Paul LaFiosca Excellent care from an Excellent Dr. and just as Excellent staff. Dr.James Brown has been my primary Dr. for more years than I can recall, 20+years? He, and his staff, are the very best that I’ve ever experienced & I am Old. Dr. Brown is exceptionally smart and easy to talk to, I’ve never been rushed through my appointment and he always, with his fantastic staff, make sure that I am well taken care of. They all, as a team, make sure my scripts are filled, referrals taken care of, etc. Dr.Brown & Staff are the reason I drive over 35 miles each way for my appointments. I wouldn’t be doing that if I had any negative experiences. The BEST Dr. and BEST Staff anywhere, I am surely grateful to cared for by them, 100%!!! ~~~~~ I posted the above a while ago, not sure of the exact date. I just saw Dr.Brown Friday 3/14/2025 and my thoughts are still the same, what I wrote previously is what I would write about my most recent visit to Dr.Brown & his staff. They are all excellent! I spent about 45 minutes with Dr. Brown as he went over every lab result where, I think, some Dr.s might try to save time by just saying ‘got your lab results, they’re fine’ and that would be that. Dr.Brown doesn’t rush you, explains everything, asks if I have anything new that needs his attention. He is, in my many many years of seeing many Dr.s in my lifetime, he is still the absolute best, without a doubt. The same with the staff, all of them from front office to nurses & etc., are all very nice, know what they are doing, set up future appointments ——- they are all excellent healthcare people. Dr. Brown & his staff just can’t be beat, there are none better!!!!!

Dan Fallow This place is wonderful you get right in they’re very cordial and very efficient and it Is sure better than waiting in the emergency room at the hospital for hours

L J Im extremely impressed with the Fitness Center at Halifax Hospital. Lynn the manager is an amazing asset to Halifax. Shes always willing to help and go the extra step. She is friendly, kind and very encouraging She never makes you feel like you are a bother. I was going to change insurance companies but it wouldnt have included this Fitness Center and because of that I decided to stay and not change my insurance, so I could stay at this Fitness Center because of the attention that youre given and the cleanlines of the gym. The staff is extremely friendly and the Fitness Center is very clean and always kept in an orderly fashion. Thanks to all, especially Lynn.

Arlene Mazzoni Even though the ER was full and the wait very long, the assistance I received was personal and staff took the time to explain things to me and took good care of me. Twice a gentleman came in and prayed with us. That brought a short calming to the many people there. Most stopped, bowed their head, and listened. Of course there were a few soothsayers in the group but that will happen. The after affect was calming. It took a lot of courage for someone so young to get up in front of a hard tired sick crowd to get them to quiet down and listen. He is doing a wonderful job. Even the playing of a lullaby when a baby was born brought smiles to some complaining about people waiting. All in all this wasn’t a wasn’t a wonderful experience for people in pain but the staff kept smiling and kept saying I’m sorry for your long wait they’ve been trained well

Matthew Schwarmann This review is for the Labor & Delivery section of the hospital.  If you just want the quick summary it’s 100% Have your baby here, the staff was beyond incredible! 1. Aletha our night nurse might be the most incredible human being on the planet.  We had a really long delivery; 39 hour induction including over 25 hours of active labor.  As you can imagine my poor wife was exhausted.  I know Aletha had to have other patients as well, but somehow it always felt like she was there every single second we needed anything.  Even more amazing on the 2nd night Aletha’s 12 hour shift was supposed to end at 7 am while we were about 36 hours in.  I’m still not sure exactly how Aletha knew but she just seemed to know my wife and I were hoping she would be able to stay, and sure enough Aletha worked 15 hours straight to stay with us through the birth of our son.  That extra 3 hours meant my wife got to be that much more comfortable having this amazing person helping to deliver our son, and we will be forever grateful we had this phenomenal nurse to help us through. 2. Sarah (our day nurse)-  Have you ever met someone where it’s simply impossible to talk to them without smiling and feeling happy?  Sarah is this exact person.  Picture just a ball of good energy.  Whether it was a joke, a story, a smile or just anything to make my wife feel better Sarah was perfect for it.  All while handling all her patients and duties.  Exactly what you need when going through labor.  People like here are one more reason to choose Halifax. 3. Kaylee- Another day nurse we had the pleasure of having.  Kaylee managed to combine a no nonsense attitude get the job done while making it clear she genuinely cared about us.  Her leadership was very calming and you just knew instantly you are in good hands when she’s around.  She answered so many questions from us and again made us feel comfortable in a stressful time. 4. Kendal- Kendal was a nurse from another department moving over to labor and delivery.  She has 3 kids of her own and multiple times she was able to give advice, answer a question, reassure us about difficulties etc etc.  She was kind and friendly and someday there will be another new mom who gets reassured by Nurse Kendal Moving to our general experience.  Right of the bat Halifax is the only Level 3 NICU in the area.  They also offer tours on Tuesday afternoons before you deliver just so you can see everywhere you will be going, fill out paperwork ahead of time and just be a little more comfortable.  Another thing we appreciated after we got admitted they let us know they had training nurses (as all hospitals do) who may want to watch the delivery but that our comfort was paramount and if we didn’t want any extra people in the room none of them had to come.  We wanted to at least try and help a little and agreed to having one training nurse observe who wound up being a lovely girl named Trinity.  She was really sweet, eager to learn and be helpful.  I imagine training under these amazing Halifax nurses Trinity will someday make another set of parents have a great delivery experience.  One more just perfect example of how much these Halifax nurses care.  As mentioned our labor was quite extended and my wife had been stuck at 4cm for hours.  Every other person who had come in around the same time as us had already had their babies.  Aletha came in to give my wife another check and when she came up smiling we knew we had finally progressed.  Aletha entered in we were 9cm (baby almost ready to come) in the computer and about 5 seconds later we heard the entire floor of nurses cheer.  Turns out they had all been checking on us on their external monitors for hours rooting for us.  It felt fantastic to literally be able to hear people caring that much. In summary I understand there might be a newer or prettier hospital somewhere, but I am beyond certain you will not find a safer, more comforting experience for delivery with people who genuinely care about you than Halifax Health Labor Delivery.

Marilyn French She is a terrific Cardiologist. She has kept me going for years. Very knowledgeable and keeps me well informed!

Autumn Hale Julian Johnson is probably the most caring and thorough doctor I had found in South Daytona for my husband. Sad that he left the area but after searching online, it looks like he has moved to New Smyrna at 101 Causeway. I saw prior reviews for him and people wondering where he went and after searching that is the location as of Sept 2024. Its very sad that doctors nowadays are rude and are scheduling so many appts in one day that they cant take the time their patients need to discuss their issues. Dr Johnson was very nice, empathetic, and took the time to address all issues.

Kathy Lawrence Fantastic experience. Medical staff are extremely friendly and accommodating. The surgical center is very clean and organized. The staff all worked very well with each other and were in sync. Everything flowed like clockwork from check-in to discharge. My procedure was done on time and I wasn’t there very long which is great because I wanted to go home and rest.

Traci King Awesome surgeon who saved my 88 year old mother’s life today. As a nurse I knew the odds were stacked against her. I am so grateful for your surgical skill, compassion and willingness to take on a difficult case!

Carra M. (Sculptr) Kind, compassionate, and extremely knowledgeable. I cant imagine going to anyone else but Dr. Arab. The staff is great and treats patients with respect. I highly recommend both Dr. Arab and his staff.
