Orlando Health Melbourne Hospital - Melbourne (FL)

5 /5 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!

5 /5 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.

2 /5 Nicole Sinnott: I have such a mixed review of this place. The nurses, respiratory team, one physician in particular were amazing to our son. They were so kind, and helpful. There was another doctor we saw, I cannot remember his name for the life of me, but he had dark hair and the only way you could even tell he was part of the staff was by his badge, was horrible. He was arrogant, entitled, and just rude to us. He also gave my son a misdiagnosis. He told us my son had early signs of pneumonia per his Xray, I immediately took him to a children’s hospital the next day and over TEN physicians and staff members reviewed his X-rays and confirmed he did not have any signs of pneumonia. He was so rude to us and acted like we were incompetent and I do not suggest him in the slightest. Edit: He prescribed my son antibiotics and gave him too high of a dose. The PHARMACY had to catch it and call him.

5 /5 Trena Ward: Dr was great. But when I called back to discuss symptoms getting worse the nurses were nothing but rude to me. I give the nurse who answered my called 0 BELINDA. LEARN YOUR MANNERS!!! If you can’t have compassion for sick people, maybe you’re in the wrong profession, baby

1 /5 Summer Davis: I wouldnt come back to this hospital even if I was about to die. Im not even sure where to begin! Check in people are rude, nurses are even worse, you almost never get to speak to a doctor, its always a PA and they also seem to have some kind of attitude. If you dont like the career you chose then why take the job at all? The waiting room is one of the smallest Ive ever seen, and intake is seriously violating HIPPA by leaving the door open while taking vitals and talking about the problem at hand. Sometimes you dont even get to the back room, someone whos not even a doctor is allowed to diagnose and treat you and send you on your way home after the entire lobby hears whats wrong with you. My husband is here being seen, Ive been here since 11am with him. He passed out after turning blue from lack of oxygen. We are still in a back room waiting to be transferred to his actual room. They told us he was being admitted at 4pm after I through a fit about them not taking him passing out seriously. We have been here 3 times this month. Each time a different contradicting diagnosis. They dont even know what wrong and keep playing guessing games with my husbands life. He was also told multiple times multiple different visits that he did not have a hernia until today, when an actual doctor finally spoke with him and told him he absolutely does have a hernia on top of whats going on with him. I called patient advocacy, no answer, left a message no call back. This is severe medical neglect at its finest. This is the most disgusting hospital Ive ever had to deal with. With the most disgusting people working here. Just nasty vile things being set out loud that they dont understand we can hear. It almost seems like every nurse here is more focused on how long their hair is their lashes and their nails. Its like walking into a beauty contest instead of a place to treat sick patients that are possibly dying. After waiting 3 hours for a blanket I finally hunted down anybody I could find to get one for my husband whos been shaking for hours cold. I just asked again at 8:00 p.m. when is he being transferred to his room? He was admitted at 4:00 and is still sitting in the back. I was then told "I dont know if were getting beds tonight" seriously???!!! Your a hospital! Is this really how Orlando health treats his patients? Hes supposed to be in a room monitored by machines right now all night long so we can figure out whats going on. I dont care who comes in with a little cut or a cold My husband literally passed out two days in a row from no oxygen intake! And since hes being admitted I count that as being more severe than others. Since they keep saying it goes based off of priority why is this not a priority? I will be hiring a lawyer, this is a giant lawsuit at hand. No wonder why they keep changing their name from wusthof, to Steward medical, to Melbourne regional medical, and now to Orlando health. You can change the name from being sued so many times but you cant replace the crappy employees here? Really? And you wonder why you keep getting sued!
