Very good experience visiting my mother who was admitted here. The staff
overall is wonderful here. Nhelda on the second floor was very nice and
very helpful. The second night RN Seth was especially helpful and attentive,
a perfect example of the kind of RN every patient wants. Night number
three, still on 3rd floor. New RN Zeida is as nice as the others we've
had. She's so sweet and caring I can only assume that everyone is
this nice at this point. Night 4, mom is still here, now she is on 2nd
floor telemetry. Brian is her RN and he is amazing. He explained everything
that was happening to us and was open to any questions we had.

I gave birth to both of my children via C-Section at this hospital once
in 2009 baby boy with (Dr. Steve Vouis) and in 2017 baby girl with (Dr.
Vihn Vo) I am grateful and will be alway's with this hospital. The
nurses and the whole staff are work wonders specially the RN Maria De
Los Angeles she works in the Labor Department she is a terrific nurse
she has been working at this hospital for year's now she took care
of me with both of my labors she made me feel at ease and very calm.
She answered to all my questions English or in Spanish. She is Amazing!
As soon as I walked in to the hospital I requested my own private room
because I knew I was going to stay at least 3-5 day's in the hospital
because I was having a C-Section and both times I was there they granted
me my wish and I had my own private room and that made me so happy. This
hospital is my #1 choice. I will never change this hospital in the world.
Thank You! So much to everyone who works here WHMC. Exceptional Job! - Asrid D.

I recently had 2 procedures in 2 weeks with the Whittier radiology appointment
and WOW. Can you believe they had the nerve to explain the procedures
beforehand and make sure I was comfortable the whole time; who does that?
An amazing department that's who.
Jokes aside, they were nothing short of amazing. They ensured I was comfortable
the whole time and that I understood everything that was going to be done.
From My who answered my call on a Saturday when I initially messed up
my prep work, I called at noon on a Saturday and she was with a patient
and said she would have to call me back. I honestly did not expect a call
back (from experiences with other facilities) but to my surprise a few
hours later when I received a call from her I was blown away. She was
also the person that explained my first Procedure to me and Young was
on deck to work with me as well. They were both nice and thoughtful: making
sure I was comfortable and helping me keep modesty. The dr was really
nice and patient as well throughout the uncomfortable X-ray.
The second week I got to work with Jessica and Young. Again, they were
amazing and incredibly helpful every step of the way. They explained the
procedure, talked to me as a person to keep the mood calm and relaxed,
ensured I was comfortable and checked in frequently to ensure I was doing
well. I remember having a procedure a few years back with My as the tech
and I should written a compliment for her then too. If you ever need xrays
or radiology procedures, try and get it here with this amazing staff.

I would like to publicly announce the most outstanding care I received
on my baby's delivery! I recently delivered my 1st baby at Whittier
hospital and I can't stop boasting about how such great work the whole
team did. From labor and delivery to postpartum care! Can't believe
how this whole team in both departments took well CARE of me and my newborn.
This hospital definitely deserves the Best Award in CARE because they
put the CARE in HEALTHCARE! THANK YOU! To my nurses Rosario, Yali, and
Kim the shift manager for the LOVE, CARE, AND ATTENTION! Thank you, to
all the team that took part in my delivery. OB Purdom is the Best! - Barbie L.

I delivered my baby girl at Whittier Hospital on Sunday July 22nd, and
the nurses were truly wonderful to both myself, my husband and our new
baby. While in Labor and Delivery, Katerina took excellent care of me,
always making sure my ice was full and taking me to the restroom as often
as I needed. Once the baby came, Miss Doris in the nursery was so kind
and patient with us. My baby had a stomach issue and had to be taken to
the nursery for multiple tests and during this process Miss Doris kept
us informed and let us come visit her in the nursery when our daughter
was in between tests. She's really an amazing lady, and I think my
anxiety would have been through the roof if it wasn't for her. And
finally Melanie, my postpartum nurse... she was so kind and always positive.
She checked on me all the time, making sure we were comfortable. These
3 nurses really made my stay at Whittier Hospital as comfortable as possible,
and they are the reason for my 5 star review. Thank you so much for all
your kindnesses! - Erica G.

"I had the best experience in the maternity area. My plan was to
deliver in a birth center. Everything went the wrong way so we end it
up at the Whittier Hospital. When I got there everything was ready.
I had my midwife Simona Istrate delivered my baby but the rest of the
team was fantastic.
They followed every one of my birth preferences, and I was very specific.
Every one in the team was so human and empathic.
I'm 100% satisfied" - Ainhoa Zapata

"I received a phone call from my son at around 1500 saying that he
had cut his hand pretty bad and was heading to WHMC. I told him that I
would meet him in the ER. He had cut his had right between the thumb and
index finger on his left hand. Right in the middle of that web that we
have there. It was very deep and I knew that he was going to need stitches.
We were called to the back within 5 minutes of waiting, triaged and sent
to the minor room. A very nice PA named Brittany came in and took care
of him. She cleaned out the wound and put both a deep layer of sutures
and skin sutures in it. She explained everything to him before she did
it keeping him at ease the whole time. He was placed in a splint at the
end and sent home. Overall we had a great experience at this hospital.
I would recommend it to everyone that I know. Great job to everyone that
took real good care of him."
“I would like to commend and recognize Nurse B.. She was caring for
my mother and was very informative and always projected a positive sense
of urgency… thank you very much Nurse B. and keep up the great
job!”
“I had all 3 of my children there. Fantastic hospital.”
“Pues yo esoty muy agraciado la verdad x q fui a urgencias y me atendieron

hospital y claro los doctores también”
I wanted to express my thanks and appreciation to the staff below. ER RNs:
Kelly and Steve - Kelly was very helpful and caring. Steve was the most
compassionate and professional RN I have seen or worked with. Steve was
quick to act, whether it was for a pt or for a colleague. Even during
the change of shift, he made a point to ensure that I was comfortable
and my needs were met. RN on 2nd floor: Thien was the nurse assigned to
me. Like RN Steve, Thien was patient, professional and sincere. He made
his rounds on time, and also made sure that my questions and concerns
were answered promptly and accurately. Please tell each of them, thank
you for caring for me!!
