HCA Florida Gulf Coast Hospital

"Please don't go to this hospital, they will make you wait for unreasonable hours, not care about your symptoms and send you away. In this case, I called the nurse ahead of time to verify a ct scan. Then i was told a CT scan couldn't be done. When I arrived they told me I was not allowed to leave?"

"I gave birth at this hospital and it was a nightmare. They let some relatives in the delivery room while I was still giving birth, the nurses lied to a dcf officer because I wanted to go home due to being neglected and even as far as force fed my baby formula during his first day because they wanted a pee test from him. Truly disgusted with this place."

"Delivered my second baby via c-section here recently, I cannot say enough positive things about the L&D and mother/baby nurses! I hate that I can’t remember the names of the L&D nurses that went back into the OR with us and stayed with us immediately post-op, but they were so calming and supportive. My postpartum nurses, specifically Brittany and Sasha (I believe this was her name, memory is blurry!) were so kind, helpful, and hard working during our whole stay. We are so thankful for everyone who helped us during an especially hard time!"

"I had total knee replacement surgery on Monday and I stayed overnight for pain control. The pm nurse wouldn't give me hardly any pain medication. She kept giving me Tylenol. I already take 4 strong pain medication on an daily basis due to scoliosis and osteo necrosis. They made me suffer because they only gave me half of the strength medication. My surgeon had allowed me to get strong medication and they chose not to get my pain under control. They didn't even hook up the blood circulation things to help prevent blood clots. I would Not recommend this hospital to anyone. This has been the worst experiencee I've ever been through. I never went to sleep because of the excruciating pain. My knee surgeon didn't even prescribed me any pain medication for home. This was beyond wrong and very unprofessional!!!"

"I am currently in the hospital and wanted to say what a wonderful experience the staff has done with my care . Jamie my nurse today was so kind in caring for me grabbing me extra pillows to be comfortable and being very patient and kind when I am nervous about my surgery tomorrow. My care team nurse Sandra came to check on me and ask me about my stay . My technician who did my MRI was so sweet and explained the procedure to me . This hospital needs to be commended for hiring and instilling a caring attitude in their employees. It makes all the difference in the world to have someone truly care when you are not feeling well . I recommend this facility to anyone who wants quality care and a professional staff ."
