Alex Qader, M.D.

I honestly give 10 because I got overall satisfaction with the doctor's visit and overall instruction and whatever the doctor's visit and everything was satisfactory. So I would rate 10 out of 10.

Seemed like it took a long time to get CT scan when to me did not seem like there was many people in waiting for treatment?

There was no wait time. They took me right in, got me undressed, put on heart monitors, and hooked up EKG. Everyone was very quick!! Fortunately, no heart attack!! Just pain around heart from a fall.

I have had to use the emergency room a few times. I have always been treated well and in a timely manner, and I'm very happy with the treatment. Thank you.

They were very good. They responded very good, accurate, and they were nice to me, even though I was being a pain. I'm very proud to be in Brookings and a part of this community, and that we're lucky to have that good of an emergency room. I'm very happy with what happened. Thank you.

I was telling the people in the nurse that I didn't want to have a COVID test and I got told, well, you came in here kind of in a snotty way and I really didn't like it because now I probably got to pay an arm and a leg for the COVID test. And I told them too that I did not want to be put on the COVID bill and I still got tested for COVID. I wasn't happy with it, but I guess at least now I knew that I didn't have COVID. Thank you.

I was very satisfied with the help that I got and everybody was present and on the ball. I would recommend your health center to anyone.

I was not impressed with the attitude of the doctor or the nurse that admitted me. Somewhat cold and the only word I can think of at this time is snotty for the nurse and the doctor was aloof and kind of condescending. Not impressed with either of them. The care they gave was adequate. It was a four-hour visit, I believe, to finally find out that I had a UTI. I waited almost three hours before they asked for a urine sample. I think that could have been done earlier in the visit.

Some of the best care possible.

Hi, well the only feedback I would have is when the x-rays came back with no fracture, the doctor never came back and talked to us. And I guess when he checked the foot, he felt around for a while, but he didn't really have him try to walk on it, or anything. So like when we left, he was still not able to walk on his foot at all, so we were not provided any care for crutches, or a boot, or maybe even taping it. So he had to miss school on Friday because he could not walk on Friday. So I thought the doctor could have came back in and possibly just gave us some options on what we could do with that, and the nurse was very vague about what we could *

Very efficient check in process, had a nurse room me in less than 10 minutes. Saw the Dr. within 20 minutes. Treatment in less than 30 minutes. They helped me with my migraine. I will recommend BHS to everyone.

I would like to say that the doctor who was taking care of me that evening was especially easy to communicate with and he covered everything and because I understood everything I've made the decision I will follow his orders to the key and it has a lot to do with who he was and how he told me how I could help myself better I really did appreciate that

The nurses in the emergency room were very nice and very attentive. The x-ray tech that took the CT scan and the x-rays was wonderful. However, your doctor didn't listen to all of my complaints and treated me as if I was drug seeking and not there legitimately for a broken pelvis and a dislocated left arm. He never ordered any x-rays for my left arm at all, even after telling him I couldn't move it. I'm very disappointed in your doctor, but like I said, your nurses and your x-ray tech were wonderful. Thank you.

Nothing is perfect, but they do their best to receive it at Brookings Health Care. Bravo to the team!

Dr. Qater is not my favorite ER doctor. I don't like his bedside manner.

I would just say I was waiting for like over two hours for them to just do a simple 30-second cut to cut off a ring on my finger. So I think I waited way longer than I should have, being, as I was the only one in there.

The staff was great. They were super nice. However, when you sit there for four hours and no one checks on you once, I find it rather disappointing. My son had to go to the bathroom. They walked him to the bathroom. He had to come back on his own and no one came back in to hook him up to his O2 sensor or his blood pressure cuff that kept going off and kept alarming. I had to take care of it and silence the alarms and put him on correctly because no one would come in to take care of my son. I think we should get a big deduction since the nurses weren't taking care of him. I was because nobody came in to help us or checked on us once the entire time. They did the initial check in, the doctor talked, x-ray, and nothing for over two to three hours. Not one person came in our room. So, very poor.

The staff were very kind and caring. The X-Ray tech was exceptional.

staff said they would come back and check on me in minutes and end up being more than 20, even though I could see them sitting at the nurse station. Waiting for the second dose of meds.

Did not like the way the dr did things. Used a different meds then normal and did extra things that didn't need to be done.

A town the size of brookings needs to have more specialist in brookings and not outsourced to say Sioux Falls. Issue could have been resolved that night instead of the next day out of town.

The nursing staff was wonderful when we came in. They were very helpful in trying to get my daughter her blood work done and get a line started so that we could possibly do a CT scan of her abdomen because she was in so much pain that we thought it might be appendicitis. The doctor in was very reluctant, too. He was really worried about all the radiation and more concerned about that than trying to get to the bottom of what was wrong with my daughter. We thought it was appendicitis. It turns out she ended up having a ruptured ovarian cyst on her right side. He did consult with the OB that was on call that night, which was great because they did give us information, which was wonderful, but he was just more reluctant to go ahead and do that. It might just be his personal preference, but for me, the nursing staff was more helpful and more wonderful in trying to get her done and evaluated to help ease her pain and get her back to recovery and being good and wondering if we needed surgery.

The nurse that treated me was very inexperienced

All the staff were great to work with! They were very professional and personable which made the experience stress free. No one likes going to the ER, but after this visit I would just drop in to say hi and let them know how much they are appreciated!!

I would like to say that although everyone at the emergency department did a good job trying to take care of me when I went in, my issue still isn't resolved. And it doesn't really seem like anybody, you know, I said that they looked at my previous emergency stays and it doesn't really seem like anybody really cares too much anymore. So I still have pain and a hard time eating, drinking fluids and stuff. And I'm sober and still the problem hasn't really gone away, but I don't really feel the need to go in or see anybody anymore because I feel like nobody will do anything about it. So I'm kind of at a loss.

This was my second visit to the ER in a couple of days. During both visits, I was grateful for the quality of care I received and that they took my condition/symptoms seriously. Everyone involved from the time I arrived to the time I left was caring. Thank you ALL

The care and concern were evident. I felt well cared for in my distressed state. The one suggestion that I would make is to be sure that each individual who comes into the room indicates their name (first only is sufficient) and their title (RN, CNA, EKG Tech) and what they plan to do. As a retired faculty member in nursing, I indicated to the students who I supervised that introduction of who they were to the patient was important. Overall, the visit and ambulance ride to the Heart Hospital went smoothly. My pacemaker is functioning well. Thank you for your care.

I was not, no one introduced themselves to me, not the physician or the PA, the nurses did not introduce themselves also. They never washed the wound on my head. All they did was put a cold 4 by 4 over my wound on my head. They did wash my hands with 4 by 4, so I had no blood left on my hands. And they left me in the room alone and I had to send my husband out to request a blanket. I don't think the care at the emergency room in Brookings, South Dakota is good.

My experience was really good. I appreciate the good care and I would return. Thank you.

Clean , professional and courteous. Smiled naturally and appropriately. Brilliant team.

This was my second trip into the ER with either myself or my child. Both times I saw Dr. Qader and each time, months apart, he was extremely condescending and treated me like I didn't know what I was talking about. So he will be a reason why I don't come back there, unfortunately, because everything else there is great. But I did not like how I was treated both times. I don't know if it's just me or if he treats everyone that way. Thank you.

The female nurse that we had was phenomenal. She was fantastic and she is the only reason that I even gave you a one on facility. Dr. Qader, however, I will never return to the Brookings Hospital after two incidences now with him. He has got terrible bedside manners. I don't believe he has enough schooling or background to be a doctor. He gave me absolutely no reassurance besides reaffirming that my three-year-old was not dehydrated after a full day of vomiting and not drinking anything besides a little bit of water, besides telling me that she didn't have sunken eyes or cracked lips, even though the nurse also agreed that those are not necessarily signs for a toddler. Those are signs for an adult. He refused to give her an IV unless I requested it, which my insurance isn't going to cover, although I could tell you I know she is dehydrated.
