This ER is by far the worst ER in Los Angeles. My mom went in for hypertension, chest pain, shortness of breath, blood clots in her lungs and legs the list goes on. Yes she was admitted right away but received minimal to no service. The doctor on duty went into her "room" once, looked at a paper and that was the last time we saw him. After that my mom was taken in to get CT scan. Not even an hour later she was released and was told by the nurse she does not have any emergency related symptoms. She was advised to go to her primary doctor to discuss her test results. I asked to speak to the doctor and the nurse kept repeating to see her primary doctor. The place looks, smells, and feels like a dump. These doctors show no regards to a persons health and well being. All they see is a paper and ways to charge up insurance companies. Last time we ever come here.

My advise to go make the extra long drive and go to St. Josephs in Burbank or the General Hospital in East LA. The service, environment, and staff are extremely helpful and attentive.

My mom was taken to a different hospital the next day and sure enough she was admitted into her own room. Long story short she stayed for 5 days. Blood clots in her leg are now gone. And because of her shortness of breath and blood clots in her lungs she now has an oxygen machine at home that needs to stay on 24/7. She is showing signs of improvement no thanks to the doctor at Hollywood Presbytaryan.

My mom could've died and they would not have cared. To them she had no symptoms that need emergency care. Goes to show how much care they show to their patients...

If I could give negative stars I would. And I would happily give the names of the Doctors on duty if requested. Thanks and I hope this helps to anyone considering on going to this dump.
