Community Hospital

Came in Around 5pm on a Monday to have girlfriend checked because she was pregnant and feeling a little weird, her blood pressure was just a little higher than normal, the doctors then said she had to get induced and told us they would start immediately without telling us why until the next day, or even giving us option on how we could proceed from here on, when the induction started it was 12am she was dilated 2cm when arrived, by 4am she was 5cm, then the doctors didn't come back around for about 8 whole hours, even though she should have been getting checked every 2 hours, then when they decided to come back and check on us it was already 1:30pm the next day and when they checked her dilation the babies head had already dropped and she was ready to give birth. Keep in mind they didn't check her dilate until I called the nurses from the room MYSELF because she was getting feverish, it might be a hunch but we believe it's because she was left unattended for so long. The birth itself was the only good part about being here, after the baby was born we had to stay another day due to getting checked making sure everything was okay, that was understandable. But throughout the night we only got checked on ONE Time, Like excuse me we are first time parents and you're not going to check on us regularly as you should? our whole stay we kept getting told we would get checked on every so and so hour, but when it came to it the nurses would take 3 hours 4hours an hour extra and so on. We were just upset at the whole situation we got put in once arriving at the hospital. At one point my girlfriend got put on blood pressure vitamins, the nurse who delivered the first pill to see what would happen said she would be back in 2 hours... 4 hours went by and it wasn't until a new shift started that we found out from another nurse that the previous nurses shift had ended, therefor we had to restart the whole vitamin process and observe her behavior after taking the pill AGAIN, after all this we had been here already for 3NIGHTS and 4DAYS. Another time my girlfriend started crying because she was getting stressed out by the whole thing like do you guys not see the strain your putting on us leaving us wondering whats gonna happen next not telling us anything for hours at a time? After about the second day My girlfriend then started feeling fine, saying she felt ready to go home when we would make the nurses and doctors acknowledge this they would blow over our opinions and proceed to say we still couldn't leave the hospital. Whenever we would ask when we would be discharged they would just ignore us and keep doing their thing, and it wouldn't be until the next shift change where a nurse would finally tell us we can't leave for another day. keep in mind during these times of covid-19 no one is allowed to walk in or out our room therefore we were stuck in one room practically against our wishes and when we asked a nurse if we could have someone bring us stuff to the door outside she said yes but when the time came to have someone drop off extra clothes and we asked her to pick it up at the door, she gave us a whole attitude stating "WHY DIDNT THEY BRING IT ALL THE WAY UP OR TELL A NURSE" like excuse me miss you just told us no one could come in so we had to get it dropped off? The whole hospital and the employees are contradicting themselves and what they say constantly, one nurse can say something and another nurse will say something completely different. Overall some nurses are good and have good intentions, unfortunately not all nurses carry out the job in a professional way they were taught to at a med school? There's still
More that happened but I'm sure just reading enough of this you can tell how our personal experience was.
God speed be with you if you come here, may god give you good personnel to look over you. The 2 stars are because of the good nurses we really appreciate you and your effort truly we do.

I came into the ER at 5;00 pm and explained I fell a week ago and didn't think my concussion was so severe. My neurologist at Rush told me to get to the hospital since I was having lightheadedness and I was dizzy.
I went to triage and they did an ekg. Made me to a urine test. I was asked 5 times if I could be pregnant and when my last period was. No matter what you say, they assume you are lying and make you pay for a pregnancy test. Why go out of your way to ask me 5 times? Just give me the test.

I had a CT scan and blood work done. Everything appeared on MyChart at 9pm so there is 4 hours. At 2:00am I was admitted into an ER room so it took me 9 hours, which is not as bad as the people waiting 12-16 hours!!! Still I was in a room but was told that my EKG was abnormal and they wanted an MRI on my head.

So I get the MRI and then I got an echocardiogram. As an orderly walked me to my test I asked why everything was taking so long. She looked EXHAUSTED, sighed "we are so short staffed and many of us are working more than 12 hours a day to try to fill the gap". Though I was frustrated I cannot imagine how crazy it gets when there are no people /caregivers/ doctors in the hospital to keep it running.

The person doing the echo wanted to know when the last time I drank anything was. Sunday I was having stomach issues, Monday morning I had a cup of coffee and it was now Tuesday and she asked why they didn't have me on a drip IV for fluids. I didn't realize that when they tried my hands it was because I was dehydrated and they finally put it in my arm, attaching nothing to it.
I went back to the room and mentioned that I was severely dehydrated and I was told by the radiologist that I needed more fluid.

The frustration was about to get worse. They moved me into a room late in the night the next day. The neurologist said I was okay but needed more rest. I actually gave myself a weeks rest and thought I was fine. Concussion was worse than I thought. I'm slurring words and I'm a fall risk. I actually called my husband my cousin OMG. I caught myself right after saying cousin and ended up saying "I'm waiting for my cousin husband" oh boy.

When I went in I had not eaten or took my diabetic meds. My blood sugar was 140. They didn't give my pill at breakfast or lunch. I kept telling them I NEED THOSE MEDS!!! When I came in they asked me what meds I take and I specifically told them what I needed to take, TWO TIMES. Then I asked every breakfast and every lunch. By the time I was finally released it was 340 and blood sugar should be under 100. I looked at my chart and they listed it as a medicine I take at home. I told them to correct it but nothing. The cardiologist saw me and he was really nice.

Most of the people working there were really nice except for one lady that was rude but I forgot her name. I'm assuming she was overworked and tired.

The nicest person in this emergency room was the house keeping lady . I would not sent a fcking dog here!

Been here 4 hrs. Sitting in ER hall with my gf who is having major chest pains, has cancer, has MEN1 rare disease. They gave her pain meds and benadryl and haven't been back in 2.5 hours now. The floors are disqusting they have moved people in and out of rooms while we sit in a disgusting hall and she is passed out on the rolling bed. I think they forgot about her yet we are in a f@#king hall. Horrible hospital recommend CVS urgent care above here.

In December 2021 I was admitted to this hospital for lumbar fusion. As I was in pre-op, getting injected to go under, the assistant anesthesiologist yelled, "You are never coming to this hospital again because you are not vaccinated!" The operating room nurse (named Karen) yelled, "You are going to DIE!";4 times.
My wife and the entire stall heard this. The entire staff heard this including my doctor. The patient advocate said SORRY.

October 25 2023 I went to ER of Community Hospital for chronic pain Doctor Garoza accused me of pill seeking he told me he couldn't give me opioid's and to take aleve or Tylenol I was trying to explain that those medications did not work and they had caused me to loose my teeth and I am allergic to most of the medicines I have tried many alternatives so he accused me of the name calling I never called him a stupid doctor he now has stained my records with behavioral pain seeking I want it removed immediately I do not regularly go to hospital when my chronic pain flares up! I do understand that there is an opioid pandemic and I was not trying to get any pain medicine prescription But would like to acknowledge Dawn she was very compassionate and understanding

The entire staff was friendly and well knowledged. My surgery was handled seamlessly.

This place has a few gem workers in there but I wouldn't advise going here to mother baby. The Dr on call was amazing However, A lot of employees are unprofessional & have an issue respecting and caring for Black individuals! Treated me as if I was an uneducated incompetent object instead of a person. Even my loved ones witnessed & were even treated the same during their visit with me & baby there. ESPECIALLY in Mother Baby!! I will NEVER DO BUSINESS WITH THIS ESTABLISHMENT AGAIN!!

We visited the emergency department today and it was super busy. However, we were checked in and seen by a doctor in less than two hours.

If you don't want to die do not take one step in this hospital. The doctors operate in a complete silo and don't communicate among themselves or with family members. Shit care is how i would describe this place. They are only there to check the box. My beautiful mother didn't deserve to die the way she did. PS I waited a whole year to write this and I still feel sick to my stomach thinking about how my family and mother were treated.

My brother went in for back surgery. Was suppose to walk next day and then do rehab. 55 days later we take life support off of him. Not one doctor has any idea what happened. So heartbroken. Please don't take your loved ones there!!!!
