P V This hospital is the worse hospital in the Bay Area. The emergency room wait times are ridiculous! A family member went in with difficulty breathing and chest pains and the wait time to get a room was 3 hours.Also they make the family of loves ones wait outside in the cold. This hospital is overrated and needs to be fix.

Kimberly Ross Shameful... My dad has Stage 4 Cancer and is 81 years old. He goes in several times to Stanford a month for shots and tests. It should be noted, that despite his age and diagnosis my father is still able bodied (at this point). The hospital parking lot has roughly 20 handicapped spots per deck. He has to arrive 30 minutes early in order to find a parking spot and follow people in order to do so. The parking is charged. There is nobody in the four level parking lot to help patients find their way, parking tickets, taxis, push wheelchairs etc. There might be one cart for the four levels. The elevator is not working. He had to walk four flights of stairs to get to the top level then walk a football field to get to the front of the 300 building. The names of the departments are not listed in a way which are easy to read. My father was needing a PET/CT which for anyone curious is labeled as "Nuclear Medicine" words which were no where on his appointment details. When asked how many PET scans the nurse gave per day she said, "60"... While my father has received a PET scan prior and therefore was aware of the after-instructions, he was not told anything this time around, which includes what is necessary to both flush out radio-active toxins and not contaminate your loved ones. When leaving no one informed my dad that he could pay at the exit but instead was told to pay at the kiosk which is directly in the sun and nearly impossible to read. It was not working. No valet service was offered and there is no wifi in the parking lot... I could just keep writing and writing... am I grateful my father is getting care for his cancer? 100 percent yes (he is one of the very fortunate ones) but is this acceptable? Absolutely not. We must demand more... We just must... Its disgraceful. "The true measure of any society can be found in how it treats its most vulnerable members." Gandhi
