Adventist Medical Center – Selma

WIsh I had the option for no stars, Will be boycotting adventist health in the future.

The nurses were very helpful and nice it we got out of there pretty quick but then again there wasn’t a whole lot of people. This was my first time ago ng in about 4years.

I usually always go here for the er and thats because they see you fast. Most of the nurses and doctors are nice, prompt, and do there job right. However there have been a time or two when I got a doctor or nurse who didnt really listen to my concerns. I also would like to add that it is a better place than the reedley hospital. Someone said that since the switch from district to Adventist health it has gone down hill and I highly agree with that. It seems like they have become more run down. Not just the inside look of the hospital but the staff as well they dont look happy but hey thats just my observation. I have never been admitted here but my mom and my husband both have been. After my mom got out of surgery she was in so much pain she was practically screaming after words. And before that she was scheduled to have her surgery two days before but the nurse she got to prep her for surgery hit a vein wrong and caused her bp to go up way to high so they had to wait. My husband just had surgery there last august and I was very disappointed because the surgeon didnt come out and talk to me afterwards to let me know anything. I had to go find my husband on my own it was dishearting especially in a situation like that. You know when a loved one is in a vulnerable state like that you need to know how things are going, but nope I got nothing. So I am only giving this hospital 2 stars for the reasons here that I have mentioned. Hope this helps.

They are only getting one star because I don’t have the option to give them none. These people are a
f$@&cking joke! How are they still open??? And don’t bother replying «call us so we can resolve this issue». Tried that. You assh#les not only didn’t answer but never called me back

My father-​in-​law ended up here after an accident due to a medical issue. It’s a very nice local hospital, but because of the size it is lacking in some of equipment, staff, and hours or coverage from a larger medical facility.

Couple of years ago I ended up in Emergency then admitted to the Hospital for a few days due to a kidney infection. I emergency room doctors were great no complaints there but once admitted had to beg for everything, 2 days in there no one even asked if I wanted a sponge bath or a shower. My husband had to bring me some personal items because they did not have them available even my own meds. Food was okay for a hospital but they seem to always get my menu wrong plus being Diabetic most of the time meals came later then for regular patience. After I got home they did call a few days later to see how I was doing which was nice bad part she wanted to know about my experience like I told her no one bothered to ask if I wanted to take a shower, bad enough having to share a room yet the LVN’s never seems to clean up the bathroom area nor did housekeeping bother., had to beg for fresh water, Nasty, Nasty. My doctor in the hospital was one that has been there for awhile oh he was good but wanted to change some of my meds told him no way I’d talk to my own doctor about it once out of there. I asked a lot questions got half way decent answers but not good enough to let him change anything. Thank God 2 days later I was out of there, good for a local hospital but nothing to brag about, finally on the last night there they got me up to walk gee a little late don’t ya think. RN’s were good.
I’ve had plenty of testing done there now those all went very well a lot of concern for the patience, (are you comfortable, this won’t take long etc) waiting isn’t bad their, normally get in right away so their outpatient service is very good just hope you don’t have to be admitted there. Now at one time when it was still Selma District Hospital service was top rated had major surgery there many times even for cancer couldn’t have ask for better once it changed to Adventist Medical Center like every other hospital cuts had to be made unfortunately it reflects in patient services. Then to really finalize it all never got a bill from there and guess what got turned in for collections with an agency in Bakersfield had no idea there was even an additional bill this was during the time they were changing over, being a Bill Collector by profession never once got a bill from them, when I did fine out 4 years later took care of it immediately talked to there billing office and from what I found out when they switched they just sent all outstanding accounts straight to collections with out even sending a bill first. Wasn’t happy with that one. Just added even more dis trust to some of there services.

Kudo’s to the hospital staff for being friendly and courteous from the front desk, to the gift shop to the OB ward. Our grandson was recently born here. The staff took excellant care of the entire family. I’ve been in a lot of hospitals and none of recent memory offered the care this one does.

This is for the emergency room. I’ve been to many through the years and this one is by far the fastest.
I’ve sat in ERs bleeding and waiting for hours to see anyone. I think I waited for about 3 hours before finally getting stitches. By then my injury had almost just healed on its own!
But this one is very different from the ERs I’ve been to in both Hanford and Fresno. They make sure you are seen within about 15 – 20 minutes of arrival, which is something I can’t say about any other ER or urgent care I’ve ever been to! Isn’t that how they all should be?!
So I’ve been to the Selma ER twice in the last couple months for severe migraines. Migraines, for those of you lucky enough not to suffer from them, are severe, debilitating headaches that last for days and days at a time and leave you in agony.
On both visits, I explained to the doctors that I get them all the time and I just need a shot. I got in, got my Demerol, and left a much much happier person!
So hopefully you won’t need to visit, but if you do, know that you’ll have quick service and find caring, helpful doctors and nurses.
