    I'd love to say five stars but the parking situation here is well out of hand. I don't know if…read morethey're building another parking deck anytime soon but it was absolutely nuts. I watched people getting off the elevator for over 90 minutes before I was finally able to follow someone to a space they were leaving. Yowza. We had two visits here within a week. One was a simple biopsy. The later was an extended stay in the Neuro ICU. Don't worry, everyone's fine now. The nursing staff was over the top welcoming, helpful, caring and friendly. Especially the nurse who spotted my brother and I in my Dad's room after he went back for his procedure and walked us over to the area so we could be with him before he went back for it. And just everyone was super nice. I wouldn't want to spent multiple days here again but if there's a nicer hospital in South Florida, I can't find it.

    If I could give this zero stars, I would . I took my three-month-old baby to Baptist Health,…read moreformerly Boca Regional Hospital, because she had a high fever, swollen eyes, and hadn't eaten in over 10 hours. As a terrified parent, I expected proper care and honesty. Instead, I got misinformation, misdiagnosis, and an avoidable financial burden. At no point during check-in or triage did anyone mention that this hospital does not treat pediatric patients. That critical fact was only brought up after we had already been taken to the back and tests were started. They performed a nasal swab and collected barely a drop of urine, then told me my baby had a urinary tract infection. They discharged us with medication and assured me she was fine. Within less than 24 hours, my baby's condition got much worse. I had to rush her to another hospital, where she was immediately admitted for severe dehydration, a GI virus, and rhinovirus. The doctors there confirmed that Baptist Health completely misdiagnosed my baby. A UTI cannot be confirmed on-site -- urine must be sent to a lab, which takes at least 24 hours. To make matters worse, Baptist Health didn't even have the capability to give a baby IV fluids or perform basic bloodwork -- things that any hospital should be able to do for an infant in distress. I've never heard of a hospital that can't even provide IVs or bloodwork for a sick baby. Because of their negligence and failure to communicate, I am now stuck paying two $250 co-pays -- one for Baptist Health (Boca Regional) and another for the hospital that actually treated my baby properly. Had they simply told me up front that they don't treat pediatric patients, I would have taken my baby elsewhere and avoided both the misdiagnosis and the added expense. This experience was heartbreaking, infuriating, and completely unacceptable. No parent should have to go through this -- scared, misled, and paying for inadequate care. If you have a child, do not take them to Baptist Health (formerly Boca Regional Hospital). Go to a hospital that actually has the proper pediatric resources and staff to care for your baby safely.

    This is a long overdue review of one my physicians, cardiologist Thomas Bartzokis. Some of those…read morewho follow me on Yelp think it's funny that I submit reviews of medical providers rather than focusing on restaurants. (These days of COVID-19, I have not been to a restaurant since February 2020). And then there are others who thank me for such reviews, and have found the information useful and have even consulted with the physician, when a need arose, based on such a review. So I continue to post them as a service to those who find them of value. I've been a patient of Bartzokis for 15 years and he continues to impress me with his thorough and conservative approach to the practice of cardiology. Harvard trained, as are several of his partners in this practice, he's an astute clinician and importantly, is sensitive to the psychological as well as medical aspects of cardiac disease. As an example, I have A-fib, which is controlled by several medications. When I've had some challenging times when the A-fib was "acting up" and not in good control, Dr B. Has counseled me that my condition is annoying and can be frightening, but that it is not fatal. Such advice has helped me through some tough times. His practice is comprehensive, in addition to routine EKG's, echo cardiograms and stress tests are performed "in house". This includes stress tests which do not require running on a tread mill, but use a drug to mimic a reaction (nuclear stress test). He has been my physician when I've had hospitalizations, has provided medical clearance when needed prior to surgery, especially related to the need to temporarily discontinue critical blood thinners before and after surgery. This is a busy practice with 5 cardiologists, and the office can sometimes be quite hectic. And getting an appointment can sometimes be a challenge based on scheduling demands, I've discovered how to navigate through the practice to meet my needs. Over the years the support staff have varied between those who are a bit abrupt and those who show concern and are efficient in addressing your needs. I would imagine that most individuals seeking the care of a cardiologist would obtain a referral from their primary care physician, and not consult Yelp, quite frankly. But since I feel strongly that Bartzokis is an outstanding cardiologist, for those who might be wondering about him after receiving a referral or find this review by accident, I have no qualms submitting it. Stay safe and take all your medications, Yelp friends. Make sure you know what your blood pressure is and should be, don't ignore chest pain or irregular heart rhythms, and continue to live a full life.

    For nearly two years, I repeatedly expressed concerns to Dr. Bartzokis about my coronary calcium…read morescore of 620. My understanding is that a calcium score this high indicates significant plaque buildup, and I was concerned because the score itself does not identify where the blockages are located. Each time I raised my concerns, they were dismissed, with comments that he had patients with calcium scores much higher than mine. In April, while riding my bike, my smartwatch alerted me that my heart rate had reached 172 bpm. Initially, I thought the watch might be malfunctioning, but I did not feel well. Two days later, while simply walking, my heart rate rose to 148 bpm. Concerned, I immediately contacted my primary care physician, who saw me the same day. After performing an EKG, he diagnosed me with atrial fibrillation, prescribed Eliquis and medication to control my heart rate, and strongly advised me to see my cardiologist as soon as possible. I contacted Dr. Bartzokis' office but did not receive a return call. The following morning, I called again and was told to come into the office around 11:00 a.m. A nurse performed another EKG, which happened to be normal at that moment. I explained that I had recently been diagnosed with atrial fibrillation, was experiencing chest pain, did not feel well, and remained extremely concerned about my calcium score. The nurse told me she would ask Dr. Bartzokis to come in and see me. She returned with a heart monitor and informed me that he was too busy and that I should come back in a week. While she was attaching the monitor, I again emphasized that I had recently been diagnosed with atrial fibrillation, had chest pain, and had been expressing concerns about my elevated calcium score for two years. She again said she would speak with him. When she returned, she once more informed me that he was too busy to see me. Two nights later, my smartwatch alerted me that my heart rate had reached 148 bpm while I was sleeping. The following morning, it remained around 142 bpm. My wife drove me to the emergency room, where I was immediately admitted to the hospital. After evaluation, I underwent a cardiac catheterization procedure. The results revealed two significant blockages: one at 90% and another at 70%. Two stents were required. I was informed that the 90% blockage involved a major coronary artery often referred to as the "widow-maker." What is most upsetting to me is that I sought help repeatedly. I reported atrial fibrillation, chest pain, elevated heart rates, and longstanding concerns about a high calcium score. Despite these warning signs, I was never seen by Dr. Bartzokis during that urgent visit because he was reportedly too busy. I cannot overstate my disappointment with the lack of urgency, concern, and communication I experienced. Based on my personal experience, I do not feel that my symptoms were taken seriously, and I cannot recommend this practice to others seeking responsive cardiac care.
