Nyleen B Had an outpatient surgery and was very impressed, especially considering reviews. They processed my check-in immediately upon arrival, only waited 3 minutes to be called back for prep, very attentive and kind staff at all steps in the process, clean and simple orderly hospital. The longest "wait" we had between all activities was literally 15 minutes while the OR was prepped.
Megan my intake nurse was great to talk to and very detailed. Dr. Weiler the anesthesiologist was very detailed and approachable. Sam the OR nurse was very present and swift. My recovery room was quiet and thankfully we had a very brief time there before being discharged. Arrived at 1130 for a 130 surgery and was headed home by 345!

Alex Adhami A couple nights ago, my senior mom was taken to the Providence Cedars-Sinai Tarzana ER by ambulance because Kaiser Woodland Hills ER was full. To my great dismay, the ER nurses were all rude from the time we arrived until the time we left. I just dont get it. Especially since Providence recently merged with Cedars-Sinai (reputable with deep pockets), why arent the nurses told or trained on basic customer service?? They simply have no compassion or manners. It didnt help that they were overfilled with patients sitting in the hallways separated by temporary partitions, but that is no excuse! On the flip side, my experience with Kaiser Woodland Hills ER nurses (I am there often) is always pleasant and comforting!

Jacklyn Q Visiting this ER was my first experience after a traumatizing incident at West Hills ER, and my satisfaction is boundless. The exceptional treatment I received made me feel valued and cared for as a human, not just another patient. This warmed my heart. I am immensely grateful for the superb and compassionate care youve offered me. Thank you.

Kacie Anderson I recently gave birth to my first child, here at Cedar-Sinai and it was by far the most traumatic experience of my life. I received not 1, but 2 blown veins from the “specialists” when I arrived, in an attempt to connect me to the IV machines. Not 1, but 2 failed epidurals from the anesthesiologists . The first one, Dr Zlatts, will haunt me for life. I felt the entire process, only to not ever receive relief and my right hip went numb. One of the nurses on duty told me he has a 50% success rate and suggested I wait for the next shift to rectify this situation. not only was he not good at his job, but he was rude, non communicative, and seemed like he hated his job. I was awake all night, feeling every contraction, thanks to him. How he is still employed is a mystery. The second anesthesiologist, Dr Megan, was an absolute gem, very empathetic and made sure I didnt feel anything. I was an amazing second round, but unfortunately was unable to numb me. I was in labor for 31 hours and felt every, single, minute of it. Towards the end, I was asked to begin pushing by a nurse, once my baby’s head was out, I was told to “wait for the Dr to arrive” and to stop pushing…. While waiting for the delivery Dr to return, I had about 7-8 random nurses enter my room while I was spread eagle and vulnerable with my child’s head outside of me, watching. I did not consent to this at any point. There were 4 nurses I would love to mention by name who all deserve raises and the only reason this post gets any stars at all: Hailey, Fanny, Jacquelin, Gisel. These ladies were absolute angels.
After giving birth, I was taken to the postpartum area to begin my 48 hour stay. Nurses entered our room every hour on the hour, most times without knocking and just barging in. One of the nurses came in to take our baby’s temp, right after we had fed her and said she was cold (97.3 temp) and took her from us to go place her under heating lamps in another room. She threatened multiple times that if the baby didn’t heat up, she’d be taking her to NICU. Mind you, it was right after she hadn’t been wearing her blanket to feed. The baby warmed up within minutes.
At the end of our stay, a young lady came in to ask us how the food was. We were honest and told her it was horrible. She then says someone was supposed to be coming in to take our order. That never happened.
Overall, would highly suggest you give birth elsewhere if you can. I no longer want to have any other children after this experience, but if I can eventually overcome the ptsd, I can assure you it will not be at Cedar Sinai Tarzana.

Colin Sizemore Was here for six days. Excellent doctors, nurses, the MRI tech Daniel was awesome as well. CNAs were delightful as well. Very attentive, kind, listened, took me seriously...
The reason for the 4 stars and not 5 was the food situation. Kept getting it wrong, but they were nice as well. Highly recommend this hospital
