    Preamble: all the 5 star reviews are because “Bruce lee was born here”. What does that have to do with the quality of care and staff? The worst experience ever at a hospital. Mother in-law checked herself in because they speak Chinese and are located downtown. Doctors were extremely unprofessional, very pushy and recommended a kidney surgery that afterwards multiple second opinions (one from UCSF) suggested was not necessary. Got into an actual argument with a nurse when we asked for more transparency into the lab results because no one was communicating with the family on her status. The doctor performing the surgery seemed apathetic to sharing the results of the surgery. I would absolutely NOT push this hospital upon my worst enemy, for even that is too cruel. 0/10 stars, this hospital should be evaluated by the BBB or the medical equivalent.

    Bruce Lee History: On November 27, 1940, Bruce Lee was born here. I was asked by the security what I was there for, and he kindly pointed to the plaque. I can't speak for the services this place provides, but it continues to serve the community, throughout all earthquakes and other issues SF has faced.

    Warning - BILLING PRACTICES VIOLATE FEDERAL REGULATIONS - After all of the 2021 publicity about the COVID vaccine being covered by your insurance, the Chinese Hospital is still trying to get me to pay them $80 per shot for the initial COVID vaccine received in 2021. My health insurance plan immediately paid them $40, but Chinese Hospital is claiming that I personally own them another $80 on top of that. I call my health insurance, who assured me that they legally can't force me to pay, but there really isn't anything that can be done to avoid the billing. The advise from my health insurance is to just not pay them and hope they drop it. Ridiculous that their billing department can't get on the same page as every news story published for like an entire year.

    Might want to be clear with the hospital to NOT send your information to fake bill creditors. It’s two years and I’m still getting fake medical bills from a company called EMBCC. Not sure if they sell patient information or did not anticipate me coming back with my insurance information the next day after visiting the ER

    My overall review of Chinese Hospital is 2 stars but I have individual reviews for each dept. Pharmacy in SF: Zero stars It's like waiting at the DMV. Staff are curt due to high volume of customers and staff burn out. Pharmacists do not have time to speak to you. Pharmacy usually do not have time to write the medication directions in Chinese which leads to problems for those who do not read English. Pharmacy in Daly City: 4 stars Minus one star because you have to do your own calling to your prescribing physicians for refills. Pharmacy only sends a fax and if your clinician is non-response, then you have to call your doctors office. The pharmacy closes 30 mins prior to the printed office hours. Blood draw in SF: 4 stars Long wait times due to high volume of patients. The phlebotomists here are more skilled than those at LabCorp or Quest. Blood draw in Daly City: 5 stars They use Quest specimen bags. Do they outsource to Quest? Imaging (x-ray, ultrasound, etc): 5 stars (SF & Daly City) Primary Care clinic at Daly City: 2 stars The front office staff are incompetent. The appointments are rushed due to the limited time the clinicians have with their patients. Blame the system, not the doctors. I do not recommend this primary care clinic. Medical Records (SF): 5 stars A very kind women works here. Her office is the size of a janitors closet. No windows. Billing Dept: 1 star They do not bill the correct insurance. They also send me other people's bills to my address. Emergency Dept (ED): 3 stars There is no triage nurse at the lobby. You check-in with the clerk and wait in the lobby. I think there were less than a dozen patient rooms in this dept. This ED is small and has limited capacity. Don't expect immediate assistance if you're walking in with stroke symptoms or moderate bleeding. There are horror stories of patients dying in the lobby waiting area. Best to arrive by ambulance. In-patient hospital stay: 2 stars This hospital is marginally better than Seton in Daly City, but still is at the bottom of my list of preferred hospitals in this area. I'm not impressed by the quality of care. I've brought up the medical errors I noticed and the nurses were not interested in making corrections. The floor nurse did notify her nurse manager via phone and was relayed to inform me that they are short-staffed and they are doing the best they can. By the time my elderly family member was discharged home, she was no longer able to walk because she was not allowed to get out of bed to walk during the hospitalization. Additionally, there were no nursing staff willing to help with ambulating to the toilet, or allow transferring out of bed and onto a chair. The staff would willfully assist after family members escalate the issues up the chain of command. I think this organization is a mess and it lacks leadership. There is no compassionate care at this facility. The room size is comparable to other hospitals. They serve American food; sometimes they have Chinese porridge.

    I went to the hospital for intense back pain that wasn't relieved by oral medication. When I went to the emergency room, they took a long time to attend to me, and a doctor approached me saying that because I had anxiety, they couldn't give me any injections. They insisted I go home with oral medication, despite me telling them it wasn't working and that one of the medications was causing urinary retention. They didn't care and left me talking to myself. NEVER GO TO THIS HOSPITAL, IT'S DISCRIMINATORY AND THEY DON'T PROVIDE COMPLETE INFORMATION.

    I went for an annual physical exam here. I got a large bill following routine bloodwork checking for everything that is covered under an annual physical. I had to go back and forth with calls to them and my insurance several times to convince them that I had not asked for "extra tests" and each of my tests were supposed to be covered. Although my bill was corrected eventually, it was a big waste of time and they weren't apologetic.

    And the staff was not very friendly. If I told her I am relative of Bruce Lee and maybe she will treat me with respect? ( rolling my eyes). This is not China. I believe everyone is treated with respect. People are people. I don't give a fig about the fact that Bruce Lee was born at this Chinese Hospital.

    I recently spent two days in a Chinese hospital. I sincerely feel that this hospital has changed a lot. Not only are the hospital‘s equipment brand-new and complete, but the medical staff also provide first-class services with a sincere, enthusiastic and considerate attitude. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the outstanding urologist Dr. Jin Wenwu and all the medical staff. thank you all.

    The entire staff was so kind and helpful, everyone made me feel very safe and I was very well taken care of. They were quick, efficient, and exceptionally compassionate! Would 100% recommend in any hospital situation.

    Doctor refused to help saying their shift is about to get over! Waited 50 mins in the ER before anyone could help.

    This is a shyster establishment preying on Chinese who are not conversant in English and unaware of their consumer rights. Given the propensity of regulations in San Francisco, it is surprising that it is allowed to operate.

    Dr. Jennier Chen is very knowledgable and caring-she is a gem.I am 72 years old with lots of problem and has seen many health care professionals. I have found her to be epitome of care.

    Be warned about this provider. The staff has no compassion for patients and nudge patients to leave the facility for their financial gain. The doctors and nurses even told my sister NOT to come back if she has a medical episode because it is a strain on their resources. I am in awe how this facility can still be in operations. I am filing a complaint and will continue to advocate for patients without a voice. DO NOT EVER go to this facility.
