MarinHealth Medical Center - Greenbrae (CA)

5 /5 Ronit April Varga: It was a wonderful birth experience for my client. The team of OBS, Midwives, and nurses was beyond amazing. She was able to push for 4 hours, take a break, and then give birth to her baby past the “ hospital pushing time limit.” The rooms are spacious, with an oversized jet tub, yoga ball, peanutball, and incredible views of Mt Tam. You have all you need for a home-feel birth journey. As a doula, I feel welcome and supported by the medical team. I also know that my clients will have the highest support for natural birth possible in a hospital setting. This is the BEST hospital in the Bay Area….

1 /5 Matt Austin: This hospital is run by crooks. I was visiting town when my toddler got a fever. Took him in to be seen. Visit was an hour long. Got some Tylenol paid my copay and on our way. They charged us thousands of dollars. Billed $350 for a dose of Tylenol. Insurance covered some but they are now trying to rob me for thousands of dollars more. These people are monsters. 4 generations of my family were born here. I’ll never go back.

5 /5 Sally Kuhlman: I spent the afternoon in the Emergency Department yesterday (Friday afternoon!) and wanted to give a shoutout to the whole team! From security, to check in, to the nurses, doctors, and technicians everybody was friendly, patient and so supportive. I have to say this was the best ER experience I’ve ever had anywhere. I have spent time in various ER’s with family members throughout the years. This waiting room was clean. Security guards were constantly making the rounds. The medical staff was working hard and fast. They got interrupted when talking to me because it was busy but they stayed focused and came back to address my concerns. I am so grateful that this is my hospital. Thank you.

1 /5 Leslie G: Enter at your own risk. The cardiac dept recently ignored my mother’s DNR (do not resuscitate) order. She is 87 with a long long list of medical problems. None curable or even manageable at this point. After resuscitation they put a pacemaker in …not sure how my mother even approved that yet it happened. Feels like they see a cash flow with her. She was mostly catatonic after the pacemaker. By the time I got to her they had pumped her with some drug to “awaken” her She is not herself and per her durable power of health would not want to live like this. Yet, she is now having to go to long term care without the funds to even pay for it. They are trying to push her out the door. It’s been one unpleasant conversation after another. I’ve tried reaching upper management even board of directors and nothing. Most of the drs I have talked to since this occurred are Appalled and would not have proceeded this way. Too bad we got the Dr / nursing team who just didn’t care. Time to hit the media and lawyer up. So unfortunate that this is how they “care” for patients. Profits over patients should be their motto. Shame shame shame on you. Oh and they can’t even spell her name right on the board in her room. Really?? Do better.

1 /5 Raj Kundra: my uncle recently "received" care for heart related issues. i swear to god the "hospitalist" taking care of him must have been 80 years old and was clueless as to what was going on. the next doctor that took over (had 3 different doctors over the course of 5 days!) was super young and was in and out in less than a minute and told us he didnt have time to talk to us about our concerns. completely rude and no emotion, no empathy. the third doctor took over the day we were discharged and wondered why we were even hospitalized!!! mind you my uncle has dementia and was put in these cruel restraints for 4 straight nights. it was a complete nightmare experience with 0 communication from the "doctors" here who all seemed like temps collecting a paycheck. we are bringing our uncle to UCSF next time. this hospital has gone way downhill since the name changed
