I definitely DO NOT recommend this place to anyone!!!!!
If I could give this place less than one star, I would! I just had to make a choice so I could leave this review. My mother sat in the ER for more than 7 hours! With already low blood, they just kept taking more. Then, they wouldn’t even give her a blanket for the waiting room because she hadn’t been seen by a doctor yet…….(I guess they had to have insurance information to bill.) The clowns at the desk were ignorant and cold to the clients. They truly didn’t care about anyone! The security guards were lazy and dismissive.

Deceptive billing practices
They send surprise invoices to you after you already paid at the urgent care facility and then turn you over to collections without any notice that you will receive multiple hundreds of dollars in invoices for a steroid shot. I went in to urgent care with a cold and it costed me 128.00 at the desk and another 536 for a steroid shot. Don't go to Kings daughters unless you can afford 600 bucks to see a doctor.

Please, whatever you do, do not have a surgery done here!!
Sadly, I cannot recommend this hospital to anyone. This hospital forever changed my life and not for the good! In 2022, it was discovered that I had a form of hyperthyroidism and my endocrinologist, Dr. Yang said my only option was to have it removed. I think they like to make you do the surgery bc it’s worth the most money. I did not realize until it was too late. After having the surgery, I immediately didn’t feel well. My calcium started dropping which was supposedly normal, so I was hoping it would get better. They released me as planned and within 24 hrs, I was back at the ER. This went on for days, running back and forth to the ER, waiting for 6 hrs in the waiting room. They should have just readmitted me, rather than making me struggle in the waiting room for hours. I literally felt like I was going to die everyday!!! Well, it turns out, they DESTROYED MY PARATHYROID GLANDS during the surgery. I now have negative parathyroid functioning!! So not only did I lose most of my thyroid, but I lost all of my parathyroid functioning as well. I have struggled greatly ever since this horrendous surgery. I have to take tons of medications each day. I cannot work or do any of the things I did before. My life has been turned upside down. I have severe panic attacks, muscle spasms, twitching, numbness, chest pains, and am extremely sensitivity to cold/hot. I get white stingy spots and pains all over where I am not getting proper blood flow all over. Now KDMC is profiting off of the damage they’ve caused which I will be reporting! I filed a report through the BBB and am working on filing complaints to the medical board. I am also writing other officials.

Should be considered a slaughter house
Literally sat in the er for more than 4 hrs with no treatment and sent home with no help. I had covid and I am hi risk patient and they didn’t even take the time to check in on me just keep calling people back that came in after claiming that my illness wasn’t important enough to be acknowledged. They sent me home with Morton and said get better. I never got put in a room and sat in the lobby passing out from the dizziness I felt. I almost threw up and my whole body ached. They were rude when I called and complained and literally told me that there were more patients more important than me and that I wasn’t a priority. I will never go back to this hospital for emergency services. They don’t care about the patients, they just want a paycheck. Even my family doctor was appalled at how I was treated and the fact that they refused to prescribe me the paxlovid so I could get better. If I could give a 0 I would.

I have never been so humiliated in my life.
KDMC is being call King’s Slaughter by many medical professionals that are associated with KDMC ED. I am a retired RN and did work in ER’s at times. I have never experienced such horrific dangerous, poor, rude treatment in my life. I am 76 and temporarily using a w/c and usually have to call for transport. After arriving at E R one staff member told me to get my “ass” off the carrier. I was in the waiting area quite a while. After I was taken back I had an RN yell at me and threw a plastic bed pan at me when I requested one. i won’t go into several other trips where i was treated the same or worse.? This place has got to be cleaned up (referring to staff) I hope you have a. Very healthy happy life and never have to experience this type of abuse.

Zero stars
Negligent staff. Several infections after getting a procedure done. It's beyond me how the hospital is still operating!

avoid
Avoid this place as much as possible. Then only thing this facility cares about is money. They treat their nursing staff horribly so they all leave. There’s almost no experienced nurses left in the entire hospital. The security is rude, and it’s 50/50 if you get half decent doctor. The billing team is terrible too. They will mess up insurance billing and it requires an act of god for them to listen to you and correct their own mistakes.
