By far the worst hospital ever; very incompetent doctor, inefficient procedure, 7 hours in the ER waiting a urine test and a doctor to tell me the results. It was my first and last experience.

I had no problems. Went in for severe pain in the middle of my stomach. Waiting room was very crowded. Saw triage within 20 minutes. In a bed and on IV with pain medicine within 45 minutes. In the hospital for 5 days due to gall bladder surgery and problems with my liver function test. Had 4 doctors on my case. Only had a couple nurses I didn't like. This was a little over a year ago. If there are major problems now you can blame Obamacare! All low income have insurance and go to the ER for every little thing.

I have a bone disease , my husband has pancreatitis, high blood pressure, kidney failure one at a time or all together n average hospitalize him for at least a week.so far we been here for 7days 6nights . Emergency sucks the wait time is stupid ridiculous their not doing something right because it shouldnt take as long as it does. We went in at 1am and had a room the following night a lady I spoke too who had pregnancy who was 2 days close to her last trimester, she had pain in her belly she waited 6hours justfor triage with the 4 people I spoke to the average emergency wait time is 8 to 11 hours even for serious vonditions. 98. Percent of the nurses are rude and GHETTO. MY husband had not been able to keep down drink or food for 6 days.... he asked hus ghetto nurse can I please get a cuo of ice tea she says with an attitude you want tea or ice water she said forcing him into only getting water. I have alot more to say......

The correct # to St. Mary Medical Center is (760) 242-2311 not 946-8170. Please do not call the 946-8170 #. Thank You
