Parkland Health Center Reviews ( 120 )

  1. This place is garbage, sat for an hour after puking blood for 3 hours just to walk out cuz they kept calling insured people back before me cuz there symptoms are worse, since when is puking blood not important. I will be filling for this hospital to be shut down due to male practice

  2. What a nightmare. Went in with severe shortness of breath. Nurse didn’t even run an Ekg strip & pushed me off into a section of the waiting room where I was left with no one to keep an eye on me. After sitting there gasping for breath for …

  3. This hospital is ridiculous! That have no respect for the mentally ill clients that come through there. They are very degrading and intentionally leave them waiting longer than others. Bedside manners from the patient check-in is horrible.

  4. I changed to parkland and I’m glad I did. Dr Mberonye is amazing. She is the only doctor that has been patient enough and willing to help me get my diabetes addressed. She listens and even has checked up on me twice via MyChart. Never have …

  5. This hospital does not care for its patients. My primary doctor at parkland retired, and I was given no notice that I needed to find another primary, or to transfer my patient files to another hospital. …

  6. I gave birth here and I was very well taken care of by the OB staff! The nurses really know there stuff and we’re very supportive in answering all my new mommy concerns and questions. I couldn’t have done it all without them. I really …

  7. They told me they’d call me for lab results 3 days ago!!! I’ve called and left messages. Waited. Still nothing. It won’t even let you talk to an actual person! Only recordings >:( very angry!!!!

  8. The wait time in the emergency room is way too long. Since they bought out Mineral area hospital which was much cheaper and better, they now have a monopoly in St. François county. I miss Mineral area hospital because they never inflated …

  9. My wife and I had our first son at Parkland. I cant say enough about Dr. Kumar’s office, OB staff, and all that had a hand in our stay. Even the maintenance man who fixed a squeaky door so it didn’t wake the baby. Professional, …

  10. I prefer Parkland over any other in the area. Next best would be St.Louis.
    People at Parkland do not make you feel dumb or like just another patient either. …

  11. Wow. What a well oiled machine!!
    From Evan in registration, to Harley, my nurse after surgery, and everyone in between, were so extremely kind, efficient, and professional. I can’t thank you …

  12. Er department is sub par at best. They provide absolutely zero compassion towards the patient and or family. They completely disregard all pain patients, even before the “opioid crisis “. The staff is completely judgemental and …

  13. First off let me say if I could give a minus review I would because believe me a One is much too generous….it insinuates some kind of ok and there is no ok with this place or the service we received. My 7 month old granddaughter was …

  14. Spent 4 hours in the ER for the doctor to only to tell me i got a sunburn not 1st degree burn on my fingers then that same doctor writes a script for silver sulfadiazine cream. Worst place ever

  15. I had to go to Parkland for a planned Tubal ligation with Dr. Kumar. I was very nervous but the nurses were wonderful, kind and caring. Dr. Kumar did a great job and i can’t say enough to praise him, the nurses at the outpatient surgery and his staff. I would highly recommend Parkland to anyone. Thank you!

  16. Great staff from nurses to intake to janitorial. There can be a wait at times in the ER, being this is the only Emergency Room for the area.
    Ive been an in-patient as well as ER patient and had out patient surgery as well …

  17. Have been here several times. Poor care and a lot of attitude. Ive been called a liar twice and had to go to other hospitals. Last time i was there I was pregnant and on extreme pain and scared because i was only 22 weeks along. The nurse came in every hour or more and we waited for 5 hours for them to tell us nothing.

  18. Might as well stay home and hope you don’t die, oh and expect random bills that are for stuff they didn’t do for you. The docs are awful instead of trying to help you they’re money hungry!

  19. Very very bad hospital. I came in with the fear of a miscarriage and the nurse comes in and says ur pregnancy test was negative so do u want to go home? I said no i came in here for two things. I gave severe back pain as well. I drove 30 …

  20. Horrible. If you are in any pain. Even if your disabled like me. They just throw you out the door. Go somewhere else if you need help. Matt Kassin my nurse practionor was condescending and pompous for a nurse. Run run

  21. Worst hospital I’ve ever been to. I was admitted for pancreatitis and SVT. Nurses are rude and there doesn’t seem to be enough of them. The doctors at this facility aren’t much better. They say one thing and then do the other. Save your time and go to actual Barnes if you can.

  22. Excellent care, friendly staff, pleasant experience. Dr explained in detail how he was going to correct problem. Dr called cardiologist and orthopedic surgeon and arranged follow-up surgery/procedures. Very satisfied with patient care and pain management.

  23. Been here for at least 5-6 hours waiting on the er to contact another hospital to find a dr that can do surgery on my wife. Every 2 hours they pop in and say oh nothing yet while my wife is throwing up because the pain is so bad. No sense …

  24. The place is a joke, there was 2 people in the waiting room and my wife that is pregnant was having bad cramps and was bleeding after only being only 2 weeks pregnant waited 2 hours to be seen so we chose to leave and go to another hospital.

  25. The staff is amazing, and it’s such a friendly environment. Dr. Borchers heard that I was without a doctor since my last one suddenly retired without early notice.. And she personally came to the room that I was waiting in just to meet me, …

  26. Just had to take my injured son to the E.R. on a Saturday evening and the parking area was nearly full. Expecting a long wait I was pleasantly surprised. From the time we entered it was very efficient, check in, vitals, diagnosis and …

  27. Awful. My wife was sent there Thursday evening. Someone told me they would contact me when she got transferred to another facility. NOBODY called. A nurse FINALLY figured out where she went. Disturbed and disgusted at the lack of care and unprofessionalism.

  28. Worse hospital in the county do not recommend taking yourself here or your loved ones they do not care about there patients they play favoritism they are rude and take there time in the ER I strongly recommend festus where they actually care!

  29. The care that I get from my doctor and nurse is excellent. I can’t see me going anywhere, unless they decide to open an office else where. I have not had an encounter with anyone that was negative.

  30. Been to this hospital 3 time I’m a year and the service always takes forever. I’d rather drive to st louis and still make it home faster then going to my towns local hospital.. I personally go to perryville over this place

  31. Literally the worst hospital I have ever been to. Came in not able to catch my breath and they didn’t care, after waiting 3 hours in the waiting room with only 1 other person there I left and went to Mercy in Festus. Parkland is a joke.

  32. Had the best experience while here. Was here working on a security contract and they made sure that my officers and I were well taken care of and well fed. Hospital Security was very helpful and very courteous. Definitely will return for work and in, god forbid, a dire time of need.

  33. September 16 I was there from ,12:30 until 4:00 have acute bronchitis can you believe they had me in mental, convict room for 3 hrs yes I was horrified!!! Unsanitary conditions finally NP came in hmmm guess they didn’t tell him I was …

  34. Some of the staff could use more training and their are some good doctors there…one dr saved my kids life… If we as parents would be more cautious in every day life we wouldn’t need the er as often… Granted sometimes things happen… …

  35. This is a very good hospital with good kind people. The only time I’ve had to wait is if there’s a emergency they have to take care of first. And in that case is want to be first too.

  36. I have heard this hospital wasn’t very good and had done my best to avoid it. Well in the face of an emergency situation, unfortunately, I could not avoid it. To my surprise, the staff was wonderful. Very good bedside manner, and quite honestly they saved my life. I have nothing bad to say about this hospital.

  37. do not recommend the er. they will look right past you as you bawl your eyes out in pain, and take back those who are sitting there laughing, joking, and clearly not in any pain whatsoever; and those people will also be the ones who showed up after you.

  38. Been at the emergency room for 5 hours still not seen by a doctor. The lady at the front desk was rude and told me to just wait it out. No one has offered to help us or get anything done.

  39. My uncle has als which means he pretty much paralyzed and can’t do anything for his self the nurses were horrible they had laid him down and he started to choke they refused to help him one nurse broke his gear shift on his wheelchair by …

  40. There are signs throughout the parking lot and front entrances that specify nonsmoking campus. Where is the concern for others? Why does hospital allow people to ignore the signs, policy, and respect for others health? This hospital doesn’t seem to care when employees or staff choose to say nothing.

  41. This is twice now I have had to go to a completely different hospital to find put what’s wrong with me the first time the dr didn’t even touch me but yet they still charged me and told me to go see a chiropractor when it ended up being a …

  42. My wife went there for a kidney stone.They let her lay in the emergency room fo 5 hrs in severe pain.Gave her 2 Tylenol that she promptly threw up.Never saw a dr once and only a couple nurses came in room the whole time.Never ran any test …

  43. I have had horrible service here. I’ve waited for hours and hours for nothing. Some of the nurses don’t seem to care about the patients, there are a few that do. I would recommend go north to a better hospital.

  44. I would NEVER recommend even my worst enemy to endure their pregnancy at this outdated and unethical facility.
    It is overcrowded, the staff is often more rude than polite, and you have very …

  45. To tell the truth I wasn’t impressed going in. But because of the woman(nurse?) At admitting and the night lab supervisor I was not only able to get the Covid-19 test but was able to get it without them showing any orders for it from Barnes …

  46. Came into the er for my arm, currently has been 3 hours. I waited an hour for the physician to even walk into my room. When physician came into my room and not even 30 seconds later received a call and left. The second time she came into my …

  47. severe asthma, they released me. 5 minutes down the road i had a severe asthma attack, car accident and refused to be taken back there. this hospital will not help you. they shouldn’t have released me, i told them i had chest pain and had …

  48. I brought my mom in this evening at 10:13 pm with chest pains. It is now 2:09 am and we haven’t even seen a nurse or doctor in over an hour. The nurses are all sitting at the nurses desk cackling like a bunch of hens! Need to make your patients your priority not gossip hour!

  49. Went to the ER today because my daughter sprained her ankle and would like to appreciate everyone who gave care for her today, they were all very kind and cheerful which made her more comfortable. She was very grateful for the excellent care experience she received. Thank you, PHC FAMILY! You’re all real heroes.💚 …

  50. Parkland Hospital Emergency is terrible, waited for hrs. They were so busy and beds were full. Once getting treated, staff was wonderful and caring. Except the wait, would’ve gave 5 stars.

  51. My wife and I recently went to the ER at Parkland. Due to my wife needing mental health services immediately. I spoke with her primary care doctor and her case worker and they told us the fastest way to talk to a psych doctor was to go to …

  52. I came to the er twice the first day we waited 10 hours and still did not get to see the provider. The second day I have waited over 7 hours told them I had a massive headache and they told me there is nothing they can do except have the …

  53. This place is a joke! It is a literal circus was there for 5 hours only to not speak to a doctor and not tell me anything at all besides I didn’t have a heart attack (I wasn’t being seen for a heart attack so this wasn’t news to me). Nurse …

  54. My husband and I absolutely love Parkland Hospital. He recently had colon cancer surgery and the staff was so wonderful. They are compassionate, well informed and care about what they are doing.

  55. This place is absolutely horrible. My mother in law was in there. First night ok, second night the staff, just plain rude. Especially the one nurse that told my mother in law, in front of her daughter, the nurse said, to my mother in law, …

  56. The staff in the mental health ward make fun of the patients and you know if they are doing that then they are abusing them. I actually know some of the staff and ya they talk about the patients to other people they know away from work! …

  57. Took a friend to the ER for a swollen leg. Her Cardiologist sent her there. They didn’t ask about medications or past health history. Triage tried to order an ultrasound but was told no. Get her back after a 6 hr wait. Nurses nor …

  58. This place is a joke. Set in the e.r. for an hour. And still haven’t been seen. Staff are scarce in the e.r. waiting room after 11pm. Hope it’s nope a REAL emergency.

  59. Although there were a few staff here that seemed caring, there were also some who did not. And the wait times are out of this world ridiculous. A family member had been rushed by ambulance…hours later I went up to check on him and found …

  60. I was seeing an OB Dr at parkland and had two misscarages, he figured out why I was having them and helped me get thru my last pregnancy without complications. He was the best! Anytime I was the slightest big worried he would tell me to …

  61. Apparently no one really works here, because out of all the nurses and doctors walking past my mom’s room, none of them can actually come in the room and help her even though we’ve been here over 4hrs. This place has really went down hill, such a joke!

  62. The parking lot is awful. If you’re not handicapped, you’ll walk 2 miles to get to the building. Communication seems to be a big problem. When you see someone, or have any type of appointment, you’re told that someone will call you with …

  63. Hospital staff in emergency room are impossible to find, don’t check on patients. The front desk lady was a narcissist who one upped my wife’s health condition. Who does that? In an emergency room of all places, your health is more important and worse than hers? Really? Very unprofessional and disorganized hospital.

  64. Some great doctors and medical team but administrative records management group really don’t have same interest in patients interests as a priority. My wife called as for her test results be faxed to St Louis cardiologist said will do next …

  65. The staff is extremely slow and have a horrible attitude and bedside manner in the Emergency Department. Now I understand why it is called Parkland Health Center and not Parkland Hospital. It’s not a hospital it’s a joke. My girlfriend was …

  66. They were great to my mom. Helped comfort her and find the issues. Got her admitted promptly. Afterwards got her setup in a swing bed at another hospital. …

  67. Just go to the city. It’s not worth the insane wait times, nor is it worth the incompetence of the doctors/nurses. I advised my pregnant fiancé that we should go to Jefferson Memorial but we settled for Parkland for convenience sake and boy …

  68. I had an ER visit on 12/10/21, and I must say the care I received was extraordinary! The ER was full I had a long wait but you could clearly see they were checking people as quick and safely as possible as their ER beds were full. My exam …

  69. I went to the Bonne Terre hospital for chest pains around 2:00 or so. The dr decided I should be transported to Farmington and be admitted. I waited over 10 hours in an exam room for transportation. After arriving at Farmington sleep …

  70. Was my 1st time at this ER on Memorial Day which was a very busy day. From the time I walked in I was greeted by a pleasant person who checked me in. I was promptly called to get vitals and assessed by a nurse. I had to wait a bit to see …

  71. Went in for surgery Dec 2/20222.Everyone was so nice &very helpful.The only problem was my Wife asked the front desk if they had WIFi and was told no but when we got back in the room were they get you ready for surgery.The Nurses helped my wife get Wi-Fi I want to thank the Nursesfrom Dr Kurzweil very much appreciated

  72. With BJC taking over, this location needs some serious remodeling… very old to be up to BJC standards.
    The new doctors coming in are EXCELLENT. The problem at this hospital is some of …

  73. These people are very very rude, my sister in law is in a lot of pain, in the process of having a baby… every single nurse has been unfriendly and unkind, these nurses don’t say a word when they come in and stay silent through the entire …

  74. The doctor was great but the hospital wasn’t supplied with the stuff the doctor needed to do the procedure the way she wanted it. It was a cist on my but that was inflamed. They said they was going to do a calture on its been 6 days it’s …

  75. This is by far the worst hospital! I took my brother here earlier today most of the staff were completely rude and unprofessional, except for one of the front desk people we had been there from 8am to 2pm before we left and went to another …

  76. They’re always so amazing to me here! I was running a temp over 105 and live in Bonne Terre. Not stopping at that horror house though! They were aware of how high I my temp was so made sure to get me back fairly quick which I appreciate so …

  77. The E.R is so ridiculous.. There is NO way that there is only a few nurses, 1 Dr and 1 nurse practioner on staff at that E.R.. The wait is insane. Sick infants, people waiting for over 6 hours. …

  78. Had a surgery with Dr Cooper (ob/gyn) and had to stay overnight at hospital. My whole experience was great! Staff, nurses and my doctor were excellent! No problems or concerns. I will continue to receive medical care and treatment from this facility.

  79. This hospital emergency room has the very worst bedside manner I’ve ever seen. Their reluctance to diagnose or run tests actually endangered a patient. The front desk lady was all about her own health issues when she should have been …
