I was admitted here through a transfer from another hospital. At first, I was put on the 3rd floor, which is ICU/CCU/TELEMETRY, for the first few days then I was moved to "THE 5TH FLOOR" (twilight zone). The nurses on the 3rd floor seemed to be very attentive at first. Then, when I was moved to the "5th floor", everything just went downhill from there. Theres so much miscommunication among the Doctors & nurses is so unbelievable!!! Ive been here now about 2 weeks & I still have no answers from them, to whats wrong with me. Why is my body not responding to the medication like it should have? Im dealing with a lot of serious Pulmonary & Rheumatological issues, Im have to take it one minute at a time. I also noticed that theres a big difference in the night shift vs. day shifts. A lot of the nurses, I have noticed dont like to document patients complaints vs. symptoms. I THANK GOD EVERYDAY THAT IM ABLE TO SPEAK UP FOR MYSELF!!! THAT IM ABLE TO STAND-UP FOR MY RIGHTS AS A PATIENT!!! WELL, on one positive note... theres a couple of nurses on the 3rd & 5th floors that are nice. Would I come back here? NO Would I recommend this place to a Friend in case of an emergency/ direct admission? NO, PLEASE RUN, DONT WALK TO THE HOSPITAL. ¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤♡♥¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤ HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE!

This hospital is the worst. A friend was originally at Southern California Hospital at Culver city (Brotman) due to complications from her Lupus. They discharged her after 3 days. That same night she was feeling no better and her mother drive her to Cedars Sinai only to find out she had Pneumonia in both lungs and her heart was extremely swollen yet no one told her this at South cal @ Culver city. Due to insurance, she was transfered to So California hospital at Hollywood worst thing ever!! They didnt treat her with proper antibiotics and decided to give her blood thinners in her arm instead of her abdomen and she developed blood clots and a infection in her arm. They did surgery which only made it worse after a second surgery to close the wound she developed sepsis and died!! 44 years young. The entire time she was in pain, we had to practically yell at everyone to get anything done. Please stay away from this hospital if you want any chance of making it out alive. We definitely will be getting a wrongful death malpractice attorney!!

They refuse to let people use the bathroom, saying its their policy!!! Please note that in the Hollywood area there are no public restrooms, so if you have the need to go either too late at night or too early in the morning, you are out of luck. So watch your step in Hollywood, as people often are forced to use the street for their bathroom needs, and now you know why! And they call themselves a hospital. What a joke! A hospital is supposed to help and treat peoples afflictions. And you refuse to allow even for physiological needs? Shame on you, the ones claiming such absurdity - like its the hospital policy not to let people use the bathroom. Of course, they also have more humane employees at this hospital. Unfortunately they are at the mercy of the ones that are not, because the ones with no respect for human needs are the ones in position of authority - supervisors, administrative staff, etc. All in all, a hospital with no respect for the needs of their clients.

This place has the worse service i have ever seen. I waited 4hours befire even being seen bye a nurse once i was in my room. I only wanted Tylenol fir my pain. I waited another couole more hours until they decided to hook me up to my i.v . when i arrived most if the nurses were assisting an emergency. Somee guy was having a heart attack. One nurse from level 3 had to rush up to my level (level 4) to perform CPR on the man. Unfortunately he didnt make it. Afterwards(hours later they finially rolled his dead body being through the hallway like its nothing. Then taking that bed and remaking it for new patients like it was nothing. No sanatizing so wwiping down. Just clean sheets over. One of the doctors was even fast asleep at his desk while doing paperwork snoring louding for all patients to hereamd see. I was simply a transfer and i had to go through this whole ordeal. What a joke!! God forbid i came here with something serious.... Pssh i would have died.

With the exception of one very conscientious nurse, the other staff seemed remote and misinformed about my reason for coming here for aortic aneurism tests and lower back CT scans. At some point a referring doctor had mistakingly said I was suffering from severe abdominal distress and the staff would not listen to me for two days causing me to be denied food and drink on the basis of an incorrect diagnosis. Finally when my real reason for admission was understood, appropriate tests were performed, though considerable delays caused me to be deprived of meals yet again. After five long days I was discharged with no problems detected. I endured starvation, painful blood draws, the usual uncomfortable IV and antibiotic drips, and a strange hospital diet that gave me the runs for three days. You are on your own here. You must advocate for yourself clearly and forcefully and often or you will be buried.

HORRIBLE!!! DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME!!! I should have stayed away as the other reviewers said....but my child needed an xray & they were the only option for a 24hr Urgent Care. We waited maybe 20min, the tech came & took two Xrays, made us go back to the waiting room, waiting maybe another 15min, a nurse came out with discharge papers...What?! He says "Nothing is broken you can go home"...Are you freaking kidding me?! I tell him "Why isnt the dr going to exam my son, how can you say everything is fine without an exam, arent you going to at least wrap the hurt area". He leaves, calls us back, takes us to this tiny room, where they are treating two other patients (Um, patient privacy Violation here) he wraps my sons foot, I ask wheres the Dr. he says Oh he just left...WOW!!! I swear if they charge my Ins. for a Dr. exam I will fight it because my son was not properly treated...

This is the worst hospital ever.. The doctors lack communication and dont explain the care to their patients... They try to give medication when there was no symptoms... The nursing assistant never washed their hands after care.. The nursing assistant used the same gloves on different residents... It looks like a hole in the wall doctors office... No one knocks before entering the room... Noone come in to clean the restroom.. And the biggest thing is the nurses talks so loud about the patients personal information that everyone around the nursers station can hear... The broads on the walls in the patients room was never updated... This hospital is horrible and needs a lot of change.

I just spent a week at the hospital for a major surgery and recovery time. The staff there was absolutely amazing and they calmed my fears of having to go under for the first time since I was a little kid. I stayed on the second floor where the staff and I had a really good relationship. Shift changes always went smooth and they would always make sure to let me know when there was new staff on duty that I had not met. The hospital director personally came by several times to make sure things were running smoothly. My only negative was that the guest wifi needed improvement. I had to use my own 4G data all week but hey if thats my only gripe I day they were doing quite well.
