He arrives at the ER & vitals are taken. According to the medical records, the pain "started at work after heavy lifting". The man never got out of his truck, never made this statement. (Record also states he is a "current every day smoker". The man has never smoked a cigarette in his life.) They send him for a CT scan, which just shows some degenerative changes". The nurse sticks a lidocaine patch on his back. Then no one comes to see him. A nurse walks by & a family member asks has anyone taken his BP recently. Her reply,"Did you ask him?", meaning the patient. What kind of snarky response is that??? The ER was not busy, but the patient, with the fentanyl wearing off, is now extremely uncomfortable. The ER physician, Dr. S comes in to tell the patient he's being discharged. The family member tells the doctor that the patient complained of urgency & painful urination that morning. The doctor tells them to go have his prostate checked. NO LABS WERE DONE. A simple urinalysis would've shown that the patient had a UTI. There was tenderness in the right lower back area. But Dr. S ignores this and sends the man home. T - temperature (normal) I - Infection (painful urination) M - Mental Decline (patient was anxious & "tired" by discharge) E - Extremely Ill (patient felt the worse he's felt in his life with severe pain) TIME - the signs of SEPSIS. In fact, during the Severe Sepsis Screening, male RN SG, documented YES on the heart rate, which was 128 on admission, & 127 on discharge. DO NOT GO TO THE ER at JFK MAIN. Some pee in a cup. Just a simple CBC. These tests were never done & would've shown that this man had sepsis. Instead, he was discharged. By the head of the ER. After only an hour being home, the man was taken by his family to their local hospital where immediately a sepsis alert was called. An E coli infection from the urinary system... He was admitted & started immediately on IV antibiotics. Remained in the hospital, where they also discovered a mass on the patient's bladder. Cancer. A complaint against Dr. S was filed with the FL DOH. But HCA has a lot of money & great lawyers. Nothing is on record about the complete oversight by Dr. S. He gets to practice emergency medicine forever. This hospital was once known to be the best cardiac hospital in PBC. Since HCA took over, it is not #1 anymore. Even their top cardiothoracic surgeon got the heck out of there. AVOID. AVOID. AVOID.

This review is probably unique because I am the patient. This is my firsthand account. I came to…read morethis hospital very sick. I was at JFK, where I coded and was on many machines. I had issues with my breathing and I was too weak to work with therapy. I came to Select to get better. While I was here I had a respiratory crisis and needing a tracheostomy and a ventilator. I had to be seen by doctors everyday and taken care of in the ICU for a couple of weeks. Little by little I began to improve and breath more on my own. I started working with physical, occupational and speech therapy. It took a couple of months and this place helped me get back to my life. I am able to walk, talk and eat on my own again. I get to home now and I am thankful for that. There are so many people I want to thank for making a difference in my stay. Almost all the nurses were fantastic. Kelly & Katie made me feel like I was a family member and Demi, Magdal and Daphnee were always on point. The respiratory therapists helped me to get back to breathing.... Terrill and Phillippe were some of my favorite RTs. Eddie In Physical therapy helped me to get up walking again. It became a routine to get coffee myself with PT once I was walking... fyi, Sarah Makes the Best coffee. There are so many other people who made an impact on my stay that I am thankful for. Select is the place to go if you value your life.

On Mother's Day, I walked in to find him gasping for air. The nurse told me "he's fine, he's been like that for two hours." He was not fine -- he was in respiratory distress and ultimately suffered an anoxic brain injury that led to his death. My sister, an ER nurse 1,800 miles away, had to direct the code team through FaceTime because they didn't know what to do. The hospital later altered records 17 times after the incident. There was no accountability because Florida's "Free Kill Law" prevents families from suing if their parent is unmarried or has no dependents. Please think twice before trusting this facility with your loved one -- what happened to my father should never happen to anyone.

The facility does seem a bit older, and it is a tad strange getting prepped for surgery with tons of other people, just separated by curtains, but this was my first time having this common procedure. All in all it was simple and painless. Even leaving, they have everything so well organized, down to a T. I would definitely return here again for my next one. As a first timer, I did find their prep info confusing. The very specific instructions said I would receive a call within a very specific time frame- 2 days before- and this call never came. I called the number on the flyer. It was a saturday, so they were closed, but the message assured me that their voicemail is checked twice a day. However, no one ever returned my call.

It is only when I call and I tell them that I can send them the receipt that they check it and say, "oh yes, you don't have a balance." Double billing is a practice among many in the medical field. Just be sure that you're checking and keeping track with this facility.

Many of the doctors, in my experience, are phenomenal, Dr. Gary Richman in particular. I did have…read morean issue with the hip/knee surgeon's P.A., she was very cold and uncaring. Due to her rudeness I chose a surgeon at a different practice, sorry Dr A. But thanks for taking great care of my dad. It's the way the office is run that gets me crazy. Making appointments can make your hair go gray. After hanging on hold for anywhere between 5 to 18 minutes after calling the main number, you best be sure they are truthful when giving an appointment many weeks out. There are probably appts sooner if you are standing in front of a friendly office receptionist. And if you are calling to reach a doctor or his/her medical staff, good luck with that. If you are already a patient in the practice, best to ask your doctor for an extension to reach their medical assistant in case you have an emergency and need to be seen immediately. A broken bone or excruciating pain cannot wait for weeks.

The entire experience was not only efficient, but also genuinely caring--something that can be hard to find in healthcare settings.

Since my yearly appointment last year, the office has fully integrated their mammogram services. I…read morelove being able to get my mammo and my yearly appointment done in the same spot at the same time. This is so convenient. Now the mammogram room is inside of their offices, so there is no need to go to a different building. Last visit, they explained why having a baseline is so important, so I feel so glad to know that I will never 'forget' to get a mammogram or have to allot extra time to get one, and that the results of being with the same provider are beneficial. The mammogram was fast, painless, and I didn't have to go through the whole undress and put my things in a locker process. Then, for my yearly appointment, I finally saw Dr. Siegfried again after 20 years, and she's still awesome! Thorough, patient, compassionate, and so easygoing and easy to talk to. I was impressed with the ease of discussing menopause options and the almost immediate follow up with my pharmacy. Thank you!

To add insult to injury our previous appointment had been cancelled due to the Dr. having a family emergency.
