Alvarado Hospital Medical Center

I want to reiterate my experience from a year ago seeing as how the recent reviews have only gotten worse. I hope this tells everyone to steer clear of this facility. The malpractice here is incredible and I truly am nervous for people’s health and safety when walking through these doors. My family has a lot of experience in the medical field and they too were shocked when I told them about this incident. Disgusting establishment. Never walk through their doors if you can avoid it (which you absolutely can).

The nursing staff was absolutely atrocious and should not be working for a hospital. Never in my life have I been disrespected in the short amount of time I was in their facility. We were refused care and talked down to as if we were doing something wrong when in reality we were trying to help someone who truly needed medical attention. The next hospital we went to was a total 180 from Alvarado and provided us care with kindness and no questions asked because they understood what they needed to do in this situation, unlike the staff here. They responded the way a true hospital should be run. I can't wrap my mind around how the treatment of people who are in need of help come second to their egos. The nurse that was in charge, Dan, is the most disrespectful and unkind individual and if he wants to continue the attitude and tone in which he spoke to us, he should look for a new profession. I will be contacting the hospital immediately in phone and/or in person to go over this whole situation. Completely embarrassed for this place.

My girlfriend has been to this hospital twice for completely unrelated issues. The first time was a few months ago and service was horrible. The doctors weren’t nice and they billed her insurance wrong which required a lot of hassle to remedy. However, we had to go again tonight because she was having difficulty breathing and they were great! All the doctors were extremely friendly, they helped her quickly, and everything was smooth. Would definitely recommend this ER based on my most recent experience.

Well as for me there were the best careing the way they treated my son as well as for me was great ..I was there from Stockton . Had no family no we're to stay or sleep they help me I stayed there at the hospital. With my son plus help me with food I had 30 cents in my pocket .when I got here and I'm still here. They are the best recommended to any one..my son is very well taken care of the way these nurses are gives me peace.i thank God for such a great staff

While busy, the emergency room was still able to x-ray my broken hand and wrap it up in under two hours. Staff was caring and facility was clean. They were able to transfer records to another doctor in a timely manner, although I highly recommend getting your records before you leave if you anticipate needing them as getting the paperwork and signing forms in their records department is necessary after the fact.

Alvarado Hospital should be put out of business. I had the worst experience there! Fluid not given, even though tests showed I was dehydrated, medicine was supposedly ordered, but never dispensed to me. Staff was apathetic. The hospital itself should be condemned. It’s outdated and dilapidated. My room was horrible. Chunks of plaster missing from the walls, broken, missing and filthy blinds, dirty floor and walls painted pea soup green. Nothing about this place gave me a feeling of safety, security or healing. I would give a zero star rating if I could. Run, don’t walk, if you are sent to Alvarado Hospital!
