  2. The initial care received was prompt and efficient. The fact that the hospital was severely short staffed was blatantly obvious, especially since I had to wait 2.5 hours and 3 calls to the Nurses station to get much needed pain medication. …

  3. My partner and I went to the emergency on the morning of May 14, 2021. Our first encounter was a woman who was working with a patient but because I was verbally anxious about my partner’s pain she responded with “Don’t yell at me I am human …

  4. Terrible emergency care. End of story. They sent me home with fluid on my lung.
    I’m now in another hospital looking at a couple of weeks stay. Fawcett said there was nothing wrong with me. My first experience in the ER was not much better.

  5. Seen quickly, staff efficient, nice facility. Once deemed too I’ll for further care, transport and admission to CCH was poorly orchestrated. Little communication once triaged. Left AMA. Would use again for simple stuff.

  6. Everybody knew what their job was getting me ready for surgery maybe 45 minutes in there and they have me shipping to surgery and then next thing I know I’m waking up in my bed and hurting but they tried everything they could to get it to …

  10. Symptoms subsided at 2am, was told I had to wait for doctor to get in in the morning to get dischaged. Doctor said at 8am I could be discharged, Sat until 11:30am before my last choice was to sign out AMA as noone could contact the doctor to process discharge paperwork.

  12. I was at the hospital for ant bites and trouble breathing with my asthma. They rushed me and when put back to do a breathing treatment I sat in a chair which was weird. The problem is I was still wheezing pretty bad and still short of breath and then they quickly were like bye bye now.

  13. I’m a patient in here since arriving by ambulance on Tuesday night around 11:30 pm. I came in with stroke symptoms couldn’t walk my left side numb. People did cat scan were amazing. People in the er were horrible didn’t check on you if it …

  18. The staff from the volunteers at the front door to the nurses, the specialists, the imaging team, Travis, who made me “comfortable”, the whole Cath Lab team. I felt safe , informed and secure. I don’t want to but if I have to be there again I know I’ll be in good hands.

  23. It was the absolute worst experience of my life. Cruel and inhumane. Staff must be overworked and/ or underpaid. They all had a huge chip on their shoulders. They left me lying on the floor of the ER is severe pain vomiting all over myself for over 3 hours. When I questioned them they sharply stated WAIT YOUR TURN!

  24. I wasn’t really that impressed with my visit. Granted, my doctors did an amazing job, but they’re not Fawcett Staff. There seems to be a major lack of communication between nursing staff members. Some are outright rude and unwilling to get …

  25. Wish staff would have been quieter in the halls at night. Person in bed next to me rang his call bell several times during the night and staff did not attend to him quickly. Nursing staff was very polite and helpful. Not everyone can be the way you expect, but I was thankful for all of them. GOD BLESS THE STAFF.

  36. It was the most pleasant ER I’ve ever been in. People are very nice. My only comment is that I don’t need to be called young lady just because I’m 72 and have white hair. I don’t mind being old.

  48. Service was excellent. Very busy ER, doctors, nurses, assistants all hustling. Very pleased and this is the hospital of my choice. Our experience with Fawcett and “other” area hospitals shows Fawcett head and shoulders above other(s) in care, timely service, and effective treatment.

  49. This hospital deserves no stars whatsoever. They almost killed my father, and I know two other people whose family members have sadly succumbed to Fawcett’s terrible care. A nurse doesn’t check on you for at least 15 minutes after the call …

  50. Emergency room personnel were very prompt and sutured up my hand.
    The PA was very friendly and the attending nurse was compassionate. Much better than the previous visit with a two hour wait.Not sure why all hospital personnel enter through the Emergency Room door. Can get congested. GG

  60. Misdiagnosed and had to spend two nights in the incredibly uncomfortable ER before being transferred to a room. When I complained I thought I was running a fever there was no thermometer to be found . After a temp of 103 they decided to test for Covid. I guess you can guess the results.

  61. The charge nurse for the ER is rude and unprofessional. My attending was fantastic even though I was left lying on a gurney in the hall next to the nurse desk and forgot about. The employees at the desk rarely wore their mask correctly. …

  62. I was very impressed with the facility and very knowledgeable people who tended to my care. I would very much use their services for any future needs and very highly recommend them to family and friends.

  63. Had to go to ER at hospital as I had ear infection and pink eye and had to get eye drops and antibiotics. This place just gave me meds for nauseous People here didn’t seem to care.

  64. Fawcett’s was very professional in my hours of need. They acted quickly and precisely recognized the situation I was having and took steps in preventing further harm.

  65. They were extremely nice and understanding and very helpful! I rather go to HCA emergency room in Cape Coral than any other emergency room in Lee county!!!!!!

  66. Horrible experience, came in with a deep wound in my left hand, heavy bleeding and pain, they make me wait 3 hrs unattended without even a pain killer to help the situation, after such of long wait the doctor came to finally take a look at …

  67. At the ER currently. The care is horrendous. Breaks my heart to hear the lady next to me cry that she’s been here for hours without any sort of help just like me. Not to mention dirty, blood on surfaces that I had to point out to the very rude staff.

  68. Everyone was extremely attentive; the service and care was excellent.
    This was our first experience in A hospital in the west coast, I’m very satisfied
    Thank you

  70. I went in for infection in lower throat but they only checked me for a heart attack and sent me out. They wouldn’t even consider my diagnosis which was correct!

  71. I was visiting a relative in Cape Coral and had an urgent medical issue with my eye. I went to the local emergency room at the recommendation of the urgent care across the street. Upon evaluation, they indicated my condition required me …

  72. Therapist Teri has been so kind and helpful getting my fingers’ brace fitted and adjusted. She is so knowledgeable about how for me to handle it being on my dominate hand, etc.

  75. I was admitted on May 9th for pre-op testing for mitral valve replacement. The surgeons were awesome. But then so was the whole staff from admissions to medical team cardiac floor. If they were 100 stars I would give that rating.

  76. As soon as i got to the ER they took me in (quiet that night) David my nurse was great all I can say, and for doctor Perfect my dream Doctor I was in and out in 2/12 hr

  77. Very professional. Staff were caring and Nurses and Techs top notch. Orthopedic ward. From admissions to discharge I was surprised with all of the Google yelp negative comments

  78. This was my first visit here. Staff was all courteous and patient. Offered something for pain, were prompt on x-rays etc. Drs had a good bedside manner. Very pleased.

  79. Probably the worst medical care I ever received. Zero compassion and complete lack of explanation of treatment options. I respect medical professionals and understand how busy it gets. But I really felt left in the dark with no compassion and horrible communication with what was happening during my time in the ER.

  80. Wonderful staff, friendly, knowledgeable and compassionate in the registry OR and radiology departments.I completed 4 tests at Fawcett Hospital, one test was called the gastric emptying test, which took 4 hours. It could of been a …

  81. I had my appendix taken out here. This place has a great staff .works with you on late arrival . Valate parking construction is making it hard but it’s worth it. Best hospital with in 100 miles. And as far as living up and down the east …

  82. The online registration was not a good idea. How do you expect an ER patient to self register on an iPad? your representative was impatient and was mainly concerned with getting 5 stars on the raiting. …

  83. Superb staff and service. Friendly and helpful staff that helped me check in on the touch pad process.
    The doctor and staff listened to my concerns, issues and took corrective action. …

  84. Had a health issue two weeks ago on a Saturday. The staff in the ER were professional and address the problem asap. They are without a doubt a asset to the hospital. Kudos to the entire staff.

  85. Do not go here. The entire staff was rude & unprofessional. The nurse was loudly screaming thru the building that he needed to leave so he could go get drunk. The tech made inappropriate comments about my breasts & then proceeded to let …

  86. The staff was very nice. They explained every detail of what I had to have done. I don’t really like hospitals but I felt very comfortable there. Thank the staff that treated me

  87. This hospital is horrible. Mean staff. A month after the fact, I’ve always paid all bills received, 2 or 3, thousands of dollars for an IV and a pill. Then months later, I recieve a collections bill for another random thousand. I have no …

  88. My husband had an outpatient radiology study. He was shown the utmost courtesy, professionalism and compassion by the radiology staff. As a retired CT technologist, I highly recommend HCA Fawcett for your radiology needs.

  89. I had to go to the ER after passing out when I stood up too quickly. I had to get cleared to return to work. I was dreading a long wait, but they got me in and out rather quickly. It was a good experience.

  90. I used to use this hospital as it was always wonderful in the past. I have alit of medical issues so I am in quite frequently. This time I stayed and had horrible experience. I saw my night shift nurse one time not including admissions. …

  91. My experience was awesome! The staff, doctors and nurses provided exceptional care. My primary nurse was Jim who made me feel comfortable during a very stressful time. He’s a rock star!!

  92. If I could give zero stars I would. I don’t know how anyone who is seriously ill at your facility actually survives without a staunch advocate. Without my knowledge and experience in critical care, my wife very likely would have ended up …

  93. My experience which found me needing a catheter installed was was as pleasant as was possible. The nursing was pleasant and efficient. I was taken care of and treated with kindness and respect.

  94. From the moment I checked in for my outpatient procedure, I had the greatest, most caring staff! Of course, I don’t know all their names, but Michelle in recovery was a doll! …

  95. I was treated immediately and also treated like a Queen with full respect.. I receive the best care ever.. Hopefully I won’t have to go to the emergency room any more but if I do this is where I am definitely definitely going.. Also doctor Pam and missy the RN were my favorites

  96. I would not go here unless you are emergency only and will not need to be admitted. The doctor just wanted d to give my husband pain meds and send us home. He had to be admitted and the pushed port Charlotte vs the hospital around the …

  97. They took care of me. Doctors were very nice. I loved RN Penny at Fawcett.
    Gave me IV potassium. I wish they would have given me a few potassium pills till I could see my doctor. I ended up in the ER two more times. The last time, I …

  98. Most of the staff were capable and efficient while being courteous and kind. That being said, I was there 5 days without a change of hospital gown or bath. Also, my bedding was changed only once because I mentioned it. They need to improve on patient personal hygiene.

  99. Nurses were wonderful! But ER Dr. Worst experience, she seem recently graduated not much knowledge, she said everything was ok when I was not. She send me home only did blood work that’s all when I went to see my regular Dr. He said she should have order a CT scan, ultrasound. Not good experience

  100. Had a mammogram done. I was in and out pretty quickly. Theresa, my tech, was very pleasant. The room was quiet and relaxed. The best experience I’ve had for this type of procedure.

  101. Staff was very responsive. Great instructions by nursing, OT, and PT helped me feel comfortable going home the day after surgery. I really liked that everyone from the OR saw me in preoperative before surgery. Nice to know who is working on you. Great overall experience.

  102. The professionalism of the medical and nursing staff was first rate. All were working together on and ‘command and control’ efficiency. Saw all repsonsible Doctors numerous times and nurses responded in a timely fashion. All staff worked together to make sick patient nursed back to health. Thanks you to all.

  103. The staff, doctor and nurses were the best! My after care nurse was attentive and explained things thoroughly with all the patience you would hope for under the circumstances. And, as an aside, the food was restaurant quality. The kitchen needs an award!

  104. Service was fast and efficient, everyone was caring, I didn’t care for the check in process on the bedside screen thing. Due to my injury it was uncomfortable and I felt rushed.

  105. The nurses and housekeeping staff were fantastic. Private rooms would have been better as room mate needed a lot of attention causing the room to be constantly busy. …

  106. Sharing a bathroom with a stranger daily is horrible. The unsanitary state of the bathroom due to roommate leaving feces on seat or nasty baby wipes faced up in trash can. They need private rooms based on the cost of medical care. I’m …

  107. I had a reverse shoulder replacement at Fawcett and felt the care was exceptional. From pre-op to dismissal, my needs were met. Nurses, physicians and therapists listened and went beyond acceptable to help me. The two meals I was served …

  108. Was admitted for out patient procedure. EVERYONE from the front desk to discharge was kind and upbeat. All medical staff were fully competent, kind, answered fully any questions or gave any help needed. They were very professional in their …

  109. This was the worst medical experience I have ever had and hope to contact necessary authorities to either have it closed or changed. I set in the emergency room for 4 days, a chair for a bed, no water or food and absolutely no care.

  110. It was ok not a lot of people in the waiting room but the nurse practitioner was really nice and came out and saw me fairly quickly but it took a long time after I got my x-ray for my wrist for them to come back out to tell me that it’s not …

  111. I went to Fawcett ER with heaviness in my chest, some chest pain, and some shortness of breath. At the admissions desk, I was swabbed for flu and Covid (both came back negative). Nobody took my blood pressure or temperature. I was told to …

  112. In the ER, worst night of my life! Never got into a room, hall bed all night, lights on couldn’t sleep. Horrible patience all around, had to be moved from dead end hall. Bathroom, blood on wall and dirty floors. Just plain horribly!

  113. Was treated with respect while waiting for test results,they made me feel as comfortable as they could while treating my fever and dehydration from Influenza.They didn’t sugar coat the fact that I would feel pretty lousy for several weeks.

  114. Quickly and accurately diagnosed my life threatening problem and arranged for airlift to a trauma centre. Very professional, kind and timely service. Thank you to all!

  115. The worst hospital we have ever experienced. If you are sick, please save your life and go elsewhere. Our experience with this place was that it was grossly understaffed with quite a few dismissive doctors and nurses. Medication errors, …

  116. Admission to the hospital via the emergency room was a nightmare. I arrived at the ER around 6:30 A.M. Saturday morning. I was placed on a gurnee alongside a wall and stayed there 22 hours before being moved to a bed. I was finally moved to …

  117. The ER was extra busy by noonish but still got excellent service. Ended up with a 4 day stay with Covid. 3rd floor is monitored with lots of staff that run their butts off and still gave me treatment like I was extra important. I had 3 Drs …

  118. I thought the staff was marvelous. But the conditions in that hospital are horrible. To have people who are admitted having to stay in the emergency room on a stretcher and where it is cold, is absurd.

  119. Place is a scam I’m being billed almost 3800 for a couple stitches in my finger. EDIT just to be clear there was no xray or CT scan preformed stitches that was it I also asked how much it was roughly gonna cost and they told me they didn’t know, and I said under 1000 and she said most definitely.

  120. They should listen to the patient re: sugar and health problems.
    as a result they put me on a drip and i asked to be checked every 1/2 to 1 hr and they would not do it. As a result my sugars went up to 600 and then could not …

  121. Great staff—from pre-op nurses, OR techs, PACU nurses, Ortho & Spine nurses, and PT/OT. They kept me calm, laughing, and were transparent about updates for my surgery! I appreciate them so much! My Dr., Dr. Getter is amazing!!!

  122. E.R. P.A. was new but polite and good. Nurse was good although space for admit was limited.
    Nurse in the back was terrible. Listed me as refusal with Dexcom over her …

  123. I was treated with respect and compassion. Everyone one was friendly and very professional. I would advise anyone with health issues to use your hospital and Doctors to get the proper care they need.

  124. They took really good care of me while I was there. It seems to be a great place if you need to be in the hospital. Thank you so much for the care I received.

  125. Pre-op and Post Op was great, except my wife was unable to stay due to Hurrican Ian room issues. Once to the room had issues with getting a nurse, unless my wife went to the nurse’s station. Autumn who was assigned as the PCA was awesome and friendly.

  126. I give four stars only cause even though the place is clean and nice one thing that should be improved is a length of wait time. No matter if a person has a scheduled appointment has to wait often an hour on top of their appointment time.

  127. Went to ER because I had been experiencing chest pain. I had incredible attention and care. The various staff explained what they were doing and why. Fortunately the pain I was experiencing was determined to be cur less serious causes and I was released.with a great sense of.rrlief and understanding.

  128. I had surgery on Monday Sept. 14th. Today is six days later and I am feeling better everyday. Only pain I feel is surgical pain. A little bruised around surgery area. But overall I am doing well.

  129. My care was good, but my husband’s was poor. He was denied the treatment by the director under a false statement by his first therapist, a treatment (traction) that has worked for him in the past. He has a lot wrong with his back plus …

  130. This was the worst experience I have ever had at your hospital. The intake lady was rude and was talking to the staff about how her son was arrested. Also left so long with no place to lay my head that I took my own IV out and left. Then …

  131. Robinn , Cheyenne and Madison were all wonderful, informative and helpful. That is the only reason I’m giving 4 stars. The dr was rude and made it seem as if I was wasting their time. I was not “dying” so I guess my pain was not as …

  132. The recovery team was excellent when 1st coming out of surgery. The 4th floor was not a good experience at all. The nurses call buttons went unanswered and the nurse, Jill, was very rude.

  133. Thank you for your care and kindness. No one wants to go to the ER for a cough, but y’all made me comfortable with my choice. Fast and friendly goes a long way when you’re sick

  134. Excellent care, I have been in other Florida hospitals,, and in other states and I have to say that the professionalism and thoroughness of the staff is to be commended. Considering the hurricane and all the other things that have slowed our medical system lately I have to say that they’re getting it right at Fawcett Hospital.

  135. Had an injury to my wrist area from a chainsaw Check-in was rapid; was seen almost immediately – Fortunately no nerve damage; no cut to artieries or veins; had full feeling and grip i my hand and fingers – needed 14 stiches to close wound. …

  136. Their E.R. is HORRENDOUS! I came in with intense chest pain and over an hour later I’m in a bed but still not being helped and I’ve had to say something to numerous people. …

  137. Horrible. Not only was I awake during an entire surgery, there was a person temporarily in my OR with a blue sweatshirt on. No scrubs but a sweatshirt. The nurse Joanne in recovery was the only nice thing I can say about my experience. Only if I am walking by the hospital and get hit by a bus would I ever return to this facility.

  138. I was sent to the ER by my oncologist, Dr. Wright-Browne, due to shortness of breath and to R/O a pulmonary emboli. I was met with a very efficient staff. Although I was there for just over 4 hours, my diagnostic were done in a timely …

  140. I’m impressed by the quality of care, the professionalism of the staff shows me that the employee are of of a higher caliber. I truly appreciate this hospital. There motto…our family caring for yours…believe it…signed by truly grateful…

  141. I went to wound care. Dr.Sandow? Took care of me and spent at least an hour pulling the skin together. One month later he took the bandage off for good. The wound was 7-8 mm long and about 3-4 mm wide. Now it’s hardly noticeable.

  142. I was in agony with a sore back. Walk-in clinics (only 2 taking pts after Thanksgiving), had a 2°+ wait time. Went to ER and was seen almost immediately! Staff were pleasant and efficient. Dr. Anilus was wonderful and willing to work with me. In and out in 2°. Couldn’t be more pleased!

  143. One of the worst hospitals I have ever had to go to. Waited eight hours for a simple procedure, had two veins blown out and the third one causing a lot of pain for over a week. And had a rude Anesthesiologist. I got an apology the next day …

  144. I had a lung biopsy on 1/12/2023. As a retired RN, I am aware of what makes a hospital great. Fawcett has succeeded. The entire staff treated me with kindness, compassion, professionalism and efficiency. I would highly recommend this hospital.

  146. Couldn’t have been happier that I went to Fawcett. Everyone was professional and courteous and moved me right through xrays, ultrasound and ctscan in record time. Certainly not a routine emergency room visit. Kudos to the staff for their handling of my situation.

  147. This hospital is a dump! Very dirty and understaffed. There is NO patient confidentiality at all. The ER is just an open area, when they call you back, there are 2 people in each space that can hear everything that’s asked and answered. …

  148. I was admitted with pneumonia and the flu and I have COPD. Because of all the problems in the hurricane I remained in a room in the ER for 5 days. With everything I was hooked up to there were times I couldn’t reach a urinal I would Buzz a …

  149. We have had a lot of experience this last year with Fawcett due to unfortunate health developments in my family. Every visit has began with a very warm welcome from the front desk ladies and just continues to be as positive of an experience a hospital can offer when struggling with health concerns.

  151. Don’t go here no doctors in emergency room at all only nurse practitioner was available. This was day after thanksgiving

    Nerve pain, and asked for pain meds and steroids to reduce swelling. They did CAT scan (which doesn’t look at soft tissues) and determined that it had to be …

  154. Sept. 2nd. 22. 2pm – 9pm. Took mother in law to the ER . Large tall heavy Male nurse who was working in the ER was very rude to my wife and her mother. My mother-in-law was dying. He would not listen to what my wife was saying to …

  155. I was a bit disappointed. I know that hospitals are very short handed and busy. Everywhere you go there are a shortage of people, but this is a persons health you’re dealing with. When you are not feeling well the last thing you want is to …

  156. Absolutely horrific!! After waiting over 2 hours for someone to see me my husband asked the 6 laughing, eating staff if there was a doctor working? A tall male nurse stood up and started yelling at us! Asked my husband if he wanted to take …

  157. I fell had to have stitches in my forehead and elbow the DR a nice gal did a great job all the nurses and Tech were very kind to me. I was so impressed I have told my friends my experience I will be back in a few days to have my stitches out Thank you Carolyn

  161. I was in the ER for Covid, short of breath. Got all the tests & everything was fine. Then after 6 hrs, they were going to keep me. I asked why, Dr said your 02 was low. So we watched to watch you. Someone forgot to ask if we had oxygen at …

  162. Horrible. 2 days. Stuck in corner of emergency room. The whole 2 days. No lites. They should ashamed of the whole mess. Most of nurses where good. Some real lazy ones. Waited 3.5 hrs to get xray report back. Then doctor leaves hosptial. …

  163. The ER doctor on call was great, but she was basically a “one man show”with incompetent help; all while her “help” vocally complained about the other employees. The lack of help to remove a foreign body from my husbands hand led him to …

  164. I was feeling pretty rufff when I reached the emergency entrens, after a short wait for my turn to start complaining I could tell I was in good hands they checked me out then checked me in I had a week stay and was very comfortable the …

  165. Spent 7 hours in the ER sitting in a chair. I was so sick as I am so sure there were many others as sick or worse. I went in with cold symptoms, chills, body aches, headache which I had had for 2 weeks. A chest xray was done shortly …

  166. They misdiagnosed my husband when he was admitted on Tuesday, 8/30/22. They said that he had no infection and that he had gout. They wanted to send him to the county north of us. Not the county we are in. I took him home and our RN friend …

  167. This was the most horrific experience ever. Lack of leadership from the administrative level on all accounts. Traveling nurses from everywhere with poor direction due to no base in the hospital. I will never go to that hospital again as I …

  168. My one week stay at Fawcett Hospital could not have could not have been better . your staff was very professional and took great care of all of my needs. I must compliment the kitchen staff who provided awesome meals with top quality tasty food.

  169. Did not even get examined the CT was scantly reported. Did not address my true issue. The EMT was very unprofessional calling me honey. Also, ripped my IV out. Was told I was being discharged without even hearing this from PA. The PA rushed me through like I was a bother. That’s the truth! I’m a retired nurse who has worked ER, horrid!

  170. Pre-op efficient and organized. Operative procedure with unexpected bruises and abrasions unrelated to operative site. Post-op four (4) hour wait for bed in ICU. ICU makeshift room with malfunctioning vital signs monitor, no privacy for …

  171. Had a Cardiac cath on 9/6. My care was excellent. I had several nurses (Dave, Jessica, and my admitting nurse whose name escapes me) that were very reassuring and knowledgeable.

  172. Had a myelogram and had to lay on my back for 4 hours straight afterward and I could get nothing not even a Tylenol. I was in excruciating pain and nothing was done to help me. I was told they were going to take care of me and make me …

  173. Great hospital, very through in labs and tests plus majority of the staff has great bed side manner BUT I didn’t like my recent visit where they shared my diagnosis with the entire ER lobby that was busy. The doctor did that with a few …

  175. Came to pick up my roommate from surgery. At 11 am nurses said the nurse practitioner would be around shortly. 3 hours later I had to go to the nurse’s station to see when the NP would be here. They sent her another text. At 2:30 she …

  176. I had no wait time and was immediately treated. Missy was my nurse and she was awesome, thankfully all of my tests were negative and I was discharged later that day. They all took great care of me and hope I don’t need them but if so I will definitely go there before the local hospital ERs.

  177. Things started off really well there and was taken very good care of. I had to get blood cultures done and did not know they were not supposed to take from same arm. So things were contaminated and ended up having to stay at the hospital …

  178. Super friendly and reassuring staff. Excellent meals. A very nicely equipped room. The staff made my knee replacement surgery and following PT a walk in the park rather than the nightmare I expected.

  179. I am overwhelmed at the professional care as well as the compassin and concern shown me during my hospital stay at Fawcett. What an amazing crew and staff. Very very impressed and will not hesitate to return to Fawcett should the need arise

  189. Emergency room staff excellent. Experience was not as good as it should be but not the fault of the wonderful staff. Hospital had lost 2 floors due to hurricane Ian and there was no rooms available to admit the overwhelming influx of …

  190. I was admitted for a test. My length of stay was 3 days and 2 nights. I was on the second floor. The care I received from every employee of the hospital from my nurses to the patient care assistants to the cafeteria workers was excellent. Everyone was kind, considerate and helpful.

  193. The ER Doctor was very good. I had a problem with the Nurse she was bee bobbing with her music on her phone while she was trying to set up the room to put my shoulder back in its socket. The doctor came in to set it but couldn’t because the …

  194. Anesthesia team was brutal. 3 days to recover my voice and pain to subside from breathing tube. Hospital added unneeded tests to pad the bill. Chest Xray, EKG, both were done one month prior. Blood work, urinalysis. Also unneeded. This was outpatient surgery. Never again will I go to this hospital.

  199. I am 78 years old and this was the best hospital stay I have ever had. My Dr. was AWESOME, the ICU nurses were incredible, the blood draws and needle sticks went off without a hitch. Even the temperature in the room was perfect. Don’t want to have to do it again, but if so, I like another stay just like this one.

  200. VERY unsanitary conditions (see photo of rusted iv bag holder in ER) The cardiac doctors were arguing about the care of my father and the staff did not communicate with us OR each other. They left my father in a room with a …

  201. I was told by every one of my doctors that I could go home. Except one. Who doesn’t even know me. Out of 8 doctors, he said that I couldn’t go home. If the patient could see only their own doctor, it would be a lot easier. Doctors that …

  202. Once I got into the ER the Doctors nurses and EMTs were great. It was getting there took a while. I was left bleeding in the waiting room for quite a while. It wasn’t till I mentioned being light headed that I got in.
