Emanuel Medical Center

Brought a friend here at 8:30 pm. It’s a nice clean place, but, that’s about all I can say good about it. She was checked in and sent to X-​ray fast enough, but, the PA that first saw her had no patient assessment skills, which upset her quite a bit. She told him at least 3/​times what was wrong and he didn’t comprehend it one bit.
Finally, after waiting to see the doc for 2/​hours, she was told she fractured her ankle and would be splinted. Well, we are going on 2/​more hours with no splint. We are now going into the 5^th hour, no one comes in to check her, see if she needs anything, nothing. They are all just sitting at the station chatting.
I thought health care was equal across the country, but I was wrong. I doubt very much I will be coming to this hospital anytime soon for care.

On Wednesday the 30^th of December, I had to take my mother to Emanuel Medical Center, which was a complete nightmare! I was told that I was rude Which was not true! They also wouldn’t let me see or talk to my mother! Who I took in upon the advice of my mothers Doctor, to Emanuel Hospital! in Turlock, Ca! This was one of the worst hospitals That I’ve ever been in! I will tell all my friends & post about the abuse & the way that I was treated at your facility! I’ll start with Facebook & go from there! Please address this problem! s with your facility EMANUEL HOSPITAL in Turlock CA.

Took my daughter here last night they took us back right away because she was experiencing chest pain ran an EKG and then left us there in the room. It took 6 hours to get a blood test, CT and chest X-​ray. The nurses and PA were wonderful but the doctor had terrible bedside manner. We were freezing cold and finally at hour 5 were offered blankets. They came in asking my daughter for payment before her test results were even back leaving her panicking and in tears. Ended up leaving after 6 hours with no answers just told to see her doctor. Complete waste of time and money. Next time will just drive to Memorial Hospital.

Just gave birth to our first baby girl on Saturday. Came in 5am Saturday morning through ER and I must point out it was very clean.
Every single nurse we had was absolutely amazing. Sarah and Desiree were my LD nurses and both were so nice. I hate needles and sometimes it’s worse than others so when I finally did an epidural I told anesthesiologist please do not tell me what’s going on and I will be ok. My amazing nurse, Sarah, talked to me the whole time while helping hold me forward telling me to imagine the beach so I wouldn’t think about what was going on. It was super busy so Desiree was with us for the remainder of the day. She was amazing and so nice too. She kept me calm and coached me through the rest of the process. Our poor Dr was covering for 3 other Drs and the on call Dr for people coming in without one. He was very busy and tired to say the least but everything went great. When we moved over to the maternity ward we were absolutely spoiled by our night nurse Debbie. She insisted on changing diapers and helping burp. We came home feeling very well taken care of and I can’t believe all the bad reviews. Every nurse we had even in passing was so friendly, we don’t have a single negative thing to say.

I went into the E. r around 12am. The lady who drew my blood blew my vain and now there is a huge painful lump on my arm, and on top on that I was in one if the back rooms for 4 hours freezing and they refused to give me a blanket! My husband came in my room a few hours later and ask if I can have a blanket the nurse rolled her eyes and told him that I can’t have one cause they were going to move me in a minute, and of course my husband is trying to make me feel better and told the nurse «but she is freezing now!» And gave up talking to her. after 1.5 hours I’m still in the same room, still freezing my butt off and that’s when the doc shows up telling me what’s wrong, about an hour later is when I get discharged. The nurses here are untrained, disrespectful, and have very poor bed side manor! You are better off going to any other place but here!

I lost an argument with a table saw this last Saturday. I came to Emanuel’s for stitches. They really take great care you there. My highest regards to PA Teresa C, Roland, and Lacy. They made the visit quick and as pleasant as possible. Just great people doing a difficult job. Thanks so much.

Unfortunately there are no 0 stars or better yet NEGATIVE stars, so one will have to do. I’ve waited a few months to write this review because I’ve been so angry at the thought of this place that I just couldn’t get myself to write anything other than a rant.. First of all this will be my first review EVER. That’s how bad they were, I had to write about it. I went in on a Saturday in April with my husband because I was 5 weeks pregnant and bleeding. There were literally only two people in the waiting room yet it took them 2 hours to get me inside. (1) I got there at 1:30−2pm and didn’t go into the back until 4:00. (2) I was brought in and got my vitals checked, got asked a few routine questions except for what medications I was on, if any. I happen to have a really bad allergy to a medication and its contents and I told the nurse myself since they didn’t bother to ask me. (3) the wait time in the back was just as bad, it’s not like I’m losing my baby or anything. Take your time! (4) my husband and I were overhearing some nurses bickering about overtime and how one wasn’t able to stay because the head nurse was trying to get back at her and she wasn’t going to help anymore. Blah blah. Again, nothing better than to be losing a baby. and listening to some ridiculous drama from the people whose hands you’re in. (4) the dr FINALLY comes in and asks me the same exact questions they asked me in the reception area. How far along are you? How much are you bleeding? Any pain? Is this your first pregnancy? Do you drink? Do you smoke? Etc. then he said. Ok we’re going to take some blood and do an ultrasound. (5) I was sent back to the waiting room. Yes back into the waiting too rather than being allowed to lay down with my feet up as I wait for my ultrasound. (6) after an hour it’s time for an ultrasound. the ultrasound tech was not my favorite what so ever. First she made my husband wait in the lobby. My only support and hes not allowed to see what’s going on with his child? Ok fine. She asks me my last day of my period. I told her and I also included that my dates put me at 7wks but I got blood work done to find out exactly how far along I am and it puts me at 5wks. She said ok and is doing the ultrasound and says. «You’re not 7wks, you’re much earlier.» (NO SHIT SHERLOCK I JUST SAID THAT!!!) yes I know, I’m 5wks. She said that was more accurate. Then she sent me on my way. (She was very rude). Then I got my blood done. The tech was really nice, no complaints about her. (7) it’s now about 7:30 and I’m back in the waiting room which is now PACKED. There are no seats available. I wait another 45 min then get called back. (8) I get put in a room and the dr comes in and says. «It looks like you lost it. The ultrasound tech doesn’t see anything so we believe you’ve already lost it.» Ok hold on. How did she not see anything yet said that I wasn’t 7wks that I was about 5wks? If there’s nothing there you can’t tell me how far along I am. He sends me back to the lobby because now I’m waiting for a Rhogam shot because of my blood type. (9) 20 min go by and I get called again. «Oh we made a mistake, it looks like there is a sac but nothing inside so we don’t know if it’s an ectopic pregnancy or an empty sac.» Those are two completely different things in different locations. One is inside the uterus and the other is in the tubes. Time to go back to the lobby and wait for my shot again. (10) it is now 9:30 and I tell my husband I just want to go home and lose my baby in peace. He goes and ask how much longer. 10 min later were back inside. (11) the dr wants to examine me to make sure my cervix is still closed but tells me that I need to go get it checked again on Monday to make sure it’s still closed. (12) another hour later a nurse comes in to «prep» me, I lose it and said you know what, he’s not checking anything. I’ve been here since 1:00. I want my shot and I want to go. (13) the dr comes in and wants to know why I’m refusing the exam and I told him that I wasn’t going to put myself through two different exams two days apart. He was fine with it and said he’d be back with my shot. (14) 30 minutes later, here comes the nurse with my shot. Now I have to be under observation and for 30 minutes and get my vitals checked again. Great! It’s not like I’ve been here awhile. (15) AN HOUR later still no one has come back. I press the call button and told them I’ve been waiting and still haven’t gotten anyone. When the nurse finally decided to come back I demanded they let me go already. (16) the discharge nurse comes in and tells me my baby is too little to see. Thanks. I rushed out of there and it was now 12:30am (almost 12hrs)
I started having contractions and I lost my baby that morning.
If you need medical care you’re better off getting some Tylenol and self diagnosing yourself than coming here. This was the worst medical experience of my life!

I was sent there by the urgent care when I fractured my elbow. I was never seen by a Dr. After waiting I was called up to triage and was told they could not help me that I would need to schedule an appointment with my dr and sent me on my way. A few months later I get a statement that my insurance was billed over $ 1000 for that visit. I called them to dispute this they told me I am getting billed for checking in and according to their records a dr did see me. I believe the falsified this to bill my insurance. That is what they call insurance fraud. I’m very dissatisfied with their services and billing practices. On top of everything the billing department sent me medical records of another patient which is a violation of HIPPA. I let them know and they didn’t seem to care. I guess there isn’t good medical places here in the valley. They have shady billing practices and don’t take care of personal information very well. on top of everything else the employees are rude and not knowledgable

ER desk was rude right away. I got there at 330p on a Friday and didn’t get out until 1245a… and apparently there was nothing wrong with me. I had lower abdominal pain that had been persistent for a couple days but that day I couldn’t stand it anymore… after exam, blood test and ultrasound, «nothing» was wrong. all I got was a prescription for Tylenol and a $ 748 bill. and that’s with insurance. Be careful, while the «hospital» may be in your network, the doctors are independent contractors and if you happen to get one that’s out of network, you’re screwed. And while the hospital billed my insurance under a doctor by the name of KENNETH ZAWACKI, I never ONCE saw or spoke to that doctor. I was attended by a nurse practitioner, which was the only good thing about this visit. Mr. Greenley was thorough, respectful and compassionate. If you can help it, go anywhere but here.

Took my mother in for dehydration and pain. Fast intake but to see the dr in emergency department might take a while. Nursing Staff is friendly though. The nurses are efficient, warm, friendly and surprisingly attentive.

My mother was fortunate to have Dr. Pazokie for her surgery. Dr. Pazokie was thorough, very professional, and came out right away to let us know how it went. She explained everything she did and what we needed to do to help my mom during her recovery. However, the nurses on the surgical floor were a different story. The first nurse she had, Annabelle was wonderful. Very sweet, very gentle. The second nurse, Daljit was horrible. She stood around gossiping with other nurses while the call button was going off. Very rough with my mother and not very attentive. My advice to everyone, avoid Daljit if you can. Her inattentiveness is a tragedy in the making.

Came here last night with extreme lower abdominal pain and vomiting. I could barely walk and even vomited while in line at the emergency room. I was just planning on ignoring my pain because I do not enjoy being in hospitals. I didn’t want to go to the emergency room at all, but my boyfriend begged me to go.
The nurses at the front desk really don’t give a shit about what’s wrong with you. They are just there to put in your information and give you a wristband. I waited about 45 mins and they finally got some blood out of me then waited another 4 hours without a doctor seeing me.
I asked the lady at the front desk if I could just leave because I just wanted to lay in a bed and I didn’t want to wait any longer in that nasty emergency room. She told me there was just 2 people ahead of me on the list and then I was going to be seen by a doctor. However, I realized she lied to me when there were about 6 – 7 people called after that and I was still waiting.
I ended up leaving without being seen by a doctor. I could tell they weren’t even going to help me anyways. Now I am stuck here hoping Google will help me figure out what’s wrong with me. This emergency room really isn’t organized.

Updating this after having yet more awful encounters with bad staff here. Dr. Roya Dekhordi, if she’s even a doctor, is the most unprofessional, irresponsible, unethical and uncaring Dr. I have ever encountered in my life. She never made it to my room on rounds, discharged me after I had been there for under 2 hrs with a potentially life threatening medical situation for which I had to return to the ER less than an hour later, never even examined me, spoke with me or attempted to learn why I was having severe pain symptoms, then kicked me out of the hospital days later using sarcastic and juvenile tones, clearly upset because I expressed deserved distrust in her abilities to prescribe orders to me. She never even came to my room until my Dr did and until she wanted to bully me about what I was doing in bed less than 2 days after major abdominal surgery that was essentially an emergency. I was never given care or assessment for my condition by her and had to wait until my Dr came on shift to even get treated or seen by someone higher than an RN. There were other issues too, like the sonographer that was making ugly faces about me to coworkers because I was in severe pain and couldn’t lay the way she wanted me to, the night nurse that was constantly sleeping during her shift instead of being attentive to patients and even forgot to bring my pain meds after I asked for them post surgery. I had to call another nurse and was told sleepyhead was on a break. This hospital staff, under the influence of this Dr. Dehkordi, was negligent in their care of me and I’m sure others, when all they really needed to do was bring me food and water, help me manage my pain, and allow me to rest rather than harass me about walking laps after major surgery ripped a hole in my gut, even though I was walking though the excruciating pain, perhaps not as often as they wanted me to? Labor and Delivery is the dept where this despicable treatment went down but IT SEEMS the whole hospital is run in this abysmally unprofessional way, as well. My boyfriend came to meet me at my 2^nd trip here and I was taken via ambulance, and was told by security AND admittance that I was not at Emanuel at all, though none even bothered to check. Good luck to you if you can’t get AMR to take you somewhere else!

We have visited Emanuel several times, every time we visit the emergency room we are helped right away and brought back. Usually the waiting is to get a room upstairs. Staff for the most part is nice. Emanuel has security at every entrance. they weren’t there before, something new. In administration every time we’ve visited there staff is very nice and friendly. Every time my grandmother is been admitted, she’s been taken to the 2^nd floor. Rooms are not that comfortable but staff very attentive, every time there’s a shift change they come in the room introduce the other person and tell them the patient treatment plan and were they stand, all in front of patient. I belive in family support and the hospital should work on something for the families while there loved one is being cared for

This is the 2^nd time in one week my mom has been admitted for heart issues. The staff for coronary care has been exceptional. State of the art beds and to me well equipped nurse to patient ratio. I feel assured that my mom is receiving the best care and I don’t have to worry as much.

Thank you very much Emanuel hospital staff and nurse. I would like to have special thanks to Simone (RN) in Pcu for being so nice to my father. You did take care of him very well. Nurses like Simone are gifted, god bless all of you.

I took my son 2 ER for a severely broken foot. We had been told by urgent care & ER staff. We Were surprised when the 1^st time he was sent home & not hospitalizated. We returned following week & he was seen by a PA Katerina P. She immediately took charge & called Orthopedic Surgeon & explained that he had been released previous week instead of been scheduled 4 surgery. Md agreed & they hospitalized him that day next day he had surgery. My son only 25 yes old & he could have lost his foot but thanks 2 Katherine & her caring he was taken care of and we could never thank her enough 4 not only doing her job but for having a big heart & concern 4 others, she is definitely in the correct profession & i hope she continues her medical schooling because she will make an Excellent doctor.

I can’t believe the way I was treated! I came in with low back and head pain (I know what most of you are thinking but I actually was in pain not just a local junkie looking to sell some pills) I had been there 3 days earlier after a accident that had brought me in by ambulance! First I was triaged in tears I explained the situation and was given a shot and told they were going to do X-​rays and check my pain! When I was brought back to the room I was discharged!!! ??? The doctor never spoke to me and prescribed me the same stuff they gave me prior! I asked to see the doctor and was denied I don’t even know what my X-​rays said! Horrible bedside manor. I work at a hospital and if we treated patients like that we would be canned!

I’d probably choose death over going to Emanuel Hospital. My sister came in with what is most likely a stomach virus. They took a blood sample and said it would be 30 – 45 minutes for the results. After a 2 hour wait, they came out and realized they needed a urine sample too. Welp…

Two stars. I give them because I was very appreciative of how quickly they had my son see (I waited less than 5 minutes).
However, they failed to earn any more stars in every other aspect.
I understand its hard to have a good reputation when you’re working in emergency service, everybody is upset they’re in the ER to begin with. But I didn’t even get to see a doctor, just a nurse practitioner. She was polite, but very uninformative. She’d talk to me for 2 minutes max and disappear for 45 minutes. Meanwhile my poor son was miserable and painful. The medical staff had a good attitude, but were unorganized and not helpful.
Their were two receptionists, one polite and courteous, the other very curt.
I walked in and asked if I should sign in somewhere and she scolded me saying, «no. You should go back that way, sit down and we will call you up». If I don’t announce myself how do you know I’ve arrived? How asinine.
and lastly, cost. This is downright financial rape. I brought my youngest son in 7 months ago after a bad fall. ALL that was done was a dose of Tylenol administered. My bill was $ 900.
Last nights emx my son was given Motrin AND saline, oh lord, it’s going to be well over $ 1,000.
Would I return? Yes, it’s the only emx service facility open on holidays. The medical staff were really good people, truly, but his care was completely subpar.
