    I just wanted to take a moment to give a huge shout-out to Isabella! I recently had my bloodwork…read moredone, and honestly, she made the entire experience so incredibly easy and comfortable. Getting blood drawn isn't usually something I look forward to, but her friendly demeanor and gentle touch really made a difference. She's truly fantastic at her job and turned what could have been a bit stressful into a surprisingly smooth and pleasant visit!

    I genuinely cannot believe the way I was treated at this Quest location this morning…read more I was called back and handed the employee my prescription for bloodwork. I also asked whether they had received a prescription/order from another one of my doctors. She initially told me no. I explained that I had confirmed with my doctor yesterday that it had been sent and politely asked if she could please check again. I was looking at her computer at this point and she "checked again"and suddenly found it, but told me it "wasn't a prescription." Fine. I explained that I knew I would need a specimen cup and asked whether I could take one home while I followed up with my doctor. Instead of simply explaining what she needed from the doctor, she walked across the room, opened a drawer full of different specimen cups, and told me to COUNT how many different kinds of cups were in the drawer. I explained what the sample was for and said I would call my doctor, which she initially agreed I should do. Then, while I was trying to contact my doctor, she AGAIN demanded that I count the different kinds of specimen cups in her drawer. My jaw was practically on the floor. I finally told her, "I don't need to count what's in that drawer." At that point, she REFUSED TO DRAW MY BLOOD and told me to go back to the waiting room. At 7:30 in the morning, I was just not in the mood for this woman, so I stayed quiet and walked out the door. Thankfully, another employee named Mikaela stepped in. She drew my blood, FOUND THE ORDER I had been asking about, gave me the specimen cup I needed, told me I owed money, even though the last Quest bill I had said $0 but fine. I paid what she asked. In other words, the things I had been told apparently couldn't be done were handled by another employee without all of the unnecessary hostility and drama. I asked for the first employee's name and was told it was "Jay." I cannot independently confirm that is actually her name, but that is the name I was given. What bothers me most is thinking about elderly patients being treated this way. This area like my 80 year old mother who may already have difficulty getting to appointments, understanding medical orders, or navigating the healthcare system. Imagine speaking to an elderly, sick or vulnerable patient this way because they asked a question about a specimen cup. The arrogance, hostility, and complete lack of professionalism I experienced was just astounding!!!Refusing to perform someone's blood draw because they wouldn't participate in some bizarre power trip of counting specimen cups in a drawer is absolutely ridiculous. And unfortunately, this isn't my first frustrating experience with Quest. I've previously had appointments where the location was changed or where I arrived and no one was there to provide the scheduled service. After today, the low reviews for this location make a lot more sense. Mikaela , thank you for finding the order, drawing my blood, and simply doing what I came there to have done. What kind of chip does someone have on their shoulder to believe they are so entitled to simply refuse a patient's blood draw because the patient questioned their behavior? That is an extraordinary amount of power for someone to think they have over a person who is there seeking medical services. Patients should not have to worry if declining to participate in an employee's condescending little exercise will result in that employee retaliating by refusing their care. As for "Jay," if that is indeed her name: the last place someone with that kind of attitude should be working is in a patient-facing healthcare setting! I expect a response from Quest regarding this experience. I am not taking it lightly. Someone in management should be reviewing what happened, because patients should not be subjected to this kind of behavior and then have an employee apparently decide, on her own, that they will no longer receive the service they came in for. Completely unnecessary. Completely unprofessional. And absolutely disgusting treatment of a patient who was simply trying to get her lab work done.

    On 5/17/26, my friend was brought into the ER for an attempted suicide and was immediately placed…read morein the elopement/high-risk ward. What followed was one of the most disorganized and unprofessional hospital experiences I have ever witnessed. For someone considered "high risk," he was never properly dressed out. He remained in his own clothing the entire time, including jeans, a belt, sneakers with shoelaces, and a regular shirt. That alone seemed completely inconsistent with the level of risk they claimed he posed. His first nurse was cold, dismissive, and rude from the beginning. My friend admittedly was not in the best mood, but the attitude and lack of compassion from a medical professional was unnecessary and inappropriate. Poison Control had ordered blood testing every two hours initially, then every three hours. After the first test, we were told his levels were trending down, which was supposedly good news. Yet a few hours later, a man entered the room without introducing himself and abruptly informed my friend he was "not leaving," his levels were "high," and he was at risk of ICU admission. No explanation. No bedside manner. No consistency with what we had previously been told. Despite supposedly being "high risk" and possibly ICU-bound, his monitors sat disconnected from around 7 PM until discharge. Vitals were not being consistently checked. He was barely physically assessed and instead was simply watched on a camera monitor. I know this because I was allowed to stay with him the entire time. Then came the night shift nurse, Ariel. She was rude, condescending, visibly irritated to be there, and openly dismissive toward both of us. She threatened delays in treatment and care and repeatedly responded to basic patient questions with "I don't know" or "that's not my job." At one point, when I politely asked if a doctor would still see him that late at night and whether they were done drawing blood, she snapped at me and accused me of "flipping out" on her, despite the fact I never raised my voice and intentionally remained calm because of her previous attitude. Around this same time, the elderly man in the room next door repeatedly yelled that he was wet and soiled, and the night staff never checked on him while we were awake. It was heartbreaking and honestly disturbing. At approximately 3 AM, Ariel casually informed us my friend had apparently been medically cleared since 11 PM. Neither of us had been told this for four hours. We then continued waiting. And waiting. By 5 AM, still no doctor. 6 AM, still no doctor. Shift change came and went. The morning nurse was the first staff member who treated us like actual human beings. When we explained that we had still never seen a physician and described the issues overnight, she did not seem remotely surprised. 8 AM: nothing. 9 AM: nothing. He was finally offered breakfast despite having received almost nothing prior. We were eventually told we were "lucky" he was not seen by another psych doctor because apparently that doctor "only sees patients he has already decided to admit." That statement alone was alarming. Finally, around 10:00 to 10:30 AM, a psychiatric doctor arrived. He was professional, kind, respectful, and actually demonstrated bedside manner. He informed my friend he would be discharged and said it would not take long. We still remained there another 2 to 3 hours before discharge actually happened. The room itself was filthy the entire stay. There were random caps and trash on the floor that did not belong to anything used for my friend's care, along with crushed crackers and debris. No blankets. No pillows. Yet somehow he was still allowed to wear all of his own clothing and belongings in a supposedly high-risk psychiatric setting. I understand emergency rooms are busy and healthcare workers are under pressure. But there is a difference between being overwhelmed and providing negligent, dismissive, and disorganized care. Neither I nor my friend would willingly choose HCA Florida Fort Walton-Destin Hospital again after this experience. Another major issue throughout this experience was the complete lack of communication with his emergency contact, his mother, who lives out of state. She repeatedly attempted to get updates regarding his condition and care and was either told staff "didn't know" anything or had calls abruptly ended. For a patient in a mental health crisis, the absence of basic communication and compassion toward immediate family was unacceptable and only added more stress to an already serious situation.

    I was met by helpful people who cared. It was 0600 and I was in pain! The care began with triage…read more I was, then led to an area to be evaluated. The area was very clean with a tv to watch. The Nurses were very knowledgeable and thoughtful! I cut my right thumb at the mid-joint area and was afraid I may had done damage. It was a freak accident at a beauty salon. The was a metal plate at the end of each arm and I grabbed it; boom big cut! Tetanus shot was given, and RX. ARNP Joan was professional and reassured me I would be fine! So, I left feeling much better. I'm really glad they were there!
