Chickasaw Nation Medical Center Review

I have my baby here and they were awesome best experience of having a baby

I had my first baby here last fall and had a wonderful experience! The care here was wonderful! Dr Whiting was exceptional! He was very knowledgeable and also made me feel calm throughout my entire high risk pregnancy. The nurses and midwives were so nice and helpful during my stay and really make you feel special. The facility is beautiful and well maintained from the inside out. The food here is delicious as well! We traveled 3 hours for every visit and it was so worth it! I would highly recommend having your baby here!

It was the best hospital I have ever been to.. Dr Whitting and his staff took care of my medical condition when everyone else turned me away or gave me unnecessary medication. This hospital and all staff treats their patients life humans. I'm truly blessed

I have been driving there for years, because everyone is so wonderful. I have no complaints at all. I drive 8.5 hours one way to get here, because it s worth it.

I have been to the women's clinic they were very kind however the wait was long

I am rating and reviewing this hospital as low as possible due to the unprepared and unreasonable treatment shown to my cousin during her pregnancy. She was given a date to be enduced and was then rescheduled not once, not twice but three times in one week. 2 days to be exact. Ridiculous!! After we all, (we have a huge and excited family), rescheduled and rearranged our work and personal schedules, as well as our attitudes, to accommodate to this absurdity, we assumed everything was set as planned for the next date that we were given. As we were told, my cousin was admitted at midnight the evening prior to the given date. Everything seems to be okay, right? WRONG!! During the early morning hours, while we are all trying to get some rest for our adventure to welcome our newest addition, we were informed AGAIN not once, not twice, but THREE times that the time had been changed in which they would begin the procedure. At this point we are HIGHLY aggravated, and running on little to no sleep. However, we understood that there were things happening that were beyond the nurses and doctors control. We, as a family, calmly held our cool and prayed that everything would still go as planned. To our horror, we were informed that there were not ANY labor beds available and not enough nurses to accommodate the women, including my cousin, that were scheduled to be enduced that day. Now, while she was not in active labor, this day was prepared for and our ENTIRE family had made accommodations to be there, only to have it thrown in our face for a FOURTH time that she would be sent home. I find this all extremely unprofessional, and utterly ridiculous. We now have people, whom have paid for vacations in advance ,that may not be able to attend the birth of this precious angel because this facility does not have their act together!! I recommend that if you plan on using this facility as your place to give birth that you consider waiting until your child comes on their own and not through enducement. Do NOT allow them to toss you and your family around as they have done mine. Thank you, and have a nice day.

I had surgery here yesterday & had to stay overnight. It was the best hospital stay I've ever experienced.
The entire staff from my Dr to my nurse's were very attentive and extremely patient. They took the time to explain any questions I had, I never had to wait long for someone to answer my call light. Many times they just came in to check on me after surgery. Before surgery they made me feel so at ease because I was very nervous.
Every single one of them deserve a pat on the back. I was very impressed. I didn't know hospital's like this even existed.
Thank you to the whole staff from the bottom of my heart.

Sincerely,
Heather Dyson

The staff and facilities are top of the line! I have private insurance and can choose where I go and still choose to see the doctors at Ada. I have received excellent care!

This is not a good place to go if your pregnant. They have treated my daughter in law terrible here her protein is at 1500 in her urine and they keep putting her off any other Dr o have talked to says if she was their patient they would have already delivered the baby cause it's very dangerous for her and the baby

Had a great experience by helping me getting hearing aids. Helping expanding my horizon the Chickasaw way :-)

My daughter had a postpartum hemorrhage and they discharged her while she was still actively hemorrhaging. She's lucky to still be alive.

Like the women's clinic but pharmacy staff is VERY rude

You could not ask for better care from any other hospital. There are no words that i could say that would be enough appreciation and love and care. During these Covid times this world has changed and they are the Best. Thank you all of you from the bottom of my heart.

I've so much good to say about Chickasaw Nation Medical Center. From their care and Medical staff to the way they been offering to vaccinate any and everyone at no cost. For the good of all Nations and Nationalties. I'm so impressed by this Nation. And just want to say Thank you for looking out for my family. And coming to our rescue when we needed you most. May God Bestow Blessings on your Nation and your Businesses. May they flourish and be successful.

I was in the ER over the weekend I was told to come back on Monday and bring my husband, I might have a blood clot so I needed an ultrasound and they made him wait in the car. Very rude

Joke, Had MRI ran and was told muscles torn from tendons to be sent home without care bc I am functional as their orthopedic said.

Functional to limp from now on. Had to go see another clinic and got referred to Southwest Orthopedic bc of the injury.

Some of cnmc our very rude. And they act like they are being put out and the nurses in the ER lazy .but I have to deal with it because I no other place to .hardly do I see the nurses or doctor smile they treat u like cattles and The doctor treat you like u are dope addict and not everyone is addict to anything CNM need to train doctors and nurses how to address individuals thank u for your time a proud Chickasaw

Been waiting in the ER for over 3hrs! And still haven t been seen other than nurse. Terrible triage.. still waiting 4 1/2 hrs in.. son has deteriorated while waiting.. I guess you need to have meds on hand while u wait. After making a stink he was triaged again, and given fever reducer.. nurse said maybe your fever has gone up.. duh yeah think...What a joke!

I came here to try and get some mental health help and they didnt do anything except hold me in a room all day, didnt even try to help. Tried telling me I couldn't leave after being there for 10 and half hours and got sick of it and decided to try and find somewhere else that would actually help me

It's always a great day to be Chickasaw. Chikasha saya...

It's a little slow sometimes but it serves a lot of people so it's to be expected.

Would give zero stars if I could honestly. Most things at the hospital is great! BUT if you re needing to go to the women s clinic or the ER be prepared to wait. Even if you have an appointment. I wish I could say this only happens rarely but it happens nearly every time I m here, I show up 10-15mins early for my appointment to wait an hour +. What s the point of me having an appointment when I never get seen at that time? I get stuck waiting well over past my appointment time and it happens every time I come to the women s clinic, what s the deal???

Been here with a friend since 6:20pm and it's 12:46am. Still sitting here in the waiting area, I guess if ur not dying... Ur not important!!! SMH

Worst place to go to seek medical help. Do not recommend. Wanna be native people. They might help you if you white.

This hospital Steve's so many and is on point with what they do. It is well run has a nice restaurant and orders a free meal to kiss up to agree 18.

I had surgery here and the staff was amazing. It made a traumatic (I was terrified) experience a little easier.

I have been to the specialty clinic for two different issues, imaging department, the women's clinic, the lab, and the ER at the Chickasaw Nation Medical Center in Ada. The only complaint I have had was with several of the ER Doctors and a few of the nurses. I did have a couple of nice ER docs a couple of times I went but some of them were absolutely terrible! The clinics are amazing though and the people that work in them are so nice.

I am q patient in the women's clinic here. The staff is amazing and so is my doctor. They actually listen to my concerns as well as do the treatment plan of MY CHOICE. Im only on medications I feel comfortable with and scheduling appointments every few months helps me a lot

I sat in the emergency room for over an hour, others were there for well over 2 hours. I finally left because I was fed up. If you re in need of care urgently just go somewhere else.

The Drs actually care and do their jobs to get your symptoms figured out. I had been to other ers and nobody could figure out that I was having issues with my gallbladder. Went to this er and nurses and Dr immediately knew my pain was my gallbladder.

Friendly and compassionate nursing staff, always went the extra mile for my daughter when she was there for lupus complications

My home is in Irving Tx. I have very good insurance So I can go where I want. The Chickasaw Nation Medical Center is worth the Drive !

DO NOT have a baby here! They held me down while the anesthesiologist tried to place my epidural for 45 minutes poking me dozens of times.. I had a spinal leak and could not walk or even pick my head up for 6 weeks, 4 years on and I still have diagnosed neuropathy and disc damage.

This place is terrible!!!!!! Went to primary dr. she had us go to the er here, we live 2 hours away. Once we were there we waited another 2 hours to be seen by the er dr. Except he really didn t try to help! Said her case was rare and he couldn t help her. In fact he was extremely rude and condescending. Sent us home with no help!!! Said it would be a waste of resources, I would not recommend this hospital to anyone!!!!!

every time my husband comes here we wait 2-3 hours just to be seen by a nurse. Won t be back

Place takes forever no matterwhat kind of emegency you have near death or common cold expect to wait 4 to 5 hours to be seen not a place I ever wanna go again...

a wonderful change from impersonal and hurried experiences from other doctors. my past visits are so far above any other medical institution.

They have taken excellent care of my wife and kids. In and out of ER in less than an hour one time and two hours another time. That s with medications in hand from their facility pharmacy. They are proficient with setting up appointments, on time with appointments, friendly and honestly they provide the best care in this part of the state (originally from the Tulsa area) in my opinion. They are great...so thanks for the awesome care!

Waiting in the ER for over 3hours and it is not busy at all. They say there are different ones and I was the ER but there has not been any moving for the ER. And since it is now 1200 its like every one is at lunch. Not happy at all!!!

The staff was very nice and the doctor was wonderful and actually lessened to my concerns and took the time to answered my questions with out making me feel like she was being put out by me.

the worker Bekki had been incredibly rude to me and i have the right to believe it was because of my racial and religious status. i m a black muslim women and had felt extremely unwelcome and offended by the things Bekki had said to me and my family

Best medical care I've ever received. Had surgery there recently, no problems. Excellent

Any other time this place is great but when you come in to the ER and you are having chest pains and they tell you to have a seat and wait...its bullcrap!!!

I have some female problems and was referred to the OBGYN in Ada. My husband and I both had to take off work and drive 2 hours to be seen by no one. We waited in waiting room for an our before Dr. PARKER came to talk to me.she just told me that there is nothing that she could do for me and wondered why I was there. Why in the world did they even schedule me an appointment then?. This is a hospital and not a small clinic, you would think they would be more with it.

Baby girl was born here. On 1.3 19.
Dr. Nwankwo is the man!
The entire nursing staff is super friendly.
Got us what we needed and asked for.
They care for your child. Im a first time parent and they answered every question and went into detail.
The rooms are super clean and the food is pretty good as well. There was not a worker who we encountered who was unfriendly or unhelpful.
Thank everybody so much!

I met the kindest, most helpful gentleman working in the gift shop, I had driven from OKC to Ada for appts. and as I was leaving the hospital my glasses broke, no other dept. could help me, not even strangers, but the gift shop gentleman fixed my glasses for me. He is my hero!!

I've been here three times. This first was a consultation for getting my wisdom teeth removed. It went great.
The second was the actual procedure. I had a panic attack after my gum was cut and told the dentist I didn't want to do it anymore. He said to the ladies in the room "give her the laughing gas." That didn't work as my nose was stuffed from crying from my panic attack. I told him I wanted my mom. He argued with me until he finally got my mother because he wasn't going near my mouth again without her in the room. They finally get her and she says to pull the one tooth, because they have to, and we left. That happened last year and now I'm terrified to go to any dentist. He was really nasty about me not wanting the rest pulled out.
The third I feel was a complete waste of time. I drove an hour and a half for a consultation for surgery on my gallbladder. I get there and am called back within 45 mins. A lady walks me to the very back room where she didn't move anything out of the doorway so I had to squeeze by with my toddler. The nurse take my vitals and asks the normal questions and leaves. I wait not too much longer for the surgeon to come in to ask more questions. Everything I did with that lady could be been done over the phone. She didn't even shake my hand as I was leaving. It's really frustrating to drive that far to be weighed and have my blood pressure checked. I could've done that at my local clinic and then spoke to her on the phone about everything else or even video chat. Then I'm told that she's positive I need the surgery, but people walk around with gallstones all the time and to try a couple things and come back in a month. Why can't she just call and ask? Instead I might have to drive all the way back with my toddler to be weighed and get my pressure checked to talk to a surgeon that doesn't even lay a finger on you to make you feel better.
You get what you pay for and I'm doing just that now, looking for a surgeon that I'll have to pay copays and stuff just so I can get medical treatment because I'm in constant pain.

We have been waiting in the ER for 3 hours now for a broken bone. We haven't even seen a doctor yet. I'm not sure how they can call themselves an ER with that kind of wait time. There are people here now who have been here 6 hours waiting.

The facility is state of the art. The staff is very professional.

The place might be fancy looking but they will keep you as long as they can, make you more sick, and let you die. Run far away from this place as fast as you can.

They are so awesome what Texas hospitals told me I suffered from dehydration. This hospital went the distance and helped me learn i have heart arythmia and kept me going and healthy. Thank you

I am very impressed by the care I received went in for unexpected emergency surgery Doctors and Nurses explained everything and checked on me and my family often. I was there for three weeks and always felt like if I needed something someone was there. Food choices were great everything tasted homemade. Thank you all for the care I received.

The caregivers and care for my mother was superior. I cannot say enough good things about this beautiful facility. All the staff from checking in the ER to the cleaning staff treated my mom and our entire family with integrity and compassion. My mom passed away last week, she was in the Chickasaw Medical Center being lovingly cared for during her passing.

This is no Joke! I grew up going here, it was frightening! It was so pleasant 2018 being cared for here!

A family member has so far been waiting 3 1-2 hours to be seen in the emergency department or urgent care. Pretty sure he is contagious but everyone else will be having what he has on top of what they came in with. Every time the er sucks wait is forever and then they forget about you once u go back.

Emergency Room wait times are absurd. Waited over 4 hours with a broken bone just to be called back to see the doctor. Triage nurse was rude. I overheard one nurse tell a friend that she was "pretending to work". Overall just a terrible experience.

Had my 2nd baby here and was glad I chose to make the drive rather than go back to the hospital my 1st had been born at. All the staff I encounter had been helpful, understanding, and polite. The midwives were excellent and made the experience less painful with pure motivation and encouragement. The rooms were clean and I enjoyed the food. I now continue to go here for other treatments as needed and so far have not had a bad experience.

My daughter and I both go for Dental,Vision, and Medical. The best care I've seen in 12yr.

Dr Nwankwo is the most amazing doctor! All the nurses are amazing in the birthing center...I can t thank them enough! I had a c-section here and by far the best experience I have ever had! I can t remember the anesthesiologists name but she went above and beyond for me. I ve had 3 pregnancy and delivered my first 2 at St Anthony s in OKC and my last here at CNMC. There is no comparison between the 2 this place puts St Anthony s to shame. I only wish I would have delivered all my children at CNMC with Dr Nwankwo. They will definitely take care of you and your new bundle of joy.

They provide the best medical and dental care my family and I have ever received. They take time with you and really listen to your concerns. The dental team is amazing! If you need a root canal rest easy! Dr. Rogers is the BEST and you will feel NO pain!! The Chickasaws care for all Native people!

The wait is too long when there are not that many patients here. They should take care of staff last instead of scheduling them ahead of outside patients. Have watched the same people walk up and down the hall, so must not be too busy.

I have never been to a cleaner, nicer medical facility in my life and I ve been to many. Myself and my family are always treated first class. Makes me proud.

Came here back in 2011 and received excellent care and treatment. Had a new visit with the dental staff here today to receive dentures. The nurse was so friendly I couldn't help but talk to her. Then the doctor came in and this guy was awesome. He answered all my questions about my dentures and left me feeling like I was in great hands. This facility has treated me better than any other doctor I've been to. I truly hope someone sees this and shares this with higher ups. Great service.

I was brought the CNMC late Thursday evening by ambulance. I was pretty sick.. From the time I got there in the ER untill I was discharged, I was in the best care! The Er nurse on duty that helped me was exceptional and I just loved her. When I got to my room, the nurse were AWESOME and treated me and my mother so wonderful. There were 2 nurses that I just absolutely loved one was named Joani and I cant remember the other girls name . she had blonde hair with black glasses. They were so sweet and treated me and my family with so much respect. ACTUALLY they all did but those 2 stood out. I just wanted to say thank you to the sweet ladies that helped me God bless you ALL!

my sister was in the ER the other day for pains in her stomach the nurses in the ER was rude they couldn t even find her after they got her back they had no clue where she could be they wasn t any help we went to two nurses stations and neither one only reason we found her was a nurse was walking out of the room she was in ive been there for the dental and they are usually really good but th hospital isn t they are very rude and in organized and when we saw the doctor she didn t really seem she was very concerned to find out that she has gallstones she said everyone has gallstones i had my gallbladder taken out a few years ago and i didn t have any stones they didn t do anything for her they didn t seem liked they even cared when she told us she basically told everyone in the hallway she didn t come into the room she stood in the doorway and said it which she can get in trouble for we ended up driving an hour and half back home and the next day she went to the clinic in Little Axe and they explained what happened at the hospital they was so mad about how we was treated and they sent her to a hospital closer to where we live and now she is waiting to get in to get her gallbladder removed. This place is horrible i wouldn t even send my own dog here . if i could give this place a lower star i would ...

I was absolutely blown away by the care I received. Lots of others have said the same but let me add one more things. A few days after I got home from having surgery, I received a get well soon card signed BY EVERY SINGLE PERSON WHO GAVE ME CARE. The surgeon, the anesthesiologist, every nurse, the woman who brought me meals. Everyone. And when my parents were there visiting, which happened to be at lunchtime, they asked if THEY would like some lunch! The food, by the way, was excellent. I can't say enough about how NOT like every other doctor and clinic I've been to they are.

The doctor I seen was very professional and knowledgeable.

Nice building, I understand the problems this country is going through this pandemic caused by this covid-19 but I consider ridiculous that I have to wait outside while my girl have a surgery

I received excellent care, and felt very comfortable with the doctor. The facility is clean and welcoming.

This place sucks. The ER staff has horrible attitudes, and the wait time is ridiculous!! Don t come here unless you re ready to wait at least 4 hours to be seen. Ridiculous

I made an appointment with the womens clinic, I go to my appointment and sign in and wait a long time. I finally got seen by a nurse for the nurse to tell me I was checked in wrong by the front desk and wasn't going to get seen after I had traveled 4 hours (2 hours 1 way) to be there for my appointment. I have NEVER been denied by a place I had an appointment for. Worst service ever. The people there don't care about anything other than a paycheck.

Nice rooms ,no smoking on facility and bring your own food on the weekends cafeteria only opens during lunch on weekends.

With flu season going on, it was a long wait. The registration nurse gave me a facemask and hand sanitizer. Very good bedside manner. Dr was fabulous. WE is never fun but the nurses and Doctor made it tolerable.

I've been to other Native American hospitals and hates going. I'd rather have my teeth pulled than go to them. But this hospital blew me away and I can't stop raving about it to my family and friends when they come into town. There have been a couple times I've been there. Once for me; once visiting my aunt and another time for my daughter in law at E R. I was relieved I didn't have to wait all day. I was impressed at the cleanliness. The equipment was new and modernized. It was top notch. I love going to the gift shop!!! Must see! I go there every time I visit the hospital.

This place is awful if you re having a baby. They told a woman to go home who was dilated to a 4 and they don t use doctors to deliver babies they use midwifes. They even told my cousin they don t like delivering babies at night. They had here walking around the hospital doing lunges and squats. Her water broke at around 3pm and they gave her the epidural around 6pm and she started pushing at 9pm and here it is almost 1am and still no baby. Keep in mind around 9 she was dilated to a 10. They FINALLY called a doctor to come around midnight and just told her they were going to use a vacuum and if that didn t work they would take him by c-section. Think twice before you deliver here. You get what you pay for or in this case what you don t.

Had to do carona test & it took a few mins to get it done.

The staff were great as usual and they always solve the problem. The rooms was clean. Well worth the wait.

My sister is currently in the chickasaw nation hospital and we have all been blown away with the great care that they not only have been giving her but her entire family. The Chickasaw's really take care of their people!

I arrived at 3:30 PM. Appointment was at 4 PM. I have been waiting almost 2 hours for an MRI when no one has walked in for and exam since 4:45PM. This is the most rediculous thing I have ever seen in my life. Upon checking with the reception again. I was told no longer than 15 more minutes. Thats was at 5:15 PM. It is 5:55 PM and just now got called back to do what should have happened by 4:30 PM.

I live almost 2 hours away, and wouldn't go anywhere else. Love it! Friendly, caring staff. Little to no wait times with appointment.

If you want to die go to the E.R always have a long wait.

We've always given high ratings here. Until today at the dental clinic. They kept giving Billy the run around. He'd stand in line at one desk then when he got forward they would send him back to another desk. He was about to give up and just leave.

Very professional Professionals! All Tribal facilities should strive to be as courteous and professional.

I have been going to the Chickasaw Nation hospital or medical offices for about 20 years. Even though my tribe is from Arizona, they recognize my tribe and I am able to get free Healthcare there. The hospital in Ada is not only stunning to look at but they really have it set up to provide exceptional care. I live in the DFW area so when I had to have surgery a few years ago, it was difficult for my family. Thankfully they have what they call Chikasha House within walking distance to the hospital. My kids and now ex-husband were able to stay there and be with me during the day. They also received meals. Their food, by the way, is absolutely delicious and healthy! I know typically hospital food is subpar but they are seriously amazing. I am so thankful for their services!!!
