Review of Tri-City Medical Center

ER is horrible. Long waits and never under 6 hours. My husband came in with a 7 inch gash in his head and they made him wait for an hour in the waiting room. When I told them he was going to pass out, they said "well is he sitting down? then he should be fine". Everyone in the waiting room saw how much pain he was in and offered that he could go ahead of them and encouraged me to get more persistent with the nurse. Wow...the really don't care about their patients well being at all. It's all just a process to them. If you are in the North County area, go to either Scripps or Palomar. I am switching my HMO immediately after 6 or so bad experiences in the past year.
