Overall the experience was okay. The nurses were very unprofessional in the ED. Three- four nurses took care of me while I was in the ED and only 1 introduced herself. None of them used alcohol wipes to access my IV which is standard practice. I was also receiving IV morphine which is well known to be very harsh on vein and all of them did not dilute the morphine enough. Even when asked to multiple times. I received antibiotics while in the ED and the nurse did not bother to find an IV pump to have them properly drip over half an hr. The staff overall was careless and sloppy. The ED resident was respectful and kind but scared me to death telling me and my boyfriend that they saw an abdominal mass on my CT but would need to repeat the scan first to confirm. The next three hours were agonizing(until the second CT results returned). I sat there wondering how could I have cancer at age 24. Once my diagnosis was confirmed the attending physician came and spoke to me and recommended I stay overnight. The only reason why I stayed was because they were actually able to control my abdominal pain. I stayed overnight reluctantly. Once I finally got to the room on the first floor. The nurse was rude and did not accommodate my boyfriend who stayed with me overnight(no extra pillows or blankets for him) of course I didnt think of it until the next day I was feeling a little better. I told her I was in pain and she told me my next dose of morphine was not until 6:30. I told her I was not able to wait and asked her why it was changed to every four hours from the original order that was every three. She did contact the physician and got an order for breakthrough pain. I later asked for Benadryl because the morphine was making me itchy and she responded there is no order . I told her the resident who put in my orders must of forget because I had already discussed receiving an order for it while in the ED. She never bothered to contact the physician again. I was the easiest patient she had that night. With no scheduled meds or significant medical history and my boyfriend took care of me for the most part helping me to the rest room etc. The day shift nurse was not any better. Took her about a half hour to get me pain medicine. She also had a nurse intern with her which I was totally fine with but she didnt properly explain her position, I had to ask. The Drs that day were pretty good but overall I would not recommend going to Kennedy. I am a nurse myself and expected much better care for how little care I required.

Was at the cherry hill Kennedy 2 weeks ago was seen right away in the Er by a very nice nurse that made me feel I was very important checked on me alot.she explained everything that she would be doing and what she was giving me in way of medication very important to me cause I have allergies I did have an extra band that was to show I have allergies as well. when I was being admitted and she found out I couldnt have anything after midnight she got me something to eat n drink.then went up to my room the Nurses introduced themselves and wrote their names on a board in the room. I did get pain meds in the Er but they ask if I needed anything for pain.they would explain everything to me they truly were caring. Dr said I wouldnt be going for a procedure and allowed to eat the Cafeteria young lady came in with a tray and all I could say was can I get a big cup of coffee she brought one in then came back with another one.such a nice person. I truly can say everyone taking care of me was very nice n caring.know that if i ever need to go to a hospital that will be my first choice. A big thank you!

HORRIBLE!!!!!! I went in the restroom on my floor and when I came out, a tech had her hands in my purse and my private possessions on the desk! They did not ask my permission to do this and they didnt wait until I was present! They sent security up to try to argue with me!!! Patronizing and unethical!!!!!! You do not give up your rights, when you enter a hospital!! Especially because they didnt even have me sign admission papers!!! Also, they cant get my meds right and the nurse said, "just focus on one thing at a time!" Adding to this: It has been three hours since I asked for nausea and heartburn meds. The nurse said, "well youre not going to die from that!" Thats nice. . .if Im in a great deal of discomfort, but Im not dying, I dont receive treatment! Lets see how many more hours I wait.

THIS PLACE SUCKS! ER STAFF ARE LIARS. Well been here since 7am (its4:30) no food, medication, no gastrointestinal doctor! ER staff are liars! Told me my grandma would have a GI consult in the ER, then changed and said oh when she is admitted GI doc will see her, got upstairs after having grandma admitted only to find out the lying ER staff never even called for a consult! I swear if she wasnt over 100 I would take her out of this freaking place! Colleen and Kirsten on the 2nd floor are the only saving graces Ive seen in this place so far!

The E.R. registrator was kind& had me in quickly.my nurse was working hard while cheering me up,she was overall very positive.The doctor did a fantastic job on numbing&stitching me up while keeping the mood light-hearted he was very efficient. Honestly...I have never written a review before but Kennedy Health in Cherry Hill has my reference.Due to their strong work ethic & genuine kindness towards patients, I recommend this place whole heartedly.

The best hospital around. Ive been to all the other local hospitals. Very quick er service. I was hallucinating and couldnt function at all. No words. The staff knew what to do right away. Snapped me out of my seizure hallucinations. Thought I was going to die. I definitely recommend this hospital. The best part is, if you stay a few nights , it is possible to get a fine little nurse to help you relax n release.

Was in the ER and brought in by ambulance. Service was fast and quick. Was surprised that you dont have mri machine to do analysis properly. The billing dept has called my home but staff does not speak english. Left a phone number which 5 people in my household could not understand and refers # either. Speak clear and please slow down so we can hear and understand or give an American the job

Nurses lied straight to my face then held my fiance against her will and wouldnt let her leave.. Its obviously more about money then taking care of people in need.. doing tests thats unnecessary just to get more money out of it. When they said all she had to do was sign paperwork and she could leave..

I was seen right away, but big difference between insured and not insured. Put in a room with 3 other patients, not even on a bed. Thought I would be treated like my mom was 3 weeks ago. What a disappointment. Should have gone to Cooper Hospital, at least there they take care of their VETERANS.
