Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Will rush you out the door despite how you feel
You can come to the ER all you want which is full of 1 stars on Yèlp but it doesn’t matter. If you’re not bleeding or literally unconscious it doesn’t matter if you can’t sit still, can’t walk right, don’t have strength and have aches and tension and sickness up and down your body for months while they ignore signs in your bloodwork your PCP will be shocked by. It doesn’t matter regarding your medical history - except when they think old stuff has to do with your current emergency. They might just do the bare minimum and then discharge you to feel like death while you drive home, contemplating another hospital without a maniac at the help. Way to betray your hippoctatic oath, probably in this line of work for the paycheck. I’ve never seen a more disrespectful medical professional after a few emergencies proved there’s gotta be some random bias towards me apparently. I’m not a drug seeker, I just want to feel better. Worst hospital in SoCal, I thought Centinela in Inglewood was bad,
