San Mateo Medical Center - San Mateo (CA)

5 /5 Caroline Waste-Lagerlof: First, understand public medical centers are very different from private or even university facilities. RRSCC at this facility is one of the very best geriatric clinics - many seniors, with private insurance as well as MediCal or Advantage plans have transferred their care from other clinics to be here. Caring professional staff, especially designed clinic - perfect. Wait times can be long - especially in ER - but given the volume of trauma casas and severity of some, not unexpected . As to insurance, SMMC takes all with or without and will work tirelessly to help with applications, benefits, etc. And don’t be fooled by my name - I’m multi racial - and here, that matters not at all. And - no, I’m not an employee - just someone who what’s seen first hand both the excellent and the sometimes less than stellar and still appreciates all that SMMC does.

5 /5 Rory Duran: Nurse Christine was amazing! Definitely give that miss a raise because she is so helpful and cheerful! A literal gem! She was not even my nurse and she made my experience there 100 times better! Totally went above and beyond to make everyone feel better. Everyone was pretty nice but she took the cake tonight. I have been there twice now. Once for me, and once for my partner. The CHERRY ON TOP for this center was that they were able to provide us with emergency medi-cal. We found out at the end out visit that the coverage we had was expired. But with their help EVERYTHING WAS COVERED at no cost to us. Visiting the ER is scary and most often times painful; for you and your wallet. San Mateo County Medical Center helped us at every scary turn. Keep up the great work team. Yall are really heros for keeping the community happy and healthy!
