This place is just crap for the lack of a better word ! Came to emergency, since my mom was unwell. went to urgent care, thinking mom could be having some form of vertigo and they sent us to emergency. between the 2 places within a matter of 15 minutes, her blood pressure was checked thrice. at Urgent care the person said all the information will be sent over to Emergency, but we were seen by 5 nurses and 2 doctors. We had to tell each one of them why we were there. a doctors job is to diagnose based on tests and not get inputs from us who are not doctors and speculate on what the issue might be. For that advice we can use wikipedia / WebMD. It took 2 hours for somebody to even see us once we were in emergency. 2hrs to be seen in an emergency, isnt that ridiculous by itself? we ask them how many doctors are on duty, the nurses dont know. How many people ahead of us for the CT scan, nurses dont know.. it is just a few feet away. ask them whats next in the process, they dont know at the end of some xrays, labtests, a ct scan and some rather corny jokes, they tell us that they are unable to find anything from reports and it might be vertigo, which we already suspected. and they also gave us a printout from WebMD about Vertigo. The doctor Randeep Thiara was a real jackass. He had no supporting information for his inferences. He wanted us to run more tests and keep her under observation to figure out whats going on. Ask him why, he doesnt know!! We asked him to just give the meds and got the heck out of there before they could levy more tests on us. Mom is doing much better. The fact that they gave the meds which made mom better gives them 1 star. if you are not careful they are going to try everything on you and then send you a big fat bill. The common man places a doctor 2nd in line after God. You begin to lose faith in doctors after you see jokers like these guys. Rural hospitals in India would have treated us better than what we experienced @ Washington hospital ER.

HEART PATIENTS: DO NOT GO HERE..My brother in law was admitted to this hell hole and for two weeks. He walked in with water gain from his heart. Washington made him lay in bed for two weeks, they let his health deteriorate beyond sick. They let him get bleeding bed sores because all they did was made him lay in bed and did nothing to help him. They did not have pillows to stop bed sores? They never moved or adjusted him even after we complained, just let his sores get stuck to the sheets and bleed. When we would ask questions we would get excuses!! By the time he left he was shaking, could not understand anything he was saying, talking jibberish to himself like he has a brain problem! they never made him eat and never knew how much he ate? They did not care about him at all. Patients are left on there own. We finally got him transferred to Stanford after writing a complaint to the board of directors of Washington and Stanford was SICKENED at the lack of care and the bed sores washington hospital allowed him to get. We were told next to an elevator at Washington NOTHING MORE WE CAN DO AND NOT SURE HOW MUCH MORE THE HEART CAN TAKE !! and they still let him lye in a bed for weeks. By the time he left that hospital he was not talking, not walking and not eating. He walked in that hospital but could not walk out. I think they were giving him something we dont know about so he was delirious and hallucinating. Not sure what was going on. SOMETHING IS NOT RIGHT WITH THIS HOSPITAL. He has been in Standford for 5 days and he is talking normal after the first day, eating and they have him walking. SHAME ON YOU WASHINGTON HOSPITAL, SHAME ON YOU DR KUMAR!!!! Do not take your family to this hospital under any means. They will do NOTHING for you family..... I am filing a complaint with the Medical Board.

I traveled from Las Vegas to Fremont to have Dr.Mary Maish perform a Heller Myotomy,due to Achalasia.The day before surgery I had a pre-op appointment at 8:am,to do paperwork,labs, chest X-ray ,etc.I was done by 9:am .Everyone I met was so nice and very professional.The entire process was much different than any other experience Ive had at a hospital,and it went like clockwork. Later the same day I met Dr.Maish.She is one of the most petite women I have ever seen,However she is so full of knowledge and more passionate about what she does than anyone I have known.The surgery was a very complicated one but I knew I was in good hands.I cant say enough great things about my team in the operating room, recovery or the nurses that came into my room to see if I needed anything and take great care of me.Each one was just as sweet as the last. I have 4 incisions in my abdomen and never needed any pain meds during my stay or after.I was told the normal stay was 3-4 days but things went so well I was able to leave the hospital the next day with the understanding that I would not leave for Las Vegas till I talked to the Dr. the next morning.I would HIGHLY recomend this hospital and its team of people and Dr Mary Maish if you find yourself in need of a thoracic surgeon.

This hospital is a complete rip off. They will charge you for any thing. and the pricing are hospital discretion. Few examples: iburphese-- market value 20cents, at washington 20 dollars breast pump-- market value 25$, at washinton hospital 524$ blanket, though never used, since we brought our own. Market price = 15$. at washington charges = 517$. strip of vaseline = market cost = 1 dollar max, at Washington hospital around 30$. They are running this hospital as a business, while I argue with them about the pricing, their answer was that its their decision to chose whatever they can chose. no contest. There is no price control and based on the conversation i have with the billing department, they can engage in price fixing( the bulling person clearly mentioned that other hospitals are charging similar). Its a poor hospital, its not clean, messy and hardly any research output,

Beware, went to the ER, and was correctly treated (Ok actually) they recommended additional checks, and that was not done by a Doctor in my network , but that was done by an Out Of Network doctor, it looks like it is a common practice, before doing anything even if you start with a in-network doctor with a in-network hospital, they might present you in the middle of a procedure with a out-of-network doctor, and then they bill you and you are left with, a bill in the order of several thousand dollars. You have to ask firmly, if every doctor that interact with you or every procedure they do if he/she/it is covered by your insurance. Most Doctor do not know or dont say what insurance they cover you have to ask and insist.

Very bad service, I can say it worst.. They will not take care if patients well and process, bills anything will not go in a fine manner. I strongly strongly suggest do not go to this hospital until and unless you know a responsible doctor in this hospital. And please take care of bills, monitor them very closely. They have charged me around 700 bucks without sending it to insurance. They will send proper prescriptions also to the pharmacy I suffered twice with this mistake. For one day 1 hour 30 min service, they claimed it as 12 days service and they are not raedy to share the info that what kind of service they have provided it. what kind of fraud it is??
