The Best 18 MEDICAL SERVICES near Melbourne, FL (Part 2)

Beth Ald Walked into the ER yesterday and although the nurses and the doctor(for the 50 seconds seen) were all very kind, there were some issues. The only question about medications asked to me was "are you on blood thinners?" I was then prescribed a medication that does have adverse reactions to other medications I take. Good thing I check. The absolute worst thing is the state of the ER bathroom! Unacceptable! Blood on the floor, wall and sink! Wasnt cleaned for 3 hours (I was there for 6). oh and the release instructions said they went over things that were never mentioned Have to add- I know it is an emergency room but am I supposed to pretend I didnt hear the medical history of the person in the same bay as I am? I got so much info I could answer questions for that patient

Kare JC Steward hospital is the worst, they are always short staff, pray you don’t die there as intelligence is limited there. The ethics of this company is garbage! They don’t pay their bill, are filing for bankruptcy at this current time, and likely money laundering. Stay away!!! Unless you have a death wish than go. They no longer are doing lawn care and city should site them for being out of code. Disgusting and a shameful place to call a hospital. People of Sebastian deserve a better company to care for those in need of good health care.

Corey Gamage Avoid at all costs. This business says services are included under your plan but bill you like they arent. Unethical in my opinion.

Williams Phoenix Very friendly and helpful when calling to make an appointment.

Taylor Colvard I had a seizure with my son in the car and flipped into a ditch long story short. I had another seizure a while in there and they took amazing care of me and then when I ran out of my medication and had to go back Doctor who was there the first time when we were there again to get more seizure medication and they were so quick to help me get more I am forever greatful that the ambulance took me to this hospital and not Holmes considering I was treated with nothing but dignity and respect during my whole time there and anytime I’ve been to Homes regional I’ve been treated like I was an alien and on top of that homes regional as a reason my mom is not alive anymore so I recommend 100 out of 10, thank y’all again for everything.

Linda King Nurses were great!! 1st dr not so great 2nd dr I saw was a peach! Unfortunately the er room I was in was not clean, trash on the floor, potato chips on the floor just plain dirty.

Dawn Lara These people were amazing!!! Ive had AFib at least 9 times in two different states, 4 hospitals. This was, BY FAR, the best experience Ive had in a hospital. I checked into the ER at 730a and was out by 11 am, with defibrillation! Usually, it takes 4 days. They had me laughing and cutting up the whole time. Shout out to MENurses-Matt (intake), Ryan, Erick, Taylor, and the X-ray guy with the A+, #1 curtsy! Thanks for fixing me up; even if I didnt get superpowers on my 8th defibrillaton! And Orlando Health, please reward this team with some new equipment. Added picture of the "Emergency 51" defibrillator; which still works great, BTW!

My Universe Had a recent Colonoscopy with Dr. Ruiz. Nursing staff were very friendly. Gave me a heated blanket which was nice. Anesthesiologist and his assistant were thorough in explaining what to expect. The assistant even held my hand as she put me to sleep to assure me everything will be alright. When I woke up I did not feel groggy or sore. After a week, they called me and explained about the result and a clean bill of health. Next appointment in 10 yrs! The endoscopy area was also quiet and clean.

Lorri Vetrano I wasn’t sure what I was going to do after my primary physician went to another practice, however I am very glad that I stayed to see the new doctor, Dr. Rankin. She is very thorough, warm & compassionate. She takes her patients seriously & explains everything in a manner I am able to understand. Dr. Rankin has also been one of my biggest cheerleaders. Sheena is also great & always follows up promptly when responding to questions & providing test results. We have also seen Lori who is a great Nurse Practitioner. Lori is also very caring & warm and always takes great care of us! Thank you to you all!

Lea Ann Lewis I’ve never been treated better by the entire staff, some of them I never even knew. Dr. Rankin is the most personable and thorough doctor I may have ever been to. Her staff are the same way. It’s a long drive for me, but my care and health is well worth it. I highly recommend the facilities and Dr. Rankin and her staff know how to respect and carefully listen to the patient. They are a real breath of fresh air in the medical field!

Marisol Delgado Went to the ER on 2/1/2025, Doctor Juan was a great caring doctor that made sure I was comfortable, my nurse Joshua was perfect!! made the wait for my results a comfortable wait. The whole staff was a blessing. Thank You for making my ER trip easier on me.

Sarah Leverett We went to this hospital multiple times because my husband has had chest pains and his arm going numb and they have refused to tell us anything or do any real help for him. He’s young he’s not an old man so you think they’d be taking this seriously but they blow us off and don’t even try to get him any sort of help. They just “refer” him somewhere else and those places tell us he needs to be in the hospital. They don’t care about you or your family. I wouldn’t waist my time here.

RKEGV Goody Every time I bring my kids here, the staff is so friendly, genuine and empathetic. The office is clean and they are efficient. I feel that the providers are also here because they genuinely care about their patients. Some urgent cares seem to rush patients out, which I do understand that with urgent care they have a revolving door so-to-speak. But here you can tell that they want to make sure the patient/ parent of has been heard and their feelings and concerns are validated. I work in the medical world as an MA, Ive worked in specialty and Internal Medicine. And I have to say from a professional and personal standpoint, I recommend Dairy Road Urgent Care for all your acute (not chronic) needs.

Mayra Ramos My son began experiencing ear pain on Saturday night. I called on Sunday to inquire if we could come in as a walk-in. The receptionist explained that they close at 5 p.m. but prefer patients to arrive by 4 p.m., which makes perfect sense to ensure they have enough time to see everyone. She was extremely professional, caring, and polite. The nurse practitioner was thorough and knowledgeable. This was our first visit, but it certainly wont be our last. While it’s tempting to keep such great finds to yourself, I believe its important to share when healthcare professionals provide care with such professionalism and compassion. Thank you!

Ameika Smithers I would most definitely NOT recommend Dr. Arun Abraham. We did not have an altercation of any sort but he did convey very clearly that he could care less. It was overly obvious. He should not be working with the community.

Brit Azul Doesn’t care about your health or pregnant woman health sent me away and was trying to “schedule me for the next day” due to closing in 10 mins I told them I have a uti and the provider said she wont see anyone else … The worst and disgusting

Cynthia Quick I experienced helpful and knowledgeable service from all of the workers. My doctor gave me truthful and straight information about my panel of blood tests I took. Thank you for caring and listening to your patience.

Felicia Renee Amazing facility. The doctors and staff are so kind and made my nervousness fade right when I started the check in process. I am so grateful to have chosen this facility as my forever doctor.

Greg This review is for the pharmacy. If I could give 0 stars I would. My dr cake in an anti-inflammatory and it took n this pharmacy over 2 business days to do it. The excuse, "were backed up. What do you expect is the end of the week". Worst service on every level! The clinic and the dr office are great. The pharmacy is terrible!

Christina Harrington My husband and I have been seeing our primary at Brevard health alliance since 2018. Staff is always friendly, front desk is always courteous, nurses and doctors have always helped us. We have nothing bad to say about the Babcock location. It is very convenient. Especially now that they have added a walk up clinic. Monica Nelson is amazing and so is Raquel that is in the walk-up clinic. We really appreciate everyone at Brevard health alliance at the Babcock location.

Drew F This place was ok a few years ago but it’s really gone downhill. It feels short staffed. Patient needs help using the bathroom and it takes over an hour to get assistance. Nurses can’t get responses from providers in a timely fashion. No one seems to know what’s going on. Patient is a Health First employee to boot. If you can’t take care of your own family, what are you even doing?

Patricia King-Weatherman Employees were very friendly and nice. The waiting room is always the most awkward especially when there are people in there that are very, very loud and playing their cell phones on audible so as to this other patients sitting in the office.

Kailyn Kyle Booked an appointment with the obgyn office and was told at the time of the appointment that I couldn’t be seen because I needed another appointment that I was not informed about. Incredibly ridiculous that a doctor’s office wouldn’t take the time to schedule a patient correctly or inform them of important information regarding their appointment in a timely manner. I was brushed off by the staff and it made me feel that my healthcare is unimportant to them.

Alice Absolutely do NOT use health first as your provider and especially at this location. Terrible billing procedures and they will absolutely do everything in their power to screw you over financially with no empathy to chronic illness or diagnosis. No accountability or transparency and what you are quoted will not be what you’re billed.

Kimberly Sibole My mother had to be placed after surgery for iv antibiotics and a wound vac. This place was exceptional, the ENTIRE team do rounds on a weekly, the Drs do rounds daily and the care was the best. After spending 3 months in a skilled nursing facility and almost died it was a comfort having my mother at Kindred. Thank you for taking good care of my mother for the 3 weeks she was their.

Jennifer Vernon My mom was a patient here for the treatment of respiratory failure. The pulmonary team was amazing and did the best they could to wean her oxygen. Unfortunately, despite the best care she was not able to recover. I am thankful that kindred gave her the best chance to pull through. Every department worked together to treat her. They truly treated her like family. Thank you Kindred team.

Oliver Olinger Good, thorough doctors. Easy to get same day appointments, if necessary. Clean environment. Only issue I have is that weve had quite a few long wait times after being escorted to our exam room... but thats probably due to the thoroughness of the exams. Which is understandable, but still a difficulty for people with very busy schedules.

Genna Lee We took my son Ryder to see Dr. Hardison and we did enjoy her as a physician. You can tell that she’s very knowledgeable and good at what she does. However, our last two experiences have been not so ideal, as to why we will not be returning. All of our children’s vaccinations have been administered by registered nurses or physicians. My husband asked the doctor if there was a nurse that would be providing the vaccinations. She said there was no nursing staff and that the medical assistant administers the vaccinations. He was very uncomfortable with this, but allowed it with the confidence from the physician. The vaccinations were given way too high on his leg NOT in his muscle. This is why I prefer nurses.. it’s a scary thought that this was done incorrectly. We brought Ryder back in for a sick visit on the weekend. He was miserably sick for nearly 2 weeks and recently started developing a fever. Nothing we were doing was working for him. My husband took him to see a nurse practitioner who dismissed our idea of giving him an antibiotic and instead sent him away with a diagnosis of chronic asthma. My son has never been diagnosed with asthma. I have been a registered nurse for nearly 10 years and have been battling sickness on and off with my son since he’s been born. I know what he needs and I’m very upset that our recommendations were dismissed so abruptly. When I called the office to speak with the nurse practitioner, a registered nurse spoke to me, telling me why they dismissed the idea of giving him antibiotics. I thought there were no registered nurses at this office? I am very upset with the lack of concern and treatment for my son , this office staff is very disorganized and in my opinion doesn’t understand basic care. We winded up going to another physician later that day and immediately when they assessed him, they told me that he will need antibiotics. 24 hours after antibiotics, my son is almost 100% better. I don’t understand why that was so hard?

Kristy When I called to make an appointment they answered right away and the woman that answered was very nice. She took my concerns seriously and made sure that I got into see someone in a timely manner. When I went in there was a scheduling conflict, but they worked that out and made sure that I could be seen that day. They went through all of the paperwork with me and it was quick and easy. My appointment was great. They don’t rush you in and out, they actually take the time to make sure that everything is done properly. You can tell that they genuinely care about you and your well-being. The staff, the nurses and the Doctor were all amazing. Thankyou for treating me so well and making sure I was taken care of. I will be returning consistently for future appointments and it’s good to know they care.

Rainey Nisha (CECEILIA) They took good care of me and my unborn baby . Now he is a big healthy baby. Ceceilia Strain

James K I had a great experience during my surgery and stay here. All staff are professional, experienced, friendly. Dr. Zhuge and his surgical team were great. When I woke up from anesthesia, nurse Lesley Fritz sped up my recovery with her professional, competent, and friendly work ethic.

Sandra Beach Space Coasts best hospital and staff! Plus, epic views from hospital rooms of the gorgeous Banana Lagoon. I love seeing dolphins on their morning routines! ICU took great care of my sister, the only thing Id change is how quickly she was released to Kindred Hospital; On top of the fact my sister did not get the treatment she needed while at Kindred, actually the exact opposite -she even coded!!! Thank God she is no longer at Kindred and back at a real hospital.

Rebecca Karp I want to thank everyone at HF Viera starting with registration Lady when we first walked into the ER. I brought my sister in because she was very sick and she has stage 4 lung cancer. The lady in registration was so sweet and the triage nurse was very kind as well. This was on 1/27/25 at 2:30 in the afternoon. We had to wait a bit to go back because they were so busy. When we got back there unfortunately we were in the hallway but the staff was amazing Dr Montgomery, was quick to see my sister and start ordering test. Natalie her nurse was so busy but also so attentive, so sweet and she was working her butt off! The guy who used the ultrasound machine to get IV started was amazing unfortunately I don’t remember his name but he was very nice too. Once we found out her diagnosis she was admitted we then got a room in the ER until a bed came available. Her new nurse Christina I believe her name was, also amazing. Then the next afternoon she was moved to PCU her nurse Jen also great! Transport guy my very kind and caring too. All I can say is the care my sister received was amazing even though they were so busy! All the doctors were very helpful and kept me informed of her condition. Keep up the great work and thank you for being so kind and caring to my sister and us!

Summer Whatley Only giving two stars because my past experiences with doctors and nurses have been great. However, tonight there was only a few people in the ER. The triage nurse Rose was very rude and didn’t seem to take my symptoms seriously. I felt so sick I ended up falling asleep on one of the chairs in an empty waiting room. She then told me she needed to take my vitals again (id been waiting in an empty waiting room for hours now) then wait for someone to be sent up upstairs before I can get a bed. I don’t mind waiting for more serious cases before me. But to be waiting in an empty waiting room when there is nobody else while I am sick is ridiculous. This has never happened before. Care here has always been prompt, urgent, and compassionate. What I experienced was the opposite of that. She judged me, asked me the same questions, and didn’t care about my comfort. We ended up leaving before she could take me back because I was so fed up. I have had nothing but good experiences here so this was extremely disappointing. I don’t plan to come back after my experience with Rose. I will choose another hospital from now on.

Tina Van Dine The lack of communication, being lied to and the incompetency is why I will never come back to this clinic. I spoke with a nurse who said they could see me after I got off work, knowing what time I got off work. I was here eleven minutes later and all of the nurses had already left. After I have been trying to reach them for 4 days just to be told someone will call me back which never happened. When I showed up for my appointment, I was told to come back in the morning and try again.

Wolf Girl I called last week for an appointment due to an issue, they said a nurse would call me back, to see if an appointment is nessasry.. Friday comes and still no one calls. I call again and they say someone will call u today or Monday, not a single peep...i called agian....same run around of a nurse will call you. its now Friday again and not a single word from them or a nurse... how is it that ur patient feels so undervalued to you that you dont call them back, maybe a period for over a month and a half isnt that serious? But atleast ease my mind!! Smh... I guess Ill take my services somewhere else... and if it is something serious, I will be calling the medical board and filing a complaint...
