Review of Indian River Medical Center Fo...

This hospital is the best hospital for the people ...

This hospital is the best hospital for the people who live near Vero Beach, Florida. I went to the Emergency department with a very serious fractured ankle. They could have sent me home. If they had I would have never made it through the night. The Doctor that took care of me in the ER was truly a Super Model. I want to thank you for all your help. You are someone who deserves good things to happen in your life. Thank you for not turning me away to suffer and be frightened at home.
I have a calcaneal fracture which is a heel bone fracture. It is a very serious fracture that required Emergency Surgery on a Sunday. I was in so much pain that with the most potent narcotic I still could not sleep.
The nurses on the 5th floor surgical unit were truly concerned for my well being. They did everything possible in an impossible situation.
Everyone who gave me care were compassionate and understanding.
Laura is truly a nightingale who made me feel she truly cares about all her patients. It did not matter to her who she was giving her 5 stars attention and care to. She's the nurse's assistant that you want in your corner.
Miguel was my nurse that brighten up my morning after my surgery. He knew when he saw me that morning that I was feeling down and did just the right thing to make me feel better. He is also a 5 star caregiver. He me feeling better and picked my spirits up.
As for my surgery I was blessed to have the A-team on call.
Doctor Haile is the podiatrist surgeon you want in the OR. I really crushed my foot. He repaired it using a steel rod, plate and screws. Only after surgery I had enough relief from the pain to sleep after being unable to for over 24 hours.
Dr. Courty was extremely concerned and helpful to allow me to go home later then the normal discharge hours. She knew how much I wanted to go home to be with my ESA pet Beebs. She also wanted to make sure I could go home and not be in unbeatable pain.
I feel that if you communicate your needs in polite and normal behaviors to anyone in this hospital. You will receive the 5 star treatment I was graced with.
Idian River Medical Center will always be my first choice for my family and me.
They're the best hospital in my area. So yes they do deserve a 5 Star rating.
I know that I have a long road to recovery up to almost a year. I am truly grateful that I started off with the best hospital to help me with my journey.
