Ventura County Medical Center Reviews ( 137 )

  1. (Translated by Google) In my esperiencia.esta Renobado the place. But the staff gives very bad service. They take a long time to attend to people from one patient to another.vi as they talk too much among the employees. If one deserves good …

  2. I recently had to come to VCMC for my son, we stayed in the PICU. The Doctor & RN nurses were beyond the best service we’d ever had. Dr Robinson Ron – Sarah – Tigi & Marina were so kind to us & made us feel so special. Thank you so much to the doctors and nurses.

  3. Horrible people did not care whatsoever about me in pain then after having to wait five hours in the er they told me oh well we can’t find anything wrong and that was it, y’all funny if you think I’m gonna pay this bill

  4. The worst place to go to service was ok ,But I swear the Nurses and Some Doctors aren’t Compasionate I Will never recommend or Take My family here bag again VCMC DESERVES A #0 FOR THIER CARE

  5. Called over 20 times between 9am-5pm on their scheduled call times and literally never got answered, it was busy the whole time, multiple days, maybe they just need more staff to answer phones, also they only put you on hold for 1min and 30 seconds, how is that effective?? I’m extremely dissatisfied

  6. Me and my girlfriend Christina Arias were here in room 9 and a male nurse opens the door sees my girlfriend without a shirt in her bra and ignores that the common sense instinct would be to close the door if I were the nurse but he stands …

  7. This should not be called an emergency room. It should just be 24 hour doctor. Sitting in the waiting room for 2.5 hours and haven’t seen a doctor yet. No sense of urgency

  8. Staff is incompetent and rude. Can barely use the English language correctly. Its a circus trying to get answers. They act SO bothered when you ask for something and treat you like the idiot!

  9. Your er need more compassionate doctors. They don’t care and get you out of there asap even if your not well. Where is Vcmc ER’s humanity for the community’s I’ll.

  10. The Er registration nurses rude and careless.The security guard female is very rude with a huge attitude.They lack communication with each other.Sometimes some nurses tell you one thing and then the other tells you something totally …

  11. I will never come here again… my daughter left her bloody Fitbit watch there and no one turned it in smh spent over 4 hours just to get some medical attention for my kid that got bit by a dog that was horrible

  12. There is no professional feeling in this hospital,they try to do some small things to treat the patient,and after a while get tired of the patient and basically advice family members to let the patient die, no hopehere if someone have …

  13. If you need to make or change an appt it is a absolute joke trying to talk to anyone. I got put on hold 4 times for over 30min each time. I give up. Guess I just won’t show up

  14. I gave birth here with my first child, and thanks to them my daughter had brain injury and has cerebral palsy because they did not let me know that her not coming out with the umbilical cord was bad and didn’t do test they just said …

  15. The nurses in the front where you register are really rude ! Some of them are very UNPROFESSIONAL & always sitting around gossiping about patients. The waiting process is horrible as well ! It’s a DEATHROW !

  16. This ER department is such a terrible place to be. They keep families separated based on ridiculous reasons. I regret the times I’ve come here when I could have gone elsewhere and been treated with dignity and respect. Dont come to the place of horror.

  17. My experience with the hospital was great. Never did we get bad attitude from nurses or doctors. My wife gave birth here and we have nothing but great experience and service.

  18. I went to the hosp at 10pm and they did not care at all. I was given fluids and I told the nurse that the bag was getting empty and she ignored me and my blood started going into the bag and she said, oh that’s not good. No dah!! Horrible service!!!

  19. Worst hospital ever while I was having a pulmonary edema attack witch went into a cardiac arrest with a tube down my throat they put a restraint on my arm when they took it off I had a horrible hole in my arm they were asked if they were …

  20. Monday I was brought into this hospital after suffering some pretty severe injuries from motorcycle accident the doctors that treated me were absolutely 100% the best I’ve ever dealt with anywhere I appreciate them so much they took time to …

  21. I love this hospital. They Saved my mom & my sister both where in a very bad auto accident. Thank you for being so kind to our family as we waited in the waiting room. The staff was very nice and the hospital was very clean. Thank you VCMC

  22. The people who work here genuinely care. They make you feel like they have known you your entire life. I actually like coming here. Thanks guys for making thing easy for me..

  23. To MARJEAN in patient accounts and collections! who went above and beyond and listened to me to help resolve the mistake of the hospitals billing department not even Mollie the billing department manager listened she just brushed me off! …

  24. They don’t care about there people’s emergancy they put other Pationt ahead of other pations I waited 2 hours and they barely checked us in an hour and 12 min ago ! They need more staff or need a new way of Geting positions in to see the …

  25. Absolutely terrible This is where my nightmare begin I need mental health help and I have been suffering for four days now because the lack of services at Vcmc I was waiting to be admitted into the ipu I have a lot of medical issues and I …

  26. Vcmc
    ER is a Joke!! I took my girlfriend here to get medically cleared for detox, and because of prioritizing we were left to wait and wait.. …

  27. Very misleading information from nurses @ front desk. Was told they accept Blue Shield PPO, when in fact they do not have a contract with them. Great. Thanks for the $400 bill and no help to my health. Second month now in appeals processes. Submitting a formal letter of complaint to DMH once packet arrives this week.

  28. The nursing staff can’t seem to complete the simplest of tasks and they don’t seem to care unless someone is coding. When you do find your nurse they are gossiping with their friends at the nursing station instead of doing what you asked.

  29. This was my first experience with this hospital and had my fourth baby there recently. I found the hospital staff very sweet and helpful. The building itself is dated but they are opening a new maternity center soon. Overall it was a good experience

  30. I took a friend to the surg unit this morning. We were there for 4 hrs. As a retired County employee I was surprised to find the receptionist in Levi’s and a sweatshirt. She spent most of her time having a conversation with the admitting …

  31. The most caring nurses and doctors there. They took good care of me and had patience with me while I was having crazy anxiety attacks. The doctor gave me food and a soda even listened to me. The nurse, omg I can not remember his name, he …

  32. First of all this hospital over charges for any services. If you have insurance outside of their insurance opt to go anywhere else. Blood tests cost way more here than at quest for example. An ultrasound (not prenatal) costs out of pocket …

  33. Get ready to wait in a room with a bunch of other people. An old TV with CNN or some other news feed on a loop and headache inducing bright lights in the waiting room. Chairs are uncomfortable and the front desk personal are not as helpful …

  34. The doctors and most of the nurses at the Family Center are so caring, genuine. You get to know one another and they make you feel more calm some how. There now my primary clinic and doctor.

  35. I literally saw a video on Facebook of the anesthesiologist who was in surgery with his dad (who was the surgeon) and the anesthesiologist took his mask off and recorded a video (MID SURGERY) of him doing an impression of Stewie from family …

  36. It’s been 5 years the doctors save my life literally I made it to the emergency , doctors there is mix oldschlars & full of energy & determination from the younger doctor’s I attribute my life to that.

  37. I wont go back. After several issues starting with my son in ortho then with again seeing my specialist at the specialty clinic I am now transferring to CMH. At this hospital all you get is a bunch of lazy, rude county workers who don’t …

  38. Zero stars if possible. Rude, unprofessional, uneducated, unhelpful staff. Violate HIPAA left and right, put you on hold forever and can’t get any answers to follow-up issues. I can’t believe the level of disrespect and how much they get away with.

  39. I took my boyfriend there for medical help. He was denied entry to b seen in the emergency room by a VERY RUDE employee checking ppl at the entrance to the emergency room. This employees name is steve bishop i will b filing a complaint

  40. My sister has been in this hospital for 3 days now with 2 fingers having gangrene. The doctors keep telling her this is out of there expertise and they need to transfer her to another hospital. WHY has that not been done already??? They are …

  41. Our 85 yo mom fell, broke both arms, all the nurses & Doctors (especially Dr Nuhn & Dr Powell) have gone above & beyond. So thankful for them! ❤️🙏🏼 …

  42. I was having severe stomach pains for 5 days. After a disappointing visit with saint John’s I went to vcmc. They took me back right away saw the dr quickly. She came back with another dr he ordered a ct scan. And found i had a severe …

  43. My experience with VCMC was fairly good. The helped with my problem, and took care of me fairly quickly. The issue I have is with their billing. When I went into the ER I didn’t have my insurance card. So I told them I would call them with …

  44. This place is so bad with service. Not sure how they get paid so much money over there. Went to the ER with my baby that took a spill and the RN bangs her head on the car seat (I couldn’t even look at her face after that). They had no rooms …

  45. 10 years ago when moved into the area my Mom was having chest pain. We waited at another area hospital for 20 minutes with a line to the initial check in which never moved. A friend came and took us to VCMC where Mom was taken right in. …

  46. Worst care ever from ER to botched drainage tube insertion (which after 9 days of excruciating pain and constant requests (by a specialist) to have the correct CT scan done, it was finally found to have been linked and was then …

  47. I went in at 12:20pm yesterday to pick up copies of my OBGYN records needed for my surrogacy doctor. I was treated rudely and disrespectfully by the women named Laura who was working records. She didn’t want to help me attain my records and …

  48. So far every experience is negative. During my pregnancy I tried to switch doctors which was made a bigger ordeal than it needed to be. I tried switching drs because questions I had were over looked and only addressed once I was fed up and …

  49. Is this place a circus? I don’t know if it’s a mix of the Allied Universal or whatever “security” poor layout and some mediocre staff. I swear I freaking got more steps in these past few days going from the broken emergency room doors, …

  50. Called in to see if I need to schedule a hospital tour for labor/delivery and the lady at the OB said I can just come in. After travelling 45 min, the guy at admitting said he called OB and they said I needed to schedule a hospital tour. …

  51. Horrible place horrible doctor! I thought being a medical insured person that I would get the best care here since it’s a state hospital. Had a driver to get me there which took an hour. I was in morbid pain and they let me sit there for …

  52. Worst place to receive care. I came in to get checked, when your having a medical emergency..well if they dont have any history they refuse to treat you. The bed side manner by nurse Cox is offensive..calling me “You People”! I would never go back.

  53. The doctors are excellent very thankful for everything they did. I was at the hospital when Thomas Fire happened and my doctor came everyday to see me even though his house was burned and he was sleeping in his car. He was compassionate and …

  54. Front staff is rude, not helpful. Wait times are insane, no one checks up on you. You can never find anyone to help you even when you have asked staff for help. Just a terrible overall experience. You are better off going down the street to the next hospital over.

  55. So much gratitude to the most awesome surgeon Dr. Emily Benson and her hospital crew. Their professional services are beyond caring. They truly care about you and communicate clearly. To Emily, thank you, to the assistant surgeon to Emily, …

  56. We went to emergency today because our son been sick for 8 days, 8 days of coughing and on and off fever. They sent us home right away the doctor said he just have a common cold and he doesn’t have to do any test. He checked his ears mouth …

  57. Emergency room entrance completely blocked by cones, all parking for emergency room taped off. Nearest parking a block away. Partner having a several signs stroke and we couldn’t find a way into the actual emergency room. Once triaged we …

  58. My brother broke his leg and was taken care of here at Ventura County Health Center. There were many things about his hospital that made me wonder how they are even in business. First, my brother was told he was going to get his surgery in …

  59. We went in at 2:30 And it is after 10:00p.m. And we are still here waiting for radiology to read the MRI. The nurses sit around the nurses station and gossip n good off. I saw more work being done by the lady janitor than all the nurses put together. They really need to get their priorities straight.

  60. If I could give 0 stars or negative stars I would. Went to the hospital for intense abdominal pain, doctor said there was nothing really they could do aside from the same tests my general family practitioner would. They discharged me with …

  61. My girlfriend recently had surgery there and the nurses treated her like crap after I left from staying with her for two days. When she got discharged yesterday, the nurse did not offer her wheelchair service and made her walk to the main …

  62. I was a recent trauma victim and had a very concerning experience. I was robbed and stabbed multiple times (not by hospital staff) and was released within 48 hours and was told to go back to work. My physician was shocked at how quick they …

  63. The worst of the worst ER department to visit. The nurses and staff are incredibly mean. The ER registration staff are always angry. I feel like this is a ER for prison inmates. Dont give then even a hint of attitude, not even a hint, …

  64. Every time I visit this hospital there are problems. The first time, they refused to give me pain medication after being in a car accident, didn’t check on me for over 4 hours after my initial admittance to the hospital room, and had many …

  65. This place doesn’t care about patients or the people who love their patients. I’m not surprised they have more 1 star ratings than any other rating. I’ll bleed out going to dignity health in camarillo before I ever go here again. And I’ll …

  66. Had my first child at vcmc. First off I’d like to say that my experience was Amazing, beyond belief at this hospital. The NURSING staff specifically helped me with my baby very well and didn’t neglect what so ever. Secondly, the Doctors …

  70. Today I seen the Surgeon Dr. Williams and it was our first meeting, he was pleasant and was able to preform the procedure right there. His nurse was amazing held my hand the entire time

  71. The restrictions not allowed visitors I believe is not acceptable I understand the safety of the patients but they need at list one family member especially if you full vaccinate, is important the emotional side

  75. My daughter had a gum laceration due to a fall, she had half inch of skin hanging from her front tooth and we were asking for me to stay with her because she is scared of hospitals. They refused due to covid-19, which I understand for older …

  76. When in today with my doctor of a fever of 103. Didn’t get seen by any doctors. When I asked them how much longer the nurse made a comment well isn’t that the million dollar question and than when on to say while I’m a travel nurse here no …
