I’m sure this place is great for middle class people with disposable income. Their billing practices are rigid and hurt people. Your options are to accept the payment plan they offer or be put into collections. If you do accept the payment …

Good doctors but they really need to do better on when they bill and what they charge. My recommendation is to to quest diagnostic for your labs DON’T GO TO THEIR LAB! They charge WAY more “just because they can” boy was this a learning experience for me.

Food service could be significantly improved. The quality of product is …
SMH took excellent care of my grandmother after she broke her hip. The nurses were attentive, patient, and kind.

Patient safety and well-being is not a concern of this hospital what so ever. Not only was the communication between my doctors and I AWFUL; they didn’t even care about how I was supposed to get home safe. This is ridiculous. These people should be thrown in prison.
After registering at the Radiology reception desk, I was seated for a short time in a pleasant waiting area with six or seven others. Questions were asked and the procedure was clearly explained before going into the imaging room, a short …

Well, if I was an identity thief this would be the place to go, registration happens right in the waiting lobby of this hospital where your personal information is broadcasted. There’s a lot of elderly here that’s hard of hearing too, so it’s extra clear and loud # HIPPA
Very displeased with this NOT FOR PROFIT hospital system. Was turned away for a medically necessary procedure because I could not pay for the entire cost of the procedure up front. I have insurance, which is in network. I called my …

Over 2 1-2 hours waiting to be seen by a doctor after being sent over from urgent care. This is absolutely the worsted health care experience I have ever had. Maybe the CEO and other executives should experience what they expect their patients to go through.

currently.
My husband recently had surgery and the staff were wonderful. Starting with the staff at North Port and continuing until his discharge. Special shout out to Sam who was the nurse we interacted mostly with.

I learned a lesson with my wife’s critical visit to Sarasota Memorial. If you need immediate attention, call 911. Do not drive someone with life threatening problems to your emergency room. …

I was born here about 20 years ago. I can say that the process was a 4/10 at best. Despite the fact that I regret being born I guess the doctors were pretty kind to me. I had no choice but to be yanked away from my happy place.
I received great care in the Endoscopy Unit on Wednesday, 7 April 2021. The staff introduced themselves, explained every step of preparation, and kept me comfortable with nice warm blankets in the pre-procedure area and endoscopy room. …

After a visit to my doctor who suggested that I have blood work done. I went just across the hall and had the work done. The woman who took my information was very nice and professional. I don’t think I had to wait for more than 5 minutes …

Good doctors but they really need to do better on when they bill and what they charge. My recommendation is to to quest diagnostic for your labs DON’T GO TO THEIR LAB! They charge WAY more “just because they can” boy was this a learning experience for me.
Drove an hour for pre surgery testing and all they did was a blood pressure check and take some blood, and that took 1-1/2 hours. 2 days later, surgery day, you check in before getting into the building, 10 feet in the door, check in …

I wouldn’t expect any great health care, hospitality, or open mindedness of what the patients need or want. Nurses will leave open picc lines and IV without alcohol caps and not alcohol wipe before inducing medication. Not all but most are …

Food service could be significantly improved. The quality of product is …
SMH took excellent care of my grandmother after she broke her hip. The nurses were attentive, patient, and kind.

The ER needs to be more patient friendly. They need to be more human. I was in the ER 6 months ago in pain and they didn’t care. The nurse kept telling me that a doctor needed to see me before they could give me something for the pain. Four …
Had a Radical Laproscopic/Robitic Prostatectomy on July 5th. The care, physicians, nurses, techs, etc was nothing short of extraordinary. Always checking on me. Making sure I wasn’t in pain or if I needed anything. The nurses and techs …
Turned away for having Covid. But the girl at the desk made sure to say that she wasn’t turning us away, but they can’t treat Covid. So if you can’t treat Covid and you tell someone that, doesn’t that mean your turning them away? The stupidity is unreal…

Patient safety and well-being is not a concern of this hospital what so ever. Not only was the communication between my doctors and I AWFUL; they didn’t even care about how I was supposed to get home safe. This is ridiculous. These people should be thrown in prison.

Well, if I was an identity thief this would be the place to go, registration happens right in the waiting lobby of this hospital where your personal information is broadcasted. There’s a lot of elderly here that’s hard of hearing too, so it’s extra clear and loud # HIPPA
Very displeased with this NOT FOR PROFIT hospital system. Was turned away for a medically necessary procedure because I could not pay for the entire cost of the procedure up front. I have insurance, which is in network. I called my …

Over 2 1-2 hours waiting to be seen by a doctor after being sent over from urgent care. This is absolutely the worsted health care experience I have ever had. Maybe the CEO and other executives should experience what they expect their patients to go through.

If I could give it 0 stars I would. This hospital was where my mom went originally. Her nurse was fantastic however I don’t know what quack doctor she had, but they released her with almost nothing to take home no medications are anything. …
On 12-15-22 my husband was having a catherization done at Englewood Hospital. While having this procedure they found several blockages. I received a call telling me my husband was not going to be able to go home, that he needed to be sent …
Delivered my son here. Nurses were awesome but you guys need to fire Dr Abu. How is that man allowed to care for laboring patients? He lied about my condition, tried to force medication without my consent and then tried to make me feel like …
I’ve been seating in the ER for over 3 hours with horrible chest pains, extreme elevated blood pressure over 200, hurts when I take a deep breath. As being a previous nurse in a trauma ER we immediately take care of anyone that walks in …
Had an absolute nightmare of an experience. From five hours waiting in the ER to finally going back to seeing a doctor for a migraine with nausea I’ve had for four days staff was friendly however more focused on discussing vacation spots …
Very disgusted with Sarasota Memorial Hospital.
I went to the ER 2 weeks ago concerned I might have a blood clot in my leg. I was sent home from the SMH ER with a diagnosis of Peripheral Artery Disease along …
If you are among the fortunate ones, that can afford private insurance in this economic crisis, then you’ll probably get the care you need. If your one of the unfortunate ones, such as myself, that has to be on medicaid for the time …
Horrible hospital service and staff. I just had a family member have surgery and return and trying to speak to staff is impossible and to get updates was non existent. They kicked her out of the hospital with no notice and the case worker …
Friday night coming to ER was one of the worst experiences of my life! Patients lining the floor everywhere and the staff was so overwhelmed it was a nightmare watching them. I sat in a wheelchair for 9 hours waiting to find out if I was …
Waited a hour and a half 90 min. To get an order resent four times to get a chest x- ray. How would I have gotten an appointment for a chest x-ray without an order from my doctor? I had the appointment but no order to go with it. So I sat …
My son was taken by ambulance to their ER. They said they couldn’t treat him and were sending him to another hospital by ambulance. I asked them if any pre-authorizations were needed with my son’s insurance as I couldn’t afford a bill. They …
The nurses I talked with didn’t know anything. My mom had a stroke and when I asked about her limitations, the response was … I have no idea. Another nurse told me she needed a sitter thru the night, but didnt know why. We were told by …
Came in to the ER with lower back and abdominal pain as well as lightheadedness and dizziness, the ER doctor expressed concern at abnormalities in my CAT scan. He recommended that I be admitted to see specialists/ run more tests in the …
I was at the emergency room yesterday and it was a thoroughly rewarding experience, which is a strange thing to say about a hospital stay, but I was so impressed that I was moved to write this. I was immediately processed, the technicians and nurses were very professional and pleasant and the doctor, Andrew Downs was great.
Radiology- Rude unprofessional
Twice I have attempted to get my chest X-ray at this facility. First try, I stood at the front desk as several staff members walked by. All avoided making any …
My wife recently had open heart surgery at SMH. She couldn’t have had a better experience. The staff in the CVICU and 7CY exceeded our expectation. The care and compassion that they exhibited was truly the best anyone could hope for. In …
Nurses are awesome but the doctors don’t care about patients! My dad is 96 and needs a procedure that he can’t eat or drink first. Has not eaten for 29 hours. Still no word on when. Nurses can only do so much but the way my dad is treated is inexcusable!!!! Just another number, insufficient to them.
I understand today it’s difficult to fine people who want to work but when you are a diabetic in the hospital with kidney failure waiting 2 1/2 hours for a meal is shameful. You must develop another system in your dietary department to …
My son (4yo) fell and split his lip down onto the skin on his face, took him to the ER here at the paramedics suggestion for their pediatrics unit. They stitched him up and did a fantastic job. Very nasty wound and it’s looks great now that …
Chatter from staff about being overworked and understaffed is really great for a hospital. Sad that things have reached a point where the only thing left to do for the staff is to complain about it because administrators are NOT listening. …
That cafeteria have 0 clue what they are doing. I’ve been here almost 2 weeks and everytime my food comes wrong. This morning took the cake tho. Half my order was not there but someone else’s order was. The receipt was completely wrong. Had …
Went to the ER for my newborn and everyone was amazing and nice. Really helped me and kept me calm while also being informative. Lisely was amazing and helped straighten out a couple issues herself. That girl really cares and me, baby and father really appreciate her help as well as the doctors we saw!
The Dr’s and nurses were great even the food was good. But case worker Beth, left my VERY ill husband sitting at the door waiting for a cab for 6 hours! I kept calling in a panic thinking something terrible must have happened to him and no …
Showed up at 2:30 as requested for a 4:30 appointment, but they ran so late that the procedure didn’t happen until 7:30 pm. Nurses are nice, and diligent, but the anesthesiologist who put the breathing tube in my mouth while I was out …
Beautiful new hospital, however the triage nurse, didn’t get her name, had some nerve on telling us how to raise our 3 month old child. We were there for care and treatment and was met by that judge-mental stick in the mud. Please ensure …
This is the most amazing hospital I have ever seen. My sister has received the most incredible care by the nurses in this hospital. Top notch technology, care, and love. Even the valet parking people are super professional and kind. I am impressed and you deserve 10 stars.
My review isn’t on the ER. I did have to go to the Er once durning pregnancy.. and it’s an Er in total I was there for 4-5 hours my review is on the maternity ward. I had my daughter there 8 months ago. It was by far the best experience I …
I had the best of care at Sarasota Memorial Hospital. The staff in the orthopedics unit are all talented professionals and did their best to find out what was wrong with me. After 15 days in the hospital things became very blurry and some …
My wife recently had a major surgery and the staff and doctors were amazing! They showed compassion and were very attentive. The only reason this is not 5 stars is that the room we stayed in was two to a room and the layout made it …
