Southern California Hospital at Hollywood

This hospital is such a great place. The staff are amazing. Everyone is so compassionate from janitors to the administration. I love this place. I’m always apprehensive about going to the hospital that I have never been to before and not knowing what to expect. They are very comforting, competent and capable. They actually listen to their patients. They actually communicate. They don’t just give you five minutes and walk out the door I’m disabled and the treatment that disabled people get in this country can sometimes be dehumanizing. This hospital no matter what your economic or social status or anything like that is, they treat you like a human they treat you like an equal with kindness and compassion

03/07/25 I dont recommend going here, went to ER, you be waiting like its about to be nightime or noon. They dont communicate with the time and when you can leave the hospital? they don't know it depend how severe your injury is ? worse service i'm a new patient there. literally i hate to wait about 3 hours was not taken care of a dog wound bite. doctor said to me not severe rabies. I left i was not being help and contact hr. Not fair to me because im new patient they did not show caring with empathy and let me suffer. I heard some people left waiting room because it was too long. patient walked away i dont recommend coming here. It really frustrates me they dont take action you contact hr or employee there oh im sorry that does not help. If i knew i would not be coming to this hospital. I came because for dog stranger bite my leg emergency bite for first time. They wont let you eat or grab food so be prepare if you come once your inside. the process is so bad. They make u register complete entire steps. Be aware its long process. call your name to go in then have u go back to lobby wait again waste of time. The process stupid. First time people come early atleast help them first show more respect and support. First come and first serve. This how you loose patients. They dont communicate or tell you the time when your being seen worse thing have you keep waiting. Management probably screw up by looking at it. big hospital so get really busy. I get that your busy or maybe shortage of doctors or worker.

I would have loved to give the highest marks to this hospital and they do deserve it for the first part of my mother’s stay (still here). However, her second stay in the Critical Care Unit seem not to ideal combo her stay at the West Tower. In particular today (6/18/2024) her day nurse, Tamara made it seem that each CCU Room should not be equipped with the Armchair that turns into a bed. She claims they provide that only for patients who have family staying overnight. If so, then why were there two armchairs provided in the room of a Caucasian person also in ICU. Photo is the nurse who doesn’t have a bedside manner!
