Jenny Mello The Doctor and PA are good. but the office never answers the phone and does not do paper work to process referrals

Mckee Mckee Had to visit ER today, cant say enough good things about Dr Chisholm. Extremely attentive came in multiple times to talk with me. The nurse was great as well. I had to have chest Xrays and Xrays of the ribs. Thank you Raulerson for such great care.

Sandra Smart I had an excellent experience at Raulerson ER. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted warmly by the charge nurse, who was kind and professional, immediately putting me at ease. Shortly after, the doctor came in and provided exceptional care. The staff’s attentiveness and efficiency made a potentially stressful situation feel much more manageable. I truly appreciated the compassionate and thorough care I received. Highly recommend this ER for anyone in need of medical attention!”

Katie Castillo Terrible service fed up with it….

Shakira and Antonyo Woods I know I will fall short with my words when I explain the stellar care that I received. I was in the ICU Overflow room #4 with a rotation of wonderful nurses. I came in and got not so great news and was set to be operated but my team of nurses advocated for me and helped me physically and mentally overcome the temporary slip of my health. I had a stay of almost 2 weeks and want to quickly shout out the staff that made my stay so welcoming. * Magdala, Loretta,Junide, Sarah, Carol, Luis, Sharmaine and Christine * Last but not least the surgical team Dr. Subramanian and Dr. Astephan who delivered the fantastic news that my surgery would be done and did an amazing job. It was almost sad to leave even though I was ready. Bitter sweet, but it’s their job to get me ready to go back home to my family.

Keil Tiernan I was cared for in the ER last week after breaking up a dog fight. The nurses and staff were great and treated my wounds with priority and expedited care. Thank you so much! I am so happy that we have a top notch hospital in Fort Pierce with amazing nurses, doctors and support staff!

Sharon Barulli My neighbor had just come out of the hospital. Dr. Arains staff was rude to her and DEMANDED her to go in for a procedure, - AFTER her primary physician advised her NOT to have the procedure. She HAD to go in IMMEDIATELY to sign papers.

debra shellabarger Always kind and professional.

Erica Martinez Dr. Hussain is a wonderful Dr. Very professional, patient, and takes her time to hear what your concerns are about your child. She has truly been an amazing Dr and I have trust in her with my 2 children. The office staff is just as caring and loving as she is. Thank you so much for everything you do Dr. Hussain and her staff.

Victoria Williams I went to her as a child and now having 4 children I am still amazed at how great she is! I love the staff there, they are always so fast to help and are very caring. We never wait long and she gets right to the point. She is a great dr!

Marion Drayton I made a appointment to see Dr. White. The following day, I arrived and saw him at his office. We sat together and exalted my concerns and he immediately came up with a plan of care. I really appreciate his professionalism about being a patient advocate

Jessica Vega I saw Dr. White yesterday for some test results which he explained to me in detail and put my mind at ease. Everyone at this office is very cordial and not in a hurry to get you out the door. Thanks

Beth S. I have been here a few times, mainly for chest x-rays. This place is always clean and the staff is quick and efficient. My doctor gets the results very quick. The ladies have been sweet and caring as well. I like that there isnt to much of a wait time and they pre-register everything over the phone before your appt.

Laura Registration was fast and the x-rays were quick and efficient. Staff is amazing!!

Sylvia Rubie-Henry I Love my endocrinologist, hes patient, kind respectful, and very professional, I just received notice that hes leaving and I am not happy but life goes on I wish him a world of success wherever hes going to but am going to truly miss him.

Alicia O I have ha 3 different residents in the last year. My Primary Doctor left, he was great. He is still on their website with a video, Doctor Hamal Patel left over a year ago. I have not had a REAL DOCTOR since he left. This practice is a joke. No one knows the patient because they keep changing. I was told if I don’t like the way they practice, I can find someone else, I DID! I will never return to this revolving door

Diane Johns Long story short, you saved my husbands life. Everyone was remarkable!! Kindness was shown at every level. He came in with back pain and left with a stint in his heart. We are forever grateful to your staff!! Will recommend Lawnwood hospital to everyone. Thank you!!

Gracie Girl Had to go to the ER for terrible back pain. Just wanna say the ER Dept at Lawnwood is a well oiled machine. They check you in quick. Everyone is in sync and so super friendly. I don’t know why people give Lawnwood such a bad rap. That definitely wasn’t my experience at all! I’ve been to other ER’s over the years and have never been treated with such kindness and compassion. If I ever have another issue, I will definitely go back to Lawnwood.

Callie Coughran Not even worth one star. I went in with a bad cough that I had almost for two months. The doctor said that I had a severe sinus infection and sent me home with two RX scripts, which did absolutely nothing for me. It was like the doctor couldn’t get me out of clinic soon enough. A week later I went to a different urgent care with my symptoms much worse. Dr rushed me in, ordered X-rays, and diagnosed me with bilateral pneumonia (double pneumonia) and said that I am a very sick woman. He said that the other urgent care doctor diagnosed me wrong and that I came to see him just in time. He said that the first urgent care doctor should have known better. I’m still sick but getting better thanks to a knowledgeable and care Dr.

JoaniMae comer I visited then Okeechobee Urgent care this afternoon. I am disgusted by the care of ARNP John Rhodes. He was yelling at staff. He did not listen to me as the patient. He didn’t check my heart or chest to listen to me breathing which I am asthmatic. He did nothing but say I’m am the 40 something patient and try to give me a speech about bacteria. It’s been nine days and things are not getting any better. I have asthma. I have sinus problems that I’ve had surgery for I truly just wanted steroids. He couldnt give me a moment to talk. He stormed out of the room saying just give her augmentin then… He never looked at my chart to see that I am allergic to the penicillin family. If it was not for his amazing nurse, I could’ve died by not knowing the medicine if I was not smart enough to look it up . Then ask the nurse if I could have a steroid because I just needed the swelling to reduce. The nurse looks so stressed by the constant yelling and snapping but was amazing and an advocate for the patients.

Gretell Kamanel This center has excellent doctors , but extremely bad doctor too. There is a department called patient experience, when you suppose to call for help or send an email. No one help you , they answer the phone 1 time and then, never again. You send and email, they supposed to answer in 3 business day. Never happens. It is incredible how the excellence does not exist in this center. ( my opinion)

Ana Inkd Dr Adam Sienkiewicz was my doctor for my emergency room visit. We’re all human, but this man had zero care, empathy, or proper bedside manner whatsoever. Called security on my parents for wanting to stay with me and understand what was going on. A nurse put his hands on my mother for wanting to stay. I went in for an IV and got sent on a 3 day hold simply for being intoxicated ( with a history of depression but I explained that I have a team I work with ) I’d recommend just leaving if you get this doctor or he’ll try and run up your insurance as much as he can or treat you like a criminal for some reason.

Stephanie Roman This place is a joke. I clicked “I have arrived” for my 8am appointment. Never got a text to go inside (even waiting 10min after my time). After check in, I’m told to go to station 2. NOBODY is at station 2 and have 4 people waiting. 30min after my scheduled time I’m still waiting to be called and see the doctor dancing around in the back with food in his mouth. Ridiculous. Maybe if everybody in that building was more concerned about patients than gossiping like school children, they would be able to provide much better service.

Tim Gray I would give it a zero if possible. Sent a text to stay in the vehicle for Wife’s appointment and would send one to come in. We never received a text, went inside at 8:00am and the staff didn’t know why we didn’t just come in. Arrived at 7:45am for an 8:00am appointment. Staff rude and inattentive. Left facility at 8:30am without being seen by doctor after not being called back for an 8:00am. The place opens at 8. Why is there a wait with first appointment? And the doctor is spotted multiple times just eating, walking around, and joking. No respect for patients’ health or time. Amazing when doctors offices want to charge fees for late or missed appointments, not let you see the doctor if you are late, but we revolve around their time. Don’t practice medicine if your heart isn’t in it for the right reason.

B J For all the grumps that cant seem to find anything good to say about anyone,,...I have got a challenge for you The next time you get a hankering for some down old good Doctoring, stop by 1201 Parrott for a little PA, which stands for pretty awesome.Never seen anyone quiet like her. She is a real jewel. Does she know her stuff? Does she ever.

Pete Bouchard Used to be able to call out there and get your labs done now you cant even reach the VA clinic in Okeechobee and Route your way back to West Palm Beach I mean whats the point even having them out of here

Willnesha Williams On March 3, 2025, I brought my stepfather (a past stroke patient) to Lakeside Medical Center upon the discovery that he could not lift his right side like he previously were able to the days prior. He was unable to walk, urinating on himself and cognitively disoriented. After doing vitals they discovered his bp was a little elevated , his heart rate was fast so he was admitted and told me they were doing a ekg & mri which they later said was clear. Its unfortunate , that they never did an neurological  assessment on him despite what he was brought in for and his past history of strokes. He was discharged the next day with a urine bag with nothing to be attached to keep it from unsanitary areas verses one  to his leg, still unable to lift his right side, still cognitively disoriented. Spoke to the doctor, Brandi the floor manager today March 5 about his status since being discharge  they claimed that he refused a leg bag. I was never told this information when I am his direct contact and have a POA . I was only called to say he was ready because he is being discharged. They also then offered home health care for him at home. I was told they did see the weakness to that side. Once I advocated to let them know that’s a sign that something is going on since he was able to function to his norm days prior, I was then told to bring him back in and they will send him to another hospital where a neurologist can evaluate him. To me that is neglect of proper treatment and care when he could’ve been sent out instead of being discharged on March 4, 2025

Carolyn Mckenzie The worst hospital in western Florida. Not enough staff no medical equipment needed to help patients. Patients have to be sent to other hospitals some dont even get to go to another hospital they are sent home to die. One occasion my sister was sick they didnt refer her to another hospital they just hooked her up to IV for a hour or two and sent her home. She called me crying saying they didnt give me nothing to help me. I told her to go somewhere else she did but the doctors said she should of came sooner all times of going to lakeside they didnt even try to suggest that she go to another hospital. To get the proper treatment she needed. She gone now. My brother is facing the same treatment but we are going to make sure he get somewhere else before its to late. Someone need to shut that monstrosity of hospital down or get real professional nurses and doctors on staff and get the right equipment to handle the patient and better Food. Its bad when you call for a nurse and it takes them two hours before they come to your room by that time you experiencing a real emergency in your body all you get is the nurse is coming and no one show up for two to three hours, that is displorable. Think twice before taking your love one there.cbcm

Tatiana Yaques Cleveland Clinic has gone down the drain. They won’t release my medical records. I can’t talk to anyone in any of my provider’s offices. They don’t have appointments for months even for critical or time sensitive issues. Doctors leave and they don’t tell you and then you’re stuck with whoever takes over. Many of their doctors are not personable and don’t care at all about their patients. Run far away from Cleveland Clinic. They are not what they used to be.

Amy Baker As far as appointment scheduling and customer service does, I would give zero stars if I could. Appointment scheduling is cumbersome and it doesn’t seem as though the person on the other end of the phone can go off script. It’s impossible to get a timely appointment. They have now gotten rid of the front desk and you have to check in via kiosk. There is always a glitch with the Kiosk and then the single person sitting there is annoyed that she has to physically assist a patient. The only saving grace to this place (now that any shred of personal service is gone) is my doctor: Dr Mason. She is phenomenal. The moment she leaves however…
