I was having an issue with the removal of my heart loop device and needed to be seen, the office acted so quickly to move things around to get me in right away and before the weekend got here and more days passed. It said so much to me to learn that during my visit because it would have been so easy to just not make the 15 minutes needed but no, they made it happen and was even in contact with my primary care doctor to coordinate everything. That is one reason why I always have BayCare doctors, their system is linked, making it easier for them.

Everyone takes the necessary time to provide me with a superb echocardiogram experience. Although I was greeted by a most congenial receptionist at the registration desk, I must say that it was the actual testing performed by a staff member, only known to me by her Armenian/Ukrainian heritage, that pleased me most. She has a pleasant talking voice. Knowledgeable skills were clearly on display throughout the entire testing process. Dr. Jesse Klein, DO, who treated my heart attack back in 2020 displays an extremely high level of professional expertise, combined with a consistent caring attitude. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

We experienced a failed communication / process between largo medical where the test was performed…read more, and the " test reader" at Heart institute. When this test was scheduled, we warned that surgery was 2 days away and the report needed to be expedited. We were assured this was doable. AT 5:00 pm THE NIGHT BEFORE SURGERY were told many others had called on our behalf and got voice mail or non answers so we found OURSELVES trying to locate the report , unaware of the processes or handoffs between the two facilities . In desperation, we asked for help from Sandy, executive assistant to Adam Rudd , largo medical CEO . She reported --the next day--that she was only able to "leave a message" as well. If the CEOs office can't get results, does that Tell you something? Without this report and no clearance, our long planned/ awaited surgery was cancelled. Afterwards , we wrote both facilities to try to find the point of failure to prevent another patient from this experience, due to some lost report, in pain for another month. The Heart Institute seemed somewhat aware of THEIR role in the dropped ball yet both institutions pointed fingers, lacked interest in resolving. Why not more concern over So many disrupted schedules , many medical personnel hours and resources wasted from canceling an 8 hour surgery the night before? Or how about any empathy or apology for the patient and family forced to reschedule, re-test, waiting in pain? We specifically emailed the Largo medical CEO Adam Rudd 3 times between 1/30/22 and 2/1/22, while being assured by his assistant Sandy that he'd respond. We again called and requested he review our communications. Nothing received as of 3/1/22. If you need their services, be sure to navigate every possible point of failure because They don't seem to care.

This guy has ZERO compassion, ZERO communication skills and has not business treating anyone but patients that are under anesthesia. I took my mom to see him after her stroke. He was her cardiologist while she was in Morton Plant. He was the first doctor we could get in to see after her discharge. (her primary doc retired and we have another week before we can get in to establish with her new Primary Care doc). She's having so much anxiety about having another stroke, frustration because the anxiety causes extreme fatigue and she's short of breath. She can't eat, she's not doing her therapy exercises. His response? "Well your heart looks good. That's all probably from anxiety. You should see someone about that." Not one iota of compassion or understanding. Just another arrogant doctor with a God complex and a "how dare you question me" attitude. If you're looking for a doctor who will treat the PERSON, not the organ, this guy is NOT it.

I became a patient several years ago after having a heart attack and my original Dr. moving away…read more Dr. Kovach is arrogant and does not care about his patients. His office staff is worse. I called in early December after noticing I had extremely high blood pressure. His office staff said they could not get me in until January. I asked to be put on a waiting list but they said they had no way to do that! REALLY! I Wonder if they ever heard of a Pencil and a Pad? It's an amazing tool, you write down a name and number, and if someone cancels you find the paper and call the next name on the list! AMAZING! Then after waiting until early January, at 6:00pm the night before my 8:00 appointment they called to cancel the appointment and put me back in the queue. Thanks but NO Thanks! If I die as a result of this you can blame Dr. Kovach!

My appointments with him have always been timely (unless he's had a cardio emergency beyond his control at the hospital), and during our visits he's been very thorough, not rushed, and friendly.

I recommend him highly, and his nurse Betsy and the rest of staff at Clearwater Cardiovascular are top notch as well.

About two weeks ago my mom was admitted after a stroke and everyone from the ER triage nurses to the people delivering meal trays were just so nice, helpful and patient with my mother and kept our family up to date with things regarding her health. Since we spent a few long days at the hospital we were given a cart with tea, coffee, bottled water, soft drinks, fruit and snacks every day that were were there. That was completely unexpected and so appreciated. I especially appreciate the nurses in the Neuro ICU unit and the nurses in the third floor comfort care unit. Their compassion and was incredible especially since such an awful time in our lives. They have a DD downstairs in the lobby and a cafeteria where the food actually isn't bad at all. They even provide meals free of charge sent to the patient's room if you want.

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 in 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. If you or your loved ones rely on HCA Healthcare in Florida, please take time to learn how this system really works and how families can protect themselves. Search for and follow Healthcare Accountability Initiative to learn how you can use your voice to push for safer, accountable healthcare.

Chris Purcell is a no-drama, completely engaged medical professional who is remarkably concerned…read morewith his patients health. I have recommended several people to him over the years (he is not always taking on new patients, so check back regularly) and have had grateful communications from every one of them. One good friend that I had referred to him, after this friend had griped that his current doctor was just not that interested, complained jokingly that Dr Purcell was spending too much time on him and that his appointments were taking too long. If I had any negative it would be that during busy times (eg flu season) it can be hard to get an appointment with him, and they try to divert you to other Doctors in the (large) practice. Dr Purcell is the best doctor I have ever interacted with, in any field. PS: If you research him, you will find he is one of those rare family doctors who takes almost nothing (bribes?) from the pharmaceutical industry.
