Camp Pendleton Hospital - Oceanside, California

This is truly an amazing hospital. The structure, curb appeal, parking, services, etc. Great location compared to the older naval hospital; which was more centrally located, but this one is near the freeway and new PX (think huge Wal-Mart, the largest in the Marine Corps from what I understand).
The pharmacy is huge, and has several windows to tend to it's customers, but it's always extremely busy. There's plenty of seating, restrooms nearby, a new mini shoppette, a dining hall, a location to drop old expired medication, both stairs and elevators to each floor, plenty of handicap parking, and so much more. It's got everything! Those who live on base, or have authorization to use its services should feel fortunate.

NEVER. GO. HERE FOR PAIN. I was given a sedative. Unable to move in a dark room alone after the lights turned off for an HOUR and I was terrified after being scolded and lectured by different doctors/nurses. No one cared about my pain. Medical gaslighting at its finest. Even the advocates told me to toughen up. Humiliation. I was screaming in Polish in pain and they found it threatening. I was BEGGING sorry sorry. Didn’t help. Making a formal complaint at this hospital once I am physically able to. I cannot let this happen to others as I had to end up going to an ER over an hour away for help. VERBAL threats. “Why don’t you want to get treated here?” Don’t take everything a person in the most excruciating pain of their life says seriously, ESPECIALLY AFTER BEING ASSAULTED WITH AN IRON. Not everything is mental hurt. I physically was beat and no one did anything for my SEVERE nerve pain but regular medicine. I have forever trauma and fear now from these doctors/nurses/all staff. Nothing will ever make it right and I’m afraid of my life now ever getting sick or hurt. If you guys didn’t want to treat my pain, why didn’t you say so in the first place? Forget about being discharged with no ride ready. Being dumped outside the er in a 12/10 pain. Disgusting and forever have anxiety now. Welcome to Camp Pendleton. My first hospital experience on the west coast. How could you possibly diagnose someone but not treat the pain? I will never get my dignity back from then. Let me tell you something. I am 18 years old. Not a junkie. Newly married. Newly moved. I never want to see any of their faces again from the er but I know to make this right I have to tell others. Be careful and best bet you can handle your pain silently or they’ll try to manipulate you to answer questions so your thrown in the psych ward instead.

I had my baby boy at this hospital and I loved it. I was originally on Tricare Prime and hated the hassle caused by other doctors in Oceanside. I finally switched to Tricare Standard and I now go through the hospital for almost everything. Everything is in one place, and the doctors, nurses, and corpsman are all very friendly. I really lucked out with a good doctor who helped me deliver my beautiful little baby. It's a newer hospital so everything is very easy to find and very nice and clean. I understand not wanting to use military medicine for everything, but this happens to be a very good facility.

Clean, not hard to find parking. The ER wasn’t much of a wait both times I went. Got sent home with two pages of phone numbers and told it wasn’t a therapy office by rude doctors, had to explain my situation about 4 different times to 4 different doctors. Pretty disappointed and ended up back in there for the same exact reason I went. Bet they take things more seriously now.

I had my baby boy here in 1990 my husband was away and I didn't have any family around the doctor's and nurses gave me the best of care I felt so comfortable being in there care.
