Dr. Ethar K. Al-Husseinawi MD

My sisters were in a car crash, minor injuries but wanted to be sure. Seen by separate doctors and treated completely differently. We were here for 7 hours. The nurses didn’t care to check in on us nor the doctors. Someone would come in, we’d be left alone for 2-3 hours, go to the nurses station to request to be followed up on, and so the cycles repeated itself. Getting results for an x-ray took almost 4 hours. Go literally anywhere else.

Good hospital but I was put into a room with another patient and she watched tv all night and talked on the phone all night so I didn’t get much rest or sleep, the 7 days I was there. Seeing the doctors was almost impossible too. Food was very good and nursing was great.

There is no communication between nurses and special departments like cardiac unit. I was admitted because I was told that was the only way to get a eco cardio gram. My nurse checked on me twice in 5 hours! I went to get a stress test after waiting 5 hours and during the time I was gone the eco unit came. They said they would be back in 30 min and never came back and said I would have to wait until morning because they were going home! Patients do not come first here. If you have a cardiology issue don’t come here!

I went to the paola Dr office/urgent care for difficulties breathing racing heart and heart palpitations. When I revealed I take a supplement she, the nurse practitioner had never heard of, she basically said the supplement was causing my issues and if I stopped it, they'd resolve. Well, good thing I got a second opinion. I ACTUALLY am in very severe heart failure. With a 10-15% ejection fraction. If I had listened to the woman I saw here, I'd definitely have already or would very soon die without treatment. Definitely do not recommend. This is so sad and INFURIATING.

01/31/23 I went back to Olathe Medical Center ER this new years eve morning. My knee continued to be very swollen and I could barely walk. Filled out registration paper work, spoke with receptionist and ladies who take your vitals when you get there. To their surprise and mine; they did find in the computer data base that I was there the night before, I was seen but there was no details of what happened. So thus time I was taken to a room, I was seen by a real doctor, who did xrays and confirmed that it was true. I had liquid inside my right knee and that was the reason why it was so swollen. The doctor had the nurse prepared the anesthesia, tools to make an incision, put in a plastic tube and drained the liquid out. The Doctor did everything himself. Cleaned up the knee and wrapped it up. Sent me home with medication for pain. I was able to go home early and welcome 2024 with my family. It was not the hospital fault, it was the student practitioner's lack of care for me. She just didn't want to take the time to tend to my need or call a doctor to check me. New Year's Day early morning, the ER Doctor who took care of me; called me and asked me How was I doing? If I needed anything else. I do appreciate him for taking care of the problem with my right knee. I am glad that there's good doctors that do care about the people they see in the ER and their office. I am thank ful for his care, attention and kindness with my health. He's a great doctor and good person for helping people with health care needs. I learned that from then on, when going to the ER or Urgent care to be seen by a Doctor only, no nurse assistant or physician assistant.
