From the first day I arrived, I was welcomed and right away, the staff started attending to my needs. From then on, up to my release to go home, the Nurses, C.N.A.s, and Therapist's, gave me the best of care and courtesy and was treated with great respect through out my stay in the center. I could not had any better then them. I highly recommend this facility with great pleasure, to anyone . Thank you; Eliberto Carmona

The facilities at the SMH Emergency Room were undoubtedly very impressive with well constructed,…read moreoutstandingly insulated patient rooms which provided utmost privacy and comfort. Dr. Ruffin came to see me twice for brief consultations upon conclusion of the examination procedures, and informed me that 90 % of the patients with sporadic / irregular heart beats such as mine require the installation of a pace maker, a statement which proved to be completely inaccurate and totally misleading, according to the team of doctors at Sarasota Memorial. The aforementioned emergency doctor's information reflected serious professional negligence on his part, and his unprofessional and misleading statements warrant further questioning, especially for the well-being of the countless patients whom he consults on a daily basis.

The two orgs connect by a hallway so you can walk indoor back and forth. Parking is an ease. Sadly but vitally there is now great security. You must show ID as well as them taking a pic of you before entering. The Childrens hospital is new and as awesome as the lobby of Healthpark. It looks like a mall here, clear elevators, stores and coffee shops ease the negative thoughts of having to be here when you rather not. The children's hospital is bright, happy, and they just got a brand new electronic piano in the lobby. (I got to break it in! ). Open and clean, this place still smells new. There's a gift shop, lots of different seatings for waiting. There's a wall size screen for movies, Tv, Whatever. I regret no pics of it but my mind was occupied by business. Will def take one next time. Every single staff member that I passed during the hours I spent there were friendly, smiled and helpful. Btw they do employ a music therapist, Love it. (My first career) We are so blessed to have this caring institution here.

They have private rooms only thing when you put on your light they answer from the wall and ask what do you need, instead of May I help you . Lots of people not listening to the patient. They ones that were helpful got spirit awards.

First off, don't need an ER. They are expensive and just not fun. This ER is new, bright, shinny,…read moreexpensive. Also only staff with 2 nurses and a doctor. They have more administration people than health care workers. If they need aome tests runs (ultra sound for example) you have to wait for the staff to drive up from the hospital. It's clean. The nurses great. The administration staff polite and helpful. The doctor that was on when I was there, mah. I would go to SMH if you know you need a lot of tests or xrays. Good experience all in all that should be avoided for health reasons.

I would personally like to thank my nurses Gina and Lexie and charge nurse Lizzy for making me feel at ease, truly caring for my wellbeing and comfort, and making sure I was fed.

My barely 25‑year‑old daughter, Taylor, died after what multiple independent physicians and an…read moreautopsy have confirmed was reckless medical negligence and neglect at an HCA Florida hospital where she was taken after being rear‑ended at a red light. Her internal bleeding went undiagnosed for about eight hours despite glaring signs. Once imaging was finally ordered and active internal bleeding was confirmed, surgery was delayed for roughly seven more hours. In the meantime, the doctor ordered mass blood transfusion in an improper way that worsened her condition instead of stabilizing her, while failing to move the central line that was improperly placed and that the radiologist recommended be repositioned. HCA Healthcare has faced no consequences, and there is no way for people researching physicians through the Florida Department of Health (DOH), the medical licensing board, to see what happened to my daughter. Because she was 25, unmarried, and had no children, Florida's 'Free Kill' law strategically blocked me from pursuing legal recourse to ensure the hospital and its physicians are held accountable so the harm does not continue.

Was admitted December 24th early in the morning, took 9 hours to get a room with my diagnosis being…read moresepsis, a blood anomaly and influenza A. Was given contradicting statements about my health from the ER and the hospital floor staff (they put me in children orthopedics wing and I'm 31 with sepsis... make that make sense). The staff was super nice and accommodating but they essentially kicked me out Christmas morning. I had to go back in the next day because I was even worse, checked in and waited 7 hours with not even an update so I left and drove to Tampa. DO NOT RECOMMEND IN REAL EMERGENCIES because this is not an emergency room. They just allow everyone in, broken bones, spraines, cuts, etc.

After waiting all that time we only received IV fluids and didnt even get meds that night. Doctor was a joke. Had to wait till the next day to fill a prescription. Malpractice at its best. Complete waste of time and money. We were supposed to get a follow up of blood work 4 hours later and that never happened so the nurse finally did it when we were seen. She was frustrated at our care as were we. We were told we could not drink or eat anything this entire time too even though all tests had already been completed. Only good thing about our visit was our nurse and the triage staff. Beyond frustrated overall. Worst ER I have ever been to and will never return.

Upset me a lot Just felt like a second Class citizen. Will never Go again and that's just Me I here good and I here Bad but do know that It's not half as good as The hospital in Laurel road heading to what hospital when I ask for an ultrasound to put an IV in at noon it didn't show with the machine to 11:00 at night and never happens at Laurel road but like I said you know they're understaffed they're nice people and it's just my opinion hey what are you going to do just upset about giving out information to my son that you've never been given out I wish them all well but they won't see me again.
