Sharp HealthCare

"I went to the emergency room yesterday blood pressure 202 not sure of bottom number, back and neck pain also anxiety was and is really high?. The Dr on staff was really rude! He told me and at the end of my visit that I had come there for nothing, (was It because I am African American)? He said I didn’t look like a person who come to the emergency room a lot! And he was thinking that I looked like I shouldn’t be there! The nurse was in the room with theDr. and I! What did that have to do with me being there with my blood pressure numbers at 202/ not sure of the bottom number! I ask him what should my numbers be to go to hospital, he said 235(top numbers) he did give me a bottom number! Online it said to call ambulance if numbers or 180/120! Wow!!!! So to me that was an indirect way of saying to be almost dead before going! They ran test on my heart my heart was fine. So because my heart looked fine, I wasn’t treated for any of my issues no pain or anxiety meds. When I left my BP had fallen to 77/101 he said I was fine. Wow so I woke this morning (thanks to God) with really bad back pain, anxiety still bad and blood pressure still high and a very high bill coming. Wow! Really! To bad I can’t just change the color of my skin to get proper care and without judgement before even getting to the counter! To get the care that I am paying for! I’m in bad pain, anxiety and high blood pressure and upset about not getting the treated and respect from that morning shift Dr. he will still get paid for not giving proper care because of him judging me before I even got to the counter! WOW! I respect people regardless of the color of there skin or walk of life! I thought doctors had too do the same they took an oath to care for people probably without judgement!? WOW!!!!!!!!"

"Above average care, but not the full Sharp experience as at Sharp Memorial Hospital on Frost St."

"I had an appointment today and I got told to leave because I did not have a face mask. If it is dire, for us to aquire face masks, wouldn't your office or any department have face masks in case of a situation like mine? I feel very discriminated for the fact that I didn't have a face mask. I would understand if I didn't want to wear one but I didn't have any and I asked around the entire building and not one person was able to provide me with one. I will never let my friends or family come here. Wasted a day out of my job."

"I waited in the er for 4 hours to get xrays. The wait time is long and horrible. Updated 10 july 2022 I have since went to them for another visit. I thought I had covid and at the time there wasn't an easy way to get tested. It took me 2hrs for a covid test with symptoms to just be seen. Sharp is undermanned as most places. It is really bad when you have to choose between to horrible companies of scripps or sharp."

"As a parent I want to be with my spouse for support during her doctor exams. OBGYN Dr. Levine’s office discriminates against fathers by not allowing them to come inside during the visit even though we are either fully vaccinated or taking precautions against Covid (temp check, face mask, etc). Fathers/partners should be allowed into doctor visitation if the mother is also ok with it. Fathers have rights also and this office is discriminating against us."
