UC Davis Health System

Emergency room visit for abdominal pain. I’m a healthy 30 year old and I went in for a stomach ulcer. I was there for 4 hours. Abdominal ultrasound $ 3348. Chest X-​ray $ 1162 (only $ 250 at sutter), ekg $ 382, facility fee for sitting in the waiting room $ 3396, blood work $ 173,$ 213, $ 214,$ 437, $ 46.5. This isn’t including physician fees. I left there after they just gave me Pepcid and a GI cocktail. Go to Sutter!!!

The good folks at UC Davis have saved my life on more than one occasion. For that reason alone I cheerfully give them the highest rating possible. My own dance with death aside, UC Davis offers the very best health care in the Sacramento region.
Like any hospital, there are times when you’ll have to wait an inordinate amount of time for service, and the maze of hallways combined with endless remodels and additions make this place harder to navigate that the Winchester Mystery House. But I can hardly blame the hospital for either of these inconveniences, as budget cuts and growing populations continue to cause growing pains for hospitals in general.
If you find yourself waiting in the main lobby, try one of the egg nog lattes from the adjacent café. These are the best way to deal with the building’s perpetually cold interior.
