Ascentist Hospital 4901 College Boulevard, Leawood, KS 66211

"So, this is the best hospital experience that I have ever had (and I have had a few). I went to Ascentist for a sleep study and was impressed. Since Ascentist offers many other specialties, I decided to go back to them for some severe back pain. I met with Dr. Danny Neuman and he was absolutely fantastic. The lobby staff and nursing staff were very kind, too. I ended up going to Ascentist Hospital to have a pain procedure done by Dr. Danny and once again he and the rest of the staff from the front office, to the nurses, to the ER staff met me with pure kindness and professionalism. I have already told several people about my wonderful experience and I will be using Ascentist again for any specialty that they offer. Great job Ascentist."

"I was not impressed with our experience to say the least. My husband had sinus surgery with Dr. Johnson, who is a wonderful physician, it is just unfortunate that she practices at this poor excuse of a surgery center. To start the process, we received the preadmission call at 4:45 the day before my husband's surgery, my husband had some questions and the nurse's response was "I am not sure your packet is already up front", I should have taken that as my first clue that we should have ran. I am a preadmission testing nurse and that answer was unacceptable. I was not able to go into preop or post op with my husband. Dr. Johnson had to give me an update of my husband's surgery standing by the elevator which was in the waiting room. I was told that I would receive a call in about 15 minutes from the recovery room to update me on my husband's recovery, an hour and a half later I get a call from the nurse "your husband has been naughty". My husband told the preadmission nurse and later he told me that he told the anesthesiologist preoperatively that he wakes up agitated from anesthesia. The nurse tells me to meet them in the downstairs waiting room, when I arrive they are wheeling my husband out of the recovery room, he is slouched over and mumbling, mind you there are other patients and families watching all of this and the nurse proceeds to tell me that "he is all yours", "we had to give him a dose of Haldol and Precedex". The whole atmosphere was chilling and simply unacceptable. Least to say we will never use their services again."

"By far the BEST hospital experience I've had in the 30 years that I've been in KC. I visited on 2 separate occasions. First time for an outpatient procedure and the second time for an inpatient procedure requiring an overnight stay. The pre-op nurses and staff were so friendly, helpful and worked as a team. Thr doctors and nurses in the operating room and post-op were just as wonderful. The hospital stay nurses and staff only have 2 patients each as opposed to 6 or more at other hospitals that I've experienced. They were attentive, pleasant, knowledgeable and comforting. I would opt for this hospital when given the chance, hands down!"

"I cannot say enough great things about the nurses, staff, and doctors at Ascentist Hospital! My care was excellent! Everyone there went out of their way to accommodate me! The people are amazing and the facility is top notch! I would recommend this place and the doctors to anyone! On a scale of 1-10, Dr. Newman is a 15!"

"When we found out my mom needed surgery, I could not imagine her going anywhere else! Dr. Cowan and the team are skilled and compassionate! The experience exceeded my expectations! Thank you all for taking such great care of my mom!"
