Liberty ER Hospital deserves ZERO STARS!!!! Horrible hospital!! They should have admitted me running a 102.6 temp! Nausea, vomiting, severe stomach pains for three days, in addition to running a 101.6 temp. Plus, Liberty Hospital has my previous records, fully well, aware of my medical history issues. Last Friday, 8/4/2017, my Dr. Specialist order me to immediately go to Liberty ER if my fever of 101.6 continued to climb! And my fever did climb to 102.6 temp. At Liberty ER, once admitted, and after receiving an IV for rehydration & bloodwork, Liberty ER Hospital made the decision to send me home that same Friday evening and told me to try & wait until Tues, 8/8/2017, when my Dr. would return home!! Are you serious! Hes the one who ordered me there!! I would have been dead by Tuesday!! Then after a CT Scan, chest xray a nurse came in and handed my friend who drove me there a bunch of papers, which we later discovered where discharge papers and a prescription. Never said we needed to leave. We waited in my ER room for at least another 45 mins when another nurse opened the curtains and slider door, and said, "Oh, youre still here? You are free to go." I told her, you guys said you would send in a guy named Jason to recheck my temp. Can you at least do that? She did, and my fever was still at 102.6. Oh and she advised us that in those discharge papers there was a script. My friend said all the pharmacies were closed. She said, "There is Walgreens on 291 & 152 Hwy in Liberty thats open 24/7 we could get it filled there. Then she walked out!!! I was so weak and delirious from my high fever, & vomiting I would not have been able to walk to get out of the place. My friend had to search for a nurse and request a wheelchair. Finally, a young man who looked to be about the age of 12 or 13, brings in a wheelchair and shows my friend, "This is how you operate the handbrake." Then the kid leaves the wheelchair at the foot of my bed, and walks out our room. We were left there all alone with no assistance to get into the wheelchair and no assistance to show us the way out of the building. We had to ask an ER patient visitor how to get out of the place and we followed her to the ER entrance doors. As we pass the intake desk by the ER doors, my friend had to ask for a barf bag for me to take for my trip back home, as I am throwing my guts up! UNBELIEVABLE! Its now ETA 12:30am Saturday morning and we are driving to Walgreens to fill my script. I wait in the car what seemed like forever, throwing up in the puke bag!!! 2am finally made it home! My friend called my Dr.s assistant early Sat AM and said Liberty had sent me home. The assistant made contact with my Dr. who then ordered me immediately to North Kansas City Hospital ER where they admitted me and kept me for seven (7) days! I was that bad! I would have received better care at Urgent Care or Walgreens Healthcare Center than Liberty ER Hospital!!! I do not care if I am dying I will never go back to Liberty Hospital! Instead, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND to North Kansas City (NCK) Hospital the Gold Standard Hospital! Or even UMKC or even St. Lukes! Go anywhere but Liberty Hospital!!! Stay far far away!

Christmas morning, I woke at 2 a.m. with severe pain in my abdomen. After several hours with no relief, I went to the Emergency Room at Liberty Hospital. The triage nurse quickly checked my vitals, collected the necessary information and got me in a treatment room. My nurses, Cheryl (?) and Rachel, did their best to make me as comfortable as possible until Dr. Barr could exam me and prescribe some pain medication. When it was determined I needed a CT Scan, the technician appeared very promptly and wheeled me in for the scan. On the way back to my room, I commented that I was cold, so he made sure to stop and get me a warm blanket. It was determined that my gallbladder was the culprit and surgery would be necessary. The surgeon on-call, Dr. Beggs, appeared within 10 minutes. He pulled up a stool and talked with me about my options, what I should expect and gave me plenty of time to ask questions. The staff was working Christmas morning, instead of spending time with their families, but every person I encountered during this visit was cheerful and compassionate. I am truly grateful that they willingly sacrificed time with their loved ones to take care of me in my time of need! I highly recommend the Liberty Hospital Emergency Room!!

While my experiences with the emergency room and general hospital have been poor, my stay in the mother/baby and delivery were very very good and I am going to deliver there again in Feb. , Ill explain: I went into the ER because I couldnt breath very well, swallow or talk very well. The doctor did some tests then came back into the room and said that he wanted to do a scan on my throat when my tests came back. When they came back he said I was pregnant, I said um no. He argued with me and said these tests are not wrong. I told him to take more blood and do the test again, he refused, I asked for another Dr. I waited over an hour for another doctor to come, he redid the tests AND looked at the results from the previous Dr. I had Mono. Which apparently is right next to the pregnancy test results so he just mis read it. I got charged a seperate fee for each doctor and each set of tests. They also insisted I stay because of how swollen my tonsils were. I was charged $22,000 for 5 days. When I filed the paperwork for help paying my bills they never called me back. I called 12 times, no one returned my calls. They sent my bill to collections. I recomend the mother/baby section to everyone!! The ER/Hospital not so much!

My wife went to Liberty Hospital while having a near heart attack in 2013. Turns out Dr Bodet put in stints that were far too small which then occluded again, but then he retired. So we got handed off to another cardiologist and a heart surgeon because that cardiologist said she needed bypass surgery, but the heart surgeon turns around and says no, not going to do it, get another stint. Meanwhile her coronary artery is closed again and shes in duress. We end up having to go to St Lukes to try and keep her healthy. Meanwhile, Liberty Hospital REFUSES any payment arrangements in lieu of the full balance due after insurance, and so they referred us to a nasty debt collector and ruined our credit not 25 days after the procedure. NEVER GO HERE if you are having cardiac troubles. Most shamefully, neither the cardiologist nor the surgeon suggested we try a major facility like St Lukes, it was just too bad so sad and get this -- the cardiologist thought she might get lucky and be able to withstand the CORONARY ARTERY occluding again and the body "might" be able to work around this. Are you kidding me???
