Patient Testimonials

I have to rate the hospital on the staff’s performance. First of all, many nurses and techs worked hard to minimize my discomfort and increase my strength. Many staff members answered questions to my satisfaction, there were few instances where I felt left in the dark. The hospital was clean (very important!).

Rosana P.

I would like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank everyone at West Anaheim Medical Center for their kindness and concerns for my mother while she was there for her emergency medical needs for her heart and abdominal conditions. I wanted to convey my sincere thank you to everyone at West Anaheim Medical Center and everyone affiliated with my mother’s care for their job well done. I hope my sincere thank you will be passed along to your staffs mentioned above, because I feel they don’t hear enough THANK YOUs from their patients and their superiors for their good work!

I was treated for minor+ injuries from a motorcycle accident. Medical staff and the nurse was friendly, courteous, and fast. The PA was very professional. I ordered Uber Eats, and the ER staff brought it to me. Nice clean room and Mobil X-Ray machine. Thanks WAMC ER!
