Community Memorial Hospital: Emergency Room 147 North Brent Street, Ventura, CA 93003

"The ER was crowded. My son has congestive heart failure couldn't walk slurred talking and they wanted to send him home! Because rhe ER was over crowded. Nurse's are rude, over worked, under staffed and human lives are at risk. I told them if he went home and died they'd have one hell of a lawsuit on their hands. Miraculously they were able to admit him finally!"

"I came in yesterday due to a knee injury. I already knew it was not a fracture but it was a possible tear or strain. They only did x-rays told me they don’t do MRI’s when I requested one due to the fact that they only have one machine and they will only do it if it’s life threatening. I understood. I was told by the RN that they were going to prescribe medication and asked what pharmacy. I called the pharmacy and they said they didn’t receive the order. I called CMH ER back was transferred and told me that, that was never recorded and i can just buy it over the counter and was so rude on the phone, and one of the nurses who was there was not the friendliest. I have had good experiences there which is why I went. I will def not go back."

"Omg, can not belive how incredibly unprofessional these people are. I thought I was on MTV punked it was that much of a joke. Always full of criminals and cops. By far one of the worst experiences with a hospital. I'm calling a attorney the neglect was so bad. I sat for 5 hours no one even approached me when they did the rudest most disrespectful group of bitter women on the planet. Horrible energy, atmosphere and zero care for people. Idk maybe cause they deal w criminals all day they just stopped caring."

"I'm disabled. I was able to get a thin blanket but still trying to find a place to sit without the a/c blowing on me as it causes extreme pain. I had a couple people coughing on me or near me. So I found a comfortable place even tho the cold had settled in my bones and muscles. An employee said I was fine and let me stay but a female came over and I explained to her that I am disabled, there are 6 empty spaces, but was met with not only a nasty sharp flippant answer I had security called on me and taken outside. ✨️READ THE OTHER REVIEWS✨️ about how much they care; most don't."

"The care and level of patient service here is abysmal. I came in on a Saturday morning, and the emergency room was almost empty. No patients were waiting and very few were in the examination rooms. They put you in a room and leave you there indefinitely. No one responds to the call button. And if you look for anyone or ask anyone for help, you are met with short, terse replies, and no one ever comes as promised. I had a relatively simple issue and I waited for hours for treatment while the staff was engaging in superficial conversation right outside my room. If there were any other viable options in this area, I would go there. This is the primary example of everything that is wrong with our healthcare system. For the amount of money we spend as a country, we get very mediocre care at best. And at worst you get this."
