Tampa General Hospital Reviews ( 250 )

  1. 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!!!

  2. 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.

  3. 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 …

  4. 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.

  14. 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, …

  17. 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 …

  18. 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 …

  19. 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 …

  25. 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!

  26. 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 …

  27. 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 …

  47. 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

  48. 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 …

  57. 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 …

  112. 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.

  113. 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.

  114. 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.

  115. 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!!

  116. 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 …

  117. 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.

  118. 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!!!!

  119. 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.

  120. 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 …

  121. 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.

  122. 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

  123. 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

  124. 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.

  125. 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 !

  126. 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

  127. 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.

  128. 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. I would give it no stars if I had the option. Worst hospital if your in pain or dying please go to any other hospital.

  129. They gave my daughter who has SICKLE CELL ANEMIA SS HEMOGLOBIN A ROOM IN OBSERVATION & she had NO BATHROOM THE ER WAS DIRTY & BLOOD ON THE FLOOR DOCTORS DISCUSSING PATIENTS PRIVATE MEDICAL INFO LOUDLY IN THE HALL THE. AS MANAGER NURSE, …
