I am on blood thinners and I hit my head, the dr office advised me to go in, I was having episodes of vtach where my heart rate reached the 200’s, the nurse diagnosed me by telling me that the nitro made me pass out… after repeated attempts of telling her I didn’t take a nitro before the episode of feeling like I was going to pass out, which I did not, just lost my vision for a few seconds and hit my head. She kept telling me I was fine and my blood work from yesterday was normal. The nurse lied on her notes that were submitted to my MyChart. I am still having chest pain and now I am scared to even bring it up to any medical staff. I have never been treated so bad by a staff member of McKenzie Health until today.

Regan (spelling) in Radiology was the most comforting, knowledgable tech, she gave informative information in a very calm manner without acting like a doctor or diagnosing me. She answered my questions as well as moms. My mom and I are chronically and are no stranger to medical. Regan was a breath of fresh air and so genuine and personable while being proffessional. These days both are hard to find especially in the medical field. Thank you, Regan.

The housekeeping was terrible. I was in there for over a week and they didn’t show up until the day I left. My shower had wet towels in it that stayed there for at least two days. The rest of the staff tried to do their part in taking up the slack, but they had more important things to do like take care of the patients. I have been trying to get hold of someone to voice my complaint, but so far I haven’t got any response Also, recently I was in their outreach clinic in Williston. When I asked to use the restroom, it was not even handicapped accessible. Hello, I was in an orthopedic clinic. Why not??

McKenzie County Health System seems to get better every time I visit. From the beautiful landscaping to the welcoming from staff when entering the buildings, it sets the tone for a great visit. Lab and imaging are among the best I’ve used anywhere. The medical providers including family practice, pediatrics, urology, orthopedics, general surgeons, hospitalists, emergency doctors, and urgent care - how did Watford City get so lucky? The care provided at MCHS is second to none. Thank you for being here. Our community is so lucky that we no longer have to travel anywhere from 1-3 hours to get medical care.

My son suffers from an autoimmune disorder, it worried me moving to such a rural area. We started seeing Dr Marchenko as his pediatrician and I cannot express in words my gratitude for her. He often experiences long term periods of flares and illness. She goes above and beyond to try to make his battles a little more comfortable. She is thorough and proactive and is in constant communication, even if it’s just to check on how I am coping. She is always researching and consulting with his and other specialist to assure that she is taking the best care of him possible. She is more than just his doctor, she never forgets the humanity aspect when treating her patients, I feel like I owe her my sanity many times. It gets so overwhelming as a single parent watching your child deal with health issues while trying to balance with my 2 other children, working full time and everything else life throws in, so knowing we have someone in our corner has been the biggest blessing! Having a pediatrician that understands that sometimes things come up and don’t wait for a scheduled appointment is huge, if your child needs care she accommodates and will do everything she can to make it happen. She advocates for her patients which to me shows she’s absolutely in the right profession! I highly recommend this doctor!
