Sherwin Ferguson My husband was transferred here at night for an emergency appendectomy. He felt well cared for by nurses and physicians on the med/surgery unit and the OR. Communication went well between staff and since he was doing well he was discharged less than 24 hours from arrival. The room was clean, spacious and well lit. The nurse managed ekg and minor ultrasound in the room in addition to other nursing tasks. Very competent and efficient! Highly recommend this hospital!

Kaveh Saleminejad I know it’s pointless to write a review for the only 24-hour emergency center in the Covington and Kent area and many patients have no other option but to go there in an emergency, and that’s exactly why they don’t care about their patients. But if you have a choice, you might find this useful before going there.
My 8-year-old son hit his head on the wall, leaving him with a bump and a congested nose. We took him to Multicare Covington Medical Center at 11:30 PM when there were only three other patients in the waiting area. A nurse briefly checked him and told us that only a doctor could order an X-ray for a child, so we had to wait for the doctor. Naturally, we expected this to take 30 minutes to an hour.
We ended up waiting until 4:30 AM,five hours, without ever being seen by a doctor. Despite asking multiple times about the delay, we were repeatedly told that they didn’t have a vacant bed and needed to send some patients to the hospital first. However, we could clearly see them taking in other patients while my son struggled to breathe.
At 4:30 AM, my son, exhausted and in tears, opened his eyes and begged me to take him home. And that’s exactly what we did, leaving without ever seeing a doctor.
Again, I know they don’t care, and I know that for many people in this area, there is no alternative. But if you have the option to drive a little farther, do yourself a favor and avoid this place.
