While our daughter was in the Cedars Sinai ICU in critical condition, we (parents) stayed in the fifth floor ICU waiting room overnight. Please keep in mind, this is in the ICU (critical care) WAITING ROOM.. Having a daughter that has spent a large portion of 33 thirty three years in and out of major hospitals, Cedars Sinai has the rudest, most uncaring hospital staff (I'm not taking about the medical staff) that we have ever experienced. My wife was able to get about one hour of sleep while I got zero sleep in a thirty hour period. The hospital employees use the waiting rooms as their break rooms or just places to hide during their shift. They come into the waiting rooms constantly throughout the night during their breaks (amongst family members of hospital patients). They take up seating and spread out on chairs, talk on phone calls at normal volume voices, sometimes having long conversations while on speaker phone, all while a majority of the patient visitors are stressed out, starved for sleep and trying to get some sanctity. If the employees aren't making all kinds of noise in the waiting rooms, they go back to work and slam doors, talk across lengths of hallways to other empl

As inpatient, its a mixed feeling. Some nurses are in top of your pain meds, others wait until you ask but by that time its hard to get it under control, especially at night. Even when asked to wake you so that they are given on-time. 1 nurse aid was putting the blood pressure cup over the IV needle had to tell them you cant put it there, another was a little rough when moving blankets, pillows from around you. When someone has surgery you dont just pull on a pillow or blanket. Had to have imaging done and 1 of the orderlies did not slow or warn you there was a bump coming and just went with no care in the world. They dont clean your room daily (floor, bathroom) they do the trash. Rooms could be a little cleaner. 1 nurse asked where some items were that are normally in a room when you get in here but several things were not. We had to ask for them, like wash cloths, towels, extra blanket ect... Weekends the service for food is very slow and they forget items. My guest has had to remove my food tray just before the next meal arrives. Glad my guest was here as the had to ask several time for stuff for me and assist me with my needs.

My Son was flown from Las Vegas Nevada to Cedars-Sinai Hospital because he was in Sumerlin Hospital in Las Vegas Nevada which is a terrible Hospital! Doctor Deborah Holder reviewed my Son's case because she has a history with my Son 8 years prior at Children's Hospital Los Angeles. She talked with the Neurologists in Las Vegas and new our Son need to get to California right away. He ended up having his first Brain Surgery on 4/14/26 it was almost a 10 hour surgery. They ran into some complications and our Son suffered a stroke during surgery. It effected his speech and his right hand, and face. They had to go back in on 4/21/26 to install the RNS stimulator to help control his Seizures and hopefully stop them completely. He had some wonderful Doctors and Nurses that took such great care of him. Dr. David Bonda, Dr. Holder, Dr. VHD took such great care of our Son. Coming from Las Vegas Nevada the health care system is pretty bad it's hard to find Doctor's that actually care about there patients it's almost like how many patients can we see in one day. We would drive the 6 hours for the best care. We were transferred to California Rehabilitation Institute today so my Son can recover

❤️ My Deepest Thanks to Cedars‑Sinai, Dr. Glenn Pfeffer, and Dr. Max Meshalksi I want to express my sincere gratitude to the exceptional team at Cedars‑Sinai. After traveling from Bakersfield for help with my complex ankle condition, Dr. Glenn Pfeffer guided me with honesty and compassion and referred me to Dr. Max Meshalksi — a surgeon whose skill and kindness truly stand out. My ankle fusion was a complex case because it followed a previously failed surgery I had in Bakersfield, yet Dr. Meshalksi handled it with exceptional skill and care. He treated me with patience, respect, and genuine kindness. He gives his full attention, answers every question, and makes patients feel safe and supported. I am also grateful to the Cedars‑Sinai social worker team for always responding quickly and helping me whenever I reached out. And finally, thank you to my son Matthew, who found this amazing place for me. To Dr. Pfeffer, Dr. Meshalksi, and the entire Cedars‑Sinai team — thank you for your compassion, professionalism, and the exceptional care you provide. Mais Nasrawin

The nurses and the doctor is great. They constantly check up on you to see how you are doing. Friendly and caring! The place is clean, and neat. The food is also great, I can tell why it is one of the top hospitals in the United States.
