my little brother was transferred to this hospital from an emergency room in san gabriel. he had a heart attack and needed an angiogram. on his delivery the ambulance drivers contracted were very nice and informative to my brother. my brother was admitted to the icu intensive care unit ccr critical care respiratory rm 17. the operator was nice, transferred me to that unit.. the women i presume my brothers nurse...was polite, kind, friendly. she was pleasant and calming since i was calling from san bernardino. she explained and answered all my questions, she also related a message to isaac for me that i loved him. i heard the angiogram went well and test went well. i havent heard any complaints so far. so thank you MH. i was actually concerned my brother weighs upwards of 400-500lbs. but so everyone knows they can handle and take care of super obese patients. much gratitude to MH, thank you ICU/CCR rm17

I was having heart palpitations for 6 hours with a pulse of 155 when I arrived. After getting my info, triage nurse Lori immediately took care of me, getting a EKG reading and had me taken to a bed where I was respectfully and kindly treated by RN Steve and Dr. Romero. They explained what they planned to do to help my heart rate slow down and what I would probably be feeling. The medication addressed my symptoms of supraventricular tachycardia and my heart resumed normal rhythm. I had brought my bp meds. Dr. Romero was able to replace another bp med for one I was taking for years that may have been depleting me of potassium. I was very pleased with the quick response to my symptoms, the competent staff and the kind treatment. Thank you, Arcadia Methodist ER Team, for being there for me and my family in crisis moments like this!

The nurse that was supposed to be "helping" my sister was terrible when she was delivering, she was mean, unorganized, took for ever to sing her in, her name is Linda which the name does not fit her at all she was sarcastic an awful human being, she did not listen to my sister when she explaining that she was in so much pain! and she would go away and not caring, she felt like a know it all and do what ever she wanted, we had never had this problem before with any nurse, all the other ladies that were helping her after where so nice BE AWARE!!! She didnt file the all the information of the surgery for next day non of the nurses or doctors were aware of the surgery! She did all wrong and she ordered the epidural at the very last moment, nowadays this should not happen! I just hope that God will repay her the same way some day!!

They saved my life here in 2006. I agree, their Emergency Room is absolutely terrible. Their insensitivity to pain control issues is awful. That being said, the cardiology at this hospital is second to none when it comes to bringing you back from the dead. Drs Soldo, Yun, and their man Richard are the best in the business. The real problem with this hospital is the nursing staff. They recruit way too heavily overseas, so there is a fundamental lack of cultural sensitivity. They could do with some training in that regard. As compared to other hospitals, the nursing staff is this hospital actually obstructs the flow of services. Why? Way too much socializing, lack of basic communication skills, and a culture of avoidance, all traceable to lack of supervision.

took our son in yesterday and despite a long day in the emergency room, they got him in quickly and the nurses (especially Steve) were very compassionate in taking care of him Hospitals are difficult places to be and especially emergency rooms. It was this nurse, not the doctor who kept us informed and help us understand. Our son had to be admitted and I do think as patients and families, we sometimes dont realize the stress we can add into the situation because we are worried. I hope he continues to get good care while he is there, I believe in most cases, not all, that the intention of most hospital staff is caring in their work.

My wife had terrible pain in her head and weve waited in the ER waiting room for more than 5 hours to be seen. They took her in the ER room and we waited for another 2 hours before they examined my wife conditions. I seen a bunch of nurses sitting on theirs lazy asses doing nothing but talking and laughing. This damn hospital is a joke, they just want to keep patients in as long as they can so they can charge more. This is my first visit in this hospital and it will be my last. Horrible. Horrible hospital stay away from this hospital if you are injured and want to live. I will NOT recommend anyone to come to this hospital.

My Primary doctor sent me to the ER because i have Gallstones in my Gall Bladder and he said it could be infected was in a lot of pain waited 5 hours. After the 4th hour I went to registration window and told the girl I was in a lot of pain. She was busy texting someone on her phone and didnt even notice I was standing in front of her Again I told the girl Im in a lot of pain.. She said ill let the nurse know she showed No COMPASSION what so ever and was rude. Waited for a nurse to come no one ever came. She never told the nurse. I ended up leaving the ER and went to another hospital and got seen right away.

HI

The emergency room is always abysmally slow. EVERYONE HERE IS TOO BUSY SMOKING AND JOKING HAD TO CALL THE CHARGE NURSE TO HAVE HER SHUT DOWN THE SMOKE AND JOKE BECAUSE THE MANIACAL LAUGHING WAS DISTURBING EVERYONE No compassion whatsoever Homeless people sleeping in the chairs with their stuff everywhere! Its always reassuring when the emergency room security guard is telling the other guard about getting his ass kicked by a bunch of "Asian kids" in Santa Monica when he decided to say something to them about tagging the sidewalk. "The last thing he remembers before blacking out"

This is the nearest hospital near my house and its always been the one I go to whenever Im not feeling so great. I was there just yesterday night. I checked in around 4:37pm. I waited and waited, everyone got called in, all except for me. 7:50pm came around and I decided to leave. I went to the ER because my left side wouldnt stop hurting for 2 days. Now Im bleeding whenever I use the bathroom and Im in the most excruciating pain. My parents are telling me to go to the Methodist hospital but if it means not getting the help I so desperately need, then Ill pass. Ill go elsewhere.

The am doctors are jerks! Also Dr David Hong is a pm Dr and he is horrible! I went in with kidney pain and neck pain. He put a neck brace on after a CT scan was Done. When the results came in from the CT scan he came in and ripped off the neck brace and told me my neck wasnt broken! I never claimed it was broken or thought I did anything to injure it. He told me the kidney stone they found wasnt causing me pain! So I was sent home without any pain medicine or treatment! When you dont feel well Drs are supposed to help not make you feel worse.
