Doctor needs to work on her child etiquette, but nurse was awesome. We wanted to hug her when we left, but she was with another child. If you see this, thank you for your bedside manor. My granddaughter loves her little kitty.

If you are dying DO NOT GO HERE. IT'S NOT WORTH IT. The ER won't do anything for you then sue you for every single penny they think they are owed. DO NOT GO HERE. I tried several times to set up payment arrangements in which billing specifically told me they would NOT do for me. The ER "dr" Klutz had mechanic filthy hands! I thought it was a joke when he entered the room to examine me looking like that! Go to Washington.

Was recently admitted thru the ER. Once again this little hospital took great care of me. Got me better and gave me the information to manage a new found diagnosis. Every nurse was knowledgeable and they all hit every needle stick. I was pretty impressed with the care received at this little country Hospital.

They dont care about their patients. They dont listen to what you have to say. The wont perscribe stuff you need. They just tell you to get "over the counter stuff" that youve already been taking. Dont go here. Oh yeah i just got my bill back & with insurance the charged me 547.00 to check my vitals & test me for strep. I litterally had to go to convenient care in Wentzville the next day to get antibiotics because the Neanderthals that work in Hermann wouldn't do anything for me AT ALL.
