They do not know something as basic as sepsis. They'll send you home with costricondritis to let you die. If it effects their bottom line...... You die. They absolutely DO NOT care. As long as you die without a lawsuit. read more

I worked there. I didn't know healthcare workers considered manatee the worst hospital in Florida. It was my one travel assignment, I was excited to take. Ive never been so disappointed. 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. Adults crossing over to neonates back and forth. I was in shock but the hospital lived up to its reputation. Highest paying contract in Florida and most travelers left. 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. I don't like leaving negative reviews but I also shouldn't be having nightmares months later read more

The nurses in the ICU 5th floor are some of the most unreliable lying nurses I have ever encountered,,, besides being arrogant they are ALL LIARS,,, even after the head managing director of nurses gave an order the nurses all lied and refused to do what she said,,, unbelievable !!! Head hospital officers should look into this sad situation all the nurses should be reviewed and put on a 90 day suspension.. does anyone know a good lawyer that is looking for a case against them... nough said, but I'm serious... read more

Went to the ER and was very pleased with the care we received. It was a calming experience because of the care team. Facility was very clean and organized. Professional, courteous, knowledgeable staff and they kept us informed along the way. They were also very supportive of one another. Thank you for taking such good care of us and for the important work you do each and every day!! read more

MMH ER is the worst hospital I've ever been to. ER doctor (did not introduced herself ) has no bedside manners, had a shit face as if she was miserable... she discharges me with "I don't have an answer, Ct scan and all tests are normal - you must go to Cardiologist" why do I need cardiologist if all is "normal"?? I go to discharge waiting area, the nurse tells me they don't have my Ct scan results yet.. WTF! what results did the ER Dr review to decide to discharge me?? this hospital only cares about charging the insurance, they do not care about their patients. read more

This review is regarding physical therapy at 8700 SR 70, Rehabilitation and Sports Medicine. I searched for PT for lymphedema through the LANA website. I found PT A. McCarthy who is LANA trained. Never have I ever felt so discouraged. I have been dealing with this condition for over 8 years. I met with this therapist for initial consultation and was told I would need to come consecutively for treatment to work. I explained I could take one week off. A. McCarthy agreed I also explained my goal was to get new compression garments. Mind you this therapist only works Tuesday through Thursday. Day one was told my leg was "in bad condition" never had therapist tell me this. Also told I wasn't clean my skin was in horrible condition etc. kept my mouth shut as I felt she was wanting to teach me?! Last day of treatment she refused to measure my leg for me. Told me I would need three weeks of treatment before I'd even be ready for new compression garments. I asked why I wasn't told this at the consultation? I would have waited until I was able to come in everyday for three weeks. It was a total mess my leg was bigger than when I began treatment! I was unable to unwrap and shower, I had done this in the past. She said "haven't you ever heard of a sponge bath". Told me my foot had an odor? We'll wouldn't anybody smell bad after 4 days of not washing. Asked her if I could wash the bandages was told I only get one set! Brought my own clean bandages was told not the correct size etc etc Worst experience eight PT I have ever had. Do not ever go to A McCarthy if you want care for lymphedema. Doesn't even know how to do simple decongestive massage. This woman reduced me to tears. Questioned why I hadn't sought treatment for two years? Um pandemic maybe??!! Stay far away from this person. Very strong opinion her way or no way. Did not take my concerns into consideration. Just awful read more

Five months ago I suffered from a collapsed lung. I had to go to a hospital and the closest one that took my insurance was Manatee Memorial. It was the worst experience I've ever experienced in my entire life and I have been in other hospitals for extended periods. There were very few people that treated me with care and kindness. Thank you to all of you again. The unnecessary pain I went through from the emergency room to my stay in the respiratory ward was just uncalled for! They needed only to listen to me. They did not! I went through way more pain through their treatment than was necessary. The bed itself, which I was stuck in for a week, was broken. After many complaints that it wouldn't hold air, were ignored throughout my stay. I at one point had to unplug it so that I could even sleep and you have no idea how painful it was to sleep on hard surface that that created. The stent that was in my arm for the whole week was bleeding the whole time, and I couldn't get them to change it. It came out looking like an old plastic chewed up toothpick. The food was practically inedible. The night staff were loud and parting throughput the night with total disregard for any of the patients. I'm so glad I didn't get sick from the lack of cleanliness in the area of my stay. I could go on and I wasn't even going to write about all of this, but after three months, I am still getting contacted for more bills I guess. This just shows how bad these people really are in the billing office. I had to plead for them to help put me on a payment plan. Five days of treatment cost nearly $100,000 for just the stay that my insurance paid for nearly all of and they couldn't forgive $4000? How many people do they see that never even pay? I would choose any other hospital before I would go to Manatee Memorial Hospital. read more

I spent 3 hours at Manatee Memorial last night with my sick Friend, He still did not get seen. There were 25 other sick people in the close setted room.we left and went home without being seen. At 5am we went to another Hospital ER. There they took my Friend straight back for treatment and EKG. Also I was disappointed to see Manatee Memorial ER was no clean. Bathrooms were discusting.

Dreaded taking my son to the ER since you hear such horror stories of long waits and how patients are treated. I must say Manatee Memorial Hospital ER runs like a well oiled machine. The staff was so caring and professional. After a CT scan and blood and urine tests it was confirm he had a kidney stone. In less the 3 hours we were out of the ER and headed to the pharmacy for meds. read more

Needed emergency care and being a snowbird resident was unsure of care I could get but was very satisfied with care I received on 2-17-18. Unit was clean and receptionist/nursing help very efficient. My R.N. Gabe was fantastic, he provided care and when above and beyond to locate personal to discharge me! read more

A Big Thanks to the nurses and medical teams both in the Emergency Department and the Progressive Care Unit (PCU) for the wonderful and compassionate care they provided to my aunt Phyllis Colapietro, prior to her passing on February 13, 2018.

My wife and I recently adopeted a baby boy who was born at Manatee Memorial Hospital. He was 36 weeks old when he was born, and he spent the first two plus weeks of his life in the NICU at Manatee Memorial. A special thank you to ALL of his "girlfriends" a.k.a. nurses who looked after him and who took such wonderful care of him during his time in their unit. Each and every one of you are AWESOME and deserve a million hugs each and every day!!!! Another big thank you to Dr. Soto and Dr. Cartaya for helping him ease his way in to the world! Without the two of you by his side I'm not sure where the little guy would be today. Words can not thank you for what you did for our son, and for how you helped my wife and I understand everything that was / is going on with him. read more

Checked in at 1:50 pm into the ER. An hour later we made it behind the double doors. Not to bad for emergency room, so that was expected. Took quite a while until we were seen after that. Tech came and did a horrible job drawing blood on my 84 year old mothers arm. Then we wait again. Doctor came around and was very personable. Said he would back after labs came back and ordered XRay. At 5:30 pm, a nurse said he would check on labs, then found out the lab didn't see the blood so it would be a bit. Took mother's X-rays. Another hour no lab results not X-ray results but took her for a CT. Nobody checks on you or gives you any status (many busy on cell phones). We never saw a Dr again. Finally close to 7:30 pm, a gal comes and says she has the release paperwork. I asked, is anyone intending on letting us know the diagnosis or how any of the tests came out. Sorry I give a lot of leeway to medical support, but this was down right rude, and we were right across from the desk. read more
