I arrived at 2pm to meet my friend who was ordered to come here by here PA. Vitals, blood work and ultrasound done on foot. It is 12:58 am and she still has not been seen by a physician or given results of ultrasound. This ER is horrible!!!

Sat in the ER for 8 hours, and 20 minutes to be seen for a constricted air way. Kept being told your the next person, but this was a lie. My wife, and I watched several people go in front of us. After getting seen finally, the rest of the staff past the ER was amazing. But. Hopefully never again.

Worse hospital ever. My husband came in for severe abdominal pain.. we waited 3 hours and didn't get to see a doctor. We decided to get up and leave to community hospital which has much better staff that make a HUGE difference!! Within 20 minutes we have been seen and have a bed.

WRONG ADDRESS! GO TO 2801 Atlantic Avenue Long Beach, CA 90755 for Long Beach Memorial Hospital. Thanks to another reviewer (Saquita Turks) in this thread for helping. I'm putting this again just in case my review shows first, since hers was towards the end.

This is the worse hospital in California. I have been sitting here since 8 this morning for left shoulder and left arm pain and i have not been seen yet. They haven't given me anything for the pain and i had requested it. This emergency room department needs to be shut down.

Horrible service. I dislocated my shoulder and got checked in pretty quickly which was nice, but that's where the good service ended. I waited 3 1/2 hours with a DISLOCATED shoulder while they slowly moved me along to testing and finding a room. I was repeatedly passed over by nurses going to "see when the doctor will be available". Eventually the pain got do bad I was bought to tears, and the medicine administered was losing any effect. They finally saw me and used a technique which required I put my OWN shoulder back in while they "assisted". The pain was excruciating and after 4 hours of waiting, i didn't wish my shoulder wasnt dislocated, i only wished I had driven to Kaiser instead.

If I could put cero stars I would!! I agree with the other two people that say this is the worse hospital in California. My husband is in for spinal surgery and the nurses have no compassion when moving him they’ve hurt him many times. And when my husband calls them for help they take for ever to come, sometimes he has to call more than once.

Hospital kicked out my 2 year old son that has underlying complex conditions such as seizures and breathing issues, he is considered medically fragile since birth. He is non walking/ non verbal/ poor hearing and vision. He is fed through gtube. I got him admitted into the PICU for RSV and bilateral pneumonia on Feb 26; through the ER. 20 days later he is still fighting the viral infection. PICU doctor called me very irate to pick up my son and take him home; because he had been in there too long, even though he was not medically ready to come home. Some of the nurses were extremely lazy and the times I was there, they hardly or rarely walked into my sons room and some nurses were complaining of suctioning that he was too much to handle and they were suctioning too much. His oxygen had dropped to 11 percent and he turned blue and they had to bag him twice , 2 days prior to them releasing him. Many times when we walked in his nasal cannula was off his face, he had an excruciating amount of phlegm all over his face and eyes and muffled under pillows and his machines were going off and nobody would walk into the room. One of the doctors had a conversation with us and told us the reason they were kicking my son out was because the nurses had complained too much that he was too much to handle and they had no downtime and the doctors got annoyed. It is awful to release a patient when he’s not medically ready only because he’s been there’s long enough and nurses are complaining. They released my son on 3-4 liters of oxygen, he is still in much distress fighting the infection; with a very ween and weak cough; unable to expectorate. I get bloody phlegm when I suction. I have him connected to the monitor at home and the monitor keeps going off. I do not have the proper equipment at home for emergencies and if they couldn’t handle him and they’re the picu; how can they justify kicking him out and sending him home. Right now he’s in a lot of distress, crying in pain and groaning. They also released him with no portable oxygen to take him out, I only have oxygen for home use. No formula, for me to feed him; he has a gtube. And no prescriptions. They were so desperate for him to be out that they didn’t write any orders. I had to call the next day and be on the phone all day with insurance and supplier attempting to get everything. My son had massive seizures when we got home that night, and I administered my last dose of emergency seizure med. He mainly or only has seizures when he’s fighting something. He does not cry only when he’s in pain. I see a lot of negligence from the staff, he was ignored and possibly aspirated from them feeding him so fast and never coming into the room to check on him; which caused him to be this way again. He was already doing fine then he backtracked when some nurses cared for him that were ignoring him. I have a medical degree myself and I’m knowledgeable in medicine and diagnosing. The same way I took him in on February 26, is the same way they released him to me. When around early March; he was smiling; happy, cooing, and not in distress. This tells me there was negligence from nurses in between and they tried to cover it up by sending him home. I will be looking into filing complaints. Anybody can contact me that wishes to do so. I heard stories of other parents. We trust these people with the lives of our children and this is what we get

At a hospital the doctors are subcontractors work at memorial care, which means when you see a doctor they are not employed with the hospital or are they on salary, the doctors are outsiders that must carry their own mal practice insurance, but the hospital is a separate which allows the doctors to utilize the staff and hospital equipment, which just like going to a urgent care doctor on the corner of your block, if your not satisfied with the way your being treated or care, request another doctor now or go to another hospital right away do not become a door Matt or a puppet your life depends on it. Good luck!

Have called the listed main telephone # 3 times over the past 2 hours. No one answers. There is not even a machine. What gives? My niece has been admitted. Very worried about her.

They will hold you hostage to charge your insurance more regardless of how well you are. Also they will expose you to infectious people in hopes of making you sick to keep you longer. Placed a homeless man with a high fever sever cough and no idea what was wrong with him in bed next to me. All nurses and Dr. wore mask but did not offer me one.
