Lakeland Regional Health Reviews ( 250 )

  1. This rating is specifically for the Pallative Care Unit. Amy and her team were a wonderful resource for our family as we dealt with the loss of our mother/grandmother. We are grateful for their skill, compassion and support through a most difficult time.

  2. Came here to get my wrist checked out. Went thru the ER and they put me on fast track. I get to the front desk of fast track and sat and waited for my name to be called. A nice lady came to take my vitals she then sent me to another young …

  3. Was on vacation and went in with a broken jaw and was told that is was fractured in 4 places after a CT scan, despite the fact that I could physically feel fully broken bones inside my mouth with my tongue. My chin was stitched up without …

  4. Save yourself time, money and have a more qualified professional work on you at Watson Clinic or literally any other critical care facility in Lakeland. The Staff are slow and care more about their social media than patients. A specialist …

  5. The hospital itself is wonderful but to try to call in or to be connected to a patient’s room has to be the most nerve racking experience, again and again and again. It would help if they hired operators that were actually friendly and also knew how to spell. I found myself driving there faster than getting help on the phone

  6. The Staff dragged their feet when i needed to be seen when the clinic was completely empty. so called nurses would rather talk to their co workers rather than trying to get patients out the door as quick as possible. Lakeland regional …

  7. Worst hospital ever my husband her and he been waiting 24 hours for a CT and they pumped him with pills without feeding him because waiting so long on the test. We are always in overflow. And seem there patients are only a number. Never again. I will never recommend.

  9. The hospital was okay, the staff was kind of rude. My friend was in the emergency room and I had my car valet so I could get him a few things to stay overnight. When I got my car back a few of my belongings including money was stolen out of …

  10. The experience at the new carol Jenkins bldg. was a very bad experience the some of the nurses were very mean to my wife. And when she was moved to 8 th floor on main wing she was treated a lot better. People on main side were so nice and compassionate.

  11. My mom has been in Lakeland as a patient for 2 weeks do to heart surgery, security at front desk named Louis was very rude and had a nasty attitude one pca who was on my moms floor was extremely impatient and rude also(they should check who …

  12. Services at LRH are okay, but not great. I received reasonable care from the ER department recently, but Tampa General is far, FAR, FAR better–in staff, services, quality, and overall care. Lakeland Regional’s billing department is …

  13. Take a look at the reviews being left about this place. Full of grammatical errors, swear words, words not spelled right (e.g. “upmost” and “ex-ray”) complaints about not being waited on hand and foot, and people who didn’t have …

  14. The emergency room is full of quack doctors that have absolutely no idea what they are doing. They have no medical experience and have no business being anywhere near a hospital. One of the EMS drivers even said it was filled with a bunch …

  15. No Handicap Parking, Not ADA compliant and they charge for parking instead of providing parking.
    I am handicap with a heart condition and physical disabilities and I have a …

  16. Friendly helpful staff. Great valet parking service. The hospital staff listen to concerns and try to be as helpful as possible even with difficult trying patients. They respect patient privacy and do follow-up to help patients follow …

  17. Rudest staff I’ve ever met. The front desk were nice but the nurse an doctor were so rude. This is a children hospital and they y’all to people with no type of sympathy, super sarcastic. First and last time I will ever visit this hospital.

  18. I have to share this because these nurses were awesome. I had surgery on January 14 with some complications ended up spending close to 10 hours in the recovery room .my 3 nurses Suzan nichole and meagan were awesome and I really feel it was …

  19. Emergency Room uninsured patients don’t come here, the ER staff is either uninformed or deceptive when it comes to billing questions. I went there in need of stitches for my mouth and head. The local pain clinic would not do my oral …

  20. This hospital is they worse. I have never been so upset sitting in the emergency room. This the second time I’ve been there and i advise everyone to not come here. I wouldn’t trust them with my life nor my daughters. Never again will i step foot in there.

  21. I had both my sons here and stayed in the labor and delivery. I absolutely LOVED the nurses and Drs that helped bring my sons into the world. They have a wonderful staff and the rooms are comfortable. My only complaint would be the old tvs. The cafeteria is one of the best I’ve ever seen in a hospital.

  22. Just the worst experience at LMRC’s ER last night 03/10/2020. Sat in the ER for 4-1/2 hours and never got in to see a doctor or even a nurse practitioner. Never made it out of the waiting area. Triage was non existent and staff just blamed …

  23. If you have an emergency DO NOT COME
    HERE!! Unless you’re white and 80 years old. We were waiting here for over 4 hours!! Just to be told they don’t do first come first serve, “they” (the front …

  24. Lakeland Regional & Watson clinic used to provide the best service to it’s pationt’s that I had seen…used to have a sign on the check in desk that read “if you’ve been waiting more then 20 min. to see your doctor WITH AN APPOINTMENT let …

  26. Worst care ever in the emergency room. The place was filthy and they left vials of blood on a tray a long with the needle tubing. Placed a iv bag on my husband when they knew he was waiting on his discharge paperwork so they could change …

  27. My husband went to the hospital with chest pains in 2015. He waited for a doctor in the ER for almost 5 hours. After that he was admitted and was not able to eat for three days because they kept putting off test. When he went down for a MRI …

  28. I guess it is all how you look at it, I came in with my sister for chest pain, after we were taken to the back area, 4 nurse’s showed up all at once, all seemed to be doing a different task, at first I was overwhelmed, but then one nurse …

  29. I had mixed experiences at this Hospital, all of them were bad until 2 weeks ago when I went to the emergency room for having crippling stomach pains. I’ve experienced this pain before in Jacksonville and the hospital they’re did nothing …

  30. My nephew had been transferred there from Tarpon Springs, FL. It is roughly an 1.5-2 hr drive from here to there. Th he hospital called at roughly 5pm and stated he had been discharged, without notice, and my 67 year old mother was told she …

  31. I was sent to emergency and received 1st class service. I was in the process of having a heart attack and needless to say they did everything possible to get me taken care of. They were really nice and deeply and genuinely concerned for my …

  32. I’d give less than 1 star if possible. I had gone to see my ex boyfriend who had dementia..He looked like he hadn’t been shaved in a week or so.. I was used to shaving him.. the longer you waited .. the tougher it was to shave him. I had …

  33. One of the worst experiences I’ve ever had in a hospital. After arriving in the ER with chest pain, initial diagnosis through a cat scan was a GI problem. The staff then spent the next 24 hours performing every test under the Sun, most of …

  34. The first time my dad was brought in Aug. 14 he was treated very badly the nurses were abusive and he was tied to the bed when I got there. They did not inform my sister and I until after our dad was there for five days. Then the doctor …

  35. As a person in the medical field who has worked in different hospitals, I have to write this review in the hopes that it helps someone. Please do not go to this hospital or take your love ones if you expect any compassion or good care from …

  36. My son came in the ER with server pain in his side. Others came in after him with sore throat and coughs. They made him stay in the waiting over two hours in a lot of pain and throwing up. The ones with the sore throat and coughs were …

  37. They have a special children’s emergency entrance. Colorful rooms, attentive personnel, color changing lights, large screen television plus a foldout couchto sleep on while your child is there. The nurses and staff help take the fear out of being in a hospital for the children.

  38. What this hospital did to me was terrible. I’ve been in recovery five years which I take very seriously and now come to find out im pregnant I just moved here and ran out my prescription which is very serious for me to have or I’ll get sick …

  39. One star because the nurses here are actually pretty hard workers and take care of people to the best of their ability even though they are constantly under staffed. The doctors will NOT attempt to look into your issues. If they give you …

  46. If you’re conscious and have a decision to go here GO ANYWHERE ELSE. This hospital violates your rights protected by statute 59A-3.256 Price Transparency and Patient Billing. No matter how many times you call and ask they will REFUSE to …

  52. They’ve grown too large and are too disconnected. One area doesn’t know what the other is doing. Too many departments contracted out. They lost my loved one’s personal belongings not once, but twice! They failed to transfer on another …

  53. I’ve been waiting here over 2 hours in the waiting area and still no room or help. They are slow and act like they don’t care. Never again I rather go to winter Haven emergency where they take care of you and in a fast pace

  54. Had my baby here via csection right after their new women and children’s building opened. Nurses were wonderful!! From L&D, mother and baby unit as well as the nicu all had the most amazing drs/nurses. They treated me with respect, …

  60. When Polk County commissioners run for re-election, and beg for our votes through adds, photos with former presidents, etc, etc, we need to do what every employer does; give them an evaluation. On quality healthcare in Polk County, FL, said …

  61. Both times that I have had to go to the ER, I was taken care of very fast. Each time the visit was very thorough, and all the doctors/ nurses did not dismiss anything I was saying. My 2nd visit was the most critical, and they handled it …

  62. Absolutely horrible place to go. It’s hot and they don’t care about you. Ive never in my entire life have been forced to sit in such pain for so long! 48 hours over the weekend until they could get me into surgery. So I sat there in their …

  63. Had an outpatient procedure. The surgery center opens at 5:30 so if they tell you 5;00 you will sit in the parking lot. Once in the facility the people are very professional. Shout out to Carrie for her professionalism and for making you feel at home. I would highly recommend this facility and all the people there

  69. I’m wondering if your administration feels they are doing their part to mitigate the rampant spread of covid in our community when you have unvaccinated nurses caring directly for covid positive patients. I’m aware vaccinated nurses could …

  70. I was seen quickly and treated just as fast. I had an emergency appendectomy. The nurses and doctors testing were amazing. The only reason why I did not give a 5 star rating is because at shift change, the night shift nurses and CNA were …

  78. ABSOLUTELY AWFUL HOSPITAL IVE EVER BEEN TO. IN PUT NURSE WORKING 05/04/22 night shift needs a new job. not in healthcare. Rude comments and facial expressions. This hospital is an absolute joke. If you actually have an emergency come to HCA Lakeland Emergency.

  79. This hospital isnt to great. They took 6 hours for nothing last time I went. I showed up at 9 and by 3 am I just got up and left. They’re really all about the money. What I really dont like is they force you to take an xray they tried to …

  131. Horrible hospital experience. Staff is rude, unconcerned and unresponsive to needs of patients. I waited over 30 minutes before they answered my call. Also, hospital is dirty. 3 days stay and no one cleaned my room or bathroom and no one offer to change my bed. Again horrible hospital.

  132. This has to be the worst and most dirty hospital. I don’t know what they have done with putting people in hallways and waiting for like 6 7 hours. This is crazy they had a good system years ago when someone came in and showed them how to run it but I guess that all went out the window how awful to keep people waiting half a night.

  133. The surgeons are good and they have some very high quality nurses. But there is also a ton of attitudes with some of them. I think they are understaffed a lot, as patient’s spend an awful lot of time alone with no one checking on them. …

  134. Worst place ever i arrived at 3pm and pain its almost 6 pm im inside the er people that came in after me was scene before me nurce is sitting at checkin desk on computer waisting time n also going to tell patient you’re not having a seizure …

    get it done

    Pros: the nursing staff was caring but understandably overwhelmed.
    The surgical center seemed clean, but I would not allow my senior husband to …

  138. My Dad was well cared for in the ICU while he was still with us and despite him passing away. Nurses Erik and Michelle and Dr. V were incredibly compassionate and helpful during our difficult time there. We met with Dr. V and even though we …

  139. Not sure why there are so many bad reviews. I will give them 4 stars not 5 because the hospital needs some updating in terms of interior (I found a huge water spot on one of the ceiling tiles and it just felt kind of dirty and stale, …

  140. My father is currently a patient and we have an extremely hard time just getting to talk to a nurse for an update. I haven’t been able to reach ANYONE for 4 days now. If I wasn’t out of state I would have him transferred to another …

  142. Too many people have died from careless mistakes by the doctors and nurses. My boyfriend’s mom died from an infection that they gave her!!! My grandpa died because they didn’t keep him on oxygen when taking him back to his room after …

  143. FYI City of Lakeland is the owner of Lakeland Regional Hospital.
    It’s all about Politics and Money!!!
    It is a really horribly run hospital. …

  144. Don’t ever go to this hospitals behavioral health unit, they don’t watch the patients so if you’re a woman and there’s some creepy patient than fancy’s you he’s apparently just allowed to enter your room at night, take your personal items, …

  145. I was carried in with my fiancée and having a very difficult time breathing, shaking, and nearly collapsed twice from shortness of breath. The employee who checked us in made me feel very belittled, and like I was wasting my time. He told …

  146. I have been dealing with a billing issue since January 24, 2022 and received the run around by both LRH billing and my insurance company, at that time. I’ve already called my insurance company three times and today made my second call to …

  147. Lakeland Regional Health truly only has care and compassion for the amount of money you can pay . If you have insurance the inflation on charges is criminal, they know what they are doing and will squeeze as much as they can out of you as …

  151. I never been to a hospital that the nurse where so rude ! There service time are the worst and they don’t care about the patients just want to push you out and not fix the problem I will never go back !

  152. Giving 2 stars only because the urgency children section of the hospital has a good portion of obnoxiously rude nurses and doctors. On top of it they are way to stern for parents when it comes to a decision that they are scared about, …

  153. Your food is awful. Some of your nurses are rude. I’m schedul for an operation but either the doctor or staff keep changing the date. I need a heart operation for their a 92.% blockage but why rush it. I guess the longer I’m at the …

  154. The 5 star reviews and positive comments on here must be from the employees and nurses that work here because they sure as hell don’t tend to the patients. How could they with their heads buried in their phones. If it wasn’t for them being …

  155. My father was sent early this morning from a health and rehabilitation center to this hospital ER. After 4 hours of no update even though the rehab assured me they gave the information to call me to the ambulance people, I called. They were …

  158. The nurses where super sweet. I was there for 6 days due to lower abdomen pain. They did every test in the book and couldn’t find where the pain was coming from. They kept me there making sure that the pain i was feeling wasn’t normal and …

  159. If I could rate this hospital 0 stars I definitely would. I come to get seen and get checked in at 5am. Been waiting for about 2 hours. There were people walking in the ER after me and being seen before me even though I told them my pain …

  162. My grandfather was in the hospital from 3/30-5/10. First, he was on the 7th Floor of building E and in his last days, he was in the palliative care unit. Every single doctor, nurse, respiratory therapist, staff member, etc we encountered …

  166. My boyfriend was admitted here for a broken humerus bone. The sense of urgency just doesn’t exist. The nurses don’t return for hours or even come back when you ask for them. They just keep you in the dark completely. He was supposed to …

  167. Husband still in the hospital. They say he needs this test done. Radiology never around test pushed back a day and next no one to read it. What a freaking joke. He is supposed to have a procedure was told one day and still not scheduled. …

  168. They leave you waiting in the patient room for almost an hour with a promise to be back quickly or in 10 minutes tops. They forget about you and then blame you for waiting that long instead of apologizing. That happened to my husband and I …

  169. This hospital has really went down hill. It is dirty and the staff could care less if you died in the waiting room as you are waiting for 5 hours to be called back to be seen. Do not come here. Find another hospital!

  170. I wish I could give you less than one star…bottom of the barrel staff and health care….I believe the people that work in this sad excuse for a hospital could not get a job anywhere else….I can’t even begin to tell u how horrible thier …

  171. Waiting room at FastTrac was disgusting. Floors filthy, water bottles and trash left on chairs. Was supposed to receive certain things while I was there. They did not give me anything. Not very professional.

    And every single staff that I interacted with were very professional,did everything they could to help me not stress the procedure I was about to get, …

  177. This Hospital does not recognize religious or medical exemptions on mask. The “head security guard“ that came down could not even tell me that he would protect the rights of somebody with a medical mask exemption at the hospital if they came into the ER. He admitted he was just an order follower and was there to collect a paycheck.

  178. I went into the ER around 1:30pm and right from the start the staff was nice and helpful I had a nurse by the name of Amanda and saw Dr.Kiel both was super informative Thanks to the staff I’m feeling a lot better and was on my way home around 4:00pm

  182. I will only give this place 1 star for the nursing staff was great. The doctor Dr.Christopher Roger’s was HORRIBLE to say the least. He rushed you, made you feel unimportant in your care, ran all sorts of unneccarry and very expensive …

  183. If I could give a 0 I would!! Dr. Wang or tang whatever his name. They discussed medical diagnosis with my 15 yr old austic son when I wasn’t in the room.
    Horrible Horrible place! I’m contacting an attorney.

  184. This place doesn’t even deserve Stars. My wife is pregnant and was treated very poorly from the moment she walked in till the moment she left. Her pain was a 10/10 and she had a 108 fever. They simple told her she needed to wait and there …

  185. Dr.Vega is one of the most unprofessional people I have ever had the displeasure of interacting with. You are genuinely better off asking a goldfish for medical advice. Front of house staff are nice.

  186. So my father in law went in to get stints done. They charged him for it and he paid the bill. After having a massive heart attack we were told they FORGOT TO PUT THEM IN so they literally did nothing and now his time is cut short because of literal incompetence. Enjoy the lawyers 🙂

  187. Visition to my elderly brother became a nightmare after the entire nursing staff failed to notify our family that my brother contracted COVID. He was tested routinely in preparation for discharge. On my next visit 3 days later I went …

  190. From the moment I walked in the door until I left the next day I have never been treated better or more professionally with a caring seldom found anymore. The staff on all levels were exceptional and made me feel like I was the only …

  191. Had surgery today. The operating room staff has been amazing but my recovery nurse is terrible. Hit my button twice in over 5 hrs and have been made to feel like an utter inconvenience because I can’t pee. …

  192. I came to the ER at 3:00 pm. At 9:00 pm I’m still here. I had no call button in case of emergency. I sat in the waiting room for 4 1/2 hours in severe pain. The picture shows what the nurse left an hour ago. Not good. I was here a short while ago and I had the best care. This disappointed me. Especially at a learning hospital.

  193. Common courtesy and professionalism is rare. My mother was admitted several days and many times after a change of shift, the new nurse would come in the room and just straight to the computer without even a greeting or introduction. Many …

  194. WARNING! PLEASE DO NOT take your loved ones to this hospital! Mother received Covid vaccine on the 10th of December and got COVID on the 16th! Floor 6, C wing 😂 Full of incompetence and carelessness! These nurses are lazy and sit around a …

  196. I am in this hospital tonight and I have been waiting for hours for pain medicine. Only to find out from the nurse on shift that there haven’t been any orders written for me. So now we have to wait for the admitting doctor to be found and ok the meds. I have a broken toe and I am dying.

  197. This place is a SCAM. There were doctors who walked in there to ask me once in my 24 hour stay, “how you doin’?”….. and they billed me $800 for the 30 seconds. …

  198. Horrible!!! Been here for 3 hours “ER” and we are still waiting to get called back. You come to the emergency room for a reason, because it’s an emergency!!!! They put you in a room and forget about you. Absolutely rediculous!!!!! This hospital HAS to do better!!!!!

  199. I was taken here last night by Ambulance, I have a heart issue, AFib, I don’t feel safe here, I have been left alone for hours. Haven’t even gotten my daily heart medice, bp is 138/108, asked for a supervisor, they gave me Amy on B4, she …

  200. Soooo this place is very unprofessional. I took my fiancé to the ER because he wasn’t feeling well . The wait time is ridiculous. The people who work here seem like they don’t want to be here . I think they should get other profession. No …

  201. Only reason for 1 star is because I have to otherwise they’d get a -5. My pregnant wife is cramping and spitting and they act like they don’t matter and when asked about how long (we were Already waiting for 4 1/2 hours) they beat around …

  204. My mom had a surgery called TAVR this morning. We were all naturally worried but we knew she was in good hands with Dr. Hasan & Dr. Khanna. The true rockstars are the nurses in the ICU. Meighan and Isbel are God sent. They are so …

  207. This place is just another medical scam. I was in the ER for two hours for a kidney stone and just got hit with a bill for almost $4000. Seriously who can afford that? Not to mention they don’t give you any indication of cost beforehand …

  208. I came into the emergency room with abdominal pain. I was moved relatively quickly to a room where staff evaluated what was happening. I was admitted to another room where medical staff could conduct a more through assessment of what was …
