  10. The nurses were extremely rude and unhelpful. Every time I had a question they said “I don’t know, ask someone else.” But no one there could tell me anything. Extremely frustrating.

  11. Worst hospital i ever been too had my son there service was so poor i took my son to the emergency room today an they didnt even take my infant son seriously when they didnt even ask if he had a fever he is a new poor they dont even care

  12. Dr.Heideri and Dr.Dickey saved my life in 2012, I’m forever greatful, I had been to several hospitals and wanted to give up,well I was diagnosed with CNS cocci valley fever on my brain in 2011, I felt like life was over till I came here …

  13. Terrible emergency room.. they got backed up with their doctor but the nurses had down time in the front, didn’t have the respect to tell patients that have been waiting for hours about the issue, instead patients have to approach them and beg to be seen.

  14. An absolute disaster! Avoid this terrible, outrageously expensive hospital. By far these has been the filthiest building I’ve ever been in. Make sure to take nose plugs and extra hand sanitizer if you happen to go.

  15. Have been waiting for hours and nobody cares and check up on my daughter I was asking and someone said ask the RN so I was still waiting for someone to come but nobody everyone just passes by but when asked how long same answer ask the RN so how long until someone comes to see my daughter who is really ill

  16. Labor and delivery is a joke!6 days in this room and no housekeeping.Seems like every other nurse is good,the others have attitudes change nurse Jennifer was the worst,she thinks she’s a doctor!

  17. The organization there is horrible. If i could go somewhere else i would. The care is ok but it broke my heart when my four year old had to get her arm reset they gave her nothing. Then the doctor got mad at her for crying. Horrible.

  18. I really like kmc hospital because I honestly believe that if it wasn’t for them I would have lost my little girl they did everything right and also explained in detail exactly what they were gonna do so i definitely made the right choice …

  19. I like the personnel, but just to get appointments scheduled for my medical needs, it’s like pulling teeth. Also if you’re under TRICARE I’d look elsewhere, they are NOT helpful to service members and their families. I’m looking for alternatives myself, but to wrap it up, it sucks dealing with their bs and the process.

  20. This hospital is very dirty and has many homeless people chilling outside the er room . I have nothing against them but some get very aggressive when you don’t want to give them money. Most of the staff is very rude.

  21. You go with ligit pain they will give you something strong enough to kill it , then tell you that they don’t prescribe it for your pain then tell you that they’ll prescribe ibuprofen then tell you that you can buy it otc. And if your still having pain come back for another dose of the good stuff,total ripoff….

  22. Horrible experience! Nurses are very rude and condescending. Had to get a Hepatitis A shot for college and they stabbed my arm with the needle, full force. It got infected the next day.

  23. They’re alright, the stupid lady at medical legal sucks ass, she doesnt even listen she just wants to be free of people so her fatass could be on her smartphone allday, stupid useless lady didnt help me out one bit, ahe should get fired !! …

  24. Had my daughter her on April 5th I had such an amazing experience even with an emergency c section I literally am thankful I had the best nurses an doctors with my stay here !!!

  25. I was born at this hospital it made me the person who I am and I am grateful for the staff who gave my mom the hand to deliver me it was tough but she made it through and I would like to say thank you card and medical hospital! I am also 30 years old now it’s been 30 years and I wanted to reach out and just say thank you

  26. The fat lady in the front in the er is rude af, the doctors rarely check on the patients, it stinks in the waiting room, too many homeless people hanging out using the restrooms! Hella rude to hispanics “I don’t speak Spanish!!” I DONT recommend this hospital at all!!!

  27. i dont even know of it deserves a star. 2 weeks ago we had a horrible car accident and they didnt want to see us yhey didnt bother to check on my baby since im pregnant aor on my 3 yr old since she wasnt crying! they gave me and family a horrible service….

  28. She laid in ER for 3 days with a broken left hip in pain, no one knows anything can’t get any answers from anyone. and dozens of people coming in asking the same questions. If at all possible I would not want to go there and I will not let her go there again.
    Larry her husband

  29. my boyfriend was a patient there with a broken leg and broken arm ,had to have five surgeries, thanks for taking good care of him,keeping him pain free cleaning him up when needed and most of all kept him alive… even though the stupid cops is the ones that did this to him!!!!!!

  30. I rate the hospital of the best because it is 1 of the best, and not just because they save my life 12 1/2 years ago. And a former nurse. I know that the local county hospital is always related the worst. However where do you think most of …

  31. I needed a simple “IV” due to dehydration and they expected me to wait an hour to two hours!!! ridiculous. I was in so much pain I couldn’t stand to be there. The nurses were rude as well.

  32. Great care during my emergency visit. However, they had me covered me on medical for the visit and also covered me on medical for a month after the visit…then billed me? Obviously, there is a poor administration system and I cannot seem to get through on the phone to correct the problem.

  33. This is the worst hospital ever. The staff and nurses were rude and impatient. Couldn’t answer any questions I was asking and she the doctor said I can take the neck brace off, she REFUSED even though she knew I was in pain. I hate this hospital and definitely do NOT suggest anyone to go there.

  34. I would never recommend going to KMC ever for any reason whatsoever. They will literally let you die before they actually see you. Doctors and nurses have become desensitized and it’s just horrible it’s the worst feeling in the world.

  35. My brother in law was stabbed and after waiting for 4 hours had to walk out because the doctors refused to treat him. All they did was give him gauze not even a single pain pill. This is ridiculous do not come here ever if you value your life.

  36. When I went in I told them I did not want to do any tests because I didn’t have insurance or a job to cover the costs of the bills. They still ran some blood test, I was there for HOURS and that’s all they did and now I owe 4,350 in bills …

  37. Don’t waste your time going to emergency. I spent 8 hours there only for them to discharge me with what I already knew. I had pain and numbness ,and they told me to “get rest”. No scans or tests whats so ever. Sadly Disappointed. Not even one star is deserved by them.

  38. If I could give this place zero stars I would! I have a a surgery scheduled here twice in one month the have cancelled! The first time the only reason I got was the dr just can’t and then they can me back on a Tues and tell me to be there …

  39. They saves my life!!!! San Joaquin refused blood transfusion 2 days in a roll. When I finally went to kmc everyone from registration, insurance, transportation, CNA, nurses, dietary, Dr, gyn, housekeeping, imaging, phlebos and every one in …

  40. I love the place now. They have really gotten there stuff together there now. I mean the emergency room use to take all day matter what. They have reorganized there processing and Everytime I’ve gone there they have gotten me right in and …

  41. The staff at KMC are completely incompetent. Had a broken shoulder for 6 months before I started getting treatment. All of my appointments were getting postponed for no reason. The staff gave me wrong addresses and times for appointments on 3 different occasions

  42. It was nice didn’t really know what to expect at the psychiatric department . Put the phone up stated who I was picking up rung the ph up. Waited a few min. Recalled an someone stated there n out. My first visit o was helped M about 30 seconds. ( this the wk) This is the weekend an I’m still waiting for the payient

  43. I don’t have a clue how this place has 3 Stars. This is by far, the worst hospital I have ever been to in my life and it should be shut down or at the very least have whatever government funding it receives stripped from them. I recently …

  44. This hospital has been here for many, many years! They know the routine personalized to fit any need upon admission! They are the “BEST” at it! It is a “teaching” hospital! You are not just diagnosed by one Dr. they have many! You can be “confident” that you will receive the BEST CARE possible! That makes all the difference to me!!

  45. This place has the worst service. I had an 8 am appointment. At 11:30 I left after not being seen yet. A patient with an 8:30 appointment was in and out before I was called. Another patient with an 8am appointment arrived after 10:30 and …

  46. Bad place to deliver a baby horrible nurse service and you share room they tread you like if you have no opinion they just come and order you what to do with out asking if you agree to do something I didn’t like the service at this place

  47. I dont even know were to start with this place I am just appalled and upset with how my family member was treated, and on the way this place runs. My mother in law was admitted to the ER. She was left on a Gurnee in the hallway with tons of …

  48. The new ortho clinic is a JOKE! Came in for an appt at 8:30am, it’s 10am and still waiting all the while watching walk ins go in before us, people with appts after us are going in before us! Completely inexcusable! Not to mention desk help is frustrated and Rude with people getting upset over the situation!

  49. I was amazed. Staff are top notch. From the ladies in the Cafeteria who are always going out of thier way to to make you feel welcome to the staff who clean the room and the security staff who help you find that hidden bathroom on the …

  50. The care I received was great. From the moment I stepped into the ER for Hyperemesis, the quick and understanding care which is rarely found when dealing with HG. The nurses and doctors were very kind. I will deduct a star for the fact that …

  51. My husband was transferred here to get a surgery done and I am by far angry with this hospitals staff specifically yesterday afternoons staff. My husband was alone and while I got our children taken care of so I could make the trip over to …

  52. Horrible experience with the staff, from receptionist to doctor to accounting. The doctor had scheduled me 5 visits total to see what was wrong with me, one visit she didn’t show up for (I took off work to go, no phone call to cancel) and …

  57. Went in to fourth floor feeling very sick while pregnant around 2pm on Thursday. I told them all my symptoms and how I felt (couldn’t hold down food and liquids). They took me in the maternity unit asked again what was wrong and monitored …

  58. I had surgery here about a month ago and when I woke up from surgery I was in so much pain, I had no way of telling the nurse I needed more pain meds. But I figured out if I tapped the metal bed rails long enough it got their attention. …

  59. The place was filthy. The bathroom floor was so sticky I thought my shoes were going to come off. I had to pick up trash just to sit down in the patient room. The staff was unprofessional. There was no radiologist on staff. How does a …

  60. they left me on the bed semi conscious for 10 hours didnt find anything and i am still sick. the are really unporfessional. one of them was watching makeup tutorials and just made fun of patients and yelled at them and the lady was very scared and nervous too much buffonery.

  62. This hospital is a much-needed safety net for the many people in the local community who lack health insurance and money. I will be forever thankful for those who provided care to my family member. Nonetheless, it seems as if some nurses, …

  63. Some bad experience at the nicu unit. It depends on the shifts. The later night nurses seem nicer and respectful. The Sunday nurse’s forget about it. They are rude loud lazy and disrespectful. Had breast milk for my son that my wife forgot …

  65. My dad was airlifted to this hospital 2 and a half weeks ago. This facility is the worst place you could ever leave a loved one. The entire place is crawling with transients. The building is disgusting. The medical staff is below par also. …

  66. Beware of the behavioral health unit at KMC. Dr. Patty, social worker Carla and her clinical director Laura were the worst people you will deal with if you ever take an issue to the supervisor of behavioral health. They used a complaint …

  83. Who sends a patient home with a broken back and no pain meds? This hospital! 😡 I wish I could say I was pleased with the level of care my mother received at this hospital but it was woefully inadequate. Rude staff, incompetent system and totally disorganized. She had a handful of good nurses that took care of her. …

  84. Hygiene is filthy throughout rooms and there isn’t a bathroom in room or a shower.There is no privacy & as far as the nurses out of all of them involved only two were doing a great job the rest had know idea how to be compassionate and protect the patients privacy.

  85. the nurses are so rude for the emergency room, i asked them when are they gonna be able to attend my uncle, their response was “i don’t know i’m not a doctor” not only that they picked who to attend, aka white people. they let them pass while others had to wait even if they been waiting longer

  86. The amount of people on here that say bad stuff about the security is a joke. They have rules to follow and because some of you don’t like it you cry and leave bad reviews. Hospital has some of the rudest people walk through those doors and expect to get away with disrespect or being hands on. Not how that works. Lol.

  92. Coming from out of state to pick up a sick relative. Called to get some information and being transferred around in circles! No one even says hello, or acknowledges what I am asking for they just transfer and transfer. I can’t belive a medical institution treats people like this!

  93. Worst hospital ever. I’m at the beginning of a lawsuit over the actions and treatment that I received. I was physically assaulted by several female nurses and at least 3 male security guards. Nurse put her hands around my neck and choked me …

  98. I have been waiting for 5 hours, on abdominal and lower back pain and temperature. Urine test came out showing an UTI and they still doing nothing. The only thing to do here is waiting and hearing Hospital stuff laughing and being totally indifferent on patients pain and suffering. The worst emergency room I know until now.

  102. If I could give zero stars I would. I came in at 11am with an order from my doctor to have an induction done. I started having contractions and the wait time turned out to be 12-16 HOURS!!!! I am not exaggerating this. You are better off …

  103. I like this hospital because all the nurses are very friendly. Reason i didn’t give a 5 star was because after 9pm they lock all exits the only way out is the emergency room. But before that you need to go pass many secure exits. Its just a …
