Every hosptial has it's ups and downs 5/23/2006

Every business has it's up and downs and KMC probably has the worst reputation in town as in taking forever, etc BUT my own experiences there have been positive. My doctor sent me here when I was almost 9 months pregnant with my first son because he was worried about me and the baby. While I did have to wait a while, I was attended to and treated kindly. What was a scary experience was made easier by the staff at KMC. more

not the best hospital 11/14/2005

I have been to KMC a small handful of times. The amount of time you have to wait in the ER here is ludicrous, so I'm thankful I have insurance now and don't have to go here. Anyhow, I had my first daughter here at KMC. I was in pain, obviously as I was having contractions and the nurse threatened to kick me out if I didn't be quiet since I wasn't fully dilated. Well right after that they checked me and said I was ready to have the baby. Bah! Evil nurse. After that I didn't really have any problems, but nothing was outstanding. more

Kern Medical Center 9/5/2005

I have never personally been a patient here. But I have visited friends in here and the staff is really great. They help you find what you need and they answer all questions that you have within limits. They are very professional and respectful. I would feel very comforatable being in here myself. The doctors all seem to be very wonderful. more
