Davis Medical Center

Fantastic support, care, and professionalism from Christina in the Labor and Delivery dept floor #3. Thanks are not enough for the care and support you gave my daughter during her stay! Baby Neal and Mary were blessed to have you as their Nurse.

I had the most caring nurse in your 2nd floor ICU!!! Madison and Kendall were the bomb!!! They took excellent care of me and explained things clearly to me and my husband. I had a lot of needs during my 3 1/2 day stay, but they totally rolled with it and helped keep me calm during a very scary time!! I appreciate them so much!!! I'm glad I was airlifted there!!!

I recently was diagnosed with a heart condition. I had chest pains through the night and into the next morning. I was unable to see my doctor and was advised to go to the ER. I did. Where I sat for 7.5 hours...without being seen. I had an EKG, blood work and X Rays. I was never seen. When I was called for a third check of vitals I burst into teas and told them I’m obviously not in danger and I’m going home. I can not believe UCD treated me so dismissively. No communication. No concern. Ridiculous. Shame on you.

I went into UC Davis on Broadway Emergency Room back in 2006. My jaw was broken in two places. Needless to say the Emergency Room Doctor that was there at the time. Looked at What X-Rays, I have no idea. He told me There's Nothing Broken or Fractured. Go home take Ibuprofen or Motrin for the pain. 10 day's later I went back to UC Davis on Broadway Emergency Room. The Emergency Room Doctor had X-Rays taken again. He told me that my jaw was Broken in Two Places. I had to wait for an Professional Jaw/Bone Doctor to see me. The Professional Doctor looked at my jaw, he confirmed that my jaw was Broken in Two Places. Then he asked me if I had Insurance, to which I replied No. So he then told me that I have to Check myself out of the ER, catch a bus to the Primary Care on Broadway, and apply for Insurance. Once Approved for Insurance I could come back to the ER to be seen. While I was standing outside waiting at the bus stop for the bus. The Doctor that found out that my jaw was Broken in Two Places, came out to the bus stop. He told me FK that Roberta I'm going to get you a bed, and place me into the hospital for care. I was Totally Blessed by Being Lucky Enough to Get That Doctor. Other than that; I've Got Nothing Nice to Say About UCD.

I can't vouch for the quality of the medical attention due to the absolute LACK of courteous attention. We sat and waited over 5 hours and the only attention we got was a blood pressure check (the nurse left it wrapped on her arm so long that her arm became purple!) and her temp. Parking was $5 door 2 1/2 hours, and almost non existent. At the end of the first $5, I was informed that a different parking area was free for 6 hours. Circling the area for parking was tedious. Took me about 30 minutes to find a spot. On a very light medical emergency say it would still be a challenge to park due to the limited spaces made available. If I HAD to go to Davis Hospital I would go in an ambulance. After many hours of waiting, I went to the cafe. At first I thought this was a bright spot in a certain dingy place. I ordered a cheese burger and fries. After a 15 minute wait, at the cashier, there was a sign that said nothing larger than a $20 will be accepted. All I had was 2 $50 bills. They said to go to the gift store for change. Again refused. By now the WAY overdone yet cold gray burger wasn't edible. I guess they would rather serve it to another customer or toss it out. I would refuse it if it we're free! We eventually walked out of the hospital without any medical attention by ANY doctor. I would recommend going ANTWHERE else for any addliction greater than a scratched knee. It was also very hard to find. Not a fair amount of of directional signs. I change my stars to -2.
