Had been sitting in the ER since 9:15pm and it's 2am. Friend had a nasty open wound that wouldn't stop bleeding. They taped it and said we would be right in. Almost 6 hours later still waiting. Absolutely horrible. I hope this building gets shut down.

The most disgusting hospital I've ever seen! ZERO STARS! The nurses at the desk were extremely disrespectful and not at all sympathetic to patients who are coming in for help. Couldn't even use the bathroom because even the nurse recommended not to use them because they were disgusting. My cousin had a concussion and they still allowed her fall asleep even though she wasn't checked yet. Not even toilet paper! They had patients wipe with wet wash clothes! Horrible service, was treated as just some dumb college kids yet the condition was actually extremely serious! Do not recommend going there!

Came here after I blew my shin out at the gym I came at 12:30am waited to be checked in at the desk until 1:30am not one person came over finally someone came over and asked what I needed as I'm struggling to even stand up and I said can I checked in he told that the nurses are over loaded and someone will get to me no one ever got to me so I left in pain to drive myself to another hospital 20 miles away because of how ridiculous the wait was while there's people sitting there getting checked up for a minor cough I'm struggling to even sit still as my leg is purple this isn't an emergency room it's more of a wait until your injury makes you pass out on the floor until you can grab the attention of someone who works in the establishment

This place is absolutely horrid. Sat in the waiting room for 3 hours without being seen once, watched a 22 month old baby get taken in for a gash on his forehead and they told the parents "the room isn't cleaned yet but we'll do it when we get the chance " as they are taking him to the room! Nurses did multiple check ups on people for their medical conditions in the waiting room, giving them no privacy. Not one doctor or nurse had a pair of gloves on either.

They told my wife and I that everything was fine with our son, while he was dead in her womb. After almost killing my wife in the birthing process (8 attempts at an epidural before doing it "right"), we were told we'd have the autopsy report "very soon." 6 months and at least a dozen phone calls later, we still get told that they'll "do that right now" and never hear back. I'm writing this before I contact the medical examiner's office, which I will do as soon as possible, and if we find out that the delay is on the part of cvph, we will be finding a lawyer. This place is a disgrace. It's a place to die in, not a place to get medical assistance.

Last year, I had an encounter with doctor Gabriel. I feel that I was neglected treatment because I lacked medical insurance. I felt sick, i was in pain, I started to think I was pathetic, because I am alone. Before I could explain why I believed to have been suffering from a head truama, the doctor redirected the conversation to the insurance. I explained I was homeless at the time, working, but no insurance or money on add. I tried to bring the conversation back to why I was there but Gabriel made it clear he wanted to talk about the insurance. So I left.

I am highly disappointed in CVPH hospital. I was brought in last evening by ambulance given a room. This Carol lady came and took my vitals and did an EKG, about 45 minutes later this nurse came in with a tiny piece of paper to write my symptoms down to put in my chart supposedly. At 9:20 after waiting over 2 hrs, I was told there were 15 patients ahead of me and I had to go wait in the waiting room.
I thought if you were brought in by ambulance you were automatically checked out first. I was wrong. Glad I didn't have a heart attack. Probably been thrown out the door. Needless to say I left and they watched me go and never said a word. Sad part is I know the guy who was on the desk. He never said a word to me. Personality like his parents NONE
