My grandma was referred to Urgent Care for a Glaucoma Evaluation because the pressure on her right eye was extremely high. As our first time here, we understand it s a process for paper work to be filled and demographics & insurance information to be put in the computer. However the staff is so rude and show no compassion towards people. (I say staff because all the ladies in the front are gossiping, eating and being on their). My grandma is a 95 year old disabled woman, who can t see, hear, and can t even walk on her own. With our guidance my grandma is only able to move around. The lady who attended us, was inpatient when my grandma had to sign, she spoke to us with an attitude, her tone of voice was unprofessional and her body language of eyes rolling and head moving was unacceptable. I don t come here to argue but I don t understand how there are people in the wrong positions. So sad to see staff who has lost the hospitals values and mission.

Worsted care I have ever had. 4 to 6 week wait on referrals. Referral for Orthopedics. Was kick back and told to Primary and talk to re-issue a referral for occupational therapy. Without even being seen by an orthopedic. For a fractured hand, that had just come out of a cast. My other referral I was left hanging. told that it was 4 to 6 weeks and I m County you know. Not worth the drive for the lack of service I got for my medical issues. Call to file a complaint some guy named Freddie was supposed to call me back that day three days later I have yet to receive a call from him.

The emergency room was fine, but the next 7 days all they did was try to treat my pain. I became infected and my collapsed lung worsened. Luckily my insurance group had me transferred to Huntington Memorial hospital where I was given antibiotics and they put a catheder in through my back to drain my lung cavity. I still had to have surgery to irrigate my lung cavity because of blood clots and infection. I feel I spent an extra week in the hospital because at USC they didn't properly treat my symptoms. Hopefully I never go back to USC

I recently had a visit to ER and the service I got was excellent. However, in the follow up that I had to do to get two appointments set on the phone, I got referred to at least five different numbers. On the last call, I was told by the operator that I needed to speak to my doctor about the appointment. When I told her that I had been in Emergency and was following up on the discharge papers I got, she seemed at a loss on what to do. At that point I hung up. I am aware of the number of patients that this hospital handles but as the issue I am trying to handle is cardiac related I am concerned at the lack of priority given to this matter.

A couple days ago my water broke at 28 weeks and I had to be admitted to labor and delivery. I was so scared and worried I couldn't control myself or my emotions... once I was admitted I met the most wonderful and caring nurses named Donna, Julia, and Larry! They helped me so much and calmed me even more, it was like having family there and I am so thankful for them and their kindness, they went above and beyond for me!

My mom was brought to the ER because she was having a stroke. My dad and sister arrived at the same time and they wouldn t let my father see my mom. They didn t even give him any information of her condition. I called the number they provided us to call and we were told nothing. We don t know if she is stable or what the cause of her stroke was. It has been almost 24 hrs and we still don t know anything on my mom condition. It is very stressful.

We have spent a great deal of time at LAC+USC Medical Center, It is a facility equipped with State of the Art Medical apparatus with Excellent Personnel from Nurses, Doctors to support employees. We were Diagnosed, treated accurately and on our way to recovery. The hired security destroys the good image of the institution, the long waits along with the lack of parking facilities are characteristic of a saturated facility. My wife and I are grateful of the Medical and professional treatment we are receiving.

Where do i begin? Well some employees in charge of physciatric ward are very unprofesional and insensitive to the condition in which people are in while there. They are on their phone constantly , profanity is used by some here and there when situations get frustrating for them. Some of the medical personnel arent really living up to the oath they took and probably are just there because they were placed there. One african american staff lady was disrespectful to a patient the patient asked her a question of something to the effect of "how do i get off this bed" she replied and i quote " the same way you got your ass on is the same way you get off!".
I get it some times people get frustrated no one is perfect but some of these patients do not know what they are doing hence why they are there. Some staff does not belong in that medical profession.

The main doctor wanted to give me a stitch. They were understaffed, so he went to a different department. The new doctor didn't even look at the file/x-ray & just decided to use super glue. The cut is healing deformed.

Takes about 2 -3 hours even after you made an appointment. Nurses, PA, seemed like they do not know anything about lab test results. Every time, different nurses, PA saying different things and asking to have more tests done, without solid answers!!!

Went into Emergency with a perforated appendix(almost burst)midday on 11/6/19. The sense of urgency and professionalism from the get go was truly mind blowing throughout my suffering. From intake, young blonde gal with a heart of gold and altruistic drive to help everyone in emergency was astounding. Then went into the Surgical Observation Unit and the Nurse's Staff was caring and efficient as well. Shout out to "Bruce" for going the extra mile and escorting me to my car to get my cell phone to contact family and friends of my unexpected stay. The Team of Dr's(5 of them) All of them were polite, welcoming, professional and very considerate and genuinely concerned for my emergency situation. Dr. Kim's name (considering my situation) was the only one I could remember. Under the watchful eye of all the Dr's esp. Dr. Kim's expertise, they all gave me an amazing healing experience in a state of the art facility with ultra-sounds and many test and medication treatments to prevent me from having to go under the knife. This truly was the Rolls Royce of hospital experiences I've ever had personally or with family and friends over the years. I stayed four days(Left 11/9/19) and I am so Thankful to all the Staff & Medical Team for the Healing, Rest & Comfort throughout the Scary Situation of having Appendicitis. Eternally Greatful to LAC+USC and ALL THE GREAT WORK, THEY DO!!!!

These 5 stars are for the girl at the front helping people by pushing them in the wheelchair, and the Candystripers who do the same thing, this is for the girls that were there April 22 between 4:30 and 5:30 they did a fantastic job, I hope their Supervisor sees this.
And for the Nurses on 5b ICU...they are so Nice!! The lady doctor was so nice also,, wish I would have gotten her name she was short and blond hair.

I was in a car accident and I had a Traumatic Brain Injury and a lot of damage I was in a coma and they saved my life here in the emergency room and in ICU. I also came back here years later when I started having seizures and getting my treatment here helped me get approved for Social Security without needing to pay money for a lawyer. The new buildings are really nice. The medical records from this hospital are the best you can get. The doctors here are excellent. The only reason why it does not get 5 stars is because of the very long wait when you go to the Emergency Room or when you have to see a doctor, and the other problem I have is that they left the temporary ICU filter inside me after they woke me up from my coma. That can kill me later in my life.

Their billing is a mess. They sent bills to collections in error. RSI Enterprises is IMPOSSIBLE to pay also. They all tell me different amounts... it is insane. The two doctors I saw at USC were useless and uniterested in my well-being. Avoid this place liket he plague that it is, seriously.

I had two staff conduct the most painful, uncomfortable opthamologist eye exam. Comparable to San Francisco's Mark Zuckerburg SF General Hospital actually. Then - they called an expert, who arrived and was much better, methodical, hardly any pain, endurable and humane. Compassionate. Please teach your colleagues AND be rewarded. More thoughtful caring people like you should exist.

Was here yesterday and didn't get out for 14hours!!!! 14hours!!!!!!!! My eye was in so much pain and they didn't care even after i told them my pains was at 10. I had to wait so long for each next step. I check in at 11am and didn't get it until 2:20 am!!! So many personnel and they get upset when you ask if you are next or how long it's gonna take. They don't give you piece of mind. I had never wrote ANY bad review ever and I've some other bad experiences but this tops it. So frustrated I even started crying to myself. I never made a fuss out loud because that's not me. I had to hold it in. Never come to this emergency room. My parents even had to come and ask. You really need to be DYING for them to see you a reasonable amount of time.

County USC is the hospital to come to, if you are looking to die. The hospital has substandard rude nurses and doctors. Waiting times are long. Administration does nothing about complaints. It's another Killer King Hospital. Where are you Hilda Solis?

The emergency rooms are horrible, but during my stay, I was in the H building since I had undergone surgery for a pituitary gland. I stayed there for 6 days and all of the staff was helpful. If anyone needs help with going through a pituitary gland surgery, feel free to reach out to me. (Hablo espanol tambien).

This is by far the best hospital and I will never go anywhere else for care. In particular I recommend their emergency department if you have a critical injury or serious health concern. I love the availability of specialists they have and their excellent quality with the level of concern for patients. I had a miscarriage about a month ago and recently sustained a very severe burn on my hand. Each time I felt well taken care of and like I was receiving the best care available. Also, four years ago I had my son at this this hospital and that was an amazing experience as well. If I have more children I well definitely be returning to birth them at at LAC + USC.

You will die 3 times before you are seen by the doctor. Facts: people can wait up to even 17 hours to be seen by a doctor in training. Nurses misplace your name in queue. Staff is overworked, which means they are not approachable... even for common sense questions. To make up for all the lost time, the hospital now sell incredibly pricy snacks. Welcome to LAC+USC... where people come and die.
