High-risk patient (aortic stenosis) pressured into trainee surgery -- canceled on surgery day…read more My hernia surgery at Tampa General Hospital was scheduled for February 19, 2026. I have aortic stenosis and was told I'm high risk, so clear communication and informed consent were critical. My pre-admission appointment was February 4, 2026 at 11:30 AM. During pre-admission, I was presented with a disclosure form allowing a student/fellow/resident to perform the surgery. I declined to sign and clearly told staff I did not consent to a fellow/resident performing my procedure. On the day of surgery, while I was being prepared, I was told by Dr. Adham Saad that because TGH is a training hospital, a fellow would be doing the surgery. Dr. Saad said he would be scrubbed in the room "next to the fellow," but he would not be the one performing the operation--only supervising. For a high-risk cardiac patient, that is not calming or reassuring. It felt like a coercive ultimatum: accept a trainee as the primary surgeon or lose your surgery. When I refused again, I was told the surgery would be canceled and that I'd need to find a private doctor/hospital if I wanted only the attending surgeon to perform the operation. If Dr. Saad is already going to be scrubbed in and present, it is unacceptable to pressure a patient--especially a high-risk patient--into a surgery they did not consent to, then cancel at the last minute when they stand their ground. Regardless of being a teaching hospital, patients still have the right to informed consent. This should have been clearly addressed long before surgery day, not when the patient is already prepped and vulnerable. This process caused unnecessary delay, stress, and disruption to my care.

I can't say enough great things about this hospital. I recently had major surgery that required a…read moretwo-night stay, and from pre-op testing all the way through discharge, the care I received was exceptional. Every single person I encountered--and I truly mean everyone--was professional, compassionate, and had an incredible bedside manner. They made what could have been a very scary and overwhelming experience feel calm, supported, and much less anxiety-inducing. I genuinely believe my smooth recovery so far is a direct reflection of how well I was cared for during my stay. This wasn't my first experience here either--I had a same-day procedure about five years ago, and I remember receiving that same high level of care back then as well. The hospital itself is very clean, and I really appreciated having a private room. Another huge plus was that my husband was able to stay with me the entire time. He had a sofa bed, and they even provided pillows, linens, and a blanket for him, which made a big difference for both of us. As a healthcare worker myself, I tend to notice the details--and I can confidently say I was thoroughly impressed. This hospital and its staff truly go above and beyond.

I am writing to formally express my deep dissatisfaction and concern regarding the care I received…read moreduring my recent labor, delivery, and postpartum stay at your facility. While I selected your hospital based on its reputation and high rankings, my experience fell significantly below acceptable standards and was, at times, distressing and concerning for both my safety and well-being. From the beginning of my induction, there were notable inconsistencies in care. While my initial nurse was attentive and supportive, the quality of care quickly declined during subsequent shifts. After progressing to 5 cm dilation, I remained there for several hours without appropriate reassessment. I was informed that I would be checked again around 8:30 PM; however, this did not occur, and I went approximately 12 hours without a cervical check, despite repeatedly expressing concerns that my labor had progressed. During this time, my epidural experience was particularly troubling. A student anesthesiologist attempted the procedure multiple times without clearly identifying himself as a student, which resulted in delays and unnecessary discomfort. After initial placement, the epidural proved ineffective on one side, causing severe pain. Rather than promptly addressing the issue, I was given temporary medication that wore off quickly, leaving me in prolonged and significant pain. My concerns were not adequately addressed, and I felt dismissed despite visibly being in distress. Throughout the night, I repeatedly requested assistance and reassessment due to increasing pain and pressure, yet I was told there was nothing more that could be done. I felt neglected and unsupported during a critical time in my labor. It was only after a shift change the following morning that my condition was properly reassessed, at which point I was found to be fully dilated and ready to deliver. This raises serious concerns about the lack of timely monitoring and responsiveness during my care. While I am grateful that my delivery itself went smoothly once properly attended to, the postpartum experience introduced additional concerns. The room I was placed in was visibly unclean, with unsanitary conditions including blood on the toilet seat, unstocked supplies, overflowing biohazard waste, and dirty equipment. These conditions posed a clear infection risk and were unacceptable for any patient, especially a new mother and newborn. Additionally, communication and education were severely lacking. No one provided guidance on newborn care or breastfeeding, and I had to repeatedly request basic postpartum supplies. I also encountered issues with medication administration, where I was initially told that necessary medications were not ordered, only to later find that they had been available. This lack of attention to detail and follow-through was alarming. I was also disappointed by the lack of compassion and professionalism demonstrated by several staff members. I often felt like a burden rather than a patient in need of care. At one point, my partner was required to leave the unit unnecessarily to retrieve basic supplies, rather than staff assisting us. The overall bedside manner throughout much of my stay was lacking, and I did not feel supported during one of the most vulnerable times in my life. While I acknowledge that not every staff member contributed to this experience negatively, the overall standard of care I received was inconsistent and, at times, unacceptable. I expected a much higher level of attentiveness, communication, and professionalism from a hospital of your standing.

I developed the ultimate respect when they took the stance to help my mother with long-term dementia...BCBS wanted her transferred to a county health center known as a dumping ground. They "held her hostage" for a week until Blue Cross approved an appropriate, incredible care program which ultimately placed her in a facility she LOVED and where she thrived for 8 1/2yrs. A lot has changed since then. I was asked by my out-of-state son a few weeks ago to take a phone charger to his father who had been admitted the day earlier into ER. I thought it would be an easy trip, even with my permanent concussion leaving me "weak" in formerly strong mental abilities. I drove in and immediately got lost. I saw tall buildings, a parking garage, winding drives. The ER was no longer a recognizable building with a parking lot. It had its own drive with four valets stationed. I panicked; I didn't know what to do. One of the valets came up to me, I explained my brewing meltdown re where to park. He calmly spoke to me and offered for me to pull a bit down the drive, park there by the door, and he would watch my car while I went inside. ER certainly had grown, was packed, but staff was calming and made sure I had help to where I needed to be. This was not going to be easy as my son's dad is my ex and I know his temperament. He was in his room, glad I had the cord, mad that I didn't have the charger portion which he had not said he needed.... hospitals often have extras of those. He was not pleasant, but the nurses were incredible. As I stepped outside his room, they approached me, one with a hug to calm my nerves. One, later told me her name Dylan M, said she was going to have Rachel H help find the piece he needed. It took a while to find one...I was so glad they did because he was not pleasant with anyone having to go in or out of his room to tend to his needs. Sorry to be so wordy, but I had asked their names and their supervisors' names because I wanted to make sure I wrote this review. The supervisors are Erics Avellan (mgr) and Jordan King (asst mgr). I had Dylan write the four names on a piece of paper for me. CB, my nickname for my "other half" Concussion Brain, must have misplaced the piece of paper when I got home. I couldn't find it anywhere! About 15min ago I opened my Bible and turned to the next set of verses I was to read. Yes, God made sure these angels would get their due review. God, bless these women, the job they do and the staff they work with to help their patients. The heartfelt way is still at this hospital....it may have grown, its name may have changed, but I have the same love and respect for the heart they put into their jobs!

The doctor and nurse were very intentional about maintaining a sterile environment and gave me supplies to ensure I was safe as well. Throughout multiple trays, ultrasounds and invasive procedures, they allowed me to ask as many questions as I wanted to assure we understood the treatment plan. Of course I didn't eat the meals, but they looked like they care about presenting meals that look nutritious and appetizing and my family member who was receiving care reported they enjoyed every meal. I liked how they included salt free seasoning blends in case you needed more flavor. Another very key component i loved was every time the call button was pressed, someone was there within 2 minutes. Attentive in every way. The only complaint was that 2 days in a row, no lunch was provided for the patient. Only breakfast and dinner (which was served at 4:30pm).

Everything went smoothly from check in, pre op, surgery and post op. I spent the night and received excellent care from a very well staffed and professional nursing team. I provided a very positive review on their web site. My second visit was scheduled late morning at 10:30 arrival. I will never accept a late morning surgery appointment again. First every parking spot was full. A five level garage provided not one open space. Eventually I found a car leaving in front of the women's care entrance. This was at the other end of the hospital from where I was told to enter near the south garage. I had no idea how to get back to the surgery check in. I entered the women's entrance and told the security guard I needed to get back to the south garage entrance. He radioed a man in a golf cart to meet me at the entrance and take me back to the surgery area. I told him the hospital website said there was valet parking near the children's emergency area. He said that was no longer being offered. My surgery lasted longer than the doctor told us and by the time I arrived in recovery and then post op I was the only patient in post op area. The nurses were all leaving and saying good night to other nurses. My nurse was the only one there. The motion lighting in the other tented rooms were turning off. As I was getting dressed to leave the nurse told my wife to bring the car to a different door to pick me up for the drive home. As I had dropped her off at the surgery entrance at 10:30, seven and a half hours earlier, she had no idea where our car was except my description of it parked across from the women's entrance. The nurse was so pleasant and helpful she offered my wife a wheelchair and took her to the security desk to call for the golf cart courtesy driver. Unfortunately, both the nurse and my wife learned that service goes home at 4:00. It's now 6:30. So now the only nurse in post op pushed my wife in a wheelchair the entire length of the hospital to the women's section to get our car. I sat by myself in a chair with now one light on waiting for the nurse to return. There are 6 handicapped parking spaces outside the surgery entrance. And perhaps 10 non handicapped spaces. Arriving late morning you will not find a parking spot. There are no reserved for surgery parking spots. As patients are released the assigned nurses go home and the area pretty much shuts down for the night. Very poor arrangement. The staff readily acknowledges that parking is horrible but apparently that's where it ends. The Doctors have a reserved parking area. The patients including surgeries are left to fend for yourself self. My future hospital needs will be at Tampa General or St Joe South.
