Community Regional Medical Center

My boyfriend had the best patient care 11/​13/​2015 — 12÷10÷15 I can’t thank enough for what all the nurses and the hospital has done for us but first before all this thank u lord for watching over him because of ur blessings he is alive and here because I couldn’t live without him. thanx to the «burn center ICU» u guys are the best God bless

This place is terrible! The ER staff are rude & condescending thru & thru! I brought my young daughter here battered & beaten and with no solace the staff was not caring whatsoever. Disgusting, I felt as though we were in a 3^rd world country. I immediately left and went to Clovis community medical center. Spot on correct decision, thank you all at CCMC ER. It’s amazing these two establishments are affiliated!

This place is terrible the whole hospital is full the people are lined up in the car doors in the hallways in the emergency room and it is a crazy crazy crazy place I don’t know how the county of Fresno gave permission to close VMC they should have never closed VmC hospital this is a very very very very bad place then man handled my brother today with the security a sick man and threw him out of the hospital if there’s a lawyer or somebody that can help him please call him at 559−270−2229 its a million dollar lawsuit thank you and God bless to anybody that goes there I wouldn’t want my worst enemy to go to this place under running commercials every 5 minutes because their CEO got in trouble for hitting his girlfriend in the head with a cell phone to patch it up with the community

If you need to go to the emergency do not come here it sucks so bad and your almost guaranteed to not get fixed and to spend the minimum of atleat 9+ house waiting in this place.

worst ER service ever, i get that there is a lot of people but that doesn’t justify their attitude towards a person crying in pain. It looks like most of the RNs are just here for the money and just look at patients like objects.

Not bad but the ER was rather disappointing. We waited forever and then got lousy service by very cranky staff members.

I wish I could give this place less than one star.
I can’t tell you the horrible ER services that my parents, aunts and uncles, have been subjected to. Several of them stayed DAYS, you read it right, D-​A-​Y-​S in the HALLWAY OF THE ER!!! Are you flipping kidding me? And don’t get me started on the lock down procedures… The security guards are a-​holes there. My dad (my mother’s care taker) was prohibited entry to see my mom when she is was in the ER, dazed and confused and not able to talk for herself. But he was expected to come back 5 hours later. All because there were too many idiot prisoners were in the ER. Screw them. They get better service than other patients.
I hate this frigging hospital with so much passion. The only saving grace for this hospital are SOME of the nurses. Not all of them. Some of them. The nurses we have encountered have be amazing. They deserve a better facility than this place.

My mom had a minor surgery here and when I went to visit I was disgusted. The hospital looked nice on the outside and even the halls and lobby was nice. The rooms they keep you in however were beyond dirty. They are filthy… The hooker motels in my city would most likely not even be this dirty. The rooms are tiny and old and had 2 patients per room. Both just had surgery. The rooms were disgusting. The floors were the worst I have seen anywhere, even a subway has cleaner floors. You can see the pictures I took posted under the picture section of this hospital. I took a paper towel and got it damp and just wiped a small 3″ section. I started dry heaving, the towel turned black and had a huge large ball of hair… all different kinds not to mention the millions of other unidentifiable particles on that paper towel. I will not even get started on the bathrooms. I can’t imagine this being legal. The risk of infection after a surgery must be huge. I was very scared for my moms safety. If you have a choice please go somewhere else.

This hospital is full of BS and horrible staffing. As if we’re not worried about our family’s condition. The staff’s blocks the entry for long hours. No visitation allowed, we can’t even make a family decision. This is just bullshit! News and media should report this.
The security acts like he’s an U.S. marshall. He’s full of shit. I can’t wait until one of his family is in critical care and they tell him, no visitors allowed. Hate this place. I’ve never seen a hospital where they block entry.

I had an outpatient procedure done there today. It’s so sad! The intake nurses & OR nurses should go to school to learn good bedside manners. They need compassion instead of treating patients like a number. One yelled at me while I was visibly nervous. Worst experience at a hospital I’ve ever had. I have over 20 years nursing experience and I would never treat a patient the way they treated me.

I am on the fence about this place. I have been a patient here more times than I would like. If I had to chose where to be a patient, I would much rather be at St. Agnes or somewhere else, but my Dr does his surgeries here so I have no choice.
The hospital has made A LOT of changes, for the better. They have updated parts of their facilities. I would really like it if they upgraded their patient rooms though. I know this is an older hospital and it would take a lot of time and money to make those kind of changes.
The pre-​op and OR staff get a solid 5 stars from me. I usually see the same staff whenever I have gone and they are always great. At times they have had students, and while I am always for people learning… I don’t always like it to be on me. When a student went to start my IV, he missed twice and I ended up getting poked more than I would have liked. But, like I said, everybody in the pre-​op and OR are great. Even the ladies at the check in desk remember me (which could be bad, lol) and they are so sweet.
There is a male nurse in the recovery room that does not have a great bedside manner, and I hate it whenever he has been assigned to me. He is just really rough around the edges and zero personality. I had asked for some anti nausea meds, since its common after surgery to feel that way after anesthesia. He opened up an alcohol wipe and told me to sniff it, and that would help. No, how about you go get my doctor and give me some meds…
The floor nurses are also a mixed bag. On one of my visits, I had some of the best nurses during my entire stay. I was so happy w/​the care that I received that I sent all of them a thank you card to tell them how appreciative I was. These nurses went above and beyond in their care for me, and really helped me get thru my 4 day stay. They would always check on me to see if I needed anything, they would come immediately if I pushed my button and answered all of my questions. They would even make conversation w/​me while they were administering meds etc.
On another stay the nurses were the exact opposite. I only had a good experience w/​the Nurses Aide. They offered me a pneumonia vaccination and I took it… BIG mistake!!! A student gave me the shot. After a couple of hours my arm started hurting REALLY bad and I began to throw up repeatedly. The nurses came in and I asked for nausea meds…8hrs later, I finally got them. I was already in so much pain from surgery, and every time that I would throw up it felt like my wound was opening up again, it was painful. The nurse said that the wait was due to the pharmacy.
I kept complaining about my arm hurting, and the nurse just kept telling me that it was gonna be sore from the injection. I have had plenty of injections and I understand that there will be some soreness, but this was downright painful to where I could barely move my arm. It started to get red at the injection site. I kept complaining, and a nurse brought me an ice pack, which did NOT help. They came in to take my stats and found that I had an elevated heart rate, they thought was due to my surgery. At one point they got so concerned that they sent me to have a CT and once up there (that process took 6hrs to get the test, cause of the ER patients) I couldn’t move my arm for the test because it was so swollen and painful to the touch.
I kept asking about my arm because it puffed up and the pain was almost unbearable. I finally got a nurse that took a surgical marker and drew an outline on my arm to see if it was spreading… and what do ya know, it did!!!
One of the hospitalists came in the next morning to check on me, and I told him about my arm. He took one look at it and knew that it was NOT normal. He even went and got gloves on to examine it. In that instant, he knew what was causing my elevated heart rate, vomiting and fever… cellulitis, caused by then injection. He prescribed me some potent antibiotics, that also made me feel sick but it was helping w/​the infection.
The doctors that I have had here are all really good, I have never had a problem. In addition to my regular doctor coming to check on me, the hospital also has their doctors check on you for other issues that you may have.
This hospital also has a large diversity as far as ethnicity goes. So if you speak English, Espanol, Vietnamese, Chinese, Lithuanian etc they got you covered, chances are they will have an employee that speaks your language which is good.
This hospital is not horrible, but it wouldn’t be my first choice. If I need emergency services I will go somewhere else, but for surgical procedures in which I have no say, it will do.
I will end w/​this… after you are discharged, they do a follow up phone call to check on you, but its a COMPUTER!!! I think that is ok if you don’t want to talk to a person, but they should give you an option to speak to someone instead of the automated survey.

now for hospital do better who nurse staff. hire more folks to attend to patient. my dad had to wait nearly 45 minutes for a nurse until i got there and found a nurse in the hall. ridiculous! it made me want to pitch a tent. to nurse: i work customer for 15 years people are a tripped. however, you have to be on your job regardless of how your feel or the last patient or visitor that made you mad. because that your issue or problem. remember that! it sucks but we pick the job. get it together!

The only reason i actually come here is to transport an inmate from and back to the prison. Very nice hospital though, but if you’re visiting someone there then you might want to remember where you parked as there’s many exits and they all lead to different lots. So mark it down people.
On another note the security there are not too friendly at night, they’re like robots and just want to keep you moving as if you were a kid in a candy store and your parents are nowhere to be found, at least that’s what i noticed the couple of times I’ve been there, not with CDC but with the people that are trying to get some information as to the whereabouts of whoever they’re there to see, thats not cool at all.
Well for the facility itself i really like it and yes its very nice outside as well, you might get lost in there tho lol.
