Donald Ross 2.5 years ago I moved my care from another bay area provider, thinking I would get better care from the highly touted Stanford. I have received care from various Physicians in various departments and I was forunate to have very good DRs, Nurses, and other team members. BUT, the downside, It is the lack of communication between departments, technical, online and computer providing wrong medications and more. Due to error, I wound up in EC Hospital ER last year. My appointments were delayed due to peer communications and today my medication and appointment that took me 3 months to get is pushed into another time.
As soon as I finish my treatments with this mess of an organization, I am returning to my previous organization, where I should have stayed to begin with.
I will also inform APPLE and UHC of all the issues I have had to bear.

Katrina Tsun Avoid at all costs. If you need mental help especially, you’re better off getting arrested. I’m not even kidding. At least then, you’ll get a warm cell with a toilet and a sink, and a bed with blankets and a pillow. And you’re more likely to get out the next day too. Absolutely inhumane treatment.
The psychologist who treated me couldnt even tell the difference between mania, delusions and psychosis. I was overmedicated, had to start refusing medication, and even had to have a hearing to be able to leave after 3 days. I can honestly say I became significantly worse after staying. I will never come back here again.
Everyone who works here should be ashamed of themselves. But then again, these are the same people that brought you the Milgram Prison Experiment, so is it really that surprising?
Avoid at all costs.

Susan Price I went to Dr. Diana Tahereh Atashroo for a laparoscopy to have my endometriosis cut out. It went horribly because of the doctors carelessness. I am healthy, in my early 20s and all I wanted was to stop my pain. I was worried to have surgery and about scarring, but I was assured I would wake up pain-free and it would only be 4 very small horizontal scars. When I woke up from surgery I was in excruciating pain. I didnt know what was happening, I could barely talk. I was rolling around groaning and begging for help. In the common recovery room where even other patients were starting to get irritated at the lack of help and wanted to help themselves. Eventually, the anesthesiologist came and gave me pain medicine, and I was given a catheter after surgery. I found out it was urine retention because I did not have a catheter in during the surgery like I was supposed to. The anesthesiologist and a nurse who was helping with my surgery told me I did not have a catheter in at all during surgery. The laparoscopy went about 5 hours. Because of the pain my outpatient surgery turned into me having to stay overnight. I kept waking up in pain because of this. I was left in the dark as to what happened by this doctor. After I was finally able to go home the next day I removed the top layer of my bandages and seen someone had peeled the tape and my skin along with it and put the tape back on to hide it. I now have an ugly large rectangular tape scar. When I asked why this happened at my follow up appt, Dr Atashroo lied and told me I had a catheter in and she took it out when I was finished with my surgery, but the anesthesiologist and nurse told me I never had one. I just wanted reassurance this wouldnt happen if I have another surgery and an apology would have been nice. But all she did was get defensive and lie about it. The surgery did not help at all. Nothing has changed in regards to pain. Save yourself the heartache and pain and see anyone else.

C B (Bman) I went here for heart surgery but they screwed it up and now my life depends on a pacemaker. On top of that one of the nurses told me I should live in East Palo Alto, despite the high crime, because my wife is African American.
AVOID THIS INSTITUTION BECAUSE YOUR LIFE DEPENDS ON IT!

Alpha Astroid Stay away from this hospital! They have some of the worst, most racist, and unprofessional personel including incompotent physicians, lazy/mean nurses, unethical/rude/condescending case managers and disorganized social workers. Thats all I can say. CDPH and other health care authorities should investigate about their mismanagemnet and misconduct.
