Julia and George Argyros Emergency Department at CHOC Hospital

"This place is absolutely trash my 2 year old was brought in via ambulance with 102.5 fever with symptoms of fiberal seizure they pretty did nothing to help him they watched him for 2 hour and brought us discharge papers and rushed us out the door we made them take his temp again and this time it was 103.5 and they where still happy to push us out the door and when we asked what temp would be unsafe and when we should bring him back they said to just keep an eye on him last year we almost lost him due to the same thing he was on life support for 4 days in the choc picu thanks for nothing choc you have gone down hill lots of malpractice keep on not fighting the good fight"

"Arguros family: this place puts your name to shame. I would not let my name be used a place like this, with such terrible organization. Everyone: avoid this place if you can. It’s terribly packed and only one doctor seems to be evaluated dozens, probably close to a hundred kids. They have 40 beds they said. They said we had to wait on one. We have been here for close to 3 hours. And now they tell us we are actually waiting on the triage doctor to see us. It is so frustrating. It’s not like we are here for free. In fact, a lot of money is being paid for these substandard service and understaffed operation. How can you only have one doctor at the lobby area? How is this not abuse to the doctor? Or negligence to the patients? This place needs to improve. This place is clearly a lawsuits waiting to happen, by doctors or by patients. I will try my best not to come back. I will use other adult emergency rooms."

"Super bad! The front desk is super rude and so so so bad! When I write down this I am still waiting. We wait for more than 3 hours already and when ask how long takes always say a few people ahead of you and so rude looks like if you ask more they gonna fight with you! Super bad emergency room!"

"My son has had a 105 fever for 5 days straight and they said he’s fine and dismissed us!!! Umm we came to the ER for a reason. Well guess what if anything happens to my kid, I will hold Choc reliable for negligence."

"Service from the front did not improve. The waiting time is at least over 3 hrs to able to see a Doctor for 10 minutes. My kid 3 years old with high fever 103.5 to check in with CHOC ER in Orange city and the front nurse give him a medication without any water. I believe everyone knows how sweetness of the reducing medication is, and the baby has to swallow with water after taste. THEN BABY STILL NEED TO SIT THERE WAITING OVER 2 HRS AT THE FRONT LOBBY without any nurse checking on the high fever baby. >>>>>DO NOT RECOMMEND ANYONE COME HERE."
