I regret sending my mother to this hospital when she needed oxygen due to having COVID. For starters, her driver license and insurance card were lost by this hospital. She spent a few days in the ER and was sent to their ICU without explaining to me why. When I finally tested negative for COVID I went to visit her, she was still conscious but telling me through the window that she was hungry. The nurse at the time said she could not remove her mask because her oxygen level would drop. So why not use a nasal mask? I begged to be allowed in, I had COVID after my mother did, and I was willing to take

I am very impressed with my care during my outpatient surgery at Alvarado Hospital Medical Center. I am typically anxious and I often pass out from receiving IV's but the admitting nurses Nancy and Danielle were truly kind and reassuring and I was able to tolerate it no problem. My anesthesiologist Dr. Palacios made the experience very smooth. I made a special request to Dr. Palacios so I could make it to my flight which was on the same day of surgery so I could recover at home. I was able to make it there alert thanks to him! I highly recommend outpatient surgery at Alvarado Hospital Medical Center

My daughter was taken by ambulance to Alvarado hospital for possible covid. They put her in a wheelchair and sat her outside in the cold for a few hours. A person leaving saw her shivering and went inside and asked them to give her blankets. A nurse came out and very rudly told her if she wasn't having breathing problems or throwing up they would send her home. Thankful the tested her and found her not only dehydrated but her potassium was 2.3. She received potassium iv and a nurse went in to see why she was crying and calling for help. The nurse said, omg he didn't delute the potassium. She got

About my trip to the ER at Alvarado hospital last Sunday morning. The woman who handled the insurance and took my co-pay was so sweet and kind. I can’t thank her enough for the warm blanket. It really is the little things we humans do for each other that make a difference. It wasn’t her job, but she did it with joy and compassion. I’m grateful.

My visit to the ER at Alvarado Hospital was pleasant,as ER visits go, and quite a surprise. Instead of spending hours in misery waiting at Grossmont, I was in a bed within 30 minutes. All the staff were very nice, all properly masked and quite competent in their given duties. Everyone was very responsive to my needs and I felt well cared for. The doctor assigned to my case was pleasant and efficient. I received the proper aftercare instructions and prescriptions, all done in a timely manner
Thanks to the Alvarado staff for getting me back home within a reasonable time and for being such good sports

Been to this hospitals ER and I can’t say enough good words about this ER. Yes there are times they have a big wait line but it’s very accurate to the Estimated wait time on their website.
I LOVE the nurses here. They are so nice and make you feel very welcoming. The also helped me out with my health insurance. I can’t thank the staff here enough for everything they have done for me.
