Tampa General Hospital - Tampa (FL)

1 /5 Tamy Thayer: Wow! Just wow! The ED has expanded into the waiting area so the wait times may be low but holy moly dont expect any privacy. Patients crammed into tiny cubbies with plastic dividers - you can hear everything anyone is saying. And God forbid you get admitted for observation. Youll likely be one of the MANY MANY patients lining the hallways. They have bed #s over any open wall space where they just put someone and then if you ask (and in my case, I had to request it), you can have a plastic divider for "privacy". I can tell you all about all of the cases around me. Dont expect your meds on schedule either and with no call button you cant request them. Cant get help and the nurses spend more time sitting at the nurses station than checking on patients with no call buttons or the like. Honestly I have been in hospitals overseas that had far better conditions than this. The archaic nature of the way they treat patients in the ED is appalling. How this isnt a HIPPA violation is beyond me. And the Fire Marshal - they must have paid them off because there is no way that this is a safe set-up that if they had to evacuate patients in a fire they could do so quickly, easily and without risking patient safety. Also, Im all for young physicians learning the art of medicine but holy moly - the average age of the doctors in the ED must be 29. If you want medical providers who have fine-tuned the art of practicing medicine with experience, this is not the place for you. But if you want an environment where the physicians are well educated by book knowledge and have a lot of "Bulls" spirit - this is a great place to go.

5 /5 Madalynn Wilmoth: First of all id like to say a big thank you to all the staff here. Very clean hospital great housekeepers, great surgeons, nurses, even the people in the cafeteria were welcoming. My 6 yr old son had emergency surgery on a broken femur and the surgeons did a great job, the incision was small healing great. Dr Shau was his surgeon. My grandpa also had a lung transplant here years ago and lived a long life after his transplant unfortunately he passed from cancer, but I couldnt be more confident in this hospital to care for my family.

5 /5 Alexandra Montor: I really love the hospital. I came in Thursday, January -30th -2025. Absolutely very good service, my child life educator, Kristen, she was very helpful and supportive. When I was going into eye surgery, Kristen played one direction (my favorite band) and we sang all the way into the surgery room along with the doctors. They made me feel comfortable. And she, Kristen, has helped me. All the staff here are very helpful. They made me feel very safe and supported, they take very well care of me. I absolutely love it. We got all our answers that we desperately needed. This hospital is like a beautiful heaven. As a 12 year old, I felt very safe and comfortable. I really love it. All my nurses made me feel comfortable, and they even provide activities and therapy dogs. They are very patient, I really love this hospital.

1 /5 Nicole Monge: If you want to die waiting in the ED, this is definitely the place for you! Im literally writing this from the "Emergency Room" - three hours in and I had to inconvenience the tween aged nurse and her two buddies and request some type of follow up from a nurse or doctor. During intake I was advised I would need a cat scan. The PA comes, takes notes on her blues clues notepad, leaves and says "let me see what the doctors want to do next." Whaaaat? I thought that was already established? Im 30 minutes from ripping out this IV and leaving. I wont even say leaving AMA because after three hours I wasnt even provided medical advice, so there is nothing to go against. An absolutely terrible experience. Update: nurses name was Alyssa. After expressing my concerns her and the other 2 nurses thought they could bully me into submission and said I was disrespectful because "there are actual sick people here." Thats fine - I can wait if I ay least feel my concern being heard and addressed. Imagine thinking its disrespectful of a patient to address concern or frustration because you feel you are unheard. Ill be requesting their names and reporting them. This is nursing in 2024 - nurses are apparently above reproach. They actually blockade themselves so, as a patient, I couldnt ask them anymore questions. Doctor has refused to give me the names of the nurses.
