33 weeks pregnant and had a bp crisis, and had to be rushed here, and my doctor Wanted to have them transfer me to the hospital where I d be delivering so I could be monitored there after they got me stabilized. Fort Walton Medical staff did nothing to lower my bp, just drew my blood, had me lay down and checked it until it went down, and then refused to transfer me to the larger hospital, directly ignoring my doctors orders, told me there was nothing wrong and discharged me. And then Billed my insurance $10,600. Luckily, I called my doctor and had my husband drive me to the other hospital where my doctor was able to make adjustments as needed, because I was in the middle of another bp crisis just a few hours later. If you have a choice, do not come here. I do not recommend this place. They re both the incompetent and probably the most expensive hospital I ve ever been to.
