Carlsbad Medical Center

First time we went, my wife had a concussion. Waited for a few hours in the waiting room, then she was taken to a waiting room and waited another hour. Dr. came in, asked her a few questions. Gave her some Tylenol and told her to go home and rest. That was apparently worth $4000.
Recently went in when my daughter broke her collar bone. Didn’t have to wait long this time. She was balling and in pain. I asked the admissions lady if they could give her something for the pain as we were filling out the paperwork. She told us they would give her something later. We were seen briefly by a doctor, who asked one or two questions. Then they scanned her. We waited a few minutes. Dr. Came back and said. It’s broken. Keep that arm immobile and take ibuprofen. They never gave her anything. We were in and out in less than an hour. That hour was worth $3300.

I do not know, nor has my business ever employed Kyle Nichols or Catrina R Carillo in my business, Mosaic Architectural Solutions, PA, nor do I owe either of these two persons any money or wages. Yet Carlsbad Medical Center through their attorneys, Faber and Brand, LLC represented by Jonathan L Shoener, have put court and collective action against my company for money they want to garnish from us. I have to spend my valuable time responding to a frivolous action! This is absurd!

I’m from out of state and here traveling with my husband for work. I came in because I feared I was having a possible heart attack, (I was having pain in my arms) it took over an hour to get a bed and another 40+ minutes to get seen by the doctor! Who talked to me for about 3 minutes and said I’m just having muscle pain and recommend an ice pack!! If I thought it was just “muscle pain” I would’ve taken the ibuprofen they gave me, at home and not made an ER visit. They were a little busy but don’t try and just push people out and make patients feel as if we’re wasting your time! The people of Carlsbad deserve so much better! I saw another post saying the staff talk you like your a child and I wouldn’t say they talked to me that way but they definitely looked at me as if I was a child being overly dramatic about the nature of my visit! I left there angry and upset! Basically crying on my way back home because they made me feel as if i wasted their time and didn’t give time to actually check me out other than doing the basic blood pressure, listening go breathing and “does it hurt when I touch there”routine! 2+ hours to get seen for less than 5 minutes and an ibuprofen! worst ER experience ever! How can you have faith in a hospital where the doctors seem like they don’t want to do their jobs properly! and trust that they’ll do everything they can to make sure you’re in good health! Ridiculous! I hope for the rest of my time here in Carlsbad I’ll never have to come back to this hospital!

The competent, attentive staff at Carlsbad Medical Center took excellent care of my father recently. From the ER and Cardiac Cath Lab, to ICU and the Transitional Care Unit, he received outstanding care from a compassionate team.

Came in with my husband cause he's had stomach pains for months now. They said it would be a 20 min wait and we've been waiting for an hour. When you talk to the nurses or doctors, they talk to you like you're a child They have no respect. If you need to go to the hospital just go to Artesia, hobbs, anywhere but here.
