Gary Kehoe Arrived with a kidney stone. No waiting. Assigned to a fantastic nurse whose name I wish I could remember. She was wonderful. Dr. Jimenez was great also. Comparably, I waited11 hours to be seen by staff at a Canadian hospital for the same issue.
Couldnt be happier with my visit!

Lady Bug If I could give this a zero rating I would have!!
This is the absolute worst experience of my life in this hospital! I went in to the ER several times and was treated so poorly it was horrible they treated me like I was just there looking for pain medicine and I was not at all-I was desperately needing help!
Unfortunately I ended up having surgery there (twice in a months timeframe) which I was told was supposed to be fairly routine... and they butchered me completely!
And the nursing staff their leaves more than what I can describe to be desired, most of them are mean, showing no compassion or empathy for what a patient is feeling or going through physically, they would walk away and leave the room while you were still talking to them or trying to, they would not help advocate information to the doctors for the patients, and a lot of them would even complain about their job- complain about having too many patients so they couldnt care for any of us, one nurse even lost my pain meds in the hallway on the way to my room and when she finally found them she came back and said "good thing I found them because I would have been in big trouble" - she had no concern for the fact that what if someone else found the medicine and perhaps it could have been a child visiting a patient they could have thought it was candy and ate it which could have cost them their life she had no concern of that part at all only that she might get in trouble! Also, they wouldnt even answer the "rapid response Bell" when you would ring it sometimes taken up to 20 minutes just to find out why you even rang the bell, when they finally would come in the room I remember saying to one of them "you know someone could die in that amount of time- I believe it is called rapid response for a reason" (they lacked on both words rapid and response!). (The only good news I had while I was there was Velva).
I also dont know how this hospital has the rating of the "cleanest hospital" because it was absolutely not!. I found garbage left all under the reclining chair beverage bottles, candy, etc...they (housekeeping) did not move things when they came in to clean they just did a quick damp mop up and actually the floor was dirtier when they left then when they got in there.
I would never recommend anyone I love to come to this hospital at all and I would not even recommend this hospital to someone I didnt love!!
Even the food was horrible, I mean absolutely horrible!
Please do yourself a favor and avoid coming here at all costs, it is definitely worth the trip to go to fort Pierce- Lawnwood hospital!!
