Eglin AFB Hospital 340 Boatner Road, Eglin Air Force Base, FL 32542

"Started coming here and seeing dr.riggs he is so kind and thorough which I appreciate. He has been the first doctor to actually help me with my anxiety. And the lady who was with him who was learning was the kindest person and grabbed me tissues and genuinely looked like she felt for me when I started crying during my appointment (I have anxiety I just cry it had nothing to do with them). Doctors I've had in the past have scared me from getting medical treatment and Dr.riggs has put me at ease with everything. I also want to thank the lady who took my blood later that day, I got a little anxious and she talked to me about my hair as she did what she needed to do to try and distract me and when she was finished she was patient with me and allowed me to sit for a minute to calm down a little bit before I left bc I was quite scared getting blood drawn. She even pulled my sleve back down for me over the bandage so it wouldn't catch which is so kind of her. I got an ultrasound of my breast today and the lady who did it was so kind I explained to her in the beginning that I was anxious and I asked her to be patient with me and she was, she made sure I was okay and didn't move too fast that was what I was worried about I need things to be taken slow when I'm at the doctor's. But anyways I see some bad reviews on here which definitely make me worry a little bit especially since I've had some bad experiences in the past with other doctors. I'll be sure to update if anything happens but so far everyone has been so kind to me and it has truly been a healing experience (litterally and metaphorically)"

"I brought my 8 month old son in Sunday 5NOV23 due to a progressing very bad wet cough and mucus build up that had started 2 days prior. I thoroughly explained all of his symptoms and stated he had a fever over the weekend and myself had pneumonia. They ONLY checked his temp, O2 levels and listened to his breathing in his lungs. They ran no test and told me there was nothing to be done. But i knew something was wrong i took him to urgent care today 7NOV23 and he tested positive for RSV with a fever or 102 and has to be placed on 2 medications and the drs even ordered a extensive panel to ensure there isn't anything else additional going on. My baby was very sick when he came in on the 5NOV23 with no improvement and i was very clear and Eglin did nothing! You could've cost my baby way more and I am beyond furious from the continuous lack of care and concern. When i was pregnant with my son Eglin told me they could nothing for me and that it was a waiting game sent me back to work. I ended up in the ER same day on an IV and told I had two viral infections and places on bed rest. Eglin is terrible and will one day cost someone this livelihood. DO BETTER"

"The absolute worst ER I have been to. Went there twice in one day (Which is my fault, should’ve known the first time) for terrible stomach pain. Sent me home the first time with some BS medicine and the second time said the same thing and sent me home with little to no help. Ended up being hospitalized for 2 days at the Fort Walton/Destin Hospital because I had toxins in my stomach that could lead to kidney failure. Please DO NOT go to this ER. You will be way better off somewhere else."

"I had a similar experience to all the other one star reviews here. The civilian employees don't seem to care to help your issues unless maybe its life threatening or something. Some of them are very disrespectful. This morning i tried to make a phone call to make an appointment. They said they are booked and can't make appointments and told me to go to the ER to get seen. I walked in with a physical issue to my knees(not sure what). they did x-rays and said everything looks normal. And i hear the lady in the background talking to her coworkers saying, "It's probably just in his head." talking about me behind my back like i'm stupid. Of course they don't say it to my face. This is very much an issue and affects my job. Also I've been treated for this issue in the past 2 years ago so i know that it's real I just can't remember the name of the diagnosis because it was a big fancy medical term. this isn't the first time I've had an unsatisfactory time here. Their behavior is disrespectful and should be held at a higher standard. I definitely don't recommend going here unless it is your only option. don't waste your time at the ER here."

"I just went to the ER for issues with an ingrown toenail and the doctor came in, talked to me for about 30 seconds and was done. He barely looked at my feet and didn’t prescribe me anything for the pain or infection. I told him I was using cream for an infection and he told me not to use it. Then I said I had symptoms of an infection and he told me to use the cream. So which is it doc? I felt like he wanted to get me in and out as soon as possible. I’ve had other experiences like this too where they don’t even care. Everyone is better off going to a real emergency room with real doctors. These fake doctors don’t know what they’re doing and they don’t care. If you see a doctor Rizzuto as your doctor, just know you will not be examined and he will be out in about a minute."
