Emergency Room at UCI Medical Center

This place will prescribe you Tylenol for everything and then we’ll send you home. Took them 3hrs just to give us Tylenol for severe gallstone vomiting and another 3hrs for the CT Scan results. Terrible service: made us wait in the lobby instead of giving PT a room to rest while waiting for results.

It took six hours to give me one pill at the center. The worst part was they took away my whole prescription. The doctor lied to me and she said she would give me a new prescription but she never gave me one. When I called them back at the center, they said they could not help me. In mean time, I was suffering because I did not have a prescription and my regular doctor could not prescribe me a new prescription.

I came in for a broken ankle I had sustained a few days prior. I was having trouble finding anyone that could help me without insurance. I finally decided I couldn't wait any longer and went to UCI ER. I'm so thankful I did. Every single person I encountered was kind, helpful and made sure I was comfortable. They got me signed up for temporary insurance and got me pain relief within 30 minutes. The Triage Nurse was so kind and got me over to a wonderful nurse practitioner who got my pain under control and my imaging done. The orthopedic surgeon on the floor was wonderful, he set my ankle and foot and gave me a much better splint than what I received at an urgent care. I can't say enough about how at ease every staff member made me. I was there most of the day but it was well worth it to get the help I needed.

After 4 hours at an urgent care clinic and a radiograph did not provide a good enough image, I was referred to an ER for an MRI or similar. I was told to go immediately and I had a choice of several. I made the wrong choice of coming here. The concept of triage is lost upon this ER; they prefer first come, first served, no matter what. I was obviously on of the sickest people waiting, but that made zero difference to the staff. I threw up in the restroom 3 times while waiting, on top of 5 times before getting here. I let them know of course but it was a waste of my time and breath. I told them I was leaving after 2 hours and all that could do was keep parting how they were " backed up". Disgraceful.
