Ridgecrest Regional Hospital Reviews ( 103 )

  1. This is a typical small town hospital! Hospital knows there is not another hospital within miles so they can treat you as terrible as they want and they know there is nothing you can do about it. Terrible shame!

  2. Worst experience I’ve had to deal with. The dentist office refused to even see me because I have dual insurance and the office clerk told me “it’s to much paperwork to deal with” avoid this place at all costs!

  3. This hospital is the slowest hospital that I’ve been to in my whole life. And the rooms are dirty. Like the walls have stuff on them and the vents are alway dirty

  4. My father went in last week with a severe head injury. I believe the medical staff’s rapid work ensured that he did not die. Thank you.

  5. Terrible, staff is unprofessianal and very uncourtious. They have no buisness in the medical field. If you value your loved ones health. Take them out of town to get them real medical attention.

  6. Unfortunately my husband was station out here and I do not like it already, I got food poisoning from Taco Bell one and 2 I had a rude nurse in the ER who didn’t know how to put an iV in, I’m glad I got someone else thank God, I did like …

  7. Went here as tourists to urgent care on a Sunday and were treated very kindly. Staff is very calm and friendly and gives good explanations. Very clean, easy to find and organized.

  8. Hi I was at hospital p and the staff didn’t believe me that I wasn’t steady on my feet and basically I have to go to a different hospital because of it I hit my head and my and my mouth on the sidewalk or payment whatever you call it at the …

  9. i just had my son in june and it was an overall good experience. the AC went out that night for a few hours but they got it back up quickly and gave us fans while it was out. staff was super attentive. food was always on time. my family was welcome.

  10. When you have a sleep study the security escorts you to the room
    The lady up front called for security to cone escort me to the room as he walks in he gives me a cold stare down walks as he walks pass me. He comes back about …

  11. I really appreciate these doctors and hospital for giving me and my baby the best care. I have had numerous procedures and appointments here of all types, and I have always had a great experience no matter the circumstance. I trust my health here.

  12. For being a breastfeeding friendly hospital, I was not allowed to plug my breast pump while we sat in the room for 4 hours for my mom to be seen, nor was I offered a different area where I could. I’m exclusively nursing n had to deprive my …

  13. This was my first time at RRH & after spending 5 days there I can say that the doctor I had was great & the nurses & cna’s where awesome, they really took good care of me & all my needs, shoot out to the day nurses Patricia & Felicia y’all …

  14. If I could a 0 for this place I would. Anyways I recently took my son into the er because he came home with hand prints around both of his ankles. The attending doctor did not assessment on him. You would think that they would …

  15. Always well taken care of with needs concerns and issues addressed and taken care of. Wonderful staff. I love the ER and radiology department staff on the weekends, they are so kind and caring. We are always pleased with the care we receive.

  16. I originally called beginning of November to setup an appointment and they said nothing was available until end of January. After scheduling for a date they called me a week before to tell me that my appointment was cancelled and moved to a …

  17. Nurses in the delivery wing were overall nice and helpful. There was an incident with my IV in which my right hand got swollen and I was not explained that I was not in danger. I was left thinking that I was in danger. Better communication would help.

  18. If I could give 0 stars, trust me I would. This is the most unprofessional bunch of medical “professionals” I have ever encountered… And I am in & out of doctors all the time for a chronic illness. I don’t think they even listen to your …

  19. I recently had a procedure done at RRH. They were awesome! Planning and preparations were handled very professionally. From the moment we walked intoThe Outpatient Pavilion, we were acknowledged and greeted with kindness. The staff was …

  20. I want to give a HUGE shoutout to Ridgecrest Regional Hospital!! I brought my 14 month old son to the ER because he was retracting and having a really hard time breathing, it was very scary for the both of us. The ER and B Wing staff was …

  21. Terrible place to bring a child for emergency care late at night. Apparently a small wrist sprain and a scratch on the face takes priority over a 1 year old that has been throwing up , not sleeping, and not eating for the past few days, …

  22. While the staff is really friendly, sometimes the wait isn’t ok.
    They need a system to get children in faster especially with abdominal pain.
    Otherwise they are great Dr. Shull is the best E.R. Doctor ever .

  23. Worst hospital I’ve ever been in for prenatal care. Refused to do a lab that wasn’t mandatory and I even got a paper work saying I can refuse that lab, and Dr. Rose Stone refused to see me. And I got yelled by her assistant for not getting …

  24. My daughter went into the ER and was disappointed with a couple of nurses. They were very rude. If they are unhappy dont be a nurse. Also she ended up in ICU and again a not very nice nurse. Bad experience and ashamed i live in town with a rude atmosphere.

  25. My daughter had a 104 temperature and was taken to the ER at 6 in the morning and wasn’t check in once for over two hours. The nursing staff was awful and rude to my wife and the overall atmosphere of the ER was terrible and lackadaisical to say the least.

  26. Been here today for 6 hours because my daughter has had abdominal pain for 2 days. We just moved here from Texas on Friday, and I’m so disappointed in this hospital. We waited in the waiting room while they ordered blood sample… urine …

  27. The staff I met was horrible. Not only very disrespectful staff., but their manager told me lies about my husband having checked out of the local hotel with my kids and dogs if I came back from the hospital. They are very hateful and …

  28. Is it just me or does the concept of having one Dr. in a town of 30K control ALL the pain management make any sense?
    As us in pain wait and wait for his blessing to be scene is a joke. You wait for …

  29. We had a great experience at RRH. I recently stayed their for labor & delivery and the nursing staff was AMAZING. They truly care and went the extra mile to make my family and I feel comfortable. The hospital also offers perks like a lounge …

  30. This is the absolute worst hospital I have ever been to. I have lived many places because my husband was in the army so I have many other places to compare it to. They are pushy and inexperienced and don’t even get me started about bedside …

  31. I was in RRH in October 2019. I came into the ER about 4:30am with pain in my abdomen and back, I didn’t wait long before being seen. Turned out that I need gallbladder surgery, Dr. Shull in the ER was very reassuring, he got tests done …

  32. I honestly wish that I could give a better review because this hospital saved my life once, but I can honestly say that this is not a place I feel comfortable going. I understand that doctors and nurses are tired after long shifts but that …

  33. I drove to the ER at 0230 in the morning on a Very early Monday and I was sick with what I would eventually learn was an appendix swollen with a pin sized hole in it. …

  34. They’re lazy and irresponsible. If you regularly go to a different city hours away to a doctor that doesn’t work at rrh (because the doctor from a different city is more educated than rrh) and the doctor sends rrh a lab work request and the …

  35. I was induced and had my baby here last week and had a great experience! The nurses were all very nice and helpful and made sure my husband, baby, and I were happy and taken care of. They made sure I was informed about what was going on. My husband and I were also pleasantly surprised at how good the food was! Really tasty!

  36. Dr . Burchum was great obgyn and now I’m pleased with the new dr. This place is better than Lancaster or Bakersfield by far I give a huge satisfaction rating to the womans health at this hospital.

  37. I am so disappointed to have to write a bad review because my nurses were amazing but my experience with Dr. Stone was so degrading and hurtful. I have never felt so insignificant by a doctor in all my life, instead of asking me anything …

  38. I had to take a family member to the hospital for an emergency, and she had to be operated and kept under watch for 2 days. The nurses were attentive, professional, and compassionate. Thank you!

  39. Coming from an area with plenty of great healthcare options, Ridgecrest Regional Hospital is very disappointing. The staff don’t answer calls or respond to voicemails if left, even in urgent situations. This provider ran additional blood …

  40. Treated terribly by nurses in the ER. Doctors at RRH try to help patients but rely heavily on their nurses to provide an appropriate description of the patient’s needs. …

  41. I was recently in the ER here with trouble breathing. I was surprised how quickly I was triaged with x-ray & labs following next all occuring in a very reasonable amount of time. Then into a bay with MD quickly there. He personally …

  42. Every time I think this hospital can not disappoint me more it finds a way. We recently had to take my daughter to the emergency room here. The staff was alright but the doctor was extremely unprofessional and incompetent. No one was on the …

  43. 4:30 am. ER waiting room empty.
    Did I get ice packs for my busted up face during my entire 3 hour wait time? NO
    While waiting with one eye swollen shut and one arm in a sling did a security …

  44. This place is ridiculous! ER specifically! They are so rude. This lady was waiting with her two young boys who were coloring quietly on the ground, when this blonde security chick ( who you could tell had the authority complex) and was …

  45. Waited over 5 hours to be helped . They pick and choose who they see . Make you wear a pressure cuff in the hallway for hours . Staff are not considerate and rude

  46. Went in with chest pain in the middle of a heart attack, after a half hour in the room and speaking with the doctor, I had to ask for a nitro drip and morphine for pain, as I’ve had a couple before, and am well versed in ER care for a heart …

  47. Gets more and more disappointing with every interaction. Management seems to not care about the procedures going on at the hospital. Only reason they can get away with it is because the next hospital is a couple hour drive away.

  48. This hospital is an absolute joke. I came in at 11 am by 130pm I was still in the lobby. I came in for chest pain shortness of breath pounding head and pain in my right are. While sitting there I lost feeling in my fingers blacked out once. …

  49. Lived here most of my life and your hospital has gotten so much worse. I have to say, the ER was the worst patient care I’ve ever seen. They are more concerned about their policies and processes then the patients they are here to serve. …

  50. Dr. Haristin, Cardiologist was wonderful. I am so impressed and am cancelling my appoints with Khanal in Lancaster. I do love Khanal but want someone local…really, where are you going to have a problem when you live in Ridgecrest? Lancaster…no.

  51. RRH business practices have found ways to game the system. My first visit to Dr. Frenette involved having several labs done for a physical. But because hypertension was detected on that first visit, the hospital wouldn’t bill it to my …

  52. I don’t write reviews often, but I thought this one deserved to be written. I am doula, and I was recently attending a birth at the maternity unit of this hospital. I must say the nurses were amazing and went out of their way to help my …

  53. Lived in ridgecrest and have been using this hospital for emergency needs for the last 3 years. Many docs seem to have little to no care for their patients, with some exceptions of course. They dismiss patient concerns, refuse to make …

  54. Seriously the worst hospital in CA. I could write a book about how awful the ER is and particularly the girls who do the ER check-in and how nonresponsive the joke of a Patient Advocate department is, but for now I’ll just state how awful …

  55. Me and my wife have sit in the er waiting room 3 times for no less than 9 hours each time. Last night my wife was there for 11 hours and never saw a doctor and didn’t get any help. The staff is rude and slow. This is the worst hospital in the world.

  56. This is the worst hospital I came in at 6:30am I’m still here and it’s 6:39pm!!! I’ve never had to wait this long in my life! I’m soooo mad right now but I’m not leaving till I’m seen I’ve been in pain and have been asking for nausea …

  57. Brought my child with a pretty bad injury here. And I waited over 3 hrs. They couldn’t even administer pain medication. There’s a man bleeding out from his finger. Looks like he’s gonna pass out. And the nurses just walk past him and ignore his pleas for help. Literally the worst experience in a hospital. Ever.

  58. Ridgecrest Regional Hospital has the worst ER I have ever had the misfortune to have to have been sick enough to visit. I arrived at 1:00pm and wasn’t seen for 5 hours so I decided if I’m going to die I’d rather die at home instead of in a …

  59. absolutely disgusted with the service of this hospital. every worker possessed ZERO sense of urgency, and left me and several other patients in the waiting room for over five hours, even one woman who was screaming in agonizing pain was not …

  60. This is one of the worst hospitals probably in the world. Going here is comparable to going to an emergency room in a third world country. I grew in Ridgecrest, and thankfully moved away. My parents still live here. My father received such …

  61. If I could post this review with no stars, I would. Dental staff is ALWAYS rude. It seems like it’s them vs.patient. They have no concern for your pain and have zero communication. They did the wrong procedure on me, which caused severe …

  62. As an outside patient I was admitted at ER yesterday and later that evening for observation had to stay the night in the regular hospital section. My expectation for this small regional hospital were low but I was very wrong. I was treated …
