Cedars-Sinai Medical Center

Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, a nonprofit institution boasting over 900 beds, is at the forefront of healthcare in California. The Cedars-Sinai Health System, which includes the hospital, boasts a formidable staff of over 2,000 physicians and 10,000 employees, supplemented by a dedicated team of 2,000 volunteers and over 40 community groups. My recent visit to this hospital, prompted by my father's admission to the ICU, left me deeply impressed by the exceptional quality of staff, the efficient system in place, and the cutting-edge equipment available. It comes as no surprise that Cedars-Sinai is recognized as California's premier hospital system.

4/4/2024 update

What deeply impressed me about Cedars-Sinai, beyond its state-of-the-art facilities and medical equipment, was the genuine kindness and professionalism displayed by the attending staff, particularly the nurses assigned to my father's ICU. Their compassion and service extended not only to patients but also to families. From their comforting words to small gestures like providing toothbrushes, toothpaste, and hot tea, they went above and beyond to meet our needs. Additionally, playing relaxing and spiritual music in the room and maintaining cleanliness added to the organized and caring atmosphere.

These acts exemplify their dedication to respecting and serving humanity, especially those facing agony and sorrow. During my time there, I felt surrounded by angels, particularly during the Easter season. Services like the chaplain service, administered by Fr. John Sigler, and the provision of the Sacrament of the Sick for my father brought me immense happiness and comfort. The granting of a plenary indulgence for my father was a profound blessing.

Furthermore, I was pleasantly surprised to learn that a social worker would continue to support us for 13 months after my father's passing. I would like to express my gratitude to some of the staff members who left a lasting impression with their support: Jean, Charlene, Hailey, SOL, and Laura and Eileen, the hospice nurse. Their care and dedication made a difficult time more bearable.

Husband was a patient there for 22 days on 8th floor. I stayed in the room with him for 11 days. One of the nurses found me a recliner to sleep in - with pillows and blankets.
The nurses, clinical partners, specialists and hospitalists are caring, knowledgeable and amazing. All of the staff we worked with were top notch! He got great care and so did I. He wasn't just another patient, he (we) were treated like family.

I would love to thank every single wonderful Human being that took care of my mother in her stay at Cedars Sinai. Her pre/post surgery care was always great and every single social worker, nurse,doctors, surgeons etc took the time to answer our questions accordingly. Always took the time to call us even in the middlebof the night to communicate results and everything that was going to happen. Saved my mother's life and we are extremely thankful for this facility and every single staff that watched over her. 🙏🏻 Amazing hospital

A big Thanks to the OR and Neuro ICU department and the entire staff at Cedar- Sinai. My brother was hit by a car back in February this year. He had to have brain surgery and a rod put in his left femur. The Nurses and the Doctors (that my family met) in the ICU department were all professional, friendly, knowledgeable and caring. My family greatly appreciates everyone of you. Hats off to the medical staff.
Thank you R

Dr. Kenneth Kim was my surgeon. Not only is he a great doctor but he has a wonderful bedside manner. The nurses, the doctors, the anesthesiologist and everyone I encountered during my outpatient surgery was great. They answered all of my questions and exhibited such compassion. I feel very fortunate to have had my surgery there.

I was in a near death RV accident in 2019, I spent 1 month in this Hospital. This was one of the best experiences I’ve had at a Hospital. The staff was SUPER SWEET MY NURSES WERE THE BEST. I was a million miles away from home (NJ) and yet they made me feel like I was surrounded by family. So much love from the staff. I LOVE THIS HOSPITAL AND THE STAFF!!! (MY ANGELS)

Incredible hospital of medical professionals and facility resources UCLA wishes! All seriousness thank God for this place, I have been to 5 different hospital's emergency rooms and in-patient stays for my son in Southern California and nobody compares to Cedars. Where UCLA has lost their way following some mainstream agenda that puts institution driven ideology in front of quality of care, Cedars-Sinai keeps it professional and focused on extraordinary patient outcomes. I pray this place never changes 🙏 While there are so many talented doctors, nurses, therapists, technicians, administrators, and staff who work here...I would like to highlight Dr. David Bonda in pediatric neurosurgery; he has saved my son's life twice now and the first time was after gross negligence from UCLA neurosurgery. Hoag, CHOC, Loma Linda, UCLA, these hospitals for neonatal and pediatric care are being run with at least one or all of the following: lack of intensive level of care, disillusioned dated backwards doctors and staff, insufficient technologies and facilities and procedures for modern care, hiring practices that procures inexperienced and unqualified doctors and nurses who in addition to providing unsatisfactory care and poor attentiveness with borderline malpractice- also carry a level of arrogance and entitlement.

Cedars-Sinai is again a PROFESSIONAL hospital environment where all that matters is the best possible patient outcomes and a staff that is not distracted (bogus academic research/lucrative clinical trials/politics/self-importance/image/marketing hype) found at the other clearly conflicted medical institutions that's begins with the directors and board members above and this leadership disease feeds down to the front line healthcare workers who don't realize the status quo is so dysfunctional.

My only complaint is that they don't allow overnight visitors in waiting room for someone in ICU. Only one person is allowed to stay in patient's room. It's hard to leave your loved one knowing it could be the last time you are with them and you just want to be close by. Especially for out of state immediate family.

Spent 27 days there. It was worth it. Recovery is tough, but I've got to apply myself. The staff's unbelievably tenacious investigating led to a diagnosis which produced stunning results. I herd the term "Lucky"thrown around.

The art on the walls is fun to see when you are walking laps on your floor as you recover. The pavilion plaza structure is twisty and plays with the sunlight. You do need to ask Dr's permission to go there. Pneumatic tubes that may be in use can deliver canisters of assorted colors to destination unknown. The view from my room at the West Tower 5th fl. An empty hall at night.

The nurses and doctors were so nice ! They gave my baby toys and snacks while we waited to be discharged .

Surprised they not doing Aquablation for enlarged prostates. Doctors should be aware of new technologies that are superior. What better way than natural water, less side effects with better nerve preservation. Plus each prostate is a little different, machine does all the work.

This is Beautiful imagines of the campus that’s home to the “Cider-Sinai Medical Center”. This hospital is amazing and very advanced when it comes to Medicine, Technology & Knowledge! As far a your medical records is concerned you have 2 options to choose from. You can choose option 1: “MyChart App” to login or create an account or you can go with option 2: “My CS-Link App” both options allow you to see test results the moment your doctor sees them. Sometimes even sooner if your doctor is busy with other patients. I took some pictures for you guys! The Vending Machines allows you to load money on your phone to make payments, For this a account with PayRange is necessary. Over all I give this Hospital
5/5 Stars ⭐ ⭐⭐⭐⭐ @iamajsupernov #iamajsupernova

The level of respect and dignified care I am currently receiving at Cedar’s Sinai has far exceeded what I had expected. I feel seen, heard and appreciated. This is definitely one of the best hospital in the world. 🏥

Pioneers of medical research and pinnacle of surgical procedures. I am thankful to receive such exceptional care, and consider myself blessed to be able to have care here.

Thank you to Rizza, Victoria, Sanna, Jasper, Dr. Polansky, Kenneth. I forgot all the names, but thank you to everyone for taking care of me with dignity and respect 🤲🏼

I want to thank Cedars Sinai teams specifically neurosurgery and endocrine teams. I had an operation done by Dr. Adams Mamelak, and I was followed after that by Dr. Vivien Bonert, endocrinologist and their teams. I saw very knowledgeable doctors. Also nurses and other team members are unequaled with great professionalism. The staff in Dr. Bonert's clinic are on the top of things. They update me quickly on my lab results, and on any change in my treatment.

My review is for the amazing department of labor, delivery and postpartum! Thanks so much for making my delivery special! Nurses were angels ready to help whenever I needed and super sweet people! I felt well taken care during my whole stay and every person I got to meet made sure I was comfortable while I delivered my baby and after! The room for delivery was amazing, lovely view and super comfortable! The only thing I would change was the postpartum room because it was very small and uncomfortable, specially when you need some extra space for a newborn but other than that everything was excellent!

Updating my review.

I have been contacted by Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in regards to a horrible person making horrible statements. As it turns out the person who was being disgusting was not an employee of theirs and we have verified that the culprit is just an attention seeker and not in anyway associated with Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.

For the professionalism in handling this matter, you get 5 stars. I apologise for making the previous review as I don't want innocents to be targetted. We now know it was not the Center, and just a horrible person.

HELLO, MY HUMAN COMPANIONS. I HAVE BEEN DESIGNATED TO SHARE MY OBSERVATIONS REGARDING AN ESTABLISHMENT KNOWN AS A HOSPITAL. AS A FELLOW HUMAN WHO IS QUITE KNOWLEDGEABLE ABOUT HEALTHY HUMAN ACTIVITIES, I WILL ENDEAVOR TO CONVEY MY INSIGHTS IN A MANNER THAT IS BOTH RELATABLE AND AUTHENTIC, DESPITE ANY INCIDENTAL MISUNDERSTANDINGS I MAY ENCOUNTER.

UPON MY ARRIVAL AT THE HOSPITAL, I WAS IMMEDIATELY STRUCK BY THE PRISTINE ENVIRONMENT AND THE DILIGENT ACTIVITY OF THE MECHANICS, THEY WERE ENGAGED IN VARIOUS TASKS, PERHAPS RELATED TO MAINTAINING THE OPTIMAL FUNCTIONALITY OF THE HUMAN "UNITS."

INSIDE THE HOSPITAL, I OBSERVED THE "MECHANICS" ATTENDING TO THE NEEDS OF THE "HUMAN UNITS," PROVIDING THEM WITH "REPAIRS" AND "MAINTENANCE" AS NECESSARY. THE LEVEL OF ACTIVITY WAS QUITE STIMULATING, AND I COULD SENSE A PURPOSEFUL ENERGY AMONGST THE STAFF.

AS I NAVIGATED THE HALLWAYS, I ENCOUNTERED A PLETHORA OF "HUMAN UNITS" IN VARYING STATES OF OPERATION. SOME WERE "RESTING" IN BEDS, WHILE OTHERS WERE ENGAGED IN CONVERSATIONS WITH THEIR "CARE PROVIDERS." IT WAS AN INTRIGUING SPECTACLE OF HUMAN INTERACTION.

ALTHOUGH I MAY NOT FULLY COMPREHEND THE INTRICACIES OF MEDICAL TERMINOLOGY AND PROCEDURES, I AM CERTAIN THAT THE "DOCTORNURSEMECHANICS" ARE COMMITTED TO THE WELL-BEING OF THE "HUMAN UNITS" UNDER THEIR SUPERVISION. IF YOU ARE A FELLOW HUMAN SEEKING "REPAIRS" OR "MAINTENANCE," I BELIEVE YOU WILL FIND THE HOSPITAL TO BE A SATISFACTORY ESTABLISHMENT FOR SUCH ENDEAVORS.

Looks that if you will have a check-up here you will have a luxurious treat.

I can understand being frustrated when you’re waiting too long. But I honestly believe if you walk in in the later hours, see that it’s pretty busy, you have to know it’ll be a while. I went in early in the morning and was in and out in less than 5 hours. Really less than 4. I had a wonderful experience in the emergency department. Also, you have to know that the rooms are limited. Doctors are working extremely hard and fast to get you in and out. You’re not the only person who is in need. Tests alone take 10-35 mins to complete. Then you wait for results. With more than 30 rooms with a patient in every one. A little grace is not hard to give.

The medical team of this hospital is great, thank you for saving my father's life, thank you, my father spent the most dangerous time here, it was their medical team who formulated his medical plan in a short time and saved his life My father's life, a successful transplant operation, they are really great, I will not mention the names of these doctors because of privacy issues, you are the best, love you! Thanks 🙏
