    I’ve been in this hospital for a few days now I am diabetic and I also have congestive hearth failure. There are good doctors like Dr.Ochoa the other doctors don’t even bother to talk to you about the status of your test or case.. I do have a lot of complaints towards the nurses. they don’t have enough for the quantity of patients that they admit. The nurses are so overwhelmed that have rude attitudes For being a hospital you would think it would be clean you share a room and have more of a risk for covid to spread. im on the 3 floor and I really would like to give a big thank you to those who took the time to make the stay here comfortable. Thank you nurse PARIS Thank you nurse VICTORIA,MAYRA,ALEJANDRO, JAMES.

    Just gave birth here and let me tell you the service was A plus! Will be back the midwives understood the assignment the nurses Zahara she’s Somalian I think was fabulous the midwives all were amazing! I can’t remember the nurses that helped me deliver but Edna and another young lady who is Filipino American as well we’re super helpful during my labor it took 20 minutes because of the way they handled me and taught me how to push. Will definitely definitely be back here and recommend to any natural mother’s that prefer a holistic way of delivery. Also they have low c section rate.

    For almost a year I've been having problems with acid reflux and persistently taking tums and pepcide. Countless trips to other hospitals, doctor visits and no one properly diagnosed me nor did they even go to the extent or length that this outpatient did. after coming here they ran all appropriate tests etc. They really and truly heard my concerns and were very attentitive.I would love to have them as my primary. But it is going to be a waitlust. Come January 2024 I will be making the switch.

    I wish I could give this Hospital 0 stars!!! The worst hospital ever!! This African America lady was supposed to discharged me over an hour ago, and she was literally taking care of this teenager boy been so nice! To him while I’m here waiting for my prescription and medication I should report her! I felt discriminated because I’m a Spanish and she new I been waiting for ever!… but it’s okay… Karma is never too late.

    Gave birth to my son here when it had just opened. I wouldn’t want to have had him anywhere else. It was so extremely clean, had a room to myself, had all the nurses attention and help. They were super helpful. They’re baby friendly which means they support breastfeeding and skin to skin. It was amazing ????

    My mother was admitted, she went to urgent care for her heart problems and the nurse told her before she was called in that her recent symptoms were alike to other patients that were suffering a heart attack. She urged us to go to Emergency rather than waiting 2 hours for Urgent Care, because she would only be admitted to the ER and have to wait 3 more hours to be seen. She ended up staying as an inpatient and recieved good care. She is okay, and she was relieved to find everything to be normal, her medication was just causing her problems but they switched those out for her too. I live a walking distance away from here. It's a very nice hospital, the waits are long but that is because they are backed up with so many patients and possible staff shortages. It's understandable in these times.

    As an RN,I worked in that hospital, patient are totally rude. the manager Charlene of the telemetry floor is so racist toward male specially, I felt discriminated and marginalized. the HR executive Susan burrow was very supportive toward this type of behavior, she totally tolerated Charlene behavior.

    I'm a nurse here. I love my job and this facility. It hurts my heart when someone says nurses are lazy or don't care because I do. I got into nursing after being on the patient side with my grandpa. I know what it's like to be scared, anxious, and need to be informed. With covid and no one allowed in, I know it's hard on families. Some of us will do our best to keep you updated. I hope of your my patient you had a good experience and hopefully I made you laugh and forget about your illness for a moment. Nurses here are doing their best to keep up a good attitude even while we're running on fumes with the surge.

    The group provides excellent medical care. However, call the Compton clinic to make appointments to avoid lengthy waits.

    That was my very first time visiting the emergency room at Martin Luther King, Jr. Community Hospital 5/15/22. The intake nurses at the drop off site for the main entrance to the emergency room was very nice and kind. They took all the information needed and took my vitals signs. Everything was fine and not much longer the nurse took me over to the waiting room to see the doctor. I was called in quickly to see the doctor and given the necessary tests for my swollen feet, legs and thighs for both legs. The doctor and all the medical staff were very nice and kind. They treated me well and I would recommend this emergency room to other people. I had a pleasant experience here.

    This is a decent hospital but definitely not the best. The emergency area is horrible. The nurses can be a bit unprofessional when all you want is to get properly helped. They kinda just treat you like trash and make you wait so long to load you with drugs and make you go on with your day. I gave birth to my baby boy here what I can say is this hospital is way better than St. Francis. I didn’t like that they kept trying to send me home while I had bad labor contractions and was 4-5 centimeters dilated. I did love how the nurses treated me. I had my baby New Year’s Eve and they were so nice brought me and my fiancé goodies. Apple cider and some fancy fruit it was a nice gesture. What I did not like is usually hospitals give you a 6 pack of formula bottles to feed when you need to but they would give me one at a time and when I would ask for them they’d deny it or take a really long time.

    I took my mom to the ER last Saturday night due to CHF symptoms that put her in an at risk situation. We stayed in an ER room for over 12 hours before they actually admitted her to a room. She went to a single room on 5N which was really great. They moved her to another room on the same floor which made me give this review a 2. The night nurses took forever coming to change her due to the Pure Wick not being placed correctly so she had to be in urine all night 2x. This is unacceptable in a hospital.

    Medical Staff from Emergency to Labor and Delivery were fast acting and has great communication skills. The Labor and Delivery staff are respectful, patient, kind, and considerate. The Room and Bathroom was very spacious, comfortable, and clean. The 48 hour care I received was awesome. Great Hospital to Deliver a Baby. I had a Grateful experience. Amazing Place.

    This hospital is amazing. I gave birth 2 my daughter here almost 3 years ago. They were so caring and professional, they give you answers and information you need to know. I was so happy with my experience, I registered for my other baby. At first I was scared because we're in a pandemic but they made sure I was taken care off and they took extra.measures to be safe in this pandemic. Patient, encouraging, caring, professional.They we're very loving and careful with my new baby. I always come here for emergencies too. Thank you MLK ❤

    I came in because I have ITP told the doctors and nurses and they wanted to do all these tests that were not related to my visit. I didn’t receive any help I had asked several nurses and 2 doctors for some Benadryl took them 5 hours to get me some. Unprofessional staff nurses cut you off while your trying to explain what’s wrong doctors act like they know everything. They moved me out of my room and put me in the hall way while still receiving medication via iv total violation of HIPPA refused to help me when I press the call light the nurse would come in my room turn it off and walk away with out asking what I needed. I’m a CNA and I can say that they don’t know what they’re doing here or how to treat patients. Don’t come here unless you want a fat bill because all they care about is running money out of your pockets instead of actually trying to help you get better. I told them I was ready to go home because the doctor was refusing to listen to me about my care plan and they tried to make me sign a AMA California has some of the worst health care

    Security guard at the emergency department check in point was very professional, respectful, and understanding. Mr. Soriano is one of the best security officers I’ve ever seen. He definitely has it right. He is the first face you see in the first point of contact very important that you grade it properly because if not right there and then you walk away. He will be the only reason why I decide to give a second chance to this hospital. I saw him handle a young lady who was either on drugs, or God knows what was wrong with her. What I do know is Mr. Soriano handled it properly kept his cool, never raise his voice and kept a professional. I applaud you, sir.

    Today I had my first prenatal appointment scheduled for 9AM. As I am pulling up to park, I receive a phone call from the office stating my appointment was at 8 and I cant come in at 9 due to there being an existing appointment. Now when I booked the appointment I was clearly and distinctively scheduled for 9 AM. I would not have accepted an 8 AM appointment because I drop my daughter off at 8.. 7:45 being the earliest. With it being the first appointment I was advised to come in about 15 minutes early at 8:45 to get a head start. Additionally I wrote the time and date in my planner as the woman was relaying the info to me during the appointment scheduling. So apparently they double booked and refuse to be adult and honest about the mistake they blame me , having me reschedule most likely because whoever the other appointment was for they showed up first so they called me to cancel my appointment or maybe a walk in that had been waiting. But this is what is to be expected from you ignorant people in the medical field. I will be calling to speak with a supervisor to find out who is responsible for changing my appointment.

  • 1/5 vincent c. 2 years ago on Google
    I was told to go here by my therapist to get medicine, and have'nt ever had a harder time getting a refill since ive changed my medical provider. my first visit was horrible, two nurses wendy and christina kept asking me what medication i was on and i told them its a private matter and they threatened to refuse my services for trying to keep my information private and with the doctor. Then as i tried to leave security surrounded me and tried restraining me to keep me there. I then noticed i was followed home by them. It was very unproffesional and they should be sued for trying to entrap patients, and embarassing people like that.Change your medical provider and keep an eye on the security because they are crooks and shouldnt get away with things like that.

    I came on a Sunday to urgent care and there was a waiting line to get checked in (staff were in lunch) however the lady in the front did everything to go as fast as possible and get everyone in the system. The waiting time was relatively shorter than what I would’ve waited at Harbor UCLA. I was there for 2 hours. Everyone was friendly and helpful. Doctor Chen was amazing and charismatic. I loved my experience. Thankful my father recommended me to go here instead of Harbor.

    I am absolutely disgusted with this hospital! I went 3 times and they pretty much put me out with 102 temperature not only that I caught an infection that set off my arthritis which I haven’t had problems in years it was lent just one doctor it was a few and they were ok and went about there business like I didn’t even matter that was the last piece of trust I had going through what I’ve been going through it reminded that people are being treated like animals and our lives don’t matter so my hats off to those who absolutely helped make my situation a nightmare. I’m glad you guys felt that was the best treatment for me was to make it worse……… that’s all I’m gonna say……. Disgusting!

    If you plan to have your baby here please be strict on your birth plan. These nurses and midwives are so unprofessional. They just jam their hands in you to check your cervix without even asking permission, try to leave you strapped to the bed and IV. Try to scare you saying your baby’s heart rate is dropping. Cut umbilical cord after requesting delayed clamping. Try to scare you into vaccines. Give you a hard time about taking your placenta home. In and out of your room all night while you and your new born are trying to rest to give your baby “shots” and check your blood pressure. Get mad and harass you when you refuse the shots and tests. Just so inconsiderate. The best part about my experience was the Lactation specialist by the name of Lily who helped me so much with breast feeding and was always on call for me

    I showed up around 2pm and didn't know what to expect. I was bracing myself for the worst and once I found the ER, I thought that I had been misdirected into the Los Angels county jail. My wife had to wait outside in a tent for security reasons and I had to be hand wanded before I could be processed in and allowed to sit and wait in the lobby. I had gone to my regular Dr. earlier but his office had reached its limit of patients for the day. Since two nights before I had been suffering from lower abdominal pains, so I decided to go see my personal Dr. And when that fell through, I looked up MLK. Surprisingly the reviews where mixed, I personally like to give people the benefit of the doubt so I usually read the positive reviews first. Lol. And people were writing about some of the positive changes that MLK had gone through, they seemed pretty convincing considering the physical state I was in. And if you read one of my previous reviews on another urgent care establishment in the city of Downey, you'll find out why I didn't go there. Anyway, back to my review. My first impression was definitely something like "what the hell did I just get myself into!" There was a young gentleman that was pacing back and forth, talking with an angered voice, making comments about the staff. I do not know what exactly his story was but most definitely impressive to see the MLK security team in action. They quickly took the guy aside and talked him down. I could hear some of what they were saying to him, tactics like "sir, anger is going to get you nowhere, but if you calm down and talk to us maybe we can help you." I was truly surprised. Is this the same MLK that I had heard stories about growing up. That people would die waiting in the lobby because of gun shot wounds. Lol. Maybe exaggerations but those are some of the stories that would circulate about killer King, as it had been known back in the days. After that incident, my perception started to change. I was promptly seen by a nurse who took my vitals and before I was done with her, I was already being called into another room to have some blood taken for lab analysis. Once I was done with having blood drawn, not even two minutes passed when the Doctor called me into his office. I explained to him what I was feeling and gave him some insight into my medical history. He explained to me what was to be done to figure out what was wrong with me. Then sent me to the part of the ER where patients were placed in gurneys and given their own partition. I was received by an RN by the name of Chantilly. She was friendly and very nice. She said that the Doctor requested a urine sample and told me that once the results of the lab analysis came back that the Doctor would see me again. I waiting no more than 30 minutes before the Doctor came back with word from the lab. They gave me some medication and another one of the Registered Nurses there explained how I was to use the prescribed medication at home. I left there dumbfounded. I could not believe how prompt I had been treated... not only that but the level of courtesy and care that I had been given was awesome. Everyone there looked busy, no one was just standing around doing nothing. If I had to use one word to sum up my experience with, I'd have to say efficient. Yes, I know. I'm laying all my business out here, but I like to give credit where credit is due. And in my opinion, this hospital is finally starting to live up to the great name that it bears.

    I have never had any complaints about this hospital. In January of 2018 I came because I was pregnant, they did everything they could to save my baby. Everyone was so attentive and concerned. I stayed in the hospital for 4 days. Tiffany (she was from Atlanta) is a nurse I will always remember. She was gentle and very carrying. I also remember the CNA Lanelle who wrote her number on the board if I ever needed anything. The doctor was very carrying as well. Anytime I'm not feeling well this will always be my first choice when getting better. Thank you MLK Community Hospital for being apart of this community!

    New Clean Hospital. Pharmacy lines are long but reliable most probably people are waiting for Covid 19 Vaccines and all other prescription medications when they leave emergency or hospital premises discharge with Doctor instructions and Medications to improve and cure the patients. Calls from outside for medications are processed filled and fulfilled for most of medications except narcotics. PRZED.

    I mean, it's a medical facility. I was sick and now I'm not so I guess the job got done but the experience wasn't pleasant. Most of the staff was pleasant but the wait to get seen buy anyone that did anything besides take my vitals was ridiculous. I almost left before getting seen by a doctor, which I actually never did. I got admitted overnight and released the next day. I only got to see a m.d. on my follow up visit and that was quick and pleasant.

    I've been here on 2 different occasions. And I must say that the STAFF. Are ABOVE AVERAGE, FRIENDLY, WARM OPEN AND INVITING. I GREW up 2 blocks away and from the 90s until now. It has made such a major impact in this Area. Fast effective, efficient service. While waiting you will have your vitals ran, height, weight, blood drawn. So when it's time to see the doctor everything has already been taken care of and they'll be moving on to treatment. All staff are Top tier in Professional. I don't have 1 bad thing to say about this hospital, It's a FUBU HOSPITAL. For US by US.

    Gave beginning to my son right here when it had simply opened. I wouldn’t want to have had him everywhere else. It was so extremely clean, had a room to myself, had all of the nurses attention and help. They were outstanding useful. They’re baby friendly this means that they assist breastfeeding and pores and skin to pores and skin. It become extremely good 🤱🏻👶🏻

    Went to urgent care because I had an ear clogged and couldn’t make it go away, at 4pm and got out at almost 9pm. Not so bad but they had me waiting in a room for almost 2 hours to be seen only for 2 mins. I’m considering on never going back because the waiting time is ridiculously long...

    I really love the dedication and commitment each staff gives to the patients. I pray they open a children's hospital here, my experience for my child was very helpful and pleasant. They treat from the heart and it shows! Thank you so very much. God bless you all❤🙏 On another note whoever they hire their security from should train their officers better. They allowed smoking next to the entrance and did nothing to provide a safe environment for the the sick while waiting to be admitted.

    The worse experience after my visit with Endocrinologist I was told to call in the doctor to discuss any issues about the new medication. When I call no one seems to care about what's going on. I'm diabetic after 32 years I had to change medication and these people don't care if you get the right medication or not. No way to speak with the doctor and when I told the clerk to please let the doctor knows about the issues or to call me to an specific phone number they just don't want to change any info on profile. She kept saying doctor will call you at the phone listed on your profile even though I said I'm not able to pick up that phone when I'm working so please call me at my work number. She replied Doctor will call you at the phone listed on profile.

    This is a review for the psychiatry department ! I found this place while on Medi-Cal in search of a new psychiatrist, I am soon switching to a PPO and will definitely be staying with MLKCH. I’m really grateful I was able to find such an incredible provider on Medi-Cal, options can feel very limited. I’m an adult with severe ADHD who was considering pursing treatment again after nearly 20 years but was feeling nervous. I came to MLKCH after having an awful experience with a psychiatrist elsewhere. When calling to get set up- there was practically no hold times, everyone was so nice, and they got me in very quickly- I think it was two weeks compared to most places being over a month. They also offer virtual appointments which I love. The doctor I got booked with is Dr. Tashkandi. This guy is absolutely amazing !!!! The last psychiatrist I had really rushed things, didn’t take a proper history, etc - I really felt like a number. Unfortunately I think that can be a pretty common experience with psychiatrists since they are mostly managing meds. Dr. Tashkandi however was incredibly thorough, caring and attentive- asking lots of questions to really personalize my treatment and make sure we were doing what would be best for me. I have some complicated concurrent medical conditions, which he was very knowledgeable about and took into consideration when discussing treatment. He explained truly every option- really giving me agency to make my own health decisions while giving me all the info I needed to do so. He eased my concerns and answered all my questions. His team is also really on top of things! I had an issue with getting ahold of records from another facility- they were very efficient and helpful in getting ahold of those. After appointments, they call in any needed medications right away and promptly schedule follow ups. Really the best experience all around !

    Martin Luther King, Jr. Community Hospital - MLKCH Is it true that You sent a Black woman home this evening. She sat in your emergency room with a confirmed ectopic pregnancy with twins?’ I won’t list the ways your negligence contributes to the ongoing attack on Black Lives. But I will say you need to call her back and provide her with the care and services required immediately. So I ask folx to share this post. Comment on their page. Comment on their pictures as they have disabled the comments. We often discuss how hospitals are killing Black women in labor but rarely how they are sterilizing us. And ectopic pregnancies are often mishandled with Black women and leave us sterile and traumatized. Fix it. Now.

    I was recently admitted to the hospital from the ER for about 6 days to have gallbladder surgery. I can’t thank this team enough. Knowing all the patients they have, it’s very telling that I always felt like I was the only one with how attentive they were to my needs. Shout out to all the nurses and doctors that I spoke to. Especially my AMAZING surgeon Dr. Gbegnon. Instead of taking a short cut in my surgery that would’ve left me with a longer recovery time, she took the longer way to benefit me. I’m so grateful to have been taken care of by such a wonderful team. If I ever have to make my way back to the hospital, at least I’ll know I’m in good hands.

    We needed the antibody infusion as a result of Covid positive test. We were directed MLK Community Hospital. We arrived and the first person we meet was exceptional and very professional, brought us to a triage area and they began the infusion process immediately. The nurses and doctors were very kind and professional. A fabulous experience.

    It’s a good hospital but lacks organization. I checked in seen the Dr and I should had been out shortly after that. I waited 4 hours to be discharged and if it’s not that asked I could had been there another hour. When a hospital is busy I expect 3 -4 hour wait but some people are seen sooner than others and they should be out as accordingly but they’re not. I seen people being discharged that got there two hours later than me and I it was because they were asking so then I decided to ask too and only like that you are heard and let go. Silvia from ER is the best she’s moving and getting things done 👏

    The 3 stars is me being generous because of the fantastic staff. They could have gotten 5 stars except that the final nurse that attended to me ruined it. I spent a total of 6 hours when I could have been done in 3. The first 2 and half hours went efficiently and smoothly with the splendid health care workers, but the remaining hours was spent with an RN that just didn't care. Sat for 3 and half hours waiting to be discharged. I had to refuse drip because she didn't seem to know how to put an IV in and I was scared of being stabbed multiple times to no avail. At the end of the day, she ended up giving me wrong discharge documentation which is contrary to what the doctor told me about my condition and what I saw on the ultrasound. That was really scary but my faith didn't make me have panic attack but I'd have to go to another hospital. Health care job should be for people who truly care.

    (Translated by Google) For my very bad daughter, they want me to take her on fever, to do exams, otherwise for them, La Niña is fine, when I edit the fever percentage and the days that it is cooked like this, for children a lousy service, just ibuprofen want to give, for not doing the tests, and my daughter with infection (Original) Para mi hija muy malo, quieren que la lleve encendida en fiebre, para hacer exámenes, de lo contrario para ellos, La Niña está bien, cuando les edicho el porcentaje de fiebre y los días que astado así, para niños un pésimo servicio,solo ibuprofen quieren dar, por no hacer los exámenes, y mi hija con infección

    (Translated by Google) DO NOT USE THESE SERVICES. What a lousy service, they are treating sick people not an object. My experience: They called my father on the phone for an appointment at 12:15 pm. We arrived at the clinic at 11:45 am. To check in, the lady at the reception did not say good morning or anything, it seems that she does not know basic education. I gave my father's information to the receptionist to register him and he replied “his dad had his appointment at 11:15 am. They can't serve him anymore ”And I answered no, when they called they had left the appointment at 12:15 pm. And that we were on time for the appointment, if the answer was: "no, the specialist has a meeting and cannot attend them, if they want I can change the appointment for next week". In short, I lost my work day because of them, for not knowing how to coordinate appointment times and obviously my father cannot come alone. My father is sick, for them it is easy to say: "we will take care of it next week", I seriously plan to speak with the insurer that my father is paying to change it as soon as possible of these disastrous clinics. (Original) NO USEN ESTOS SERVICIOS. Que pésimo servicio, están tratando a personas enfermas no a un objeto. Mi experiencia: le llamaron por teléfono a mi padre para una cita a las 12:15pm. Llegamos a la clínica a la11:45am. Para hacer el check in, la señorita de la recepción ni dijo buenos días ni nada, pareciera que no conoce la educación básica. Le di los datos de mi padre a la recepcionista para registrarlo y me contestó “su papá tenía su cita a las 11:15am. Ya no lo pueden atender” Y yo le contesté que no, cuando llamaron le habían dejado la cita a las 12:15pm. Y que estábamos a tiempo para la cita, si respuesta fue: “no, el especialista tiene junta y no los puede atender, si quieren les puedo cambiar la cita para la próxima semana”. En resumen, perdí mi día de trabajo por culpa de ellos, por no saber coordinar los horarios de las citas y obviamente mi padre no puede venir solo. Mi padre está enfermo, para ellos es fácil decir: “lo atendemos la próxima semana”, pienso seriamente hablar con la aseguradora que mi padre está pagando para cambiarlo lo antes posible de estas nefastas clínicas.

    My parent was hospitalized due to a seizure and dehydration. My parent stayed over night and he called me the next morning telling me no nurse came to help him in the night to use the restroom or providing him water when he would push the nurse help button. My parent had to wait till the morning for someone to help. If you have an elderly parent who can’t advocate for themselves I would suggest you stay away from this hospital or stay over night and request to speak to a supervisor to demand to stay over night with them.

    After hearing so much negativity, I was admitted into the emergency room I was scared to just be there , But the Er was quick with me the doctor was super comprehensive Me I could hardly talk or anything Lastly I was admitted and stayed 3 days/nights at the hospital I got sent to the 7Th floor I got the best comprehensive trustworthy nurse by the name Roccel she made my worries go away made me feel so comfortable there lastly calming me down and letting me know everything was going to be okay it’s so hard to get nurses this kind . Thank you Roccel for all ur time and effort while I was there ! More nurses like you please 🙏 -Daisy .

    I’ve only been coming here for a few months,but in my experience at hospitals if it wasn’t for the nurses here I don’t think I could keep coming back here!!!The doctors are questionable be warned if you look a certain way the doctors will automatically judge u you by your looks.But otherwise the nurses I dealt with were awesome !!!!!!

  • 1/5 elaine p. 3 years ago on Google
    This is the worst hospital to leave a family member when you can’t be there with them. The nurses are lazy and don’t want to do their jobs so they will lie and say the person is incoherent just so they don’t have to take time to let you talk to your family member. This happened to me after my sister was taken to this hospital by ambulance because see couldn’t walk and she was feeling sick. She was at Martin Luther King 2 days incoherent they said and was transferred to Ronald Regan UCLA Medical Center where the nurse was so nice and took time to tell me that after the doctors ran test to find out just what is going on they will call me. Then she let me talk to my sister who did in no way sound incoherent. If you ask me the nurses are incompetent, lazy, liars at Martin Luther King Hospital

    Went to the ER in January 2022 for palpitations. There’s no room for patients, so i was placed in some cubicle, doctor asked me a few questions, did x rays and blood pressure, blood work, then let me go saying i was fine. They recently billed me 16 thousand dollars! That’s outrageous! and even if I’m covered, That’s overcharging just for a visit to the ER! Thanks but no thanks!

    Came into the ER on 1-18-24 for stomach pain , service is very poor , I cannot recall the Doctors name but he was very annoyed and seemed really careless , the nurse that took out my blood was also rude, I have a fear with needles and when I saw they were going to take blood I asked how many tubes and she proceeded to say “A lot we are in a ER” keep in mind i have a fear of needles. This nurse did not ask once if I was okay or how I was doing . The nurses need to do better at comforting their patients not just rushing to get them done with . This nurse ended up going to break and a male nurse came and covered for her , he was WAAAAYYY more concerned, nice and gentle . MLKH please do better when treating patients, keep in mind people come here for help not to be mistreated .

    Deepest gratitude to doctor Villanueva, nurse Theresa/Teresa, the EKG technician , respiratory therapist, registration/intake staff, support staff, security, valet🙏🏽❤️ Brought my mom into ER on a rainy January 2nd morning who suffers from COPD & had been exposed to Covid over Christmas holiday💔. From beginning interaction with Security who saw the bad shape we were in, to the very end with nurse Theresa/Teresa & Dr Villanueva was so grateful MLKCH was an available & best option❤️ Very grateful for their care & patience🙏🏽✨..... Wishing good health, peace & abundant blessings to all the staff❤️. Thank you! Tamara on behalf of my mother Janice Dawson🙏🏽
