Ventura County Medical Center

Had my first child at vcmc. First off I’d like to say that my experience was Amazing, beyond belief at this hospital. The NURSING staff specifically helped me with my baby very well and didn’t neglect what so ever. Secondly, the Doctors here are 5 star. My doctor constantly came in to check on baby and me every day and make sure everything was okay with my recovery. Every staff was beyond friendly, from CNA’s to house keeping. Their lactation nurses helped me in so many ways, as I am a new mother, I had no idea what I was doing hope breast feeding. Each staff really took the time to specifically care for me and baby. Most importantly, my baby was sent to NICU, and the staff of nurses in this dept. are truly passionate about taking the time to care for babies. I would recommend this hospital 100%. I will be going back to this hospital for future visits.

Is this place a circus? I don't know if it's a mix of the Allied Universal or whatever "security" poor layout and some mediocre staff. I swear I freaking got more steps in these past few days going from the broken emergency room doors, around the corner and back etc. Then security and check in is a nightmare being slow, not willing to communicate and not being compassionate. Some nurses are helpful and want the best for you, but I just hope I never end up getting care here.

Catherine Pohina was so helpful, knowledgeable, and considerate, that it made my visit wonderful. Thank you for an awesome experience

I literally saw a video on Facebook of the anesthesiologist who was in surgery with his dad (who was the surgeon) and the anesthesiologist took his mask off and recorded a video (MID SURGERY) of him doing an impression of Stewie from family guy yelling, “dad!!” For 40 seconds! Unprofessional and I’m pretty sure you’re not supposed to do. They also took a selfie in the surgery room! Talk about unclean!

If you need to make or change an appt it is a absolute joke trying to talk to anyone. I got put on hold 4 times for over 30min each time. I give up. Guess I just won’t show up
