The Cedars-Sinai "My CS-Link" app is a fantastic way to track and manage every aspect of your Cedars Group medical care, including communicating with doctors via messaging, keeping track of appointments, pre-appointment check-in, access to test results, prescription ordering and refill requests, and account management. The app is clear and intuitive. It has been truly indispensable for me, both for routine medical matters and, even more so, during my recent cancer treatment. The app is tied into the My CS-Link website, but I'm on the go so the mobile access is more useful than the PC/Mac access.By the way, the Samuel Oschin Cancer Center at Cedars is incredible. It's a one-stop center for treatment. All under one roof is a team of doctors and other caregivers who provide a wrap-around treatment program for cancer treatment and recovery, including surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, pain management treatment, imaging, psychiatry, speech therapy, physical rehab, and licensed support counseling. All the caregivers work as a coordinated team, reading each other's case notes over time and meeting regularly to discuss patients. Everyone is expert, caring, and kind.

Now, I will mention from the start that I lack any experience with other healthcare-focused apps, so my opinion of CS Link is based solely on my use of it alone, however I have been so impressed with the abundance of features and the general ease of use throughout my time in the application that I can’t really imagine how other alternatives or competitors might be doing a better job. It is incredibly easy to get anything you need done accomplished within a very short time, whether that is scheduling an appointment, viewing records or lab results, virtual video healthcare visits with providers or messaging your doctor — it all just works. You can connect the app to an external monitoring device like an Apple Watch to sync the records of any bodily functions you may be monitoring. You can easily view and download your entire medical history records which is super helpful for insurance purposes as well. Kudos to the developers for doing such a good job, especially when these sorts of location/company specific apps tend to be very basic or poorly designed.

I have been a patient since 2002. Always great service until the last 2-3 years it seems very sketchy when it comes to patient cake I see employees just grabbing family members and putting them before other patients, the wait times have been extremely ridiculous lately. Just couple of days ago I saw HR rep come and tell his friend I’ll get you right in and sure enough they went in before any of the other emergencies that were in the facility kind of disgusted by it because regardless of anything I have great insurance and I was in great pain. There is a lot of gossip throughout the emergency room about personal issues in different languages which I know a few that should not be getting done at a work place specially not about having a crazy night out drinking and “blacking out” yet you are here the next day caring for patients. The call light for the nurse can go on for over 30 minutes and they can hear it ringing and the lights going on and off and they just sit there chatting. Professionalism has drop significantly over time and the cleanliness as well. I haven’t switched to a new hospital because all of my medical providers are affiliated with this hospital but lately I have been thinking of transferring care even if it means loosing amazing doctors.

On January 30, 2020 my 30 year old son was involved in a pedestrian hit and run. His injuries were severe but not life threatening. His was very fortunate. Other than lots of bumps and bruises, he sustained multiple fractures- right arm, 7 ribs, left clavicle, left eye orbital fractures and a small T1 fracture.He was admitted to the trauma unit the morning of the accident. He required ORIF of his right humerus by Dr Little and his team on January 31st. He was transferred to a regular room two nights and discharged on February 2nd to go home. I am a physician myself with experience at many hospitals. The care that he received was superb! All of the personnel that he came in contact with were professional and very caring. I can’t say enough about the efficiency of this hospital. Even BC/BS called to check in to make sure that he had everything that he needed. My son is doing well but healing takes time. I am leaving for home in Florida tonight. We have different shifts of relatives coming in to help. He will have follow up appointments with his doctors but I have every confidence that the great care will continue. gcs
