  1. This place is a joke they don’t know what there doing and are not professional at all that place needs to clean house and hire professionals that actually know what there doing and can get something done right

  2. This place is slow rude and lazy workers making all this money but yet gossip is their job been here 2 hours they havent called anyone to the back theres noone even here i hate this place

  3. Worst hospital I’ve ever been to in any state.just moved into town and was denied any help in getting insulin because my Medicaid hadn’t pulled through yet.

  4. This is the WORST hospital.DO NOT GO HERE.My wife was taken here by ambulance after a terrible car accident.Bill almost $7000,paid by our insurance.They did nothing,no help at all.Don’t know what they are doing.If ambulance wants to take you here,refuse,tell tham to take you to another hospital.

  5. This hospital is terrible I wouldn’t recommend ANYONE to come here, they will have you sit in the lobby over 5 hours in pain and send you out with a weak ass prescription for generic medication !!

  6. I hate that they contract the doctors in the emergency room and they some how never take any insurance. Its ridicules. Over priced and poor quality of doctors.

  7. Horrible hospital, I was in there this Monday, and the service there was terrible, the nurse was rude, and the doctor that was there was Unprofessional , same as the last time he attended me, he doesn’t care if you’re suffering, it’s a …

  8. They saved my life in April 2018 I was in a overdose of meth and fentanyl I was none responsive for 40 minutes they brought me back went out for another 18 mins dead no hart beat nothing they brought me back thank you thank you

  9. I was at the hospital for 5 hours with a 10 month baby she’s was really sick 109 fever and I ask the nurse if he could get a Dr.” He said “nop you and your baby have to wait” I felt like my baby was gonna past out. Worst feeling ever. I decided to take my baby down to Apple Valley. This place is the worst hospital ever.

  10. Worst hospital ever! Rude security guard asked if we can turn off the tv its 3:00 in the morning need no staff and security. Theres people not filling good saying this is the WORST hospital ever! I agree!

  11. The case workers at this hospital are absolute garbage. All they do is lie. Some of the most shady work practices I’ve ever had the displeasure of working with.

  12. I wish I could give them no stars the stupid security gaurd didnt do nothing but sit on her ass the whole time people asking her questions and her getting mad. And the wait was over 4 hours and there was only 2 other people waiting when …

  13. I wish I could give this minus stars. Terrible place that calls itself a hospital. I have always said do not take me to Barstow Hospital. .just take me out back and bury me alive. My brother found out what a crap hole that place was yesrerday. Uncaring

  14. I’m normally not a fan of this hospital because of past experiences… but I went it early this morning with shoulder pain that I have been experiencing for the last 4 days and today was a complete turn around the staff was very friendly and I was in and out in in 4 hours thank you BCH for you help

  15. No! No! No! It’s crazy here, you have to be half dead for them to see you after 5hrs wait,and everyone back there are so busy with Facebook and that, very poor service,rude and doctors don’t care for your health, they just want your insurance information and your money, it’s sad !!

  16. Horrible! Traveling from Vegas to LA and felt sick ended up at the hopstial and feeling like I was having a heart attack! This is no emergency!! It took over 3 hours to see someone while I was feeling horrible!

  17. Everything seemed pretty standard, but to have one of my Brothers (Viet Nam Vet) have to stay another 24hrs to run a test, because someone called in sick. Well that’s BS.

  18. TOOK ALL OF MY INSURANCE INFO. DID NOT BILL THE INSURANCE. PUT THE BALANCE ON MY CREDIT WITHOUT NOTICE. MULTIPLE TIMES. EVEN WHEN I HAD BLUECROSS BLUESHIELD AND IEHP FOR BOTH MY DAUGHTER AND I. Sorry ass hospital. Told me I couldnt go back with family for no reason yet let many other accompany their family members.

  19. Was there today for about 5hrs and they were great.i loved my doctor and my nurse debbie was awesome.they were right on my issue i even got a private room with my own bathroom.it was all nice and cleaned waiting for me.thank you BCH for a awesome experience at the er you all rocked.

  20. This place is disgusting over the past 2 months I have had to go here and the waiting area is always filthy and both times I have seen blood on the floors. When I brought it to the attention of the staff they replied ” the cleaning lady will only clean it if it is really bad”. I look at her and said ” wow it gets worse than this.

  21. Absolutely horrendous hospital! The staff are totally incompetent and downright awful to family members calling about their loved ones. For the love of GOD, please do not trust anyone that you care about to be taken here!!! Find another hospital!

  22. Worst hospital I have ever been too. Way over priced. Have no clue what they are doing. Cares little for the people who came into the hospital. Almost killed me. Luckily I went to arrow head before it was to late. Over all stay clear of this place.

  23. If I could I would of gave this hospital and it’s staff negative stars. I’ve been in a room in the back for 4 hrs and still have not seen a doctor and when I ask the nurses they have attitudes like I’m bothering them. It’s all bad at barstow community hospital

  24. This hospital is new, always clean, and has the newest equipment! The ER wait is always short early in am and the staff are friendly except for the rude drs and nurses. Love this place cuz I’m always in and out!

  25. This hospital was so bad, they didn’t help us at all and took like 3 hours just to get us a room (we got into a car accident and we were bleeding and they did nothing) we has wounds everywhere but they didn’t even try to clean them, I has a …

  26. If I could give 0 Star I would. I had an ultrasound appointment. They told me to be here at 10am and I was. Then I didn’t even get called back to get a bracelet until 1045 and it’s almost 11 and I have yet to be called back for my …

  27. I was treated there tonight…i was told bu theambilance driver if i went i would have a ride home… Well while being treated my phone died…now it was 3am and i was told there was no ride and i would have to find one…i just mived up …

  28. I arrived at 4pm and I’m still currently here and it’s 9:41 pm. The nurses don’t come around at all unless you go and find them. They act like they don’t know what they’re are doing. This hospital is a joke bro

  29. Even if you feel like you’re dying, make the drive to Victorville. BCH ER is horrible and will tell you well yes your labs show that something is wrong with you but we can’t figure out what so here’s some pain pills and send you home.

  30. Unless you ready to drop 52,000$ for a visit absolutely terrible. Some people were friendly most of the staff was terrible. Oh and I was billed instead of my parents for my sister funny how that works out.

  31. If I could give 0 stars I would! My son is one and has yet to sick so when my husband and I took him in for a bad rash this morning we were really freaked out. We got there and the place empty, within a 30 seconds of sitting down they …

  32. Every time I’ve been here it’s been a good experience. Sometimes a little slow but it’s because they are busy and everybody needs to understand that. This is my go to place. Better than Victorville community and Saint Mary’s ER by far!! I always take my son to this hospital wgwn he gets sick and we ade in and out rather quickly.

  33. I would like to give a huge thank you to nurse Renee in the ER! She is currently taking AWESOME CARE OF MY HUSBAND CHRISTOFER SAIZ! My husband says she is the best nurse ever! THank you Nurse RENEE in the ER

  34. Honestly there’s alot of ppl that care (probably). But if your able do yourself a favor and go to Victorville! To many negative experiences w/ myself or family to mention! And honestly like I said usually due to a lack of recorces more so …

  35. Just had my babygirl there last week and the nurses were nothing but sweet and kind to my family and I. They saved my little baby girl and helped me get through labor. I didn’t even want to go home when it was time to go lol.

  36. In the past, I’ve gone there for a test that required radioactive injection. Took them 8 tries to find vein (my veins are small). Another time thought I had detached retina and they spent much time on tests before telling me no Dr who …

  37. Great staff very helpful and very nice. Always making sure I was ok and if I needed anything. The Dr was amazing, made sure everything was checked out and done in a very timely manner. Fast service was seen within 5 minutes of signing in. Phenomenal. 2800 miles from home and they were all around amazing. Thank you.

  38. This hospital need more doctor and staffs and need bigger ER room they have to work faster .. I was there hospitals they keep me waitting too long. I asked for asl interpreter many time they take too forever to set up video interpreter. …

  39. Just went to the hospital last week, I was seen by Clookie NP, he was amazing. I was treated great Barstow hospital is amazing. The doctors, nurses, radiology (Cruz), resperatory, triage,etc. Have always been great. Thank you BCH.

  40. If I could rate it 0 I would. Horrible medical team keeping a toddler with a possible ruptured ear drum in the waiting room for hours just to be told there is still a 3-4 hour wait still. Kid with obvious blood in the ear.

  41. I have been here in this hospital over three hours bc I am having extreme pain in my neck then nurse comes out to take roll call then ten minutes later she call three people to the back witch two of them just walked in the building. I ask …

  42. Walked in with a bad cough, fever,dizzy, confused,chest pain,they seemed As if they could care less. They didn’t try to relieved my fever, no x-rays for my chest,no IV for possible dehydration. Just 600mg of ibuprofen.
    I was better off staying home. They don’t care for their patients.

  43. HORRIBLE. Don’t go there if you expect urgent care because even if you’re in a life threatening situation you still must sit in the waiting room for hours. Might as well save urself the trip. They are useless!

  44. Looks like a great place from the outside to bad it’s not.. slow service hardly ever see a doctor.. and nobody is ever on the same page.. it’s like they all just show up to get paid but not work . To top it off last time I was here a man …

  45. Dont even deserve one star! I have no idea how this hospital remains open. Sept.14th i took my daughter in, she is 4, complaining of her stomach hurting, had a fever, and was very lethargic she was in pain. Not vomit or other. She then was …

  47. I began having severe back pain with lots of blood in the urine. I had to ask several staff members and wait over a half hour just for a glass of water. Kidney stones were suspected, which is made worse by dehydration. I had also …

  48. Came in ambulance yesterday. Received X-rays that were conclusively negative. Given a chintzy wrap, 6 pain pills, and discharged after 6-7 hours. Given hostility in waiting room trying to wait for ride. …

  49. Ive been in health care over 30 yrs and have never experienced a medical professional telling me they searched the internet for how to treat me and couldn’t find an answer. The Physician’s Assistant that treated me had the audacity to say …

  50. Broke my leg and waited two days before I actually was able to have the surgery. On top of that, they overlooked a fracture and had to get surgery again 1 month later. To make matters worst, my insurance took care of the “full” cost and I …

  51. The “ER” should be called an urgent care. They do not have the facilities to be called an ER. They cannot even treat broken limbs. Patients have to be transferred. Can only stabilize and dose up with meds while they keep you forever as the …

  52. After years of going to Saint Mary’s and Desert valley I found myself at the Barstow ER for the first time. There was no wait at at all to be seen. Yes a empty waiting room …

  53. I would chose another hospital to go to because this one clearly doesn’t listen to patients or treat them correctly. Think twice before you decide to put someone in the waiting room for hours that was just in A HIGH SPEED CAR ACCIDENT screw off

  54. Crooks! 3 years after being taken to this hospital after a ambulance ride they billed my boyfriend over 14k! Even tho at the tome of the accident they took all of his insurance information. Now it’s on his credit! He never even got a …

They will take the pain away.

  57. Dislocated a finger, popped it back, but thought it best to seek medical attention. Because it happened at 8pm, and my doctor’s office was closed, l found Barstow Hospital online, but was deterred by the negative reviews and overall …

  58. At Barstow community Hospital right now . My brother has a possible foot fracture with infection . The 2 nurses Lawrence and Phillip along with the Physician Assistant Xavier have all 3 been Amazing ! Great care and immediate attention. …

  59. Love this hospital, nice people, super clean, really liked the paging system as I had several procedures done. I called to let them know I was running late and they told me not to worry. Great experience all around. Appreciate the nice nurses and staff for helping me!

  65. I wish I could give this place no or negative stars because it is almost a year later and NOTHING has changed. This time we are here because my son has been vomiting all day and can not keep anything down. My wife brought him in a little …

  66. This was a terrible experience. I came in with really bad acid reflux and stomach burning. I have been a few days like this already. And it just got worst every day that past. I don’t have a primary physician so I came in to the hospital …

  67. This hospital is horrible. My aunt and uncle are from Minnesota. We all were driving from california when he started acting wierd and saying things that didn’t make any sense. It was also difficult for him to walk. When she spoke to the …

  68. I had previously read the negative comments prior to going but I took a chance anyway…I had a very pleasant experience from all the nurses to Doctor on duty that evening. It was very clean and organized and they had a great caring …

  71. Worst hospital ever. Not only was the staff rude they billed us $6,000 for sitting in a chair in the hallway for 3 hours with 15 others (no room no privacy…my 7 yr old had to see people bleeding, overdose patient, etc). Discovered that …

  72. Day time doctor was great, she wanted to keep me due to possible appendicitis while I was pregnant. Shift change and the night doctor sends me home, tells me to come back in the morning if in pain. Come back and appendicitis had gotten worse, needed emergency surgery. Most of the nurses are pretty awesome and caring.

  73. I visited the ER on 8/6/18 for chest pain, and I was treated very well by the doctor and the nurses. My doctor was Dr. Skeoch Graydon and he was very thorough and very compassionate. My nurses name was Vikki and she was so friendly and …

  76. On oct 28th my daughter was born. I saw all these reviews and was deterred from Barstow Community Hospital because normally even bad hospitals don’t have a review of 2.3. But I want to clear these reviews now, at least for the labor ward. …

  77. Visit was horrible they might as well shut this hospital down already. Mostly anybody with a serious injury will most likely die here or die on the way to somewhere that can help them. I suggest you just drive your family members to a …

  78. It is incredibly disheartening that this is the only hospital within a 30+ mile radius, but if you can, avoid this place if you’re having consistent, potentially serious, symptoms. …

  79. I honestly wish I could give this hospital 0 stars. We waited 41/2 hours to have our 11month old be seen. There were 6-8 people that arrived later got seen and we were told to wait. We finally had enough and left. Hour and half later we got …

  80. Poor customer service. Refused to give name over the phone. Was treated for covid. I still have covid. They have no empathy or integrity. They make you sicker by having you wait in a box outside, with NO heat, while no staff member is present. there must be regulations to fine this hospital

  81. My family has been coming to this hospital for many years. I went there on New Years Eve (2018) having a Gall Bladder attack and rang in the New Year with the nurses on staff that night, and had my Gall Bladder out the next day on New …

  82. Went there because I had covid symptoms and had trouble breathing. The doctor prescribed nasal solution but that wasn’t my main issue. Doctor discharged me in less than 3 hours and said I had an upper respiratory infection with no …

  87. The people who work here are very caring, simply know how to attend a patient. Visiting hours are reasonable and their restrictions for coming in are well handled. A lot of parking lots, even has a helicopter land area /-/

  89. Some of the staff is just so rude. Dr Robert(don’t recall his last name) talked over me when I was trying to explain my issues a while back. The most sarcastic remark he made was “I’m fairly new, I’ve seen, oh, 75,000 patients.” as he …

  96. I took my grandson to the ER and they were absolutely wonderful with him from the people who took blood to the ekg lady to the nurses. They were all fantastic. So nice. Helpful. Didn’t fight me when I wanted tests for him. Many places say …

  97. They are just there for a paycheck. This is not the first time getting ignored. You wait hours for nothing. Just to be sent home. You should be disappointed in your selves for not helping those who need help!

  98. If I can give a zero I so would brought my daughter in for a UTI she is now 18 so I had to stay back she calls me scared saying her blood sugar was sky high and they are gonna give her insulin and take 5 vials of blood (mind you she has had …

  100. Took my 3 month old daughter in due to a raspy cough and struggling to breathe while eating and still haven’t been seen 3 hours after arriving. And someone who wasn’t feeling well was taken back an given a room first. Normally I wouldn’t care but since my daughter is so young I would have thought she had priority.

  101. Doctors and nurses are awesome and so hard work and friendly. Thank you for being patient with me. I used the phone as a text keyboard note to communicate with them. Thank you for bringing the VRI for the interpreters for deaf communication …

  102. I really want to give 5 stars, I love this hospital and the people in admitting and radiology today were excellent. I have to say, I’ve only given a lower rating due to the woman working the front desk-Sondra. She is not very friendly, as …

  103. From start to finish, nothing but positive, professional service. The nurses took such good care of me prior to surgery and after surgery. They made sure I was comfortable and answered all my questions. My surgeon was so kind and caring also.

  104. A trip to the ER resulted in a short 3-day stay. I can’t say enough about EVERY SINGLE staff member I interacted with. Everyone from housekeeping and dietary to respiratory therapy and doctors. Each was pleasant and professional. I had …

  105. Want to thank the staff for providing such great care and compassion to my granddaughter. She was treated like a princess and eased my daughter-in-laws concerns. Jeremy NP is so caring and compassionate and made My granddaughter less …
