I went to this ER the first time. They swabbed my nose and throat (I had 102 fever coughing nausea sever head ache and neck hurting) . They did all the testing and said hmmyour test results are good. Right before I left she stuck something in my ear and do oh you have an ear infection. They gave me and antibiotic and I left. Before I left they told me to come back if symptoms got worse or didnt improve. Two days later and I still have a fever and throwing up profusely with one of the worst head aches Ive ever had (been consistent for three days). So I go back and a different dr sees me this time. She comes in and says I checked your blood work and your levels for parasites etc are double what they should be. I kept telling them my head is killing me and I cannot stop coughing. About three hours later the dr comes back and I quote " go home take your antibiotics youll be fine its just an ear infection. " I said my head is killllllllling me and my cough makes my head ache ten times worse. She said take 3 grams of Tylenol youll be fine. They gave me discharge papers and said they treated me for a fever..... when I questioned my head ache and coughing throwing up etc a different nurse came in to take my Iv out and release me. This is the most unprofessional uneducated bunch of idiots Ive ever met in my life. Its currently going on day 4 I still have fever over 101 my head ache is just about dibilitating and my cough is about to drive me nuts. If you are thinking about going to this place... like I told them I would drive allllll the way to Minot or DIE before I came back to this ER. I dont know how these people sleep at night bc I surely cant! Its 3am and my damn cough and head ache woke me up... so think twice before u waste a second or a cent in this DUMP!!!!!!!

Absolutely terrible! The nurses and ER Dr. were extremely rude! The nurse was giving attitude because I couldnt spell prescription names exactly and wasnt positive on dose, now, I know they need to know but I went for sprained ankle. Just wanted to be sure nothing major broken. The X-ray tech, very unprofessional, and moved me around like there wasnt an injury. Made me hold the film and my leg up while there were wedges for that purpose right next to the table. Now, I am an amputee, hospitals are nothing new to me. I have also broken several things over the years. The best person to deal with was the nursing student! She was great and pleasant. The Dr. was very short and indecisive. No bedside manor at all! In the end they loosely wrapped it with an ace wrap... I asked for a boot or splint to which he answered its just sprained really bad you can just go down town and buy a brace. Then he reiterated that it was a terrible sprain and needed a brace! My fiancé is pre-med, I have been in and out of hospitals for injuries my whole life. Worst experience ever with a nurse and Dr. I have a ton of respect for the medical field however this was uncalled for! If your hurt and can make it, go out of town or to another clinic!

I suffered an Ischemic Stroke January 29 of this year... Thanks to the incredibly fast response of the doctors and nurses and the amazing folks with local EMS in Williston I was treated immediately with tpa therapy and then air lifted to Minot for further treatment and observation. I thank God for my medical team and their knowledge because thanks to their fast response and treatment I have gained back most of my mobility. The staff in the emergency department, ambulance and helicopter teams were not only professional but they treated me as if I was a member of their own family. I could not have asked for better care from them. Although having a stroke was a huge disruption in my life, Im glad that I had this team of doctors and nurses!! (You guys are amazing thank you so much and to Mercy Emergency Department, Williston EMS/First Responders/Police Department, thank you too!!!) You guys rock!

The Staff at the Front Desk was not knowledgable about having a signed release form in my Husband and myselfs file so that we can be informed on each others medical issues( Hippa Laws) . We were sent to Medical records then sent back to reception, then back again and then back yet again. After seeing the Doctor, we were sent to have blood drawn . I waited over 30 minutes and my Husband waited over 45 minutes, this is too long of a wait. We felt like Cattle being herded through. After 2 weeks I had to call about our test results, the Doctor nor his staff contacted us. I asked to have the information mailed to me, the nurse had to verify that it was okay to do that. REALLY. The Doctor informed me that if I need specialty care for my Arthritis , I should go back to my Doctor in Montana for that. What a joke!!!!!! I will not be returning to this Health Care Facility.

Its crazy that you need to actually rate this place with at least one star before your review can be posted!!! I am amazed that this hospital remains open. I would strongly suggest utilizing another facility. The lack of professionalism is unbelievable! During a recent visit to the Williston area, my husband ended up in the ER. At first the doctors wanted to admit him. They asked if I could bring in his at home dialysis machine & all of the medical supplies needed for it. I mentioned that this would be a HUGE liability for the hospital which could lead to a very costly medical malpractice lawsuit. The ER doctors decided that my husband would not be admitted. Kind of strange how quickly things changed!!

there is no way to describe the terrible service i recieved here. if you break a bone and are in severe pain drive somewhere else. after i made my first apt to schedule surgery which they cancelled. a lot of follow up appts were cancelled. finally got an appt two weeks after i was supposed to i was at the orhtopedic for seven hours to get an x ray and have them tell me they messed up on my surgery and wanted to open me back up and lay me up for another six weeks. SUMMARY: quacks,hackjobs,worst experience of my life, unless its life threatening i would suggest going somehwere else.

They do good at surgery, however, you pay dearly for it even when you have insurance. My young child had a tonsil surgery, received big bills from 5 different departments. The best is that I received another bill from them 8 months after the surgery! Great PR Mercy! Good luck calling customer service as it is located in the Philippine Islands, glad to know I am paying wages for a person located in another country. If you like to gouged in the pocket book than this the place to go. Will do all my doctoring in Sidney or somewhere else from now on. I am done with this hospital!

My husband went to the ER in September 2015. The service was horrible! He had to come back 2 days later and ended up getting air lifted to Trinity in Minot. We got a bill in November and paid it, thinking we were done with it. 8 months later we get 3 separate bills in the mail for "professional fees". We called the number to get some answers on why we are being billed so late and what a professional fee was. We could get nowhere! I wish I could give them less than a one star rating. Beware!!!!!!
