Great experience tonight in the ER. Everyone that cared for me were very personable and professional. Tests were performed and results given in a timely manner. Wonderful staff! Only critique would be to ensure the rooms and bathroom are cleaned routinely. Thank you guys for such great care!
I had a heart scan this morning. The staff was completely professional and very nice. My RN Jessy was excellent and very informative. Explained the entire procedure before we started the scan, which made me feel less nervous.
I went to visit a friend and this security guard ,his name is Christopher he is very disrespectful and don't know how to talk to the visitors and workers .I don't know how they have a security guard like that working there ,very very rude and his dress code is very sloppy and inappropriate for the working environment.My visit to Florida Medical Center that day was disappointed to see such rude behavior coming from such young man.I am so disappointed in the service i got from that security guard. And the way he look at the ladies in a sexual manner its just unacceptable ,rude .
l wanted to let everyone know what a great experience l had with my total knee replacement.from the doctor to the therapy at out patient rehab department.1 person that made it exceptionally great was John Burton my physical therapist.He showed that he really cared. That I really thought I was going to do well and it made me want to go to therapy more.Thank you once again for everything.
Great everything! Sorry I had a good experience there!
They sent me and my father a bill for $17000 despite having insurance and they seem to have a lot of my stuff. They're not really a trustworthy hospital.
Florida Medical Literary Saved my Life. The entire staff I came in contact with went above and beyond. But one Nurse stood Out, Ms Darlene. She is the absolute Best. She was able to keep me calm and comfortable, Such an access to the company. Thank You Ms. Darlene.
We are currently here with my father, the ER did not tell my father the results from his exam, he was sent to the 5th floor and has been here for 17 hours now and only to find that out that one of the tests may have been wrong. The nurses are great and very nice! But to get results from exams and the Results from the exam that they had to re do for my father has been a hassle, since the nurse may not give results only the doctor we are just here waiting. Its extremely worrisome that we have to wait so long without knowing when doctor will come to tell you the results even thought the test results are ready to be reviewed. If doctors are not in the hospital then they should at least access the system, call or do anything to keep up with their patients. Afterall thats what they swore by and the bill we receive from them and the hospital is high enough to have them give the correct attention to those in need. VEry disappointing!
5/17/2018 at 6:50pm at 8pm will be 24hrs at F.M.C
50 mins after response from my review still nothing, not even an estimated time as to when Dr. Abdou will be in or call to give results. Nurses paged him again as requested per my dad.
5/17/2018 at 7:20 Dr. Abdou calls in.
One good news is the reviews here really work. Thank you very much for the person who is taken actions from here.
So whoever is reading this make sure to use this system to help them better the hospitals system and staff, it works.
The urine result that was positive for some substances which we believed to be wrong and after requesting many times it was re done and came out negative - what happened there we have no idea, we ll definetly pursuit to see what happened, since this is not acceptable. All other tests we ll get at the medical records office after 24hrs of my father being released.
Marielle, Angela and Rose are really great and work really hard, we would like to thank them for being understanding and listinning to us.
My father also says that the ER was quick everyone was really nice.
So to be fair I m raising the stars, but there is a lot to improve on the doctor patient side, which Doctors need to listen and spend more time with their patients in order to properly diagnose and make patients feel better.
Dr. Ashraf, the cardiologist, should have listen to my father and not walked out of the room as he did, as afterwall the test was negative in the second run, but my father had to get upset, my mother had to cry and all to get a second test to make sure results were wrong as aspected, but why would they listen right, they don t get paid enough. By the way it was a urine test! A patient in cardiology observation had to get upset to be heard.
Oh by the way we still have no answer as to what my father had.
Excellent experience! Friendly staff and great care! Highly recommend!
I had nice doctor and nurse and they was very patient with me and kind.i wouldn't mind coming back
My mother-in-law is in ICU in very critical condition. The communication with the family has been almost completely non-existent. The only time I have gotten information is when we pry it from them. One nurse told me in the a.m. that the goal this morning was to get her stable enough for a CAT-SCAN.(Mind you the nite before they told us they werent doing one) at 7pm at the end of his shift I asked him (after waiting all day for an update) if they did the CATSCAN , he tells me he has no idea. How is this even possible when you are the attending nurse?
The first night she was in they told us a neurologist would speak with us. After hours and hours of waiting they send in a nurse practioner from neurology instead. Not much empathy if any at all in delivering news. Only after I insisted on talking to the doctor did they make one available, again hours later.
Yesterday they tell us two tests must be done by Florida law before they can take her off life support, we thought they would be done by now because one was already done yesterday. Not the case and again nothing said to us until we inquired.
This whole thing has been a horrible nightmare.
The two stars is for the CARE the nurses have proivided to her. The nurses have treated her with dignity and respect and I wholeheartedly appreciate that. Unfortunately because of all the non-communication, two stars is all I can give them.
I pray they FIX this before the next family has to go through what we have gone through.
I want to thank the Outpatient Surgical Center for their compassion and kindness towards me..!!! This area of the campus is completely different from the ER and the 5th floor..
Dr Bayron, surgical assistant and the nurse I give you a thumbs up !
This Hospital is the worst hospital ever!!! the CNA s are very unprofessional the ones with the burgundy scrubs on not they re sooo mean and rude to the patients and myself at nights they be talking so loud on the phone and to each other and slamming doors when they served food they acted like they doing us a favor when someone dealing depression and anxiety go to the hospital we go for help not to get yelled at or mistreated
I must say before coming to fmc I was so nervous because of all the bad stuff I heard over the years but my nerves quickly disappear.the wonderful lady at the security desk was amazing and after that everyone else I met was beyond sweet and caring! I was at ease and it was all because of the nurses and everyone in the outpatient area! After my surgery I met even more nice and caring nurses!! Thank you to everyone I met on my short stay. It was really great experience
There must be only one person at this Hospital honest and her name is Stephanie Bowmen Nobody else at this Hospital wanted to give me their nameI can't believe we the people allow our tax dollarsTo run a facility with a 2.7Strange things are happening when nobody at the hospital wants to admit who they areAll of the staff at this HospitalArcade Fire lie too much money
Horrible! These people do not care about your love ones. They are very unprofessional and not knowledge at all. Stay far away! They will kill your love ones to keep them from telling the truth about hospital. You've been warned.
Good experience. specially in the ICU very friendly, concerned and caring very grateful from all the staff specially,my husband nurse Sergio amazing gentleman. thanks Florida Medical Center at Lauderdale Lakes Florida. Att Olinda Maldonado
Hello. I am a current patient in the Florida Medical Center. I was admitted on Monday, January 25 via the Emergency Room. The ER staff was very efficient and my diagnoses was quickly found and I was treated and admitted to a very NICE room in the Hospital.
During my stay here I met the most efficient, dedicated staff I have ever experienced, whether as an inpatient or an outpatient.
There is, horwever, one big problem, and because I am trying to stay calm despite the chaos, I choose to use some humor in all of this to maintain my equilibrium.
Well you all know about the Affordable Care Act and how the government is trying to keep healthcare costs down. Well, believe it or not, I am anxiously awaiting transfer to a Rehabilitation Center since Friday for continuity of care. The hospital Dr., appropriately discharged me on Thursday, January 28th. Today is Frbruary 1 and I am still hanging out in the hospital, waiting to be transferred somewhere. You see, the room is very nice and I have privacy, but who is going to give me rehabilitation to restore my health so that I can return to work? And since I am an Independent Contractor, who the h--- is going to pay me for loss time at work because of the negligence of the hospital staff to send off the appropriate documents to the insurance company? Is this situation a one time oversite or is this a method used to hype up the cost of the patient's Hospital) stay?
Believe me, if I were a slacker it would be my pleasuee to hang out here with these pleasant, hard-working, dedicated people, but I have to get well and return to work so I do NOT end up in the system. I have a life, Bills to pay and people to help. Will someone please GET ME OUT OF HERE before I develop bedsores, adhesions and hospital-acquired infections that can be deadly?
Before going on this website I dialed "0" with an effort to get the phone # for an Hospitalist. When I CALLED the # I was given Brad, who took all my information then told me I would have to pay to use his service. That's when I finally decided I NEED to get out of here; and I am not leaving AMA because.....if I get sick afterwards, that could be used against me. I feel like a well-fed caged animal, but I NEED to go to the rehab and go on with My life. HELP ME PLEASE!

So I called to speak with a nurse on the 3rd floor and the secretary ms.NOVELETTE answered was very rude and uncooperative because she stated well first of all I m not the nurse so I m not responsible for answering your questions . . My grandfather only had on a diaper and no gown so I was concerned that he may be a little too cold. After being transferred to his nurse she was very helpful and answered all questions for me.
What a pleasant experience under awful circumstances
I came in here through the ER, was taken in immediately, RN and Dr were soon to follow. The testing that was ordered came swift, all results explained in language I could understand.
It was decided that I be admitted, what a beautiful room with nice view!, very tidy and new, private.
The nurses are great too, I had a super duper nurse named Felix, he was so compassionate and was able to calm me down while holding my hand, that really meant a lot. So many people in and out of my room, all concerned about my wellbeing and asking me if I need anything, even housekeeping!
I would recommend this hospital wholeheartedly to everyone!
I had a very bad experience at Florida Medical Center Lauderdale, I went there because I thought if I would be there, they would take care of me and they would help me me , but instead of help me i leaved this place felling worse than the way I was before going there. I feel very sad for the bad way they threatened me an no only me, I sowed so many injustice also with the other patients, they don t let you to take a shower after 2 days, they don t let to brush your teeth for 3 days, they do this on porpoise , they treated me like a homeless, they moved me at 10:00 pm when I was sleeping from my room , because they say they need ny room to put two guys, and they told me to take my blankest with me , and the new room they gave me the bathroom was so massy, smelled like pi , was dirty and that made me feel most depressed than i felt when I got there.
I thought they were supposed to help me no to made me feel worse. This hospital is the worst hospital I ever been in my life . They almost kill me with the medication that I was not supposed to take, and besides that the doctor put this horrible medication to take it lemotrigine, even though I told the nurse that this medication causes me side efects. .and she told me that she was going ti tell my doctor in theMedical florida center, And she never told that to my doctor, and my doctor prescribes again that poison medicine to me again. . really they almost killed me. with this medication knowing that I have a fatal reaction if I take this medication. I don t recommend thus hospital at all. J was supposed ti ve better and I left felling worse.
This is the worst hospital in America. Please do not send any of your loved ones here if you want to see them alive tomorrow. They re very rude and they do not take accountability of their actions. Also if your family is ill they will isolate them and not let anyone in the building to see how they are doing. My mother went in due to diabetes and a toe infection and they were going to cut off her whole foot! Thank God she went to another hospital where they only removed the infected toe. Be aware. That s all I have to say.
I want to commend the staff at the ICU at Florida Medical Center. The nurses and the supportive staff are among the best I have ever een. My dad had been brought here even though he is affiliated elsewhere. So this was not our first choice of care. Due to the urgency of the situation, he was brought here. I am so glad they did.
The staff and nurses on the ICU floor are the very definition of compassion. They take time to explain things in plain English. They explain thoroughly. They do not sugarcoat the situation. And they truly understand what we are going through.
Not only do they take superb care of their patients and their loved ones, they take care of each other.
This experience was completely uncharted territory for me. They helped me navigate through this difficult time with patience and grace. I could not have asked for better care.

The billing the department is not there to help, even on this crisis they don t want to understand that people lost their jobs and some of them have Fewer hours.
If it's asthma you chose the right place they are very fast depends on the doctors
I came in today at 1:40pm complaining of chest pain they took my vitals and did an ekg very quick. Once I was place In room blood was taken it is now 5:57 pm and not one sole has walked In this room . Worst service every if I wasn t in so much pain I would raise hell first and last time coming here
Thank you Dr. Isaacs and nurse Tayeni this review had nothing to do with you. To the director that came in the room explaining time you need to learn how to talk to people I had ever right to be upset your board tell you how long it takes for each 1 to 7 pm is unacceptable for anything.
My nicec was taken there nnd it almost 8hours just to give her medicine
I am absolutely outraged. I came to this disgusting hospital to visit my mother when I found the security manager Romerio or Romario, however you spell his name, staring heavily at my daughter. Sure my daughter is of legal age but that is no way to carry yourself in a professional facility. It disgusts me. I had to ask somebody what his name is because I couldn't let this go. Excuse my manner but that is ultimately unprofessional. I don't know what kind of freak show is being run in that place but it's disappointing especially when it comes from a security manager. I'm so in shock. I'm usually not so uptight about things but I find it so disgusting to stare at someone's daughter that way. At that his demeanor is unbelievably rude and careless.
Is there a way to put less than one star? This place is horrible!! I do not recommend it to anyone that would want to survive. I just dont have words to say how bad this place is. Please if you and your family care about your health then do not under any circumstances visit this place.
I went in to the emergency room. Everyone was wonderful, they knew what had to be done. I was taken care of immediately and they watched me through my time there. I was scared when I got there but felt safe after listening to the doctors who were knowledgeable and truly concerned about my care. I was there Christmas time of 2017.
Went recently, thank you Dr. Lopez and the team. Love this hospital!!!
We found both the administrative and professional staff to be highly focused on our care. John Burton, handling my wife's therapy has been extremely caring and rofessional.

I was just discharged from this hospital about two hours ago. I was having one of the worst days of my life I was in a lot of abdominal pain, throwing up, very dehydrated and very scared. I went to the hospital via 911 because my husband was at work at the time and when I told him where I was, he went online, saw the reviews on here and immediately rushed over to try to convince to sign out against medical advice so that he could drive me over to Holy Cross. I was surprised that he said this hospital s rating was so low because the care I was receiving was good. My nurse, Sam, was very thorough, caring and actually listened to me. He s awesome! The technician, Natalie, was very friendly and upbeat which put me at ease. The PA, Jessica, is very bright and took her time assessing me. I spent roughly an hour and a half there altogether and was discharged with no more nausea or vomiting, no more pain and hydrated. I was so out of it when I arrived that I dropped my wallet and can you believe the Secretary, Iris, actually went digging through the trash to help me find it? I mean where do they do that? This hospital is not bad at all. I appreciate all of the staff. Hopefully, I won t have to see you all again :), but if I am ill I certainly will not hesitate to return.
on hand doesn't know what the other is doing. when they transferred my father to another room, they forgot to put his IV back & he dehydrated. That is just one example. I could go on
Staff incompetent, they have people laying around everywhere. You d think it s a shelter in their.
Had my first checkup and it was wonderful. Everyone was professional.
This is the most disgusting Hospital known to man himself, the death rate is high at this hospital, if you have loved one don t bring them there you won t see them again
I would give 0 railings if I could
Sharing details of my experiences here , where do I start ?
Horrible !!!!
Negligent, negligence, arrogant, understaffed, my father died here because of neglect. All round NEGLECT.. nurses don't care if they eat or drink, not treated for other illnesses while there. DON'T DO IY.
I recommend FLORIDA MEDICAL CENTER. All the staff very professional, fifth floor is the best. The Nina nurse excenlent.
I had went there on November 19th to have a heart Catherazation done. As outpatient. The Nurse & Staff were extremely Kind & explained all that they& my Cardiologist were going to do. My procedure was Awesome, i didn't have any problems. I can't thank the nurses and all the people enough for their genuine care for me while i was there. I would highly recommend FMC for any outpatient services you have to have done. .
Worst customer service I have ever experienced
I called for information because of a family member that was rushed to the emergency room and the operator was so rude to me. Hung up on me 2x and told me she didn't hang up on me but she was finished with the call. i asked her for her name she told me that is not of importance to me and told me i'm holding up her line she has other calls to take. Mind you when I previously called she was holding a conversation with someone else. Dealing with a dying family member and bad customer service is unacceptable I will be reporting this to the director.
1 because I can not give them a 0.
They do not allow any relatives inside and they do not provide any communication.
They realesed my father in law without being well or at least stable. He had to go to a hospital again. We will never go there again.
My spouse had total hip surgery and was up walking the same day. Amazing ! As a nurse of 26years I can truely say the entire experience from registration to discharge was wonderful. Thankyou to all the care givers and clerical personnel. Special thanks to Dr William Burke and the fifth floor orthopedic team. Truely awsome !!!
I was at the walk in E.R in Davie I had Dr Bawa on Dec 16 2018 and if I didn't have her for a doctor I would not be here right now she literally saved my life she didn't just brush me off thinking I was some whiny 35 year old I told her that I had a cold and a pain on my side but little did I know that my aortic heart valve had completely vegetated so she did an extra CAT scan and found it and 3 days later I had open heart surgery but if it wasn't for her I would not be writing this today and I saw her again yesterday and she was just as good as she was back in December I cant tell you how much I love Dr Bawa words don't and can't even begin to express my love for her she is my guardian angel Thank You Dr Bawa
I don't like this hospital in my opinion this hospital is not a good one. My cousin passed away here recently and the providers gave up on here and I don't believe she would be gone today if she went to another hospital. I heard someone say people come here to die and I feel like with low quality care that I have witness maybe they do.
Thanks for taking care of me during the night/wee hours of the morning.
Florida medical center I had a great experience Excellent food, nurses and rooms And of course top notch doctor William Vincent Burke Thanks to everyone
Great place to work if you live at 1881 NW 31st Court, Oakland Park l, Florida 33309! Go FLORIDA Memorial Center!
I was nervous about coming here after reading the reviews below. My doctor s office assured me to disregard the comments that FMC is a great hospital, so I kept my surgical appointment. I am currently here and can t say enough wonderful things about the place. From the security officer at the front door, to the admissions staff, to the pre-op department, the surgical staff, the recovery room and the nurses on the floor, no one could possibly be nicer and more attentive. I will be here 3 total days and couldn t be more pleased with the service. One comment below mentioned the food being bad. Let s face it, we don t come to a hospital for a 5 star meal so to expect that kind of food is rediculous but so far the meals have been good and delivered hot....no complaints. When I said everyone has been nice, it is an understatement. Literally no one has been anything less than great. I have been through blood work every six hours, physical therapy twice a day and occupational therapy. Even these peripheral specialties have been excellent. I highly recommend this hospital.
My dad is in the ICU right now. I am a RN and his medical advocate. So disappointed with the lack of communication. He had a cardiac cath today and Dr Vasquez has yet to call me. Even after leaving 2 messages to call me. The only nice nurses there have been travelers. I would think with Covid you all would be more empathic to families who cannot be there
My uncle is here and the service is terrible, we asked the nurse a question regarding his blood pressure and she responded saying I don t know . we also asked for pain medication because he was in excruciating pain and they said ok and never returned in the room.
