The Birth Center is a very impressive facility. It presents a really comfortable environment and the staff is top notch! The care is exceptional, the design is upscale, and the baby are welcomed in the best way possible...

I can't say enough good things about this place if you are having a baby. My daughter was premature and their NICU staff is amazing. So caring and driven to help children. I have two kids and they were both born here. One was premature (totally fine now) and the other was a full term baby. Although having a baby early is rough, the staff was outstanding. The staff was great for regular full term births too. If you are having a baby - go here! Their facilities are excellent as well, their cafeteria actually has good food.

My husband had an emergency appendectomy here on a weekend. The care was excellent!!! They took great care of my husband and could not have been nicer. Our surgeon Dr Wilder was excellent and kind. My husband went home the very next day and felt great! We even spent the afternoon at a friend’s house then drove home to St Louis. True story. Our nurse Sonni couldn’t have been sweeter and also very competent and knowledgeable. Hospital was very clean and quiet. If you like to watch TV, great cable with separate movie selections. So even though we spent our vacation weekend in KC in the hospital at Shawnee Mission, it was still a great weekend! All of our friends we planned to visit, came to see us at the hospital instead.

I have never left a review for a hospital but this one is well earned. Dr Pazdernik was amazing. I came to the hospital 7 months pregnant and her and the staff took great care of me. They went above and beyond to meet my needs for both health and comfort .Very understanding and positive team!

The ER waiting area had several areas and even a few couches. They were very attentive. The staff worked well together and the Doctor was knowledgeable. They actually listen to the patient and did everything they could to accommodate me. Best hospital experience ever!!

My father was brought to the emergency room for dementia symptoms that included a few minutes when he passed out. I found that the nurse that helped us in the emergency room was excellent. The tests were run and No issues were found. The doctors wanted to admit him to the hospital for further tests. I expressed my opinion that someone with dementia will become even more agitated when in an unfamiliar environment. That is what happened. I was asked to come back to the hospital and keep him calm because the calming medications were not working quickly enough. After two hours, the medications had not helped his anxiousness. A physician was contacted and after waiting for his arrival, he denied any more medication. That is one thing. After talking with him for a few minutes it became obvious to me that this Dr. had not even read his chart. That is not acceptable. I think that doctors should actually have charts and facts before deciding on medications. The nurses were wonderful. The doctors lacking in knowledge and professionalism. Also, issue with admitting a 96 year old with dementia after all tests came back with no findings was not the right call in my opinion.

We would like to recommend to everyone Prairie Star Emergency room and Shawnee Mission Medical Center because the excellent care we received!!!! We were in the KC area from Arizona visiting family when my husband required emergency care. At Prairie Star emergency room he was seen within 5 minutes of arriving and treatment began soon after (on a Saturday night)! The ER physician at Prairie Star quickly diagnosed the problem and began necessary treatment! Our nurse Cathryn was wonderful!!!! She put us at ease with a balance of exceptional, efficient nursing skills as well as compassionate care of not only my husband (the patient) but my daughter and I as well. Cathryn’s gentle sense of humor put us at ease right away!!! She kept us well informed at all times! The transfer to Shawnee Mission Medical Center was seamless! At Shawnee Mission Medical Center we saw Dr. Wood, Oral surgeon early the next morning and continuing treatment was set up before we even left the hospital! Everyone was amazing! The hospitalist physicians we saw were kind and thorough!!! The nursing staff and support staff provided excellent care! When my husband ordered food after not eating for quite some time, the food arrived within 5 minutes!!!! Discharge was quick and easy!!!! We are so grateful to everyone to Prairie Star ER and Shawnee Mission Medical Center for their wonderful care.

My husband came to the Shawnee Mission medical center quite delicate of his heart and immediately the attention was successful and excellent. Dr. Robbins and his team work the best! Jim, the night nurse from the 5th floor, and Melissa. The day nurse are excellent professional, dedicated and careful, explaining to the patient all his doubts. very grateful to everyone for their dedication and professionalism in such difficult times for us.

Love the new cafeteria! The staff has always been so nice to me whenever I've been there. I went today and stopped at the cafeteria before going home and it looks great. Food was good. I enjoyed my visit there.

Dr. Carlo Jurani saved my husband's life. The best Doctor I've ever met! He is very nice, approachable, down to earth, very patient person(Doctor). The best surgeon, very smart and very professional. He took good care of my husband during his surgery and after surgery. I am very grateful to God for him and all the staffs of Shawnee Mission Medical Center. They're great people! I am really glad that Dr. Carlo Jurani is my husband's surgeon. He is amazing Doctor. Thank you very, very much Shawnee Mission Medical Team for everything! God bless all of you! ❤❤❤

For the birth of my first baby and for our stay at the birth center at SM, I can honestly say I have zero complaints. I never thought I would be able to say that about my birthing experience! But my nurse(s) helped immediately put me at ease and ensure I had everything I needed, when I needed it and sometimes when I didn’t even know I needed it! I also have experience with the ER at SM and I can say that they were able to get me in quickly seen within minutes of walking in the door.

My husband was recently hospitalized for 3 days with an infection. He was on the 3rd floor and I was very pleased with both nurses he had for the first 2 days. Susan and Lily were great, very thorough and knowledgeable. They also always made sure I was comfortable and didn't need anything and if I did had no problem getting it for me. Their Assiatants were also very pleasant and helpful as well. On the day he was discharged he had Jen and she did an awesome job as well we just didn't get to spend as much time with her as we did the other nurses. I felt comfortable in knowing if I wasn't there they would give me any details or changes that happened while I was gone. Being in the hospital is not the best feeling but knowing how well taken care of he was def helped ease my worries. He saw several doctors during his stay and they also were great and thorough and made sure that my husband and myself knew what was happening and when it would be happening. Thank you to the Shawnee Mission Medical Staff for everything you did over the last 3 days for my husband.

I had the pleasure of spending almost a week on the 6th floor at this Hospital. I had one amazing nurse by the name of Jennifer she work days and then just seem to know how to deal with me because sometimes I can be a little difficult. The food was not bad, the rooms were fairly clean, the overall staff was nice enough. I had a couple accidents while I was staying there that I do not feel we're attended to probably the way they should have been. But overall the experience wasn't too bad.

This is one of the most beautiful hospitals I have ever visited. The staff here is so friendly and helpful as well. It can be hard to find your way around this facility, though I have found that to be a good way to find cool additions to make this a place of refreshment as well. This hospital is faith based and open about it. You will find people to pray with if you are wanting that in your healing process. The chaplains are amazing here and represent a broad spectrum of faiths.

We were called and informed our surgery had been rescheduled for 9am and to be here at 7am. They come in at 9am, after prepping my wife for surgery, to tell us it will be at 11:30. It's now 12:30, her original time, and we are still waiting. Your time means absolutely nothing to anyone here! Update...I was tracked down while still in the hospital and given a face to face apology and an explanation. Seemed genuinely apologetic. Offered me a free meal, I declined, but appreciated the follow up.
