The nursing staff was absolutely atrocious and should not be working for a hospital. Never in my life have I been disrespected in the short amount of time I was in their facility. We were refused care and talked down to as if we were doing something wrong when in reality we were trying to help someone who truly needed medical attention. The next hospital we went to was a total 180 from Alvarado and provided us care with kindness and no questions asked because they understood what they needed to do in this situation, unlike the staff here. They responded the way a true hospital should be run. I can't wrap my mind around how the treatment of people who are in need of help come second to their egos. The nurse that was in charge, Dan, is the most disrespectful and unkind individual and if he wants to continue the attitude and tone in which he spoke to us, he should look for a new profession. I will be contacting the hospital immediately in phone and/or in person to go over this whole situation. Completely embarrassed for this place.
I eventually ended up at Sharp, where the staff there were extremely kind and concerned, and I received the help I needed.
I have never in my life walked out of an emergency room because of the staff but this ER proves the exception to the rule. From a rude and judgmental clerk to a rude, mean, and downright cruel nurse, my girlfriend’s issues were clearly not going to be a priority for them. Don’t go here, wait until the urgent care at Grossmont Hospital opens at 8am. We did that an received the care she needed with a comforting, calm attitude. This ER is a minor league disaster filled with the rudest hospital staff I’ve ever encountered in my life.
In no way is this behavior acceptable, and I am shocked to learn that so many others have experienced the same. Every single person I came into contact with was horrible, and I am thankful that I was just in San Diego for vacation and will never need to go back to that hell-hole of a hospital again. I would never recommend going to this ER, which seems to work best for them, as they don't really act as if they care about people in the first place.
I have never been so disrespected and ill-treated by a hospital staff, and after reading all of these reviews, I am shocked and horrified that the people who work for this facility still have jobs. I can't think of a single job I've had where I would still be employed after treating anyone the way I was treated when i was there early Monday morning.
The attendant was rude and dismissive of my pain, saying "if this is the worst thing you've ever been through, you've had a great life." The nurse told me that I was over-reacting and that there were people there who were really sick. I ended up walking out, even though I was in tremendous pain and needed help. But I knew I would never get the help I needed from a hospital that employed such callous and heartless people.
I'm new to the are and never been in a worse hospital in my life! The nurse has no compassion for any of her patients thats cause I could hear her talk to each and every one of them, since sheets are what separate the rooms... No privacy whatsoever! Sent me to the public bathroom to do a urine sample full of bodily fluids everywhere! I am beyond myself... I ended up walking out after 5 hrs of no results ! Do not take ur family here it is unsanitary and horrible costumer service! I honestly don't know how the state still Let's this place keep in business!
My husband needed to have a procedure here. The nurses were friendly, knowledgeable and professional. The procedure went smoothly and my husband and I had a great experience. We were treated with much respect and excellent care.
