My wife was taken there in an ambulance and it was the worst emergency room I have been in my entire 35 years on earth. MY WIFE PROBABLY GOT MRSA FROM THERE BUT I CAN’T PROVE IT
Operator and frond dest girls very rude not helpful at all. I was recommended to this Hospital, but I had a very bad experience.
Gosh it’s scary reading all these 1 ⭐️ reviews that this facility is still open ? Hmm ?
Racist, unprofessional and incompetent supervisors who do not listen to all complains and ignored it, My lawyer wrote two letters to the supervisors in lab and HR regarding Hostile work environment and vacation leave. I quit.
They gave me someone elses discharge papers and not my own
I went to Alvarado Hospital due to meth and they treated me very well now i have rehabilitated but i want to volunteer would you know if i will be able to
My mother in law had a horrible experience there. She’s traumatized and outraged because the staff was racist and rude. Don’t come here, it’s suicide.
ER’s waiting time was quick!!
The Staffs at Alvarado Hospital are Wonderful!!!♥️
The guy who was working at the front desk was one of the most rude people I have ever met. He started an argument with me just because I requested a medical test.
12/14/2015 @3:07
Friendly, proffesional staff and they made sure to give me the best care possible for what I had to go in for.
Thanks for the most pain filled night I got a 25 ft tall tre dropped on my foot and was given Tylenol
Literally the worst experience receiving care in my life.
I’m sorry but this hospital is the worst like I was trying to get a appointment for my mom and she said we don’t do that here it’s down the street I’ll transfer you then literally hung up on me, and I haven’t even went to the hospital yet and they were bad.
ER visit was well managed and very helpful. I am seeing my doctor on Monday.
Very slow and very unfriendly staff. Taking too long to process paperwork to discharge a patient. Volunteer staff is doing nothing and watching TV. Very unprofessional hospital.
This hospital is horrible the wait is extremely too long and I had to ask about my wife because they told me nothing all I know is she’s going to the back room? I will never come here again! Oh yeah I’m still waiting on info about my wife
I went there and got treated horrible. Not everybody that comes to the emergency room for pain is a deug addict. Shame on you
I just went to the ER and it was one of the worst nights ever no help and the nurses are rude and not helpful… the doctor is really stupid give me wrong madcation…. I don’t recommend to anyone worst experience ever.
I had to go twice to get properly diagnosed, scary experience. Luckily I’m doing much better now.
The people who helped me were very polite and did all their best to help me, they did what they had supposed. And even that were so busy, they tried to help every one there.
Such a bad service! I’ve been there from 12pm to 6am and I was never checked or anything. Worst hospital I have been so far. One star is a lot for what I received from you guys.

Driver only for someone else. Stayed in car with dogs.
Terrible. Went to the ER and a drunk man came into my “room” and was blabbering the entire time while I was in a lot of pain. The doctors and staff did nothing to make him leave. This is after I had to wait an hour outside on the pavement to be seen.

People were so rude at the front.
I was waiting to be taken in for 5 and half hours! Went in to another hospital and was admitted immediately!

This hospital is horrible. They let my brother go home with his sugar being almost 400 and has some tpye of infection on his legs and the Dr wouldn’t even look at his legs. He is still in pain and suffering and now has to go elsewhere.
The medical staff are respectful with patients and treat the patient with kindness and care. I highly recommend Alvarado Hospital.

Horrible to say the least. I went to the ER here after a serious staph infection in my leg. Their diagnosis was that I had nothing after running no tests or anything. I was in the ER for at least 4 hours. I then chose to go to another hospital. I had to have my leg amputated at that hospital due to the lack of care atAlvarado.
This was the worst hospital visit the check in nurse was nice just the back once you get checked into a bed was a bad experience. I had to sit in the waiting room for an additional 2 hours because the nurse who called my name didn’t know …
The er is dirty I had dried blood stains on blankets. I heard a man crying out loud help help for 30 minutes. And the staff was making fun of him. I arrived at er in an ambulance and had to wait almost 2 hours before see doctor…. no help from this place. I regret my going here
Last Sunday, November 28th I received excellent treatment from the doctor and his professional team in the emergency room at Alvarado hospital.
Alvarado’s ER can be really good or next to worthless. There is a D.O. named Benjamin Kilian who is an outstanding provider and who genuinely cares about his patients. A P.A. named Bryna Lawrence, however, is not worth the space that she …
Best ER staff treated me like I was human being. Like I mattered. Like I was important.
Had very difficult experiences at Scripps and these guys made me feel at ease. Thank you.
My sis who has epilepsy had 40 seizures back to back last night and I had to call an ambulance and she had to go to the hospital and while she was there three so called “MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS” tortured my sister by water boarding her and …

This is by far the worst hospital you can go to. I waited about 4 hours with extreme ear pain and headache for the doctor to do absolutely nothing. Do not waste your time going there. Keeping this review short or else I’d be here all day.
The vaccine clinic in the medical center is really well run and efficient. Love that they guarantee the second dose if you get the first from them too. Very easy process, thank you!

Called asking a simple question if my insurance would be covered at this hospital and was greeted with a very rude woman in the ER who told me I won’t find anyone who knows the answer then hung up the phone on me. Upon reading other reviews it seems like a lot of the staff are rude there.

Truthfully I don’t remember being there I was born there a month early. My mom had me when she was 41 and it was a bit more dangerous because she was a bit older. I survived so did my mom and I am grateful for that. Therefore this hospital is good in my book unless someone I know dies there, then I’ll come for revenge.

I had always heard horrible things about Alvarado hospital so I kept going to Kaiser or when desperate, Grossmont. However, grossmont has atrocious wait times in excess of 12+ hours. That’s absolutely absurd when you don’t feel well. I …

Worst ER waiting room experience ever. 😫

I work in hospitals across the country and this is one of the worst hospitals I have ever dealt with. They up-charged for their services, failed to address the issues in the dispute, and will not even return phone calls at this point. …
My visit to the ER was excellent. All staff members were nice, professional, and knowledgeable of their job duties. It was a pleasant stay even though the circumstances were scary. I will always choose Alvardo hospital if my health issues requires it.
Hospital was exceptionally clean. Staff was friendly, helpful, offered blankets because it was cold inside. Doctors explained clearly their findings, recommendations. Wait time in ER was negligible, no one there when we arrived, no waiting. Check in staff were friendly and helpful.
Thank God for Alvarado hospital I can’t thank everyone enough for everything you doctors and nurses do .. unfortunately I have a few health problems . I’ve been to kaiser hospital Sharp hospital nothing compares to Alvarado I give you
10 star not a five thank you so much for all your help I love you guys.

I was there for 8 days fighting COVID. The nurses & doctors treated me with professionalism & friendliness at all times. One of the nurses even helped brush out tangles in my hair! Doctors came to see me everyday & spent time making sure I …
Thank you to all the surgical team and the nurses that care for me before, during and after spine surgery. I appreciate your kindness and skills. Without you all I would not be here today I’m on the road to recovery and better health so that I can help others.
Very excellent and quality service, every staff that I interacted with were knowledgeable and professional which made me very comfortable.
I am completely TERRIFIED! Reading these reviews. I am considering canceling my surgery and waiting for a different hospital. Consider how ppl feel when reading your reviews Alvarado! How can someone feel comfortable coming in to have …

I stay here more than a day. Didn’t have a lot of experiences, but I feel pleasant. I have just been a stent on my heart. Now, I am really good.. Thanks for all.
Visiting hours are 9 to 6. Apparently nobody is admitted here that has working family members. As we were about to walk out, we were handed a card with visitor hours that go to 8 but still denied a visit. Come back at 9am tomorrow… (and miss work so you don’t have money to pay us for this visit, please!)
Watch out from the lady who admits you in the emergency room she’s super rude and a liar I got admitted to the hospital and got discharged no one talked to me about any billing …
The surgical staff and nurses assigned to the 6 North floor of the hospital provided excellent care. Specifically, Nicole RN, Cynthia RN and Luke RN 6th floor, Dalia RN pre-op and Amy RN pre/post op all provided outstanding compassionate care!
The most trash hospital ever. Please save yourself and don’t come here. My mom had a check up procedure yesterday and my mom asked if it’s gonna hurt they told her no but brought her out in a wheel chair after she was done because it did …
I have to say that my last review of this hospital was actually about a different hospital that I had mistaken for this one. This hospital has been very kind and caring to me. Two weeks ago I had to be admitted for a serious health …
Everyone, from the EMT, to the physician were very pleasant. I really like my doctor, and how he listened to me.
I’m here with my Mother who has a fractured hip. She’s been here since yesterday and we have not seen an orthopedic doctor or been given any information on when we might. The nurses are great. Seeing her in this much pain is not. …
The team that administered my lexi scan was wonderfully competent, efficient and I was very well cared for – they took a day that I expected to be really uncomfortable and made it very comfortable for me and I really appreciate it!!!
This was the absolute worst excuse for a hospital that I had ever been to. I was admitted and discharged promptly, hardly any tests that should have been made rude doctors and staff and their paperwork is a joke, it says that doctors are …
ER staff are very professional, efficient and caring even when the waiting room is full. Nurse Cory is genuinely concerned and caring for your ER needs, as well as all staff. Thank you.
I have never seen such a discussing ER. I had to clean my chair. They need to clean house with all the nurses. The doctor did not introduce herself. My son and I had such a horrible experience. Its so sad how they take care of the patients. I will never come back here again.
If you value your life, do not go to this hospital. The doc lied about seeing me when I arrived, social worker did not provide safe discharge home, I cannot say enough about how abhorrent this stay was. Keep you and your loved ones away if you want to stay alive
Alvarado ER is an awesome place. We did not have to wait for hours like most ER’s. The doctors and nurses are so professional and kind. I will always go to Alvarado ER if I need to. Thank you Alvarado hospital for taking such wonderful care of my granddaughter.😊 …
Was rushed to ER via ambulance last Tuesday early a.m., scared and feeling like I was going to die. I chose Alvarado when EMT asked where I wanted to go because it was close to my house. EXCELLENT CARE!! I want to especially to give …

I had to rush my wife here as she was complaining about pain in the right part …
My nurses and my doctor were amazing. All my labs, tests, and x-rays were done within 30 min of me getting a bed. My nurses were compassionate and funny. They made me feel like I was the only patient. So glad I chose this emergency department over any others.
My experience with the emergency room visit was exceptional. At every point of interaction, the team members were kind and professional even down to the security guard who offered a new patient a more comfortable wheelchair to sit in upon …
Flew out here from S FL for surgery. Had my preop at the hospital and have to say it was absolutely painless and everyone were wonderful! As always, there was a bunch of paperwork and had to get some testing (COVID) but the staff made …
