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.

AND I traveled with my two 17 yr. old cats. I was a stressed out mess. Arrived to my rental house (site unseen) and found that landlord listed house with her ReMax realtor husband. He lied about lots of things listed on Zillow. I started having severe headaches and ended up in ER two times within 2 days (After arriving 4 days earlier). ER doctors/nurses immediately gave me their special cocktail that I had a severe redaction to. They didn't pickup on this common problem to their cocktail and thought I was in "alcohol withdrawal" . They kept upping the dose and giving me more of the Ativan. I became out of control with ACUTE AKATHISIA and pretty much comatose. They told my family/friend that my "ammonia" level was high and they see it all the time. They decided to admit me for observation. IN the Psych Unit for 2 days. This is called "DIAGNOSTIC OVERSHADOWING ". They are brushing it off. Found out you can't sue a Florida hospital. You can ONLY try. Talked with my 2 doctors in Iowa and explained what happened. They BOTH said I was experiencing a severe stress headache and that WILL raise your ammonia levels. Too bad I can't EVEN find that "ammonia test" results IN THE DOCTORS REPORT/Testing, from that early afternoon arrival at SMH. Were they covering something up?

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

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! Lastly, to the anesthesiologist team made up of two ladies, and two gentlemen, thank you so much for answering all my questions and putting my mind at ease. What a wonderful staff you all have!

I usually would go to Sarasota Memorial, Downtown, which I do for breast exams, etc. and rate them highly. I will not come back to SMH at University Parkway for a MRI. The person providing the MRI said he was at the end of his 7 hour shift. He was not dressed neatly in "uniform" of any kind, and smelled of BO. I first thought he was a maintenance person. He did not provide assistance in terms of how to negotiate the MRI bed, what to hold on to, etc. Very casual and not engaged in the process. Very unusual from positive experienced I have had with SMH downtown.
