Pharmacy Services
I was so pleased with my experience at the Pharmacy yesterday. The slip for my number had that I would be waiting about 25 minutes for my turn, it turned out to be only 15 minutes wait time. I really appreciated knowing the approximate wait time and then to be pleasantly surprised by it taking less time. I also enjoyed the waiting area with the television news and the announcement of whose turn it was. Very helpful for those of us who can't hear the loud speaker that well. thank you for making the best pharmacy experience I've had in years. Rite Aid always takes an hour or two to get my prescriptions and then they can't even get the billing right. So THANK YOU for having such great service!
Wilkerson Pediatric Clinic
Just want to give a shout-out to Nurse Rank in the Pediatric Clinic. My son had a 10:00am appointment today. We were called back a little early and she walked into the exam room at 9:55am, BEFORE the appointment time! Thanks so much for getting us in and out so quickly!!!
Troop Medical Clinic #2 (TMC2)
All 4 people we saw did a masterful job. They were quick, friendly, and nice. These people were Ms.Nolan, Mr. Morris, Ms. Sweeney, and SPC Vanburen. Thanks!!!!!!!!
Troop Medical Clinic # 2 (TMC2)
Mr Morris was very professional and took care of my needs!
Troop Medical Clinic #2 (TMC2)
Front Desk Mrs. Nolan and RN Mrs. Sweeney were both very kind!
Exceptional Family Member Program
I am currently going through the process of attaining Command Sponsorship, and paid a second visit to the EFMP office this morning with my son, who also had to have his PPD read downstairs this morning. The first visit, I spoke with Ms. Hunt to get clarification, and information on how to complete the process because I had received conflicting information from my current organization. That initial visit, she was extremely friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. She offered me her business card and asked me to call if I encountered any issues along the way. This moning I returned to have my 5888 completed, and both she and her counterpart (forgive me for not getting her name) were both pleasant and helpful, and the other employee even went as far as to give me some book information about a book we spoke about for my son, and offered him books and toys to keep him distracted while I spoke with Ms. Hunt. I spent several years at Fort Eustis, and comming from a military background with my parents as well, have been in the military health care system my whole life. It is very rare that you find pleasant employees, especially in the same office, that enjoy their job and take pride in assisting customers, and can do so even at 0800. Thank you and please express my thoughts to that office in helpoing to make this process easier.
Primary Care Clinic (Family Medicine)
I want you to know I have the same feelings about the care we have received from Dr. Bilinski (not sure of the spelling) in the primary care clinic. He is the best doctor I have ever seen, in over 30 years! Dr. Bilinski made me feel like there was no stone unturned in researching the reason for the pain in my neck and chest. He has helped me very much and having him available to help people after 1600 has made a significant difference in my ability to make an appointment. I also love the 0600 AM pharmacy. We have been through a lot in the last 2 years, and our care has been exceptional at Kenner! Thank you all very much!
Department of Behavioral Health
The care that I received from the behavioral health staff at Kenner Army Health Clinic was better than the previous expeiriences I had at MAMC Fort Lewis. I was also given care at Poplar Springs, located in Petersburg, Va. The care that I received there completely changed my life. PTSD is a life long issue, I will deal with but now I have the tolls to recover and drive on in every day life. Thank you for the care and compassion.
Primary Care Clinic (Family Medicine)
Ms. Blair Kazlo, Primary Care Clinic (Family Medicine), has provided my wife and I superb and timely customer service on numerous occasions the past 4 months. Her professionalism, knowldge and sense of urgency is commmendable. We had several time sensitive referral requirements which she quickly coordinated allowing us to receive important medical treatment on schedule. I strongly recommend her excellence be recognized by the Command.
Pharmacy Services
We are especially grateful for the support and service we received from Kenner's Pharmacy staff today. We were confronted with what for us were a couple of new circumstances. We called in about 7:30 this morning with our questions. Denise was helpful and knowledgeable. Thanks to her competence and attitude we were able to go to the pharmacy prepared for what was expected of us and how to accomplish what needed to be done. Once there, there was a short delay for a mandatory staff meeting, but during which we became familiar with the newly integrated TV and customer number notification system - impressive. We were assisted with our prescription by Melody. Despite the slightly unusual circumstances, she followed through on the guidance provided by Denise earlier. In a word, your team batted 1000 for us today. Since one of our prescriptions was for an antibiotic that is part of a prep for dental surgery on Friday, and was thus critical, your competence, professionalism, and attitude of service were critical. Thank you - all of you. You were there when we needed you, and in a big way.
Internal Medicine Clinic
Dr. (Maj) Daniel Selassie, Ms. Sharon Adams, and the entire internal medicine staff have done an outstanding job helping my wife through her medical issues. They are always quick to respond to her needs and very professional. We really appreciate their efforts. They deserve recognition for their exceptional work!
Dietician
Ms Tanner is outstanding person and professional. I’m still required to see her in the future for assistance.

 Additional Feedback

Constructive Patient Comments with Kenner Resolutions
I went to the Primary Health Clinic, at Kenner Medical Clinic and requested a blood pressure on myself. I was informed that a doctor had to request a blood pressure test. Please let me know if this policy exist and explain the purpose of the policy.
 
Kenner Response:  You ask a very good question. Kenner Army Health Clinic does not provide simple blood pressure screenings on a routine basis to the public. We are not currently staffed to break away to address any issues that may come up with abnormal blood pressure findings in a screened beneficiary, to include nutritional and life-style counseling and, potentially, urgent treatment/referral for severe derangements.
 
As much as Kenner would like to provide this kind of public screening service routinely, we can currently only support it on special occasions when we can dedicate the proper staff to address the above issues (such as health fairs).  Thank you for your feedback!
Pharmacy Services

The change at the pharmacy for obtaining refill prescriptions is creating unnecessary hardships on both the pharmacy and patient. Please go back to going to one window for refills that have been called in without having to take a number. This system worked great and there was hardly ever any wait time at all.

Kenner Response:  You do not need a ticket for a refill. We discontinued that practice about a week ago.  Window #7 is the refill window.

If you have called in your refill (or completed on-line) 72 business hours or more in advance, your medication should be waiting for you. Thank you for your feedback!

Kenner Child Policy
We received concerns from many parents about our child policy restrictions for patient appointments.  Kenner Army Health Clinic (KAHC) understands that military spouses are often in the challenging position of having their spouses away or deployed, and some find it difficult to find and/or pay for childcare. 
 
Kenner Response:  We have heard your concerns and changed our child policy for patient appointments!  Kenner now allows children to attend appointments with their parents.  Please understand that 1)  No more than two children may attend with the parent, 2) No children are allowed during procedures or during behavioral health appointments, and 3) If the child misbehaves and is not controllable by the parent, the provider retains the right to terminate the encounter and ask the parent to reschedule. Thank you for your feedback!
Patient After-Hours Phone Number
Patients periodically noted difficulty reaching (or waiting a long time to get an answer) at our AOD desk after hours.  A recommendation was made to get an additional phone line setup and retrain the personnel manning the phones.
 
Kenner Response:  In cooperation with the Garrison NEC, Kenner has now been able to get two new phones placed at our AOD/Information Desk (734-9000) with built-in roll-over capability for multiple inbound calls.  Additional phone features now allow our AOD to put one call on hold and respond to additional simultaneous inbound calls.  Thank you for your feedback!
Pharmacy Services
I had a bad experience on Friday at the Kenner Pharmacy.  It was close to a 2 hour wait. I had to leave in the middle of getting meds (to pick up a child drom daycare) only to be told that the prescription had to be cancelled completely (when I could have come back in 5 minutes to get it and I did).  1) BRING BACK THE RED NUMBERS OVER EACH BAY (the elderly cannot see or hear
the new flat screen in... the lobby; the red number system worked best; just fix it. 2) YOU NEED MORE STAFF ON DUTY. It's a headache enough for family members to deal with long wait times (especially spouses waiting with small children), but this is shameful and embarassing for retirees and the elderly to have to sit that long and endure a system that's not designed with them in mind. 3) You can save paper and the environment by doing what drug stores do, allowing customers to opt out of all of those print-outs for meds--especially if they are repeated monthly prescriptions. I don't have time to complete a survey, so I hope this makes it to the Commander of the clinic. Contact me for details if you'd like to. Thanks.
 
Kenner Response:  Our biggest problem currently is our waiting time. We compared our patient volume over the past few months to that of the last year. Our volume at the pharmacy has gone up considerably, while our staffing has remained flat.  Part of the increase in volume is related to Walgreens no longer accepting TRICARE scripts. Another reason is that co-pays at other pharmacies and insurance plans have increased significantly. These changes appear to be driving patients to our pharmacy for their meds. Without an increase in our staffing, we are seeing longer waiting times for patients who come to us during our peak hours.  This does not appear to be related to our new Q-flow system.  We are currently working on hiring more staff to make up for the increased volume and are working to add window number displays to our Q-flow patient numbering system.
