I hate this hospital. Worst hospital in the north eastern region of California. Lassen Banner Medical Center in Susanville is 100% better compared to this crummy unprofessional establishment. They just finished the Warner View Skilled nursing home that they were legally obligated to complete by August 2025. Such horrible services for such a little town! If ever in the ER don’t waste your time and wait, use it wisely and head to Oregon either Lakeview or Klamath Falls or down to Susanville! The ER doctors are high turnover here and beware of ER doctor Zachary Self. What kind of name is this anyways? He was very unprofessional and did not seem knowledgeable one bit!
