I think he was great and felt like he truly cared about me and my health. Thank you.

Doctor and nurse were very concerned about my condition and treated me with kindness and care. I would recommend both of them to anyone.

Extremely polite and understanding staff, from the Check-in to the finish.

My daughter came into the emergency room with severe abdominal pain. She had previously had an emergency appendicitis on October 14. Since then she increasingly had gotten worse. She was septic, had c-diff, and ulcers from ibuprofen. She was very very sick. The ER staff got us in right away, and worked fast to figure out what was wrong with her. Once it was figure out how sick she was, she was transferred via ambulance to Spokane Children’s Hospital where she had a hospital stay for seven days. Thank you, for your quick care and fast decision making to get my daughter help. Hopefully she’s on the med. she is feeling better today, but still healing.

The experience was great due to the circumstances I was being admitted for.... Doctor and the emergency room staff was professional, courteous, knowledgeable and caring. As a patient, I felt I was in good hands.

I was sent to Kootenai ER to get an IV of fluids by a home nurse that I currently have because of a recent major surgery. Monday morning are busy in the ER but wad able to get a bed and Get Fluids and potassium and Gatorade. Thank you ERIC you are awesome and an asset to Kootenai ER. Buy the way there is no IV fluids at any Urgent care in town. Crazy sad. But my drive to Kootenai wad worth it.

Waiting room a nightmare. After several hours and in exam room staff and Dr Achatz very helpful and caring , labs were done quickly.

Dr.Eric Achatz was friendly, attentive AND open to requests/suggestions (I have a medical background as a P.A.), which is hard for some M.D.s to do. ALSO: he was not using a computer when talking to me about my medical issue that I had come in with....THAT is a real treat now-a-days....a provider who LOOKS at the patient the entire time during the communication! I just wish the nurse would have cared enough to put a sheet on the plastic bed and lift the leg rest without me asking, so I could elevate my affected lower leg.
