Elizabeth Bloom I’m grateful to have a medical center in town, however when they hire doctors who don’t want to actually help patients such as their GI doctor, Eldo Frezza… it makes me want to tell everyone to run for the hills.

H J (JH) Speaking strictly on the rehabilitation wing, this is an undeniably incompetent and dangerous place for you, family, or friends to be admitted to. When you are not sitting in your soiled garments, the staffs inability to route calls and messages will negatively affect communication with pharmacy, doctor, family and more.
Nurses will hang up on you if you advocate reasonably for family members. They will leave you on hold out of spite, after your issue is "hot potatoed" between several people that require you to re-explain your request from square one. You will spend hours on the phone trying to simply get a message to a nurse practitioner, requiring you to escalate, using all of your focus and energy on simply getting communication flowing.
They will try to keep your family members here and declare them unfit to leave, all the while not challenging them to improve, leaving them to languish - as a sedentary and doomed individual will ultimately accrue more cash for a for-profit hospital.
I come from a lifetime of being admitted to hospitals, clinics, specialists, and medical centers due to chronic health issues - Ive never once seen this level of disorganization and simultaneous apathy in a medical center.
Look into their 2021 wrongful death lawsuit if you need convincing to avoid this place at all costs. I am not convinced their staff are working to wipe that slate clean, as the same level of negligence, stubbornness, and lack of critical empathy seem to echo in its halls.
TL;DR: dont go here.

Mara Zavala Hello, I read some of these reviews and I have to say. I never experienced any of this myself. I have taken both my daughters there 2 and 5. They have done the absolute best job. The nurses have been so sweet to them and treated them with the best care. I have called to follow up on some test that have been done. I was not hung up on. Roxy should be a pediatrics nurse my daughter will forever remember her gentle care. Alot of you need to understand we are small underfunded county. Some of these issues I read on should of been handled by a bigger hospital. The funding is unfortunately not there. Dr. Brown is just a straight forward person some people cant handle that. She has a job to do, they are trained medical professionals they cant sit there and be sad for you. They are caring for 20 other patients. Some of these comments are seriously like who raised you.

Terri Brooks I give no stars. This is the worst place ever. With limited exception, the nurses and staff members could care less about their patients.
Dr. Veronica is a horrible doctor and doesnt listen to patient concerns. She barely spends a moment with her patients. The lack of compassion towards the patients is unacceptable. The food is similar to dog food and makes you feel nauseous. You are ignored when asking to speak to someone in a certain department, ie nutrition, physical therapy. They are clueless regarding outside resources discharge plan and contradictory with information. You cant believe what you are told because nothing is correct or consistent. Many things are broken and lack maintenance.
Patients constantly screaming for help and no one offers any comfort. I would never send a loved one for care at this facility. HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE. The doctor, Veronica, and most nurses should choose a different profession, they are not fit to be caregivers. This place should be shut down. The only time broken English is spoken is when speaking to a patient.

Ashley Covington I was in excruciating pain due to an undiagnosed illness. I came in the ER screaming for help. I couldnt do anything by writhe in pain. The staff understood and got me help as quickly as possible. The staff was understanding, professional, and respected me as a human being. I ended up being air lifted to a different hospital but will forever be grateful for Colusa Medical Center. As as a partial African American woman, you hear horror stories about staff mistreating us. I was grateful for their work ethic and believe it gave me hope to keep pushing through to my recovery
