San Gabriel Valley Medical Center

I was in and out of there in an hour and 45 minutes - but the care I got was exceptionally good. I had them change my picc line - and the nurse did an excellent job. The doctor was very kind and experienced as well. The intake nurse was very nice and professional and I wish I lived in San Gabriel, because I’d much rather go to this hospital than any other hospital I’ve been to in LA, besides Cedar Sinai - but I liked the staff better here.

Was transported by ambulance to ER and then admitted. The staff at ER were great. Everything ran smoothly and they made a decision to admit me pretty efficiently and transferred me to the cardiac floor. The doctors here are very knowledgeable. (I hate to say it but more than many I have had in the past, but it is a fact!) The nurses here are very concerned, helpful and act like they care about their patients and like what they do. The transport team was great too. I was taken by Josh, who is part of the transport team countless times for MRI. Jose, the MRI technologist was very nice and professional.

Sorry I'm not crazy about the food. But as we know it's an on going joke about hospital food...Hahaha...2 of the night my friend brought me soup for dinner.

They used to have private rooms even though it was classified as semi-private because of shared restroom or non-shared restroom. Now the rooms are really semi-private where you are sharing with another patient. Sometimes it was hard to rest with the other patient in the room due to them yelling or calling for the nurse really loud or having personal conversations really loud or having the volume for the TV really loud all the time. I hope that the hospital would consider going back to the other setup. All the hospitals I have been in recently are setup with one patient per room so the patients can get better rest.

Overall I think this is a nice facility. If I was to get sick and needed to be hospitalized, I would consider coming back to here.

MD initialed "FL" in ER did not prescribe appropriate medication for bacterial infection. He wanna force narcotic codeine which will further prolong x worsen infection so patient fortunately refused wrong medication, the codeine. Please do not kill our patients with codeine and dangerous OTC. He sent patient home with the OTC which causes GI bleeding and NOT appropriate medication for the reason patient came to ER... Went days without antibiotic due to holidays until I saw my primary doctor. Gross negligence on his behalf. The RN was otherwise competent.

My name is Maria Llacuna.
I came to see my son and I was impressed by Dora because she gave good advice for my family and Dora told my son to be a good boy and try not to hurt himself. Dora is very compassionate with my son and I personally like her because she is very funny! Very friendly! Played boars games with my son.
She is the best burse to take care of my son.

My son is very very happy with her because she gives the best advice to him.
And Dora told my son to think of nothing wrong and go back to school to make a good future for him and the family.

I took my son there the other. They took care of him super well and were really nice. Our PA Anthony and the Nurse Shari were really good w the baby as well as offered us options on how to take care of his laceration. I’m so glad they were just down the street.
