Other review is correct; the ER is abysmal.

It is contracted out to a company out of Dallas, if I'm not mistaken. So St. Marks has little to do with its day-to-day operation.
You are charged at the ER. Then you get a bill from the 3rd party managers.
If you are able, drive to Smithville Regional. Only about 15 minutes further, and much better care, shorter wait times, and you'll save some money as well.
