  4. WORST HOSPITAL EVER!!! Doesn’t EVEN DESERVE ONE STAR. **THEY NEED TO CLOSE THIS PLACE DOWN AND FIND SOME REAL MEDICAL STAFF TO TAKE OVER**
    I went twice, Sunday in WORST PAIN OF MY LIFE and for a follow up (where I was …

  5. I had service at LKMC for many years and EVERY time I had the best care possible. From the ER to in-patient…the staff and physicians are very caring and attend to every need. Thank you LKMC for everything you have done for me and my family.

  6. Outstanding care. I was throughly impressed with facility and staff. Every member of staff went out of their way to make me feel comfortable and as pain free as possible.

  7. Today (Feb 2nd, 2015) I received a call from a debt collector, saying that I owe $411.75 for an unpaid bill back on June 4th, 1999 from this hospital… 16 years ago! …

  8. The worst billing department EVER! the new evening female doctor is a fresh breath of air – but the rest of the hospital is a complete failure. received a bill from them, had to go in during the doctor/insurance contract issue ealier this year. now i get a bill for 9 grand. for a trip into or, and and saline iv. place sucks.

  9. This is the worse post op hospital I’ve ever seen . These nurses and techs need training.
    I worked 5 years on a post op floor and know how it works , these folks here …

  10. Even though they are friendly and I got in fast. I am very sure the miss diagnosed me. They told me that I have an Upper Respiratory Infection. I can breath just fine. My symptoms that braught me there are a temperature of 103 to 104 four …

  11. Drive elsewhere, even communist Cuban hospitals are better.
    They treat you terribly. They insult your intelligence and last time I checked, weren’t WE the customers? They are a monopoly and even with out a substitute, …

  12. they are terrible.. my regular Dr. told me not to ever go their again.. next time go to urgent care on Roosevelt..went in for dizziness was told there was nothing wrong.. sent home to bed rest.. after my Dr. came back from vac. went in to …

  13. Where should I start? This hospital does not even deserving a rating! I received a surgery, got a call from the hospital stating if i was in pain i should go to the hospital to receive pain medication. So i went at night, had the worst …

  14. Wednesday, evening, February, 5th I was brought in to ER. I just have to say thank you! For the professionalism and care by all who took care of me that evening! Dr. Betancourt. Nurse kathy and so many others that I cannot remember their names. I cannot thank you enough!!

  15. Fast, very professional as well as knowledgeable, I cant say enough about the great treatment I received, Because of the aforementioned i would recomend the ER 100 percent!

  16. The hospital has improved dramatically since the new owners have taken charge .I was very impressed with the way the staff and doctors care for the patients now and not just put them on a gurny in the hallway. Thankyou very much from the …

  17. Listen to me and listen to me carefully. I was on a trip from Boston and I was transported here. I was complaining of heart symptoms and chest pain. The rudest paramedics get there and assume I’ve had to much to drink? HOW I’m on the HOTEL …

  18. Worst service ever. Only 6 people in waiting room and we have been here over 4 hours and haven’t been seen yet. Nephew was in motorcycle accident he could have internal injuries and they would never know. Maybe after someone drops dead in …

  20. It’s never fun not feeling well and having a hospital stay. The entire staff made it a pleasant experience. Everyone was genuinely concerned and their number one goal is to make you as comfotable as you can possibly be.

  21. The er is terrible. I went almost fainting, hyperventilating, and they wouldnt listen to me! They put others ahead of me when I was there first. The nurse that talked to me said it was just anxiety, if thats so why am I still short of …

  22. My first time to this facility and the staff treated me with care and understanding explained everything and provided a great assessment. Thanks for showing kindness.

  23. Excellent experience — very efficient- very nice staff– took very good care of me– I was all done with MRI and on my way home in record time — Thanks again!!

  24. Ignore the obviously fake “positive” reviews. Everything everyone has mentioned about this place being a “dive” is true. Terribly equipped facilities that are in dire need of renovations. CEO recently resigned under increasing pressure …

  25. Best place to work. Medical Records, Billing Team , Physical Therapy Department and Cardiology Department, as our neighbour Convalescent Therapy Center too. As a client and as a coworker of LKMC and KWCC, Tropical Wellness – Dr Floyd. …

  26. Took my mother here after suffering a suspected stroke back in February ’14. From the moment the ambulance arrived to her discharge day, this place reminded me of a circus. If this is where health care is heading in this country, we are …

  27. A special thanks to the entire medical stafbf, Dr. Nodal, Scott, Corneil, Joan in the night shift. Chris, Analysse, Thank You for your professionalism and wisdom who’s goal became to get me back home safely to West Palm Beach, as well as …

  28. Worse Hospital ever!!! Its been over 10 days since an MRI was completed and still no Radiology report. I have to suffer through pain because of some so called “TECHNICAL” glitch. My advice Run run as fast as you can to the next closet hospital if your in need of immediate medical attention.

  29. As a Philadelphia native, I was skeptical of going to a “small” facility to have a medical procedure. I had 3 excellent experiences at LKMC. From check-in to billing to the radiology department to the out-patient surgical team, I found the entire staff to be helpful and friendly. Two thumbs up.

  30. 18 prior hospitalizations elsewhere for heart and stroke including 3 stent procedures and one bypass, as well as multiple strokes and TIAs requiring intensive in and out patient rehab and PT, yet this ER did zero basic testing for stroke …

  31. A total nuthouse. Disorganized, disheveled, a zoo from top to bottom. Many of the staff seems aloof and act as if they’d rather be anyplace else but here. Nevermind the fact that this place is located out in the boondocks, and about a …

  32. My daughter was very sick so I took here here. The staff was friendly, quick and helpful. They had her feeling better in 1 hr and 40 min! We were in and out! I’ve never had such a quick visit. I loved how they treated my daughter! Thanks everyone you were awesome!

  33. Today, 11/03/16, I had an outpatient Kyphoplasty at Lower Keys Medical Center. I would give 100 * if able! I am a nurse for 37 years and ALL of the staff were outstanding. I was give care the way I would care for my own patients. Thank you all and have a blessed day, every day. VC

  34. If I could give 0 stars, I would!! My mother has been employed here for 12 years and that is the ONLY reason I will tolerate this poor excuse for a hospital. The nurses were awful. I was not attended to like a patient should. They stuck an …

  35. Emergency surgery required and was quite impressed with the level and quality of care, all clinical personnel and hospital environment. Nobody wants to experience emergencies but it’s nice to know we have high quality care in the Lower Keys. Thank you!

  36. Beautiful and caring RN’s took really good care of me before and after my surgery. Always checked up on me and asked of I needed anything. Food was very good as well.

  37. I live here and i would NEVER come here unless I was absolutely dying. I have driven the 2 1/2 hours to Baptist Hospital in Homestead and received treatment that was exponentially better. The last experience I had with LKMC was when I was …

  38. Staff is wonderful, talented, skilled, and Keys friendly. The care I received was high quality and appropriate. Facility was clean, and seemed to operate smoothly. Structurally and financially, this is not a first class hospital. The care I received was first class, first rate.

  39. I’ve read the reviews and was a bit concerned when taking my husband to the LKMC. My 82 year old husband fell down a couple of stairs dropping like a rock. He fell on his left side hitting his head, arm and ribs on a hard tile floor. Dazed …

  40. The worst care & the best care – all at the same place. I’ve been here twice and received excellent care during my first visit. Today (2nd visit), I was treated like some sort of undesireable derelict and my symptoms were dismissed, even …

  41. This place is the worst. Filthy rooms, poor care, double billing and refusal to address billing mistakes they make. They keep ordering duplicate tests, over and over again. The rooms are horribly hot unless you open the door and want to …

  42. I live in Boston and have a disability which makes flying (plane travel) nearly impossible. On 9/28 my Dad was rushed to LKMC with an undiagnosed illness which presented itself as a stroke/ heart attack. Stuck here, unable to get to my Dad, …

  43. My dad was admitted screaming in pain only to be sent home hours later being told he had gastritis. 4 hours later I rushed him
    To a different hospital to have emergency gall bladder removal surgery. Lower …

  44. I went in for a bone scan today, and the head technician is so very nice, I been there before and she has always been nice she make you feel great.
    . Because of her I would tell anyone how good your take care of people thank you John Knapp,. Ps her assistance is all so very nice.

  45. DO NOT GO THERE. If you have a choice – better to go to any other doctor in KW. They don’t have professionals there, with any major injury they will send you to Miami hospital, so you will have to pay for ER 2 times. …

  46. Had first time experience with passing a kidney stone. Handled in the ER, seen quickly, treated appropriately, fully briefed by friendly and attentive ER staff on how to handle in the future, discharged. Can’t think of what else they could have done better.

  47. We entered the ER around 2 AM Thursday morning. We were greeted just as soon as we entered by a nurse. She was attentive to our needs (my wife contracted food poisining) in getting us through the check in process and into a room to be seen …

  48. Being from out of town, I was very blessed to have this hospital and staff take care of me when I became very sick. I was handled with the best care for 48 hours and I’m truly grateful for everyone there.

  49. I went as professional to drop off blood tubes. No one was in the lab. People had been waiting for 30 minutes with no one there to assist pts. I waited another 30 minutes…3 people came in and said they called for staff to come…no one …

  50. Horrible experience! I took my daughter there when we were on vacation because she was throwing up due to high fever. The hospital receptionist told me that she has to be admitted to emergency room as it was Sunday and there was no other …

  51. Several visits to the ER for anxiety attacks have smartened me up! BEWARE! They will send you an outrageous bill that you will have to fight. I went in for the flu and came out with a $6000 bill. When I spoke with the Billing Advocate, …

  52. It’s an older facility but the care and kindness from the staff was wonderful! I would come here again if I had to. They took great care of my mother after we had to disembark the cruise ship. She said she hadn’t felt this good in a long time.

  53. Very very very displeased with the ER. Very unprofessional. One person out of the 5 we talked to were actually friendly. Even the doctor was rude as can be. Very stuck up and cocky. Made us feel like idiots when we asked question about what …

  54. Horrible… I thought I was having a heart attack and the doctor on call was such a disappointment I just wanted to get up and leave! His bedside manner was the worst I’ve ever experienced… he didn’t like the answers I was giving to …

  55. Everything was going swimmingly until a new nurse came in for her shift. Listen lady…game recognizes game. Don’t you treat anybody to make them feel like they are lying or deceiving you. I get it. There’s some junkies out there who …

  56. I don’t know where to start! I am so impressed with this amazing group of people. So professional, compassionate and absolutely wonderful! I went in for my “first Colonoscopy”!!!! From the moment I walked into the hospital everyone was …

  57. I fractured my femur and the orthopedic surgeon did a great job screwing it back together. The entire staff was amazing! Many thanks to Doctors Perry and Sterkel, Patrick, Nurses Samantha, Julie, Technician Marie and all the others whose names I can’t recall. You all were wonderful to me when I was broken and in pain. Thank you!

  58. Lower Keys Medical Center is an Excellent Hospital. Dr. Stanley Santiago, the Pre OP, Surgical, and Recovery Nurses were professional, attentive and compassionate. My surgery was flawless:The post op room was clean and organized.The …

  59. I have had a Brown Recluse Spider bite for over a month and have been back and forth to the hospital. Tonight I received the most disrespect possible. My nurse saw me within 2 seconds with attitude and said she was discharging me after I …

  60. Dr Herrera and his staff today were very friendly and proficient. I needed ex rays to my knee and they admitted me into fast track. I was seen, treated, and discharged within an hour. I was very pleased with my visit to the er.

  61. I came in having a seizure due to my epilepsy and was unable to communicate. They got me set up in a bed then left me alone still seizing for around 45 minutes. They never even tried giving me a benzodiazepine and never flushed my IV. Once …

  62. I received exceptional patient care for the Lower Keys Medical Center. They were very professional, kept me informed of all the tests, xrays, scans that were being performed and what the options were. I highly praise them for the quick …

  63. Just awefull experience all together. Healing is impossible there. Money making business based on the old conditioned mindset. Worse experience of my life like ever!!! Aaand I am getting charged for it!!! …

  64. I had not been to recieve medical treatment since 1999,so as you can imagine I was really nervous about going to the ER after an eye injury. A PA by the name of Diane Petrov treated me . She seemed very competent in her treatment of my …

  65. Fast and Courteous – I had a mishap on a jetski tour. I came to this medical center, since it was the closest full service center. The receptionist was a little standoffish, but the doctor and nurses were excellent. I was in and …

  66. This hospital never ceases to disappoint me. My wife’s going into labor, her midwife sends us to the hospital she’s a 3. Dr tells us to go in through the ER entrance. They know we are coming for over an hour but they make us wait in the ER …

  67. Went to LKMC early Saturday morning, July 2nd, 2016 after stepping out of my vehicle and destroying my ankle. From the moment I was wheelchaired in to the moment I was wheelchaired out the only thing that kept me sane was the cheerful …

  68. Everyone at the Lower Keys Medical Center was such a pleasure to deal with. That just doesn’t happen that often these days. Thank you all for your kindness and caring towards my fear of the unknown, the big “C”

  69. I have been to the ER a few times lately and I can say everyone there is professional caring and helpful. I have never had a bad experience. Had to go to the records department for some test results Jeni in the office was extremely helpful …

  70. Im on the fence for this place. I live in Key west, and my daughter was born here. The treatment they showed my daughter was great while we were here, but other visits were pretty bad. I admitted myself for feeling extremely ill, and they …

  71. Everyone I came in contact with, from making the appointment for an outpatient MRI, to the front desk and finally everyone in the Radiology department were extremely friendly and helpful. I highly recommend this hospital.

  72. When I tell you that this hospital exercised gross negligence of patients suffering from severe symptoms, I’m not kidding. When we arrived we were meeting the rest of our party who had already been here for quite a bit. Fortunately we had …

  73. Nurses were nice. Never saw any Doctor, but they billed me for seeing a Doctor. Definitely not happy about that. They let me leave with a broke left clavicle without seeing a Doctor or even x-rays because it was July 4, and didn’t want to bother the on-call Doctor. I would avoid going there at all costs if you can.

  74. Saw the reviews and was a little concerned but didn’t have many choices on where to go. Honestly my experience was pretty good. The facility is a little older but was clean and the staff were very friendly and concerned about my health. Was …

  75. I’ve had many bad experiences with this place. Example: The nurse told me they don’t COVID test, while I’m reading the COVID testing station sign. The nurses actually ran interference when they thought a guy was visiting my girlfriend, but …

  76. The nurses and docs have taken excellent care of me three times in the past month, including a bout of viral meningitis that Dr Guerdan and Dr Herrera correctly diagnosed as needing a spinal tap, which went relatively smoothly. I had to …

  77. For anyone considering a job here DON’T DO IT! Extremely toxic environment. Administration allows, and accommodates, workplace bullies as well as turns a blind eye to hostile work environment just to have warm bodies in certain roles, …

  78. Went here on Dec. 26 2018 after a dog bite. I was treated professionally by everyone I had contact with – the receptionist, technician/nursing student, xray technologist, and doctor. My finger was bit through and was cleaned up well by …

  79. My wife had a broke leg and from the first person to the last we could not have asked for better and more reassuring treatment. The nurses Paula and Janna were great. The emergency room PA was very professional and knew what she was doing. Hate to have had to go but very well taken care of.

  80. They were great with my surgery Dr. Suarez is a great surgeon and the other ones that took care of me. The first 2 days they took care of me but after that I pretty much was on my own. I was all alone down there and a little nervous by …

  85. My 9 month old had a 104.0 fever so we took her to ER at 6:30am. Walked in to no one being at the check in desk. Imagine if someone was in the middle of a heart attack or bleeding out. We waited about 5 minutes for someone to come out. She …

  86. Went into the L&D department at 2am as directed by the on call doctor. The charge nurse proceeds to check my cervix and tells me I’m still closed. She then states “you have a yeast infection” mind you I haven’t had any symptoms of one, I’ve …

  88. Quick blood work service. I hadn’t been here since I was diagnosed with Acute Myloid Leukemia on January 7, 2020. Spent five nights here before driving back to WV for further treatment.

  89. Dr. David Perry is the best! I broke my leg in a couple places and he has done a fine job putting it back together. The staff at Lower Keys medical, are fantastic! From the ladys at the window , the janitors, the Kitchen staff. Honestly …

    This was my first ever experience with Lower Keys Medical Center. Before this surgery, I had never even visited a patient there. …

  95. The Nurses, and Doctors were very professional, and explained my procedure. I never experienced any discomfort. The anesthesiologist was exceptional, he allayed any fears, or concerns. Overall my experience was quite pleasant.

  96. My name is Don H. and I came down to the keys for a nice vacation. Two weeks prior I suffered a very minor heart attack in my hometown of Tampa.
    I was having the same symptoms so I thought I better get over to a medical …

  97. Was visiting from out of town and had to have an emergency appendectomy. The doctors and staff were all very kind and helpful and made an unfortunate set of circumstances not so bad. 5 stars to everyone !

  98. Lower Keys Medical is just a waiting room for your trip to a real Hospital in Miami… was in LKM twice in 2 days and told nothing was wrong… now I’m in Miami at Sinai and they are finding plenty…. LKM is a joke

  99. The waiting room was unbearably cold. In addition, the television was tuned to FOX News and had a guest on telling everyone that COVID was a hoax being perpetuated by the Democrats in order to force prices on goods to rise… IN A HOSPITAL, PEOPLE WERE TALKING ABOUT AND SPREADING LIES. Well done, LKMC… NOT😠😡🤬😡😠😡🤬😡😠😡🤬😡😠😡🤬😡😠 …

  100. Ive lived in the Keys since 2005 and I’ve heard stories of subpar service and facilities when the hospitals were mentioned. I had surgery today and i can honestly say i done believe a word of those stories. The facility was very clean. The …

She explained everything that she was going to do and was super kind. Huge thank you to all the doctors and nurses healing everyone during these times!

  104. Very unorganized once I got back to Imagining. I check in with the woman at the desk back there, gave her my intake paperwork and show her me hospital bracelet and my ID. After more than a half hour and I am the only one there I finally …

  105. On the 21st I had a hernia and partial hysterectomy surgery done by Dr. Santiago. I can’t rave enough about the great care given by LKMC staff and quick recovery there after!!! Thanks so much to all involved 💖 …

  106. Called needing assistance with a cpapi haven’t slept in days. They said they can not help me . I asked to speak to a manager as was told no and I had to call back if I wanted one. Not very friendly to someone who is need of medical attention.

  107. I recently made a post about how great my experience was. I ended up having post partum complications and developed an infection. I showed up to the ER and got traumatized. I was in so much pain and told to stop crying, to be quiet, I was …

  108. I was left in excruciating pain alone in the lobby for almost 30 minutes. Nurses walked by with their lunches and no one helped me. I was screaming in agony and no one cared. I made it to a decent hospital and had surgery on my dissected spinal cord. I am a nurse. I understand triage and that was inhumane. Do better.

  109. The methods used to assist the patient in getting to the test site is professional and pleasant. My test was performed in the allotted time and the patient was released. I had an MRI. Thank you, all who aided me.

  116. I recently had 2 outpatient surgeries at the hospital and the staff was absolutely amazing! Especially the nurses in the outpatient department and the OR were fantastic making me feel super comfortable and safe.

  117. Patient care is adequate. Billing….Watch out! They will send any money owed to collections with no bill sent to your home even though you verify your address 100 times.

  118. The nurses were great. I had a hard time at the guidance care clinic at Depoo because I was not made aware that if you check in on your own accord you can’t check out on your own. Your at the mercy of when the doctor come in. I think that …
