a C section. My baby was stuck because I was forced on my back by the staff. Dr Lanter let me move, got baby unstuck with a vacuum and her fingers, and I have my healthy baby girl. Unfortunately I also have trauma thanks to this hospital and its staff. They DO NOT care about their patients. If they did, they would have listened to my husband who was advocating for me multiple times. They would have listened to me as I was begging to move between contractions. I also received NO lactation help. I shared with every nurse that I was having trouble and they all told me something different, then would leave the room. This review was a long time coming. If you want control in your birthing process, DO NOT GO HERE!!! read more

The staff is very nice and awesome. I had a miscarriage and the nurses and physician were very compassionate and empathetic about my situation. The only downside was the wait time. It was around 5 hours but I did it for my unborn child and I was anxious to find out. I would definitely go back. read more

I'm torn about this review. While the team that took care of my loved one was absolutely gracious, caring and understanding (surgeon and nurses), the admins left a lot to be desired. My loved one scheduled an oncology related surgery. As we approached the check in window we were met with the most uncaring, unfriendly, impatient and rude lady (although we were the only ones checking in). As everything got checked and cleared for surgery, my loved one was waiting in the pre-op room for 5 hrs. 5 hrs before they realized they couldn't performed the surgery because my loved one wasn't given the proper medication (antibiotics) to take the night before. No one had called to explain, to confirm or to check all the steps were taken. When we approached the admin check in office to "reschedule" she let us know that everything should have been emailed. As we checked, we showed her what we had received and in fact we hadn't received anything regarding antibiotics. Instead of apologizing for any miscommunication or dropped balls, we were talked in a very condescending and again impatient tone and told "we'll try to squeeze her in on Monday" if they had room. Aweful. My loved one had been fasting at this point for 18 hrs. Without taking her diabetic medications. Complete disregard for how she was feeling physically and/or emotionally. No empathy. Monday surgery went as planned. Thank you for the oncology surgeon and the nurses that took great care of my loved post op. But aweful experience with admin. read more

Typically going to the ER is going to take you a few hours. Our entire visit was about 40 minutes . But even if it did take 5 hours or 3 hours or 40 minutes.. the staff was really nice, patient, and informative. Thank you for helping us with Mila's ear infection today :) read more

My wife was rushed by ambulance to St John's, scarry experience for everyone. The ER nurses, but more so, the ER doctor was one of the best we have ever had. Amazing bedside manner, explanatory, caring. I can't thank the ER nurses and Doc enough for their care. Thank you read more

Terrible Emergency Dept, worse than others. Rude staff who roll their eyes when you ask polite medical questions. The "head nurse" struggled to take blood and didn't know how to put an IV in. They keep asking about end of life care over and over even though the patient is not hurt or deadly sick. I understand they have to ask, but 7 times? They must have lots of otherwise healthy patients who die once they are under St. John's "care." Spoke to some friends who had healthy relatives who either died in St. John's care or who St. John's "couldn't do anything for", but my friends took them to other hospitals (UCLA etc.) who saved them. The mood of the staff changes on a dime. Even if they were laughing and joking with you 30 mins ago, they may suddenly start ignoring you all together for reasons they never explain. They are very inexperienced here. Each basic procedure seems like a new skill to them. They don't even know how to work the buttons on the machines. Front desk doesn't answer the phone 9/10 times. The 1/10 times they do, they answer with their first name and not the hospital or dept., so you have no idea which dept is answering. They seemed confused by the idea that other doctors the patients have seen will have medical records they need. The doctor seemed annoyed I didn't arrive with a printed med list even though he had just asked me for the med list on the phone, I gave to him, and he seemed to be writing it all down. No effective or cohesive communication here between doctors, nurses, or other staff. The emergency room front desk seem to be the only ones who have a clue, but of course they are limited in what they can do. St John's: Instead of replying to me with a formulated "We're sorry to hear about your experience" message, go to other emergency depts in hospitals in LA and watch how the doctors and staff interact. Watch some YouTube videos on how to call other medical providers and ask them to send their records to you or how to access them through whatever system you use. Listen to your patients and their families. If a patient says he has pain in his leg and there is a large bruise, you should probably look at his leg. If you can't determine what's wrong from a brief exam, do some tests/an x-ray/an MRI, etc. If you've been trying one method to treat something and it's no improving the issue after several days, don't just say "I can't do anything." Try another medication that is intended to treat that issue and/or consult with another doctor, perhaps even one from another hospital. If the patient has all signs of dehydration and is asking for water, have them drink water. Take appropriate action and don't be afraid to keep looking if the first thing you tried isn't helping. read more

This is not a hospital I would recommend 2star is only for a nurse who helped my husband have a calm night after surgery. But the other nurses and anesthesiologist were not professional at all. Just one of all the mistakes they made that can give you an idea why I would not recommend this facility: they gave sugar IV to a diabetic patient after the surgery which even when we noticed and mentioned the head nurse of the night shift was shocked about it and changed the IV right away!!!! I am not satisfied at all and thank God our surgeon was supportive and taking care of us otherwiseI don't know how my husband would be feeling after all those unprofessional mistakes read more

Came here for an illness I had been dealing with for a few weeks prior to visit St John's. Unfortunately the previous providers would not provide any actual treatment for the problem. St. John's got me into triage quickly, less than 10 minutes even though I went at a busy time. All the staff was very friendly and had good bedside manner. I even noticed other patients got the same friendly professional treatment that I received. I was offered treatment immediately and I was already feeling better before I left! Thank you! read more

Staff make you wait 30 min to an hour to see a nurse then they make you wait 2 hours to see a doctor then another 2 hours to get results and get discharged from the hospital. you get a big bill after lucky for me I have 2 insurance to cover this otherwise I'd be stuck with big bill. read more

Nurses Brooke and Nancy in the triage maternity ward were amazing , sympathetic , and gave me the best care quality. Very lovely women

Last night we had to take my daughter to the ER because she had a cough that was causing difficulty breathing and she has asthma. We arrived at 10pm and were there for 3 hours. There were about 20-25 people in the waiting room. We got to see a nurse practitioner pretty quickly....less than 30 min and decided to rule out bronchitis with a chest X-ray. Overall would say the experience was better than expected, everyone was professional and kind and while 3 hours seems long...I believe this is what to be expected. I am bracing myself for the bill... which will likely be an obscene amt of $ considering our insurance plan is a high deductible plan and just visiting the ER cost $1K in copays and coinsurance for doing intake, taking vitals essentially. Now we will get a bill from the radiologist, nurse practitioner and X-ray cost likely leading to another 2K. Thankfully I refused a Covid test and flu test for her because how is that going to change anything, obviously this was a virus. Just a way to make more $. Overall, I give the staff good marks. I'm grateful to have a hospital to take my family to. Wish the system weren't so broken to hyper-inflate charges though. read more
