Tampa General Hospital

"If I can help it I will never go to another hospital other then Tampa General. Everyone is so helpful there. These people really care about getting u better. I got out and wanted to go back. They take the best care of you. Keep doing what your doing it was a great experience!"

"Overall, I think this hospital isn't great, or even good. I wouldn't go here if I had a choice. Unfortunately, my surgeon works out of this facility, so I'm stuck here. The ER has nightmare reviews, but aside from that I've been here several times and it’s just not a clean or welcoming place. The staff is extremely unprofessional. There are constantly personal conversations going on in the halls and even at their desk, which includes a lot of profanity. There is always a lot of construction and make-shift waiting areas, it’s hard to sort out where to go, it’s very crowed and messy. They also allow so many people/family members into waiting areas which doesn't help with the overcrowding. I'm not sure why your entire extended family needs to escort you to your procedure, why the hospital allows it? It’s also probably why there is absolutely no parking available. You will circle the parking garage over and over just to see people sitting in their car waiting. It’s terribly unorganized. The only thing this hospital has going for them is the wonderful pre-op nurses. I can't shout their praises enough; I've been here for two procedures thus far and they have been wonderful. When going in and coming out of surgery they have been amazing. Kind, comforting, and just amazing. However, if you do get admitted and must stay, be prepared to get treated as if you're a burden. The nursing staff on the floors are not kind. It’s clear they don't like their job and will leave you unattended for hours, meanwhile they are huddled together (hidden away) chatting, but will make you feel as though they are too busy to help you with anything. I hated being there. It felt like my pain was being ignored, they just kept shoving Tylenol at me. When I was discharged, I was missing a very important medication. Just avoid this location, I think there are great doctors in this network/hospital who probably have little control over the issues happening with this hospital."

"Currently in the hospital. The nicest thing about this place are the workers. I've waited almost 3 days for an IBUPROFEN! I get doctors being busy but I don't feel like I'm being cared for at all. Constantly being woken up for no results but explanations from doctors about what "could be." They say they'll get me something for sleep or anxiety? Nothing. Breakfast is served 10am, lunch at 230pm, and dinner at 730pm. That isn't acceptable. I'm in a CUBICLE, not even a room, surrounded by others. No real privacy. No TV. They don't have juice or food in the night. The fluorescent lights on until 230AM. Honestly at this point, I'll just have my mom bring me some from home cause this is crazy having to wait on a doctor who isn't laying in a hospital bed. They ask my pain level at 10am I said a 3. Why are you waiting until my pain is at an 8 to give me something that works for a 3. Now I'm stuck with anxiety and constant headaches/ pain because I gotta wait for the doctor to say "Sure she can have an OTC ibuprofen." Or I keep getting forgotten. Thanks doc for waiting almost 3 days for that. Food is horrible and I can't wait to not be here or go to a hospital that actually provides for their patients. I mean when I arrived to their er, I laid cold and unattended for 2 hours before I had to ask what the heck was going on. I'm not satisfied with "the best hospital" Can't even sleep cause the lights in this place. That light is coming into my room. It isn't my light. Thankfully the nurses, and MRI guys and pcts are great. Some doctors sure but mine currently, we aren't on good terms. Edit: THIS HOSPITAL IS PATHETIC!"

"I just wanna say how great the team is there with labor and delivery. How much patience they had. I went into labor and delivery er for bleeding but then started having blood pressure issues. All the nurses was very nice and understanding. The doctor and the high risk team was great too . Then once I got moved to another floor those nurses was great. My only complaint and it’s not even about the nurses . You get whatever they give you for the food. But then they was out of Milk and they lady tried to push soy milk on you . But besides that I was thankful for the team and for helping keep baby boy in longer"
