Had severe pain and needed to go to the ER. I do not have insurance and heard this was the place to go. Due to the financial assistance available, this place has a very long waiting room in the ER. I waited for 9 hours to see a doctor. That said, sadly there are few places that are in the business of helping people and many places very happy to charge you thousands of dollars for the minimum required emergency protocol. Olive View has a great staff. I saw Dr. Alex Zhornitskiy (Might not be spelling correctly). He was incredible. Took the time to go through every possible reason for my pain and through process of elimination together he was able to direct me in how to care and who to see moving forward. I am lucky I did not have an emergency condition but if I did I am confident he would have found it.

This hospital is the worse hospital ever. I had to call the ambulance for my dad around 2am today and we asked them if they can take him to holy cross but they said they had to take him to olive view because it’s closer. First of all, every other ambulance that have came to take my dad to the hospital always took him to holy cross so I don’t know why they didn’t this time. For the longest the nurse and the doctor didn’t show up to check on my dad or give him anything to relieve the pain, they only asked for insurance information(guess that’s all that they care about). When the doctor came he was asking my dad questions mainly and did an ultra sound and didn’t come back after that. My mom asked the nurse if she can give my dad something for pain she said she would ask the doctor, which to my knowledge, she never even asked. She came to put the IV in my dad’s arm and it was so painful for him and she did not care. She kept giving him attitude . I left to go use the restroom and I can hear him screaming in pain. Later on he got up and left because they were doing nothing and just being very rude. I don’t recommend this hospital at all. I’m 17years old and it pains me to see my dad in such unbearable pain. The fact that I have school tomorrow and I had to sit in the hospital this early in the morning just to watch the doctors and nurses do nothing to help my dad is ridiculous. I wonder how they would feel if they had someone they love in the hospital and nurses and doctors aren’t caring for them nor do anything at all but waste their time and expect them to give them a big fat check.

I had been numerous times in Olive View Hospital, for different reasons. With each visit I was impressed with all doctors. When I stayed several days in the Hospital I told the staff members, "As much as I like to become healthier so I can go, I will miss your kindness, and true caring attitudes...

For that reason I have a primary doctor, and enjoy meeting with her when needed...

Thank you for protecting me from unnecessary drugs prescribed by the other Hospital doctors.... Thank you.

Horrible place I waited five hours to get help to find relief in my leg and no other people with less problems are getting admitted almost all the staff that I met with have a idgaf attitude. I left cause they are pretty useless. At least some fake decency would’ve been good.

I'm supposed to have some hand surgery from Olive View that I need to have done by them inorder to repair a cut tendon on my right index finger that happened to me over a year ago on May 31, 2017. However they still have not yet done it and keep on pushing the surgery back on further saying that they will need to reexamine my injury yet again b4 they give me the ok for me to get them to do the surgery or not yet. But time and time over, again and again, they keep on saying No that they are not going to do yet maybe next month. I'm really pissed that they keep on denying me the medical care that I need from them to do the surgery already, but they are the only close enough medical center for me to go from where I live in Lancaster CA that my insurance will cover evidently. So I guess that means that I have no choice but to wait until my next appointment with them to see if they will finally say yes to doing the 1st part of the surgery they want to do inorder to repair the tendon, there's more even after that I will have to go through still too, but not until they say yes to doing the part I need now on me to happen 1st before I can continue to heal and fix it completely. Sucks
