Redwood Memorial Hospital

I have had medical experiences at RMH. I have always had good experiences and outcomes. The staff are professional and friendly. The staff get to know the community they serve. The doctors are well trained. Much of the staff are long time staff members.

I've been to the Emergency Room three times in 13 years living here. Once with my son with a broken wrist, once with a friend requiring 21 stitches across his forehead and once for myself. Each time we were taken in immediately and processed through x-rays, cat scans, traction etc. (as needed) as quickly as possible by a friendly and knowledgeable staff. Thank you Redwood Memorial : )

Most of the staff was really nice and I wasn't waiting as long as I would have in eureka but the nurse was very rough on my IV. First she put the needle in my arm and instead of putting it in and pulling out all the way if the vein rolls she just kept moving it in and out even though I asked her to stop from pain she kept going. After putting the needle in she asked if it hurt and when I responded Yes she shrugged it off and continued hooking me to the IV. I was in more pain than before from 7:30 to about 9:30 because I was in pain to begin with but because of the pain from the IV that was causing me to cry from pain that no matter what she refused to do anything for it. And she even refused to listen to my mother who was the one who took me in. And when she took out the IV she jammed the needle in my arm, may not have been on purpose but she did it, and she angled the needle too before pulling it out very quickly causing me to start bleeding and then she put everything on to stop the blood, including latex tape, WHICH I MENTIONED I WAS HIGHLY ALLERGIC TO so when I got home my entire arm was in so much pain and had a huge bruise on it from the IV and a rash from the tape and all of these kept me up all night so I couldn't sleep. Great visit and they determined my illness which was great but the nurse made me surprised she even graduated college.

Absolutely the worst visit I have ever had. Wait 3 to 4 hours for a Doctor to diagnose me off his cell phone.... then the relentless billing afterwards... 2100$ for the room, and almost 2900$ for the web md doctor. What a joke

Patients wait up to 5-6 hours I’m waiting room. They’ll just sit you in a wheelchair in the waiting room if you pass out. My advice if there’s something really wrong save your life by going to a different hospital.
