Kootenai Health

All staff were efficient, respectful and down-to-earth. The anesthesiologist, Giselle, asked if I wanted to hold her hand when I was anxious before going under. Her compassion was so unexpected and so very appreciated!!! Specialty care nurse, Brenda, was also fantastic! I was pretty high when I left, so I forget the name of the volunteer who wheeled me out, but she was also great!!! A good experience, overall.

Every experience I have personally had at Kootenai Health has been exceptional! I had an emergency appendectomy this last week- it was scary and I was in a great deal of pain. Every person I came in contact with during the entire day was professional and kind. I felt very safe and well taken care of! Thank you for hiring the best!

I went the ER with chest pains. I was greeted very warmly by the attendant and an RN who admitted me right away and got me back to ER room. I was immediately hooked up to all the necessary monitors and the routine questions were asked. The ER Doc. came after about 10 mins or so and explained what was next. I was in the ER for about 2 hrs then admitted and was taken right to my room. I ate breakfast good food. I had the tests need in a reasonable time, x-rays, stress test, etc. Doctor came in about 2 hrs later and gave me a clean bill of health no blockage no evidence of heart attack. I would recommend Kootenai Health to anyone with an emergency! Thanks to everyone who gave me such good care!

I was totally impressed with the imaging department at Kootenai Health. The staff including the receptionist was very friendly and efficient. I felt very comfortable and relaxed with their care for a breast MRI. I cannot comment on the expediency of receiving the results because it hasn't happened yet. So far, so good with my experience.

Six years ago I had one of my sons here, one year ago I had outpatient surgery there and, this summer, this hospital saved my dad‘s life. Myself and each one of my kids have been treated in the emergency room here and I felt like the doctors knew exactly what they were doing and treated us with care. I have had nothing but positive experiences here. The staff are competent and knowledgeable. I felt well taken care of and saw my dad well taken care of as well I would definitely recommend this hospital and I would go there again.
