The entire staff is friendly, professional, and efficient, and they always make the donation process smooth from check-in to checkout. A special thank you to Destin, the manager. She's been there for years, and she's one of the reasons I continue coming back. She leads by example, genuinely cares about both donors and her team, and always takes the time to make everyone feel welcome and appreciated. If you're looking for a place to donate blood, I highly recommend this location. They value your time, treat you with respect, and make giving back an easy and positive experience.

Many of the staff members are who answer the phone act like they are put out, do not want to answer the phone, they hang up on you in mid-sentence when asking for help or answers to questions. Both the Manager and Assistant Mangers at this location do not do their jobs and let their staff act immature and like the location is a Day Care Center. The Manager also allows for some staff members to be vindictive, lie and make verbal threats of violence towards donors they do not like. This company also has a reputation for hiring Sex Offenders, Sexual Predators, Liars and Thieves at it's various locations.

One of the kiosks wasn't working, but there wasn't a sign letting people know, so several people kept trying to use it. Hopefully they'll put up a notice to avoid the confusion. Overall, the visit was well organized despite the number of people. And one final tip: be sure to use the hand sanitizer on your way out!

I'm giving this hospital 4 stars based on the care my friend received during his stay…read more The nurses and doctors were wonderful and did everything they could to make him comfortable and cared for when he needed it most. Because he had a private room, he was able to control the TV just like he does at home, which made him feel a little more at ease. I was impressed by how genuinely the staff seemed to care about him. Even the charge nurse I spoke with was helpful and took the time to answer my questions, even though she was busy. The hospital itself was immaculate, but what stood out most was the compassion and care from the staff. I appreciate everyone who took such great care of my friend during a very difficult time.

EKGs etc. Thankfully all negative except she fractured her hip. This was phase one of Friday and they lived up to their reputation Next came phase two, going to the orthopedic wing which is very nice looking. And that's where it ended. I'll not tell you anymore except if you can avoid the major part of the hospital as except for 2 people it was the worst collection of healthcare people under one roof in the annals of the medical facilities. Two or three decent people , the rest zombies including her so called doctor who was and is not only incapable of exuding any feeling, but clearly was sleeping during his hours at medical school. I won't go into anymore of how this man handled this situation but be on your guard if for some reason you're there. From valet parking which was closed on the weekend, to valet parking today, but one couldn't find a valet for 18 minutes, to Charge Nurses that rarely answered the phone.to a cafeteria that's closed on Saturday.and Sunday But there's a Subway on premises ( who are very nice) to anyone you asked a question if you were advised that they didn't know. Thankfully my wife is resting now in a wonderful therapy facility. I'm very serious when I say Go there for their Trauma Center, then get out. Get out as fast as you can and don't look back. I've written many revues, mostly restaurants and I've never been as critical as this I've also spent too much time in hospitals. No one likes them yet if you cherish your family of friends Trauma Center YES. Regular hospital.your worst nightmare.

His staff was kind and the procedure was actually painless. He gave me nitrous oxide (laughing gas) and numbed me up very well. One thing that impressed me was how fast he worked. Before I had a chance to get nervous or think about it, the tooth was out. Had some mild discomfort for a couple of days, but nothing major. His office followed up by phone that afternoon and the next day. I had a follow up visit a week later and all was well. I cannot recommend his office enough. If you are reading this, I wish you well as no one likes to have work done on their teeth, but if you have to, this office takes good care of you.

The tv was broken, the tv should have the pt names and who is next in the order so you know how behind they are. It is a very helpful item. So that didn't help with the people who kept bothering the techs every time they asked them when they opened the door. They were 45 minutes behind with my appointment, I asked the tech how he was and if this was his normal. He said yes. I asked how many techs were there and a lady from another room yelled we have 4 techs and are all working. I was shocked that I couldn't even speak to my own tech. (I wasn't speaking condescendingly, it's health care.) After that my labs were complete and I left. The only positive I can say is that it is very clean inside where they draw the labs.

Right in front of Baptist Health Bethesda Hospital East, you'll find one of Florida's distinctive…read moreblue historic markers--part of the state's Historical Marker Program, one of the Division of Historical Resources' most popular public history initiatives. These markers highlight important people and places throughout Florida, adding depth and meaning to everyday locations you might otherwise overlook. This particular marker (F-785), installed in 2013 by the Robert Neff Family, the Delray Beach Historical Society, and the Florida Department of State, tells the story of how this area's healthcare system came to be. The surrounding community was first settled in the late 1890s, when medical care was extremely limited. For decades, a small number of doctors and midwives served the area, and the nearest hospital was 18 miles away in West Palm Beach. Critically ill patients often had to be transported by horse and buggy or even fire engine--journeys that were sometimes fatal. In 1947, local civic leaders and physicians formed the Gulfstream Hospital Association to address this urgent need. After years of effort--raising funds, establishing a taxing district, and securing land--the 70-bed Bethesda Memorial Hospital opened on February 9, 1959. Named after the biblical Pool of Bethesda, symbolizing healing, the hospital began with 32 doctors and six dentists. Its first patient underwent an emergency appendectomy, and its first baby was born just a week later. The hospital quickly grew, expanding within six months of opening. Today, as Bethesda Hospital East, it is part of Baptist Health and has evolved into a 401-bed, full-service medical center with more than 500 physicians across 40 specialties. It offers 24/7 emergency care, a Level III neonatal intensive care unit, and advanced services in areas like cancer, heart and vascular, orthopedics, and women's health. The facility also features minimally invasive robotic surgery and an inpatient rehabilitation unit. Beyond patient care, the hospital plays an important educational role through its partnership with Florida Atlantic University's Charles E. Schmidt College of Medicine and its own Bethesda College of Health Sciences, helping train the next generation of healthcare professionals. Even if you're just passing by, the marker is worth a moment of your time--it's a small but meaningful reminder of how far healthcare in this community has come.
