Absolutely wonderful hospital. I was looking at some of the reviews of this hospital and I'm…read morecompletely shocked at some of the ratings. I'll start by saying they have valet parking when you come to this hospital for regular visit or for ER visit I had to go to the ER Thought I was having a heart attack or stroke. They got me immediately back ran a ton of test for two days kept me for observation overnight. It was a complete team approach and I was very very very impressed. The other time that I was at this hospital was recently when my friends daughter gave birth. The entire process the entire team did a fantastic job. Communication was amazing. Their procedures and policies were very modern and up-to-date. After the birth and in the room, the baby never left the room or the mother side or should I say site they had a lot of educational resources and made sure that the Mom understood many things about being a mother what to do in the early days, taking care of a baby. There was a lot of education a lot of communication and a real desire to help the mom take care of the baby the way, the mom wanted to have things done. They were very respectful and very attentive. I could go on and on and on, but after having experience in other hospitals, I can't say this is absolutely the best hospital I've ever been in a reserved service from.

I told the doctors that too, I watched multiple people who came in after me get called back to a room before me. I asked the front desk lady multiple times when they would have a room ready and telling her I was in severe pain. She told me they were cleaning a bed right now, I proceeded to wait another 30 minutes, for a total of almost 2 hours, I decided to go to a different emergency room because clearly they don't have time for me. If you have a real emergency please please please do not make the same mistake I did, and go somewhere else!

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.

From the moment I walked in the door. The employees to travelers telling me was how unsafe the hospital was to how much hate, they had for their director.

Generally, no one leaves a good assignment at higher pay especially in Florida. I just woke up with a nightmare about that place. It's been months since I've worked there.

First I met Alexis at the breast center so they could insert a wire to help locate a tumor in one of my breasts. She was so good at explaining what was going on and making sure I was calm and had all my questions answered. Next came pre-op, and that team couldn't have been any sweeter! Nurse Cristina made sure I was always in the know about what was going on and that I was comfortable! Kudos to Ann who tried to track down my ridiculously deep veins! Shoutout to my surgeon Dr. Kimball who is not only wicked smart, but sweet too!

My 90 year old mother ( who lives independent) was brought in by me because she lives in North Tampa and while visiting, I wanted to "rule out a Urinary bladder infection. " Theresa Bobbett PA was an extremely rude practitioner who stood as far away from the patient as she physically could and advised us that we needed to go to the ER based on her BP. My mother explained that being 90 with CHF, the BP was her normal baseline, I am her daughter a nurse and advised her as well that it was baseline. Teresa would not converse with us and actually REFUSED further care or conversation and directed us to go to the ER. Prior to that we were given a urine specimen cup which they refused to accept the urine specimen. In addition my mother has excellent cognition and there was no evidence of change in mental status during this visit. The PA did not interact much with us, and acted quite unreasonable. We did go the following day to Lakewood Ranch Emergency And they provided outstanding care for her and confirmed urinary tract infection. The trained physician did not even question her blood pressure, provided the antibiotics and off we went. They did do routine blood work and all returned normal. Although SMH urgent care could have treated my mother, they refused care. I'm my opinion, that particular PA is unqualified, in compassionate, unprofessional and in the wrong profession. Further my mother did not need an ER for treatment of a UTI as a PCP or urgent care would be sufficient. LWR ER was an excellent experience with a medical DO physician and highly qualified nurses. I highly recommend Lakewood Ranch ER for professional and compassionate care.
