Kenmore Mercy Hospital: "I waited 3 hours had to leave because I had to catch 2 busses home and it was Sunday. I left work early and went to Kenmore mercy emergency room, very ill. Rashes were popping up and I have several medical issues. Was never seen,busses were going to stop running I would have been stuck. The nurses at the counter that take your name and insurance roll their eyes at you,very rude,only nice to certain people. Talked over me and cut me off several times while trying to explain what was going on. The lady that called me in to take my blood pressure she had really short hair. But she was very nice and let me talk. Other 3 at front desk kinda sat there or just walked around. That's ridiculous. " - Andrea

Kenmore Mercy Hospital: "Waiting in the ER . Upon arrival the check in person was absolutely unconcerned of the level of pain I was in. Never offered a wheelchair for an injury which required one until I asked. Made me stand to sign paperwork when I could no longer. I have checked the online wait times throughout the three hour time frame which I have been here. The times never change. The check in/ registration individual is more concerned about what is on the television stations than being accommodating or assisting other patients. Laughing and joking with security while changing channels. ER is filling and people are going nowhere fast. Shameful the behavior of wait room staff. Checked in, registered and waiting three hours now and counting." - Marcia

Kenmore Mercy Hospital: "I am very displeased with how the staff were not ACTIVE listening to patients. I was in pain for an hour and a half due to circumstances beyond my control. I was then past my breakthrough pain,and the medicine had little to no effect. To make matters worse, I had no clue how to gauge my pain after that, since the pain management was not adhered to. My experience has been pretty rough so far. " - Jessica
