My husband went for surgery to have a tumor removed from his lower lung.
He had excellent care by the staff , especially nurses Sarail , Danny and Anna in ICU. Wonderful caring people.
OMG!!! The worst hospital I have ever been !! Some of the nurses were ok but the food the environment, nurses took for ever to showed up to the room and I would not recommend this hospital to anyone specially to any pregnant women looking for a good hospital to have their baby! Go to Brandon Regional 10 thousand times recomendable!!!
The surgeon was a genius!! Taking skin from my mouth, he repaired a ureter for me. Amazing work, just amazing.
However, no pain relief while I was in the hospital and then also when I went home. It was agonizing.
I highley recommend you go elsewhere, walked in with a dislocated shoulder and 3 hours later walked out with a 22k bill. Charged me multiples times for X-rays to see if my shoulder was back in place when I was telling the doctors multiples …
I went to see my sister . it was lunch time. Needless to say she never recieved her lunch that she put in for. If i would have not went and got her lunch. She would not have eaten. This wasnt the first time either.
I had Whipple Surgery at TGH…. all of MY SURGEONS were AMAZING!!! the best surgeons in the world!!!! and I thank them ALL deeply for saving my life!! I also had three nurses that were amazing and I thank them for their care, compassion …
Highly recommend!!

Unhappy with my birth experience. It’s taken me nearly 4 months to come to terms with everything that happened. Too many changing nurses, inconsistent care, inconsistent regulations around covid, not breastfeeding supportive environment. …
Every time we go it’s a long wait, at least 4 hours before a Dr comes to see you. I am going to look for a new hospital for emergencies.
Generally the service was pretty good, but I really would like to acknowledge and say a big thank you to nurse Kim. She was a great support and comfort while my son was in terrible pain. I was able to focus on providing emotional support …
My wife came to TGH due to pregnancy issues that our local hospital could not handle. She went in a few days before the pregnancy happened because of blood pressure issues and the movement of the baby felt off. They ended up discharging her …
I had to go the the ER recently and I was a little hesitant because of some of the reviews I read on here. I am new here to Florida so going to a new hospital or doctor can be very uneasy because you never know how you will be treated or if …
WORST HOSPITAL EVER. I can in to the er at 12 in the afternoon and was mot seen or treated until 8 pm at night. When i got to my room oh that’s even more of a joke. My iv bleeding out told for 24 hours it would be changed and never got …
Probably the worst hotel I’ve been too. Staff was nice everything else bad I couldn’t fit into 120 characters
I had an outpatient surgery on 3F on July2, 2021. The only reason I did not give five stars was due to the wait time. I overreacted due to stress. All of the people were very kind and professional and patient. I do not remember her name, …
Very terrible service. I waited 17hrs to be told they couldn’t do anything to help me. Mean while I went to ER because I was having severe abdominal pain. Little did I know it was due to gallstones. ER Nurse practitioner told me that I had …

Everyone says this is a good hospital for heart surgery. This is the absolute worst hospital I have ever been in! Over 5 hours & no one has even taken my vitals! Say what you want about Brandon but I’ve never had this experience there. I …
I was always told by my Dr, (part of TGH group) if you have a real emergency head to TGH, it’s the best hospital in Central Florida. I brought my mother to the ER Christmas eve. I have never been in a dirtier place in my life. Absolutely …
Got here at the ER at 11:50pm and it’s currently 7:15am and no updates. Were told there would be a room available “soon” at 3am. The reason for coming is not being able to breathe, heart burning very bad, etc. If you aren’t bleeding …
I visited TGH while about 33 weeks pregnant due to some cramping. After they checked me out, they decided to keep me admitted until I gave birth. My water broke about a week later and I had an emergency csection, my twins were brought to …
Not the best hospital the people were nice but not the cleanest place especially for being a hospital. The picture is a sandwich on top of a used mask in the middle of a hallway.

Tampa general is the worst. Their care for their patients is the worst I’ve ever seen. They are lazy and do not have the patients best interest in mind. I’m sure there are some good nurses there but the two experiences I’ve had with several …
I was a patient here for 6 weeks Dr. Swoboda,Ania, and your entire team gave me my life back. I am so grateful Dr. Vara referred me to you. I want the world to know I received top notch treatment at Tampa General nurses was good Too.(Judith) thank you!!!!! you always smiled and showed Care.
Certainly my experience was that day in Tampa General Hospital was they meet expectation and exceeded. I had a procedure. Every single person. I truly hadn’t had such an experience in Florida other than the care at Winnie Palmer and All …
Cussed us out and called us stupid
for not allowing a minor in the back to see his father who was greatly injured. Minor had to go and wait OUTSIDE the hospital!
TGH markets themselves as one of the best hospitals. I beg to differ. I’m currently inpatient at TGH and having one of the worst hospital experiences in my 8 years of being sick. Last night my nursing team never brought me my medicine, to …
Do not come here!!!
The doctors, once they determine what your insurance will pay, practically blackmail you into doing procedures and surgeries. They know that if you won’t follow …
Horrible! Trying to get in for PT and the line is STAGNANT! People behind me are talking about missing their appointments. Just awful. Has to be a better way. So far waiting 8 minutes to get in. Thumbs down!
Greatest place on Earth for heart related issues and transplant. These people are the top professionals in their fields. Have the process down pat.
They charge to park. St. Anthony’s doesn’t. The signage to find patients’ rooms isn’t good.
This hospital should be investigated, this is one place nobody should go or end up. I was treated here for covid and it was the worst experience in my life, prison would have been better. From not getting food for 3 days never being able to …
It was the worst experience of my life.
Waiting in a bed in the aisle for 7 hours , to check the cause of my lost vision in the left eye. The nurses were horrible. They left me badly bruised after …
Tampa General Hospital is the best Hospital in Florida. They have the BEST EXPERIENCE in Heart disease and prevention. The BEST for burn 🔥 victims. The BEST for many other surgeries. Associated with University of South Florida with the BEST training for internship. I would recommend Tampa General Hospital without any hesitations. …
I went to TGH since it’s advertised the best in Tampa. The ER was crowded (I expected it) and I waited patiently for 3 1/2 hours. I went because I had an abscess in my upper lip that was drained in an urgent care and it was worse. I am a …
I was hospitalized 8/22 from Coronavirus, my experience at this hospital was horrible. I thought Tampa General was a nice hospital because how it sits on the water. I had never stayed here before, they never came in and cleaned my room. The …

I was in the hospital for a little over 5 weeks in 2020. My illness was horrific however my surgeon along with ALL staff was wonderful. I received the best care. There will never be enough words to say thank you to everyone. My surgeon will …
ER stinks my 21 year old went in with chest pains at 9:27 pm they asked for copay up from jn the ER was not brought in to a bed until 1:53 am. Still with chest pains. They are extremely busy. So you just have to wait. Hopefully your won’t get worse
Awful. Everything they did was wrong. Started with placing immuno compromised patient in room with other patients. To an unnecessary spinal tap, to having to redo an MRI because they didn’t do it correctly the first time, adter waiting 2 …
Me and my wife have been here since around 4:30 pm. It’s now 11:38 pm. The docs have no idea what’s wrong with my wife. We have been in the hallway now for 2hrs. No rooms. I will never come here again.
Worse place ever. I came to the ER feeling really bad; I was having so much pain. They asked me some questions and made me wait in the waiting room. I took an Advil for the pain, and it helped me dealing with the pain. After 1.5h i gave up …
In the last 4 months my husband had been to James Haley VA, St. Joes North, Advent Health Wesley Chapel and to TGH. TGH saved my husband’s life. All those other hospitals and weeks and days of not getting the right care TGH had the …

From the moment I arrived to the ER it was obvious by the filthy wheelchair that cleanliness was not a priority. Then I was put on to a gurney that had dried blood all over the hand rails from there I was admitted to a room that had a …
Only issue I have is the extremely long wait for testing and lab results, and some unprofessional attitudes and behaviours from lower support staff like golf cart drivers, and some clerical reception staff, however all the nurses and …
I went to the ER because I had a headache for a week and one of my toes was numb for 3 days. Once there, my headache improved. The nurse saw me and came back to tell me the physician will not see me because my symptoms improved. I paid …

Unbelievable.. I thought I was alone until I read others reviews. I waited for 3 days to get a 40 minute test. Rushed to the ER to wait 2 more days. ER nurses did a nice job though. Was visited by about 10 different nurses throughout my …
Here’s a microcosm of the stupidity here – I sure hope the actual care is better than the gift shop, maintenance staff and general organization of this place. Cafeteria is phenomenal though – fabulous omelettes
Had such a great experience giving birth here at TGH on March 25th, 2021. The nurses were so helpful and answered all of my questions (I had a lot since I am a first time mother) When it came time to get an epidural I requested, my body …
Definitely will not be back to this hospital EVER. I would have to die and be born again before I ever step foot in that building. Let’s just say my entire experience was horrible from the moment I stepped foot into the Emergency room. …
I’m a person without a job and TGH helped me be allowed medical attention and prescription with superior care. I’m so thankful for the doctors. I’m truly greatful for the nurses who helped me along my stay. All of my services were received promptly and I was truly cared for. Thanks TGH for all you’ve done.
Horrible patient care!!! Don’t get me wrong there are fine doctors and nurses in every hospital but my husband had Cancer pre Covid days and he waited a day and a half in a hallway in the ER because no beds available in oncology but open …
Update #3….well here we are again with putting patients in the hallway. If someone is admitted for a 12 day migraine, why would you put them in a hallway with bright lights and usual hallway/hospital noises?!?!?! Y’all have to do better …
My mother started to experience chest pain and I told her to go to the ER. She lives in Bradenton, I live in St Pete but I recommended Tampa General. She told them she had chest pain and was in triage in second, her EKG abnormal and …

From Gina at check-in, to Jessica and Dr. Dean at triage, Audrey and Stephanie in the emergency department to everyone else (whose names I forgot or did not …
I only give 1 star due to the staff at the front check in. After traveling from ohio, I came there to see my father. He was in a coma and in icu. The curly hair lady told me room 908. And I tried to ask her if they changed rooms. She then …
Awful when it comes to pregnancy follow up. I had the 3 hours glucose test, they didn’t provide a room where I can lay down and wanted to keep me 3 hours sitting on my butt at 32 weeks pregnant. They also kept me an extra hour waiting for …
This is a warning to anyone that plans on delivering a baby there that has a condition. I was diagnosed with cancer at the beginning of my pregnancy and was transferred here for my prenatal care and delivery due to me being high risk. I had …
Absolutely HORRIFIC before you even get in the door the staff is UNBELIEVABLY rude, unprofessional and nasty. TRUST ME DONT COME HERE. ONE OF THE ABSOLUTE WORST HOSPITALS.

I have been waiting in the ER for 5 hours now. Many people have arrived after me and are brought in before me, they didn’t look any worse off than me. I’m having complications from having covid a month ago, my GP sent me here all the way from lakeland to get better care, so far thats not happening.
I just want to thank all the Dr’s and all the staff who took great care of my wife during her stay at Tampa General. My wife had a liver transplant and the care she received was in my opinion was best ever, she would not be here today had …

Been laying in a holding room for 4 days with no way to get a bath or shower. Want us all to bathe in the sink. There’s only one bathroom. So unclean.
This Hospital has been great for the past three years and all the previous staff interventions had been great til today.The GI team was great until the procedure was finished.And I had pain in my left side where the pancreatic tubes reside. …
Stop being greedy and realize your Nurse techs are just as important as the rest of your higher paying staff. Discounting their COVID pay but keeping others that are ranked higher is a complete slap in the face. They are already working for …
To whom this may concern or the CEO,
I’ve never seen a hospital in my life that treats and serves patients the way you do. Every hospital in the nation should run and operate the way this one does. …
Just to start the doctors and care team at this Hospital are exemplary and provided my son the best care. This review is directed at the emergency room security team posted at the door to the ER. I want to begin that I received a call to …
I start by writing, thank you for providing care. But I ask for AWARENESS. My child went in for fever and constipation. Not for a urine infection. He is seven months old and instead of using a Pediatric Urine Collection bag, they used a …
Tampa General really helped my father get his life back after his brain aneurysm. They really care about their patients. Thank you for everything you did for our family.
These reviews are true. Don’t come here. My 2nd experience, surgery, has so far been abysmal with Deena from “benefits” being the worst part of the entire process.
I would like to thank and recommend Alexandra
Fahrenholtz a traveling nurse that provided me with excellent service. After my surgery she made sure I was comfortable, updated with my surgery results and made me feel safe. Thank you very much.
Very large hospital on a tiny island so parking is Not ideal, but I guess if you’re sick and you need to go to the hospital, it’s as good as any
ZERO STARS IF POSSIBLE!!!i tested positive with Covid the day before my scheduled cesarean with my very first child (miracle baby; should have been such a special time) I took all the precautions, even got vaccinated while pregnant. I don’t …

I have had a total of 7 surgeries for various reasons at different hospitals but this was by far the best experience I have ever had with a doctor (Dr Emad Mikhail), nurses, and the hospital itself! Everything was so smooth and organized. …
The staff, volunteers, nurses all way to the physicians. Thanks Dr. Carrion and Anesthesiologist team. I hope I was not to much trouble. …
I left the hospital after Waiting 14 hours for a room 9-15 what a waist of time, money. X-ray, blood test. Why do all that . If you have no rooms . Not sure if I should go back. Today.
How do you rate a hospital administration who places troublemakers in charge if the Departure Lounge pick up driveway? ……
I came to the ER after I fell off an electric scooter while visiting Tampa on vacation. For the most part all the staff was pretty friendly. However, being a RN myself I am highly disappointed in the care given that night. Basically, I sat …
It should not take 4 hours to be discharged. This is absolutely absurd. Let alone the lunch I couldn’t eat because I am in the hospital for intestine flare up and it would have made my stomach worse.
Waited 10 hours to be seen. The waiting room and patient rooms are dirty and unsanitary. …
After a horrible experience at the Wesley Chapel Urgent care office for a Covid test I should’ve known the experience wouldn’t be better at the hospital. I was released after surgery and wheeled to the pharmacy. The nurse checked and double …
This is the dirtiest nastiest place I have ever seen you people should be ashamed to call this a hospital I’ll probably end up with some disease just from being there and the nurses ha don’t care a bit smart a—————! Take your commercials off tv you’re a lie and a joke and your robot malfunctioned hmmmm
Tampa General Hospital for me is the best hospital in Florida the staff and doctors really care. I’ve never been treated better then at Tampa General Hospital the nursing staff at the neurological Ward ICU really care about what they do …
TGH is truly awarded for their expertise and chosen for their care. My personal favorite hospital and amazing place to work as well. I love that they are one of the only hospitals in FL that are recognized for being Mother and Baby Friendly …
Absolutely find another hospital to go to!! Dirty, blood on floors in hallways, complete rude staff!! While my husband waits parked in a hallway a car accident victim waited for over an hour with not one Dr. Or nurse to see her. She got up bleeding and left!!
Took my elderly mother there because she is a very sickly woman with numerous medical conditions. I woke up to her having a fever and body aches. (Please note, she was in a closer hospital the week prior for pneumonia and bronchitis). I …
Don’t come to this place unless you don’t have any option… more than 7 hours waiting for a stone kidney and they had two urine samples and after 3 hours they said they need it a third one, I understand they might be busy but not even the …
I worked in the security department for almost 2 years. They made the job there seem it was the best career choice and an honor to work in such a place; it was a nightmare!!! You would be reprimanded for doing you’re job, the supervisors …
First I would like to say the nursing staff is top-notch. Before my surgery though the doctor more than one doctor used scare tactics on me to try and get me to take a blood transfusion during my surgery very disturbing.
What a nightmare of confusion, irresponsibility and miscommunication. My husband was just discharged he had to go ama because they kept him there most of the day promising dialysis as he is in end stage renal failure. It was finally …
The surgical team along with anesthesia and OR Nurses are phenomenal! Extremely disappointed in how things were handled for my 85 year old mother after major surgery! I don’t know where the miscommunication occurred, but when an elderly …

I was there over the weekend. The staff was amazing. Unfortunately, I was in for a brain aneurysm. A neurosurgeon came to me and told me that he would see me 1st thing in the morning and we would go over a game plan on the procedure that …
Came in through ER on Fri., as requested by TGH Urgent Care, for rapid heart rate. Tested positive for Covid at the ER. Asymptomatic which they tried to over treat, like someone in great distress. I refused treatment. Got a CT scan on Sat. …
This has to be the worst hospital. First, the wait in the emergency room is ridiculous. Then some of the patients starting fighting over a reclining chair. Takes forever to get results from labs and x rays. I’ve never experienced anything …
I arrived at the hospital around 5 in the afternoon with vaginal bleeding while pregnant. And it is the WORST experience I have ever had in my life. I was in the waiting room for 2 and a half hours and the only thing they did were blood …
I’ve had 2 kids at TGH and received great care on both occasions. My child had to stay in the neonatal intensive care unit for 4 days and I was very impressed with the nurses caring for all the sick babies. Everyone complains of hospital food, but it was actually good. Keep up the great work TGH team!
Grateful for the surgeons who delivered our son, and the medical care we received. However I still have a bad taste in my mouth from the absence of general patient care. If any of our plethora of nurses cared about our families convenience …
My mom was taken by ambulance to TGH 12/31/21 and then spent an entire month there in the ICU. The nursing staff was absolutely incredible. They truly love what they do. The doctors assigned to my mothers care were Also outstanding …

Great hospital , my brother had open heart valve repair and the procedure went well. Place is clean but complicated to move within. Must follow many signs to get around but coming more than once you will be able to manage better. My brother was very satisfied with the procedure He had done.
I am editing this review to give a more honest appraisal of my experiences at Tampa general hospital. My first review was for my January, 2022 visit and it was a bit chaotic. But I realized that was near the peak of the covid crisis again …

I just had surgery yesterday and everyone was so nice and very thorough with all the information that I needed without being overwhelming. They go out of their way to be helpful and keep you comfortable and calm.
Wish I could give it 0 stars majority of the nurses could care less about you
To busy on there phones or talking to one another …
Good hospital to go to when its needed but alot of the nurses are nasty. The outpatient pharmacy employees are extremely unprofessional and have little knowledge of insurance practices and what they can and cannot say. The employees also have a tendency of closing early and even locking the door before there set closing time.
A Great Pediatric floor! Great nurses, doctors, PCA’s and respiratory group. We as parents were very impressed by the kindness shown to us and our child.
Terrible hospital!!! They have the worst staff, no bedside manor, Dr’s have sadistic tendencies, pain management is a joke, cheap on supplies, nothing brand name (not even the drinks), straight trash!! They once were a good hospital…now.. one of the worst! Go anywhere else!!
If I could give zero I would. Dr John Delgado is The least professional doctor I’ve ever encountered. My mother entered the ER at Tampa General with weakness. She was diagnosed with internal bleeding… she had to be taken off blood thinners …
It’s a great hospital for planned procedures that top notch doctors work out of, but as far as the ER goes, I have not seen a more apathetic, incompetent staff.
Very good hospital, but the Nurses are so understaffed, you may see your nurse twice in her 12hr shift…Love all the nurses I had, just wish they put less than 7-8 patients on each Nurse!!!!
They are gross. I not only had a filthy shower with someone else’s dirty soaps ans washcloths in it but they were making fun of this elderly lady with dementia that only spoke Spanish…really cruel.
Nothing like being brought into a room that has an opened used needle from the last patient treated, trash on the floor and a squished cockroach. Way to make Tampa Bay shine! Oh and the nurse that didn’t know visiting hours and or where to …
If you have a baby and your baby goes into NICU they will keep your baby hostage for no reason my baby was born at 36 weeks 4 days and I have been getting numerous excuses of why my baby can’t leave.
Well I know Friday night busy : stayed in ER hallway on Stretcher 11 hours moved me to a smaller room. Then moved me to basement. No TV. Or A/C. Poorest quality
This people have been treating my sister for the last couple of years and I am extremely disappointed because of the lack of compassion and extremely carelessness displayed throughout this treatment. Lack of communication and staff being unable to agree on almost anything javelin made this process nothing short of torture
Worst Hospital Ever! They prioritize patients in the totally irrelevant manner, everyone is moving slow, nurses don’t know the order of the movement of the patients, some stuff doesn’t speak ANY English, and it is VERY VERY DIRTY. Waiting line was 5h long and none seemed to care
This is the worse hospital I’ve ever been to. The teaching hospital needs to stop letting the students take care of actual patients. Using them as test dummies and not knowing what they are doing. I will never go to the ER again. They need to clean the dirty hospital.
Such great people from the ER to the observation I was personally in the J and F section on the first floor to the cardio doctors and lab folks that come and take your blood just everyone so nice and made me feel just wonderful I truly thank them all !
They’re er is the worse they won’t do anything for you quick to get basic testing and send you off even if you can barely breathe or eat you don’t even get to see a real doctor don’t waist your time here stay away you’ll be stuck with a fat bill for no reason with un resolve results
Great hospital. Everyone is very nice. My wife was there for 7 days and had surgery Last week.TGH saved my wife’s life. Thank you for taking care of my wife. My son was born there three years ago. And we had a great experience. Thank you for what you do.
Worst experience I ever had waited 9 hours to be seen just to leave on my own. Doctor was racist and tried everything to wait the time out not to see me. I was the wrong skin color for TGH.

Born and raised in Tampa. I’m 45 years old now. TGH has been a staple in my life. Everyone knew there would be a time TGH can’t accommodate the growing population and, unfortunately, that time has come. The hospital and surrounding offices …
I wasn’t allowed to get out of the bed and walk and the woman in the bed next to mine was moaning and crying in pain and the nurses ignored her. My daughter went to see her and she was bruised and swollen all over her body and the nurses …
Had to give birth 2x here. The anesthesiologist stuck me about 30xs before calling for someone else who did it on the first try. Caused numbness in my leg that never goes away. He was super rude. The nurses act like the child is theirs and …

Great and quick service. Marie Wilkinson is a caring and compassionate provider who listened to all my concerns and performed a thorough examination. Thank you so much !
Greedy sneaky hospital. They cater to poor people with no insurance or money. So when they get a patient with insurance and a little money they stick it to them. …
Compared to all children’s st Joe’s it doesn’t compare. It has been a nightmare. I was here from 1 to 7pm in the room they never took the baby’s vitals. The RTN said no order was giving for breathing treatments, this morning they …
My mother went in for open heart surgery Wednesday. The doctor and his team were great and communicated very well. The problem is the longer you are in the hospital the more the care quickly declines. Day two in ICU the care was good but …
I will never go back to this hospital for help I arrived at the hospital at 3:30 pm and was forced to wear a mask until 10:30 pm when i decided that enough was enough and left! I was given no answers the nurses took my blood and I was able …
This hospital is dirty, patient care is inadequate. Food is always cold. Nurses although under staffed showed very little compassion for patients who are dependent on them for everything they need. Not to mention is full of staph.
This hospital stands alone as the very best! I want to thank all the nurses on 7th floor, and PCT. You were wonderful. Dan had the best experience there yet!!
Great Nurses and doctors. Only reason I won’t drop 5 stars down. There is sometimes a tech. And sometimes that tech is great and sometimes cannot find them to answer your call light. Nurses will be drowning, attempting to answer lights and …
The ER is so busy that there are not enough beds, not enough rooms, not enough staff & not enough doctors to deal with the amount of people that come through the ER. Upon arrival, you check-in at which time they collect money. Then you wait …
I had the worst birth experience at this hospital. Even the patient reps do not care about patient mistreatment. The staff does not think you know what’s going on with your own body and doesn’t listen to you. Completely rude. We had one …
I decided to pay Tampa General Hospital Emergency Room a visit with severe abdominal pain. Right away, I was serviced by Triage. The staff drew blood and did a urine test to have it immediately available for the doctor and nurse. The entire …
Probably the dumbest hospital design that I’ve seen yet and the amount of entrances that make no sense anyone would get frustrated. And now with covid your not even allowed to wait in waiting rooms that are designed for waiting or even …
July 20, 2022 What a terrible experience going to Tampa General Hospital Emergency Room. The Triage nurse Amber was rude and dismissive. I came in because of sharp pain in my gut, concerning because I just had surgery at TGH on May 23. I …
If I could give this hospital ZERO stars, I WOULD. The nurses were extremely rude and not helpful whatsoever, the entire facility was disgusting as if no one cleans it on a daily basis, and the doctors just rush you out of the room with no …
My surgeon was great and everything prior to surgery was a great experience! I was out of surgery and put into recovery at 10am. Once in recovery I was left to pretty much fend for myself. I first asked to get to go to the bathroom. They …

I went here because all the urgent cares in Tampa close at 9pm and all I needed was stitches and I sat in a waiting room for 6 hours waiting for a bed with no updates or anything. I know I was a low priority but it’s frustrating with …

They got me in fast took blood etc got me in a bed great nurse s and doctor (5)star hospital. My wife’s nurses name was Dimtri he was AWESOME
Quite literally the worst hospital I have ever dealt with. Having a child here is an absolute nightmare. They can’t figure out how to schedule appointments. And when they do they cancel them. Never have a child here. Go literally anywhere else.
Disgusting dirty men’s room was filthy and dirty from top to bottom. The smell of urine was disgusting fowl!
Management needs to be replaced immediately and staffing schooled on how to …
Worst experience i have ever had by far. My mother was transported by ambulance to Tampa general around 11am it is now 726pm and we are still in the hallway!!! Attending physicians said we would certainly be admitted, at this rate im not sure if it will be this week but ok…Absolutely unacceptable!!

You people didn’t take my husband seriously. You considered his brand new BP cuff as a toy. You downplayed his concerns AND MINE!!

If I could give it less than that I would.. my mom was brought in by ambulance from her Dr. Appointment, they got her to the ER and left her in the hallway for 24hrs.. STILL on the stretcher. I was finally able to go back and see her, and …
Horrible!!!! Can’t say much! But, I had a baby at TGH. Do not leave your baby in the room with any medical staff even to go to the restroom in your own room. They literally almost killed my child, lied about it, & tryed to cover it up. If I …
Honestly put a 5 star for the reason I can’t put anymore this is an amazing hospital my dad just got operated on in 3F operating room area and they have made it an absolute pleasure to be here besides being nervous they calmed him down and …
Take a look at the positive reviews. They are not from people of color. Get some serious diversity training as Americans of slave descent do not share in the 5 star experience at Tampa General the same way, due to biases. I find it utterly …
I went here a few months ago with a friend who had a locked jaw and we were instantly discriminated against. I got yelled at by a Karen for trying to be in the room while my friend (who felt unsafe) was speaking with the doctors. This ER …
I worked for Tampa General Hospital in Organizational Development, a part of Human Resources, for ten years. While I was initially proud and happy to be part of the organization, it’s no longer an organization I would recommend for …
My husband and I considered flying back up north to have our second baby because of the terrible reviews and comments about Florida’s healthcare system. If it wasn’t for the amount of out of pocket expense, I told my husband I wanted to do …

My stay at Tampa General started on 11-6-22 after being transported from another hospital. I was put on the 6th floor wing A. Well let me just say the PCT’s and quite a few nurses were horrible to me. I was talked about at the doorway of my …
Probably worst hospital in Tampa ever! They did a c-section on my wife and she already had one prior to this one and they did the worst job possible. First one was at John Hopkins and they did and amazing job, but TGH did the worst job …
I was having a miscarriage at 5 months and the ER held me in the waiting room for 3 hours. They took over 30 people before me as I bled all over the chair. The only kind person was the nurse that did not leave until I was brought in. The …
My dad was taken there on Wednesday. I have to say that is the worst hospital experience ever! First of all, when you call for assistance (sheets needing to be changed) no one comes. So, my dad was left sitting in a soiled bed for hours …

My experience was amazing at this hospital ❤️ i gave birth on 13th nov , all the nurses were very helpful before and after the delivary . Jada and midwife alex were very nice and patient . Findlay was an angle ! She made everything easy for …
The security in the ER section is horrible. You can’t even use the bathroom if you are waiting for your loved one. They are rude and speak with no respect at all. The security act like the hospital is a prison. No one is allowed to enter, and you can’t even come near the door without them yelling at you.
I had surgery 12/13/22. I have nothing but positive things to say about my experience at Tampa general. I have Achalasia, a rare chronic disease and required surgery. Dr Ducoin and his staff are amazing. Alicia, the OR nurse was so sweet …

I am in love with this hospital. Great staff, no awesome staff, very clean, the whole valet crew were great, all the doctors and nurses are off the chain, I absolutely loved the whole entire visit. Thank you all frm Atlanta, Ga. If you’re in doubt, choose TGH !!!! Oh and they have a great view of the water too, beautiful view.
In the ER waiting room for 10 hrs so far. The ER has a small waiting room. They “couldnt find me” for a test for 5 hours and “looked for me several times”. They told me to sit wherever, I had my cell phone on me (and they have my contact …
TGH is the best trauma hospital in Tampa. They are providing top notch care for my dad right now. Only 1 visitor allowed during visiting hours due to COVID-19. Must wear a mask while visiting. Fairly efficient check in/check out procedures.
Worst hospital stay ever. The ER was dirty and dingy. You are not put in a room like other hospitals you just keep getting sent out to a chair in the waiting room again and again. Then I was told they were admitting me and I was taken to …
I’m in complete amazement that this hospital has not been shut down. I’m afraid for my nieces life and feel so powerless. She was admitted on New Years Day after having the MT’s rush her to TG due to what we’ve been told was a stomach …

I have only high compliments and praise for Tampa General and their entire staff. I came to the emergency at 8:15pm on Monday evening. The process of checking in was simple and I was quickly checked in courteously. The staff and doctors …
I recently had a 5 night hospital stay following surgery. Every single human interaction I had was filled with care and compassion!! This clearly reflects the hospitals culture of one being committed to exceptional patient experiences! Thank you Tampa General!!
Do NOT go to this hospital if you have an emergency. You cannot get in or out of the emergency room and they do not allow the patient to have anyone with you. There is no waiting room to sit to wait and wait is all you will do. People …

Dr’s took care of me as soon as they were aware of my condition upon arrival. (Herniated Disk/w Sciatica) That helped me relax through processing. …
You would think being rated #1 in fl and #50 in the nation that they would be providing the best care, but it’s far from the truth. If you want to be given the run around about your medical care and sit in a waiting room for 5 hours and be …
I advise anyone to shear clear of this facility. The staff was rude and belittled my medical concerns. When I expressed to the nursing staff that I wanted a female doctor to examine me, I was not taken seriously and was brushed off. My …
