This hospital is 5 stars all the way around although you may initially have to wait in the emergency room a little longer than normal it’s because there are so many patients coming for their outstanding care !! The incredible nurses to their through dr’s you won’t leave feeling unheard or nervous if they missed something . Their impatient care is off the charts top notch care !!! The nurses are incredible the dr’s great the lab techs great the procedure nurses great and I have to say although I have only been hospitalized a few times here short stay is by far 5 star quality treatment and believe me I wasn’t a short stay but the hospital was full and remain in short stay for 8 days and they could have been tired of me but instead compassion was showed everytime and I only got a couple of repeat nurses or dr’s most of the time they changed day to day but the care different each dr or nurse’s care better than the last . I did have to wait in the er a bite and be treated in the hallway bit it didn’t change the incredible care I received . It was still top notch and again it’s so busy because the care is so good people would rather wait for hours here and received the best care than go elsewhere and seen quick but lacked results . I am going to change all my care and all my dr’s to Shawnee mission !!!

With my prior 2 years experience with heart problems and multiple procedures and test, my aortic valve was discussed multiple times! I was told it wasn’t ready for replacement! After a hospital stay in December 2023 I was released from the hospital with shortness of breath and fatigue/weakness and edema in my legs symptoms! My insurance authorized home care nurse and physical therapy. After several weeks my progress was minimal and the shortness of breath and edema had gotten worse! At that point my home care nurse called my nephrologist with concerns of my well being. I was told to go directly to hospital ED and she, the nephrologist , would meet me there! After a couple of test it was determined I needed my aortic valve replaced! I was admitted to Advent Hospital Pepin Heart Institute for the surgery. After a weekend of dialysis I was cleared for surgery and the results were a miracle! Now 30 days after TAVR surgery I’m feeling better everyday and currently attending Advent Cardiac Rehabilitation and I’m up to 2 miles on my goal of 3 miles a day in the near future! Feeling better than good and thankful to God, my Doctors, Nurses, Technicians at Advent Hospital for saving my life! God is Good!🙏
