Raquel Rosas

My grandson, who is 5 years old, went to see his father at 4am because he had earaches all night. The father showed his maxicare card..He said your hospital DOES NOT ACCEPT HEALTH CARDS..My grandson's card is maxicare..You paid CASH..Don't get your health cards accredited if they can't be used in your hospital during EMERGENCY!!"

Angelica Jontila

I don't recommend this hospital. I was in the emergency room because I sprained my ankle. Almost an hour had passed, but I was still waiting for an X-ray. I decided to cancel my procedure because I didn't know how much longer I would have to wait, and the X-ray results would only be available after two days.

Jaymie Albon

Sharon Angeles ambastos you are talking to, I am still talking, please hang up the phone. My right to know my bill as a client of yours and this morning I calculated my bill. Calling the administration of MCU please check employees how they communicate with your clients. Again sharon Angeles ambastos

Worst hospital. Even in an emergency, they won't let you in. This hospital is so worthless, even if you have money to pay them, as long as you're dressed ugly, they won't entertain you, even if you're dying, they still won't let you in. This hospital is like money. Worst. I hope it closes down soon.

J Z

I strongly recommend not to come to this hospital, expensive charges, poor service ??. We only used the emergency room for 2-3 hours, and the bills were as high as 50k. We wasted a whole day there, the medical staff was slow to respond, this hospital is rubbish …

Jhana Marie Lagrimas

Not recommendable hospital. You can't tell if it is public or private. They can discharge an unstable patient if they want to. Everyday they are eager to discuss about discharging the patient since daw wala naman ng ginagawang laboratory sa …

The Ortiz-Luis

Worst Private Hospital ever. My sister's bill was 60k for an overnight admission. Check your bill properly because they overcharge medicines. Besides being very expensive compared to mercury drugs, they billed too much. She only injected a …

Aprillie Rosales

No one will assist you after you settle your bill! We waited for 2hrs after bill the is settled saying that we can get discharge just wait for nurse who will remove the hep-lock and no one came not until my partner go back and forth to the …

Keisha

Some of the staff especially the doctors were not accommodating, there are many shortcomings in their facilities especially in the waiting area for patients who are already there early. I hope you will also fix your system, it is not cheap …

Cyril Galimba

5 star for having a good experience at the Ophthalmology clinic. Start sa nurse attendant and practitioners who accommodated the patient very well and to mention Dr. Patricia Cabe who keep on answering our inquiry with a beautiful smile …

A Miel

For the price of PHP6,200 you have to wait for 2 HOURS before the swab test procedure begin and then another 1 HOUR for the releasing of your receipt and their "guidelines" (it took 1 hour to print a guideline template) and they are also …

Reese Mojica

My sister was rushed to the emergency room for severe abdominal pain. She was seen by over 10 doctors (probably in training), harrassed that she may be pregnant (she was not)... and then they charged us 10k+ and DID NOTHING! Just asked us …

Jovenal Zamora

Suffering a panic attack / acid reflux. The Doctor advise me to do some test (2D Echo & Threadmill Stress Test) then go back on thursday (9/11) to read the test. After going back, the doctor wasn't there. I'll go back na lang daw after a …

Eric Borre

Scamy system and unreliable staff... We give details on what happen " a vehicular accident due to the other party doesn't finalize the settlement" we provide to use our HMO but sadly due to 3rd party involvement it will not be cover, but …

Cypress Ferrer

Scheduled a PFT here. Read the PFT request from my doctor to them when I asked for a schedule over the phone. When I got there, they told me they didn't have puffs of the medicine I needed for PFT. So I went to SMGC to buy an inhaler to …

Michael Reyes

What kind of hospital is this that gave the wife a urine test and then without even getting the test, they immediately diagnosed her as pregnant?!!! They are forcing her to admit me when she is only 1 cm, do you think I am not a pre-med …

Marifel Gino-gino

Took us almost 1 hour just to get the billing paper. Biller prioritized to eat her lunch first before accommodating outpatient. We’re the only one waiting for the billing paper. You can see their faces and reaction not being in a rush …

kim ashley arreglo

Instead of taking immediate action on what people are feeling or complaining about, they prioritize being polite and delicate with their patients, what are they even doctors for if they don't immediately provide first aid to people who …

Michael Montaño

I don't recommend this hospital. Very pricey. Just for 2 days our hospital bill is around 60k. Doctor's PF is very high. FYI 3 Doctors. Can you imagine if 10 Doctors assisted of 1 Patient???? around 12k for 2 times visit/checkup a …

Enrique Cruz

Don't bring your relatives with heart ailment, they will just die, promise, you will only spend money in the ICU, you will still die. There is an internist there, his motto is that when his patient has a stroke, he prays for death. My …

bluelover snitch

I went to MCU Hospital in July 2023 to get a medical certificate in ENT, Raymond De Gula is the MD, I was already in the cue, I was supposed to be served already but someone new came with goldilocks, they are typical of those who are …

Mitch Canoy

If you can look for other hospital, please do so. They will get money from you as long as they can. Slow din sila. They weren't able to get a hospital where my mother can be transferred from their ER, kami pa ung nakahanap.

Peter Schulthess

Not to be recommended for people that travel or live alone.
They have a perfect Emergency room. Good doctors. I was there because of high fever. They made many checks and diagnosed me finally with Dengue and Pneumonia. …

catz0826

Out patient area is too small, patients just tend to wait outside. Restroom is stinky. Whie I was waiting outside the OPD area, dead body will just pass in front of you going to morgue.

Rex Santillan

The information is just long even though I feel very sick. They still won't let me in until I'm inside, I still need to wait for the results
- the staff is kind
- the doctor is also good

Mario Legazpi

The customer service I spoke to was rude. I was inquiring about doctors and then the man's answer was arrogant. Who do you think is arrogant? He's a whore, he's going to kill himself.

Gon Freecs

Chest xray here is 1.1k, but outside it's only 350. There were only two of us patients in the radio department but I still had to wait 30 minutes just for a chest xray, what the hell.

Frodalyn Shaldjian

Patients Rights, on a poster hanging on the wall near the billing department, clearly state the right to question the bill. However, when doing so we were greeted with hostility. …

Rhonel Garcia

I decided to take my 7-year-old to the ER due to dengue symptoms. This was his **first trip to the ER or hospital**, as we usually only visit our regular doctor for check-ups. …

Red8

I don't recommend this hospital at all, even in emergency situations it is not worth the risk. Parang incompetent some nurses and doctors there! Go somewhere else!

Lanyer Latrell

There’s an absolute delay with how they release their patients’ documents. The refusal of assistance is also evident most especially with billing people. SMH.

Abegail Salazar

??
My father was misdiagnosed by Dr. Alonzo and Dr. Claryssa Ligon Both Internal Medicine, Doctors of MCU, it turned out that my father had a stroke but their …

Ronel Ramos

You pay extra for using the emergency room, but there is no difference. Its like waiting in a public hospital. I waited 8 hours just to get a tetanus shot.

Levi Ackerman

This is a win for many nurses and doctors, hehe, maybe it's a problem because we patients are just being treated, but it's okay as long as it's sexy :P

Miki Laureano

They have 2 parking areas for doctors. Then there's a parking area for patients and you're even competing for parking with their rich students. ? …

Erickson Siochi

Worst hospital. They will do anything to extract as much money as possible from patients. As much as possible, stay away from this filthy hospital.

Andrea Mejia

The service is very long, even in an emergency you have to wait more than 5 hours just for them to assist you. even its for swab testing. ???? …

Joey Villamejor

Aside from Diosdado Macapagal Hosp... mcu is the 2nd most visited by caloocan residents. Bawal.magkasakit. pero if nid go hosp d2 n tau punta.

Sepj Rodela

DO NOT GET CHECKED UP OR HOSPITALIZED HERE. THE STATEMENT REGARDING PAYMENT OF THE PROCEDURE IS DIFFERENT AND PATIENTS ARE NOT TAKEN CARE OF!

Cho Sun

The ambiance is welcoming, well-lit and spacious. The staffs were friendly and all our inquiries were attended promptly. Kudos!

Arabelle Albutra

It's been so long. Even in an emergency, those in billing and admissions have no sense of urgency. They're always talking!!

jas

I know someone admitted from this hospital, they didn't even reach within a day and only a few hours then it reached 16k??

Kaye Perez

your hmo card is good but they need cash
the cash was paid first i am still in line as of this hours from 5pm 930 pm na po

Antonette Lilia

I hope the guards in front of the hospital are more respectful when answering patients. Please do something about this.

JV philman

Money first before admitting to this hospital. They immediately asked for 50k when we brought my cousin here in 2019.

Idol Magalona John Jeffrey

The checkup at the OPD is 325 which is okay, but why do you have to wait so long? It's better than a public hospital.

Nicole Bautista

There is no consideration for visiting hours. We are from the province and they don't even let us in for 15 minutes.

Cody Koh

No canteen inside hospital. Hospital looks like a giant masoleum. Mainit. Always flooding when a little rain comes.

Google Nova7i

Dimetro Hospital would be ok if it was St. Luke's or Capitol Hospital and the quality was good, but it's not. ? …

JM D

The thing I appreciate here is the kind and considerate parking guard. Parking space is very limited though.

Ctian Jhoey

Very slow. My grandfather had to wait 7 hours just for a checkup! no process. rude people. not worth it.

Lawrence Flores

The action takes too long, instead of saving the patient, they're just waiting for him to die..

Tintin Estrella
