Reviews of North Kansas City Hospital Emergency Room (Hospital)

Andrea Trent

NKCH is THE best hospital I've been to in years! From Triage, RNs, MDs, Techs of every discipline and ER Admissions! All were professional, compassionate, attentive, responsive, friendly and made me truly feel I was in the best of caring hands. The same excellent care continued on the 10th floor. I did involve the Pt Advocate at one point but as it turned out, that was fully my misunderstanding, and as such, at no time was I ever talked down to or made to feel "less than" due to being unable to "get it". There were daily interactions with Environmental Services, Nutrition and Engineering (and Maintenance?). I'm sure Social Services was there, too, at some time. At no time did any personnel respond in such manner as to cause me to feel further stigmatized over being in isolation and were exceptionally sensitive. I'm trying to find something harsh to say, but I just didn't have that experience. WTG NKCH! EVERYONE DESERVES DAISIES!

Efficient and thorough medical staff with positive attitudes and a genuinely caring approach to our family.

Went to ER and took them 10 minutes just to ask me if I had been helped. One lady was too busy conversing with a frequent flyer who was obviously a regular to their ER to care about anyone else. They had a 2 hour wait on their triage alone. Ended up leaving and going to St. Luke's for an emergency appendectomy. North KC was too busy treating flu patients and non-emergency people. Completely ridiculous. How about you open an Emergency, emergency room and leave the flu patients and worry worts in their own little section. St Luke's said I was lucky I got there when I did. North KC is a joke.

Best Hospital, In the Area . With Good Nurses.

I had a horrendous experience at this ER Tuesday morning . I'm prone to severe drug-resistant kidney infections, and was having unbearable pain that I knew already was a kidney infection. The doctor never even touched me - didn't palpate my stomach, didn't listen to my heart and lungs, didn't tap my back. I've gone through this enough to know what to expect, and I didn't receive any of the care I needed. I checked my medical record this morning and found that, despite being given my history and my urinalysis coming back normal, the doctor prescribed antibiotics anyway without even ordering a urine culture to confirm the presence of infection. When I called, any number of excuses were made, but I'm a medical professional myself and as far as I'm concerned there's no excuse for this, especially with my history of drug resistance and the rise of drug resistance everywhere. Frankly, it's just negligent. I'm sure I'll have another one of these infections, because I get them every few months, but you can be absolutely certain I'll never return to this ER.

Currently have been sitting in the NKC emergency room for over two hours with my PREGNANT fiancé. She's complained of severe stomach pain accompanied with vomiting all day, and called her OB (At NKC) twice and left messages. She never got a call back so we went to the ER. She's been sitting here crying since. If we knew wait times would be "around 3 hours" we would've went somewhere who would help. If this is how this hospital acts when my wife goes into labor, we want nothing to do with this place. Only rating 1 of 5 because ZERO isn't an option. Edit. 3 hours later we're in the room. Dr comes in and starts poking and prodding on her stomach. Asking if there's a chance she could be pregnant. We tell him she's 20 weeks and he asks where her OB is. Wouldn't he know all this information if he looked at the file? He asks if she's ever had a urine infection. She says yes but this isn't it. He nods and leaves. We didn't drive 40 minutes and wait over 3 hours to get a false diagnosis. Worse than any other ER I've ever attended.

I love this Hospital. Everytime I go there they have carring Dr. And nurses. North Kansascity is one of the best Hospital around. So please don't turn into these places! Center point and Belton and research are the 3 worse Hospitals ever seen. Dr.s Are mean nurses are stuck up snotty and just rood and disrespectful. Not to menchin center point is completely un sanitary they actually try to give me a Iv in the middle of hallway!!

They couldn't diagnose allergies, fail to run my insurance and are charging me above my deductible and disregarding my payments on the bill. Zero service and billing issues.

I was amazed, there was very little wait time in there er. We were seen fairly quickly. His situation was pretty serious, concern was a possible blood clot. The doctor seemed to think oral antibiotics was the answer. He was made his diagnosis pretty quickly, then we were on our way with a prescription. I do wonder if he throughly check the meds list based on the prescription he gave us. No drug interaction or anything like that, just sort of a duplication. Overall a necessary visit, and someone that is critical, I would give them 3 1\2 stars out of 5, well 4 out of 5.

If you want to die then go here. This place is ran like a business instead of a hospital. Unless it's something simple like a cold, you might as well just walk off a cliff. They will delay your care and do whatever makes them more money.
