San Joaquin General Hospital Emergency Room - French Camp (CA)

1 /5 rjb6422: Wish I Could Give Zero Stars I brought my mom here at 3:00 PM, and it’s now 7:59 PM—we’re still waiting. The nurses are doing their best, but the real issue lies with upper management and the system itself. This level of inefficiency is unacceptable, and it’s clear that no one is stepping up to fix it. Frankly, I’ve lost faith in the people responsible for these decisions. There is too much to say here but no one cares.

2 /5 Eduardo Cortez: While some of the staff were kind and helpful, I couldn’t ignore how uncoordinated most of them seemed. I visited the ER for extreme dehydration, and I could feel my condition worsening by the hour. My body was struggling, and inside the ER, I could barely coordinate myself, sit upright, or think clearly as my cognition deteriorated rapidly. I repeatedly voiced concerns about my dehydration, which continued to worsen, yet I was denied water and did not receive IV fluids for several hours. The lack of urgency from the staff was troubling, and I felt that some of the nurses did not take my condition seriously. At one point, a nurse either drew blood or applied an IV but left the tourniquet tightly on my arm for an extended period. I only realized this much later when another nurse discovered it and corrected the mistake. While I understand that they couldn’t give me water right away, I would have appreciated more concern and attentiveness from the staff. I hold great respect for nurses, having spent time in many hospital environments due to my family’s medical history, but I have never witnessed anything like this before. I don’t want to place blame on the nursing staff or doctors specifically. Instead, I believe this hospital needs to focus on improving its systems and enforcing stronger ethical standards to ensure better patient care.

1 /5 nb barrz: I will definitely think about it twice before coming here again. Came with a hurt knee that I know isnt broken for them to do an Xray to tell me it isnt ( I already knew that) and thats all, asked to see my regular doctor to see if I need a MRI, I asked if they could just do it here since Im in pain and cant really walk and the doctor said "we dont do that here, its the emergency room and we only do it to patients that have a back injury" and something else cant recal,. So you do do it or you dont? I left this hospital exactly the same way that I came in which should never happen in my opinion. Waisted my time and theirs. The only good thing was my nurse that took me to the Xray, she is awesome and so helpful, I regret not getting her name, other than that this place is trash.

1 /5 M Gomez: Let me save you time. If you have something that is not obvious they will not help you, just run some preliminary testing and send you home saying you seem fine. So dont waste your precious minutes here if you think you have an emergency. I had debilitating anemia from a GI bleed that left me feeling the weakest I have ever felt in my life, I lost 8 pounds in less than a week from the lack of appetite. I tried telling them that I had blood work results from earlier this week, so I wanted to show them and compare to see if it had gotten worse, and they said yeah well look at it later. I also told them I was worried because had blood in my stool and they said okay well check for hemorrhoids and they never did that either, just took blood samples and ekg... After what little testing they did they I waited patiently, until they called me in and just gave me discharge papers telling me Im young so I should be healthy and I seem fine even though I was physically the worst I have ever felt in my life and obviously not fine... what the hell... Also, while I was waiting and needed to go pee, a homeless person took over the sink in the restroom for at least 30 minutes to wash himself with rags. How insane that I was unable to wash my hands in a HOSPITAL with a bunch of sick people because of this.

1 /5 Holly Yager: If you or any of your loved ones ever need surgery or care please do not go to San Jauquin General it was a nightmare they shoved 4 people to a room they couldnt get my wheel chair in it was so cramped, good thing there wasnt a fire I wouldnt have made it out, the food was so nasty I didnt eat anything except a muffin a fruit bowl and a dinner roll for 3 days. My call button didnt work which i told countless nurses they finally gave me a desk bell on my last night which they mostly ignored or couldnt hear, the machine alarms beeped for hours, everyone in my room including me moaning in pain all night and one lady sounded possessed so instead of giving her better care after 2 days they gave us ear plugs,my bed was next to the door so every time it opened the door hit my bed and hurt my broken leg. Oh and I had to go to the Jackson ER the same night I was released because I already had a fever,which I told the San Juaquin nurses about and nothing was done thank God for Jackson ER they gave me proper care and antibiotics. My leg was hot to the touch. Oh and its was nasty dirty in there carpets all stained trash overflowing. The more I think the worse it gets
