What we can confirm

  • Listed in the WHO World Directory of Medical Schools (WDOMS ID F0000957) — you can verify this independently on wdoms.org rather than take any agent's word for it.
  • 76 rated student reviews on file here, averaging 3.2★ — read the full text below before deciding.

Verify before you pay anyone

  • Recognition and licensing rules change over time. Re-check the current NMC-eligible colleges list and this country's regulations for United States of America yourself before paying anything.
  • Never pay an agent or "seat reservation" fee in cash, or before you have a signed offer letter directly from the university.

  • Confirm the medium of instruction, hostel/food costs, and total multi-year fee in writing from the university itself, not only from an agent's brochure.

HEATHER WOOLERY

If I could give negative stars I would. ER was great the staff/nurses. My night nurses were great. Day shift/ infectious disease dr/ patient advocate Kate- was terrible! Never would I go back. Infectious disease dr said I was wasting my insurances money, why and how did I get here, no breakfast or lunch served. Never will I go back!

Tamara Klein

I went to KU yesterday the nursing staff the doctor were rude to me and I don't think that's how you approach a patient.. didn't feel like my questions were answered and my paperwork had the wrong dates on it and acted like typos or no big deal they are when you're getting medical stuff done especially when it's their fault.

Cyrna Cassanna

I use KU med for most all my Healthcare. I trust them to do the best they can, and to be thorough. All their departments work together as a team. It's immensely helpful to have all of your doctors communicating with each other. I have a complicated medical case, and I have always received the best of care with KU Dr's.

Willie Burns

Doctor Kinman. was my Doctor. Operated on my neck when I went to them. I had full use of my left hand now I have no use of my left hand. Operated on me on Tuesday seen him on Wednesday morning for 20 seconds. Didn't see him for 2 months.said my hand would get better and has not I wouldn't use him again he sucks

Nathan Mathews

Waited 6 months and drove 4hrs for a 45 minute Neurological appointment for my wife. Dizziness, passing out, walking sideways. No tests, no imaging. Didn't do anything our other doctors haven't done. Dr said referral for seizure doctor but he has records and tests that show negative for seizures.

Amy Hess

More than 5 stars! The nurses on ICU-5 went above and beyond for my father, especially Nurse Brad ?????????? All the staff were friendly and kind. We didn’t have to wait when discharged for meds. I have never been somewhere where time, patience and care were given at 110%! Thank you, ALL!

Earthy Birds

By far the Rudest, most insensitive staff I've ever encountered. I hope no one ever has to deal with them. EVER. Choose a different doctor part of a different system, because even if the doctor is great, dealing with their staff will be unprofessional, racially biased, and disgusting afterward.

Lizard

I go with my youngest to the child development center at ku med. I couldn't ask for a better place to take care of him! His developmental pediatrician is absolutely wonderful! He not only cares about his concerns he has, but cares for him as a person. Thank you for being there for my son!

Sean Culton

I was in the medical ward where all the doctors and nurses were top notch. I can't remember the ward I was in but Clare dr brihm and nursing staff especially Tiffany really went above and beyond and those that were before and after Tiffany were awesome and listened to my needs

Kate Cadwell

Had to stop in on my way through town. Staff was quick with treatment, listened to me with care, and had me on my way with meds in about 1.5 hours. The pharmacy was especially expedient with OTCs that were minimally marked up to provide a terrific value for everyday analgesics.

Linda Neely

Hm...I had not been to KU Med in about 15 years, because of not so good reviews. I recently went because my doctor changed hospitals. The results were horrible, 15 test with no diagnosis they released me with no explanation regarding the test results. Will never go back.

Andrew Monroe

KU Med suffers from big hospital problems. Their helpline AI assistant isn't helpful, their PCP are booked, and their campuses are easy to get lost on. But their physicians are the best in the region, and that's really why you go here. Excellent care.

rookie 4729

This has been the worst hospital I’ve ever been to. Doctors are always in a rush. Nurses have funky attitudes. On top of they call you 12 days BEFORE your scheduled surgery to say you need to pay almost $15,000 or else you can’t get it. 12 …

Emily Gamblin

Great labor and delivery team! Afterwards in the Mother/baby section was the worst experience I’ve ever had at ku, the room is super small, 70% of the nurses were rude and unsupportive, and the communication between doctor to nurse was awful.

I was originally coming here to say my only complaint was feeling like the doctors didn't listen to me or take me seriously. They treated me like a drug seeker. They told me my head and neck CT were negative for anything. I just got a …

Second time they “forgot” about me in the ER after a seizure and dislocated arm…. I pulled my own IV out after 4 hours and left without being checked out. Ku Med has gone down hill.

Jacqueline Winch

They worked fast to diagnose and operate to save my life as I had come in with a ruptured ectopic pregnancy and was close to dying.

They ask patients for money to train their nurses. How is this legal or ethical? They aren’t the only hospital system to do this.
