I have only been to the Ob part of the floor but I will say, this is the best delivery I have ever experienced! This hospital has an award for being one of the best and they truly earn it! I absolutely enjoyed my stay here, and the nurses are seriously amazing! They will go above and beyond for you. I had a great team, but the two that really stick out to me are named, Lexi, and Nikki and they where not just nurses, they became you friend, family, doctor, teacher, and a companion when you need it. I will definitely love to come here for my future needs!

Very great experience being a support person for bf in for knee replacement. Nurse Stacy and Alyssa are so awesome! making sure I was good and comfortable as well as the bf (obviously) great communication throughout the surgery. Surgeon was very kind and informative. ☺️

it's a weird experience for me, as I've had some crap experiences with hospitals in the past. They definitely DO NOT make you feel like an inconvenience, they don't rush through anything and they definitely make you feel like a priority. And the facility is a nice bonus. 👌 thanks ❤️

I've had 2 HORRIBLE experiences here. The 1st was that I had an EKG done. They had me strip down to my underwear (i.e., no bra) and put on a cloth gown. But then they led me out of my room, led me across the hospital, had me get my blood drawn, and had me SIT IN THE WAITING ROOM in nothing but the cloth gown and my underwear for over 20 minutes while I waited for the EKG. That is not okay!

ER is horrible, they take forever to see a patient and will either send you home right away or refer you to your primary doctor. If you're very sick please avoid this ER hospital, it's best to drive to Spencer, Sioux City or Fort Dodge hospitals.

Everyone from intake, billing, Radiology, X-ray, anesthesiology, surgery team, nursing, CNAs, cleaning, laundry, and the food services team were amazing. I had amazing care from everyone before during and after surgery. I would recommend BVRMC to anyone.

Labor and Delivery, Most of the staff is friendly and supportive. It is just too bad that one labor and delivery nurse can ruin a first time mother's experience. Twice Beth suggested we leave during my daughters labor and then were not there to support her for the emergency c-section. My daughter and her husband were not kept informed and did not understand completely what was going on. Would not recommend this hospital for delivery.

No one wants to go to the ER, but I accompanied a friend to the hospital at about 4AM with a very serious allergic reaction, which was potentially life threatening. Quick admission, knowledgeable and professional medical staff acted fast and effectively, and discharge was a breeze. (Kris at the admission desk is a gem!) It's reassuring to know that we have such quality and comprehensive care just down the street. Thank you!

Their ER is HORRIBLE. They always say nothing is wrong and send patients home. For example my niece was once sick. They sent her home. The next day she was close to dieing if it wasnt because she was taken to Omaha. Shes fine, just needed to take out half her intestines😡. Now yesterday it was my nephews turn. He was obviously sick. Doctor didnt want to do any tests. Sent mu nephew home. It was a ear infection. Last night he was taken again to ER and doctor was practically FORCED by my sister to run some tests. She had to beg. Finnaly the so called proffesional doctor did his job and turns out my nephew had pneumonia and gave him a shot and send him home😡. Moral of the story is doctors are here to save lives. If you dont want to do your job because youre tired then stay home. So a big thank you to CHEROKEE hospital for saving my nephews life. He was taken to the ER a third time. Its terrible when you have to take someone to another hospital other than the one in your town. Im not the only one that hates these services and cares. Many people do but theres a language barrier so they dont speak out. I really hope one day SL hospital is a great place to be taken care of
