Okay, had an LAD heart attack. Got the old stent in there and feel great. The best part of my two night stay was my night nurse in the cardiac unit on the fifth floor, Summer. Not only was she totally professional, but very caring and attentive. But best off all, when she made her nightly rounds she never woke me up!!! I've not slept that well in over 20 years. All the staff, top to bottom, are great, but sleeping was the best part and Summer made sure I was able to do so. Thanks again, my family and I owe you!!! -e-

I ended up needing a cardiac bypass operation and had it done at Holy Cross because that's where my cardiologist is based. I cannot begin to praise this facility enough. Every single staff member was amazing and compassionate. The care was extraordinary. The doctors, nurses and all of the rest of the staff were simply world class. I don't know what kind of customer service training this facility does but it should be a model for every medical facility. I simply cannot recommend this hospital enough.

I was in as an outpatient surgery for. Bladder repair. From the moment I entered the facility until the moment I left I was treated with warmth and caring and respect. My doctor, Dr. Willie Davila was incredibly wonderful. First as a human being and as secondly as a top flight eurogyno surgeon. His support staff is incredibly awesome both in the offices and in the hospital. The preop to the postop was handled perfectly. Support staff. PCT’s Nursing staff were beyond awesome. Can’t say enough about the warm fuzzies. The outcome has been terrific. Thank you all for the superb care.

I was seen at Holy Cross in the ER on one of the worst days of my life. I was quickly brought back to a room and assessed by triage and a PA student. PA Brian was my primary provider along with nurse Gracie. They were amazing. They were compassionate and sensitive to me. They provided me with necessary medication quickly and explored all necessary treatment options. Radiology tech Melanie was very kind and compassionate. They did everything they could for me, and Brian took his time coming back to see me several times to explain everything to me. I can’t thank the care team enough for the compassion they showed me.

The doctors at Holy Cross have been great for myself and my family. I am very happy to have such wonderful doctors. The administrative set up at the hospital is severely lacking. There is always a huge wait to make a doctors appointment. It is ridiculous to regularly need to wait over a half an hour or more just to simply schedule an appointment.
Cameron Cannioto
Excellent staff here on all ends from security to physicians assistants! I felt extremely cared for even though I just had a cut on my ankle that required stitches. One of the doctors was even nice enough to bring me a sandwich! This is my go to hospital now.
Kelly McFadden
Best hospital ever! to deliver a baby. Very pleasant nurses. Entire experience was the best from the time that I checked to resignation. Couldn't ask for more. Thanks, keep up the great work,
gordon seyfarth
I just saw Dr Fingado for the second time and he’s the best orthopedic I’ve ever had!! He’s very patient in his explanations and in answering all of my concerns. When he did give me an injection for my tennis elbow, I could hardly feel it. That in itself is a rarity.
The first time I saw him2 years ago was for arthritis in my thumb. He gave me some great advice on how to keep it at bay and they worked!! I still haven’t needed an injection in my thumb since taking his suggestions. I highly recommend him to everyone!!
Mel Stein
I was recently admitted through the emergency department for a cardiac event and the staff from the moment I entered,through my stay in the cvicu was superb. I was taken to the cath lab for a Stent to be placed and all the staff were top shelf and caring. The nursing staff went out of their way to make my stay as pleasant as possible., besides their excellent nursing care. If I should need cardiac care again I will go there in a minute.
andrew rivera
This hospital has allot of potential. Unfortunately i watched the weekend shift into the weekday shift and noticed the difference of care immediately. Family and friends need to be aware of their loved ones at times , but with patience while holding your words under your breath as they are and will be caring for the patients when no one's around. Thanks to nurses like Arianna and care attendants like Aya i was able to feel better about holy cross hospital and the magic of Care they provided.
Linda Rodriguez
They have been helpful from surgery to the stay. My favorite nurse has been Francine. She is so caring and made me smile and laugh. I am so grateful for everyone who has helped me here. God is good!

I just visited the emergency room at Holy Cross Hospital. My girlfriend had a bout of "Virtigo" not knowing what was wrong at first... Possible stroke was my worry. After an Outstanding staff response to her care, I was relieved to know it was a problem she has had in the past. I can't say enough about how fast they handle it. Attending emergency room Physician is "Amazing" as a Marine. You have my respect.
God Bless you All. Thanks and Semper Fidelis ...
Randy Caputo
Dr. Wang replaced my knee at Holy Cross Hospital. Great experience so far. Staff is busy but attentive. Friendly, courtesy and out going. I have a double room but no one is there. Great WiFi. TV not so much. Excellent food so far.
Update: Just had ankle replacement surgery by Dr. Robert Mills. Went great so far. I love this hospital.
Update 3-6-2010
I've now had a knee replacement, ankle replacement and cardiac catheterization at Holy Cross. I have had nothing but a great experience. The people are the difference. Great people. In a few days I will be getting having a triple bypass there. I'll let you know how it goes.
Cathy Austin
Was just released from hospital with influenza. So grateful for the team that treated me, including my nurse Jason, Dr Smith, along with each and every technician who helped me. God bless this hospital and staff.
Robert Blevins
The people that work here absolute sweethearts. This hospital was the only hospital i ever went to that made me feel confortable and heard. Special thank you to shelby in angiography for the lunch ideas, she was a doll.

Cardio Rehabilitation Department staff, accessibility, equipment and environment are terrific. The directions and attentiveness I’ve received there have been great for my health and well-being!
Warm regards, Team!

This hospital saved my moms and my life multiple times. They care, from their advanced equipment, fastidious upkeep and a staff that treats you and your loved ones as if they were their own family, Sadly I’ve been to many hospitals and none come anywhere near the level of excellence as Holy Cross.
Musaab Ramjan
Love this hospital. The nurses and staff have a built in sense of care and genuine love for what they do. The cafeteria food can be hit or miss. Some days the menu can be a real surprise, like this huge chocolate chip cookie they baked today.
Edit:
They are baking these cookies more often and they are always delicious and thick! Also I added some new photos of the cafeteria food and desserts with more to come because the menu does vary from day to day.

I’m so sad that the labor and delivery department has been permanently closed. I had the most awesome experience when I delivered my baby back in October 2021. The nurses and the doctors, the entire team was amazing. They put my mind at ease from the beginning and my delivery process went smoothly. The nurses in the NICU were awesome; Sandra, Loren, Natalie just to name a few, they took such great care of my baby and myself. World class treatment. I was able to ask any questions and was spoken to with outmost respect. I just want to say I appreciate you all for all that you have done. I truly appreciate the hospitality rendered.
Richard Astrella
I recently went into the Holy Cross emergency room. I’m from out of town and googled best rated hospitals in Fort Lauderdale and found Holy Cross. I must say that the staff, nurses, and doctors provided excellent service. I would definitely recommend Holy Cross.

Let me tell you, I've ALWAYS been the type of person where I like to see for myself before judging. So after two very DISGUSTING experiences at Broward imperial hospital I came here. THANK GOD. DONT BELIEVE they bad stuff. They went ABOVE AND BEYOND. EVERYONE. ESPECIALLY THE BLONDE GUY .this Hospital is AMAZING.
Patricia Jackson
I have been to hospitals globally and I think Holy Cross is just an amazing hospital. The level of staff interaction was on par with the Ritz Carlton.
More importantly, the medical team went above and beyond, reaching out to me, if necessary, to ensure the best care was provided for my mother.
I felt very comfortable and reassured throughout my mom’s stay. The staff were great, answering any questions I had and took good care of my mother at each stage.
I would fully recommend this hospital and will revisit for any future needs.
!!!A special thank you to the staff on 2 South who supported my mother.
Joseph Leonard
I had three hospitalization this year,A total of 12 nights in the hospital.I had many tests performed and and I had many contacts with the staff.All were professional ,friendly caring and upbeat.
They got back on my feet and did everything I hoped they would do to make me healthy.
I would recommend this hospital to anyone.
To all the staff at Holy Cross I wish you all
MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!😎🙏❤️🎅😀👮🏻♀️😁🍰🎄🤶🎁💥

From the ER to admitting my Mom. The doctor in the ER never left my Moms side. Very hands on and made me and my sister comfortable. Everyone pitched in. The nurses were Super kind. Best Hospital! They deserve more than 5 stars. Thank you Holy Cross

On 4.12.22 I walked into the Holy Cross ER seeking help with a recurring and painful abdominal issue. Within ten minutes I was processed into the hospital system and assigned to an exam room. Another twenty minutes passed and the ER team had started the process to both relieve my pain and find the cause of the pain. The ER doc's desire to further investigate my pain and cause of that pain paid dividends immediately, as that investigation revealed I was on the edge of a possibly life altering situation. I spent the next four days in the hospital under supervised care. Numerous Holy Cross doctors, nurses and support staff worked around the clock to ensure my condition did not worsen and my stay was as pleasant as possible. As a result of the steller care I received in the Holy Cross Health System between the dates of 04.12.22 and 04.15.22 I'm back to near full strength. I will, in a few weeks return to Holy Cross Health, to undergo the required corrective surgical procedure to permanently repair my faulty internal parts. My most recent visit to Holy Cross Health was a true 5 star experience.

Best and most trusted hospital I have ever been to! The staff is always extremely friendly and keep their cool in any situation. You always see the housekeeping staff cleaning constantly making sure everything is dissected and in order for the next patient! The nurses, doctors, techs, and The rest of the staff are just amazing! So glad to have this amazing facility in my town.
Jon Cortez
Woke up feeling horrible and went to Holy Cross ER. Had an absolutely amazing experience. Wish I knew the name of all of the staff that treated me because they were great. Even the girls at the front who took my vitals while I was waiting for a room. According to my paperwork, I was treated by Nurse JL, PA Jake Boyd, and Physician Shaikh Taha. Incredible customer service, kindness, compassion, and great bedside manner. I was in and out relatively fast with all of my tests taken care of / results in a timely manner. These people BELONG in the medical field. They truly know how to treat a patient. MY ONE COMPLAINT: The Hospital NEEDS to hire a different security service. The security guards that checked me in were rude and unprofessional. I couldn’t believe how rude they were while I was in such bad shape. Horrible! Luckily the medical staff put a huge smile on my face despite how I was feeling!
K C-Walden
Mimi from Dr. Mario Hernandez’s( adult Gallagher) office treated me with great patient care! I haven’t always had a good experience with PCP offices, but she was nothing short of amazing and worked with me to be seen promptly. Thank you Mimi, you rock!!!
Darren Buckner
Dr. Raul Gosthe, MD and his team took tremendous care of me prior, durning, and after my double hip surgery in February 2022. The recovery was quicker than expected due to the knowledge and experience of Dr. Gosthe and his team. My life came to a stand still as I was dealing with server double hip arthritis. I went to numerous physicians and never received honest and professional advise as I did from Dr. Gosthe. I am now feeling as if not only I have my life again but I have also added years. I especial am grateful to a team member, Ali, that gave such extra attention to my needs and for that I am grateful.
Jestine Braynen
Being in the hospital is never fun but after a stroke I had a 2 month stay where I was treated like a person and not a patient. The nurses in the IRU were the bestZCharmaine runs a great group of nurses that shows patients great care. My favorites were Sophia, Fellicia, Renata and Marcia. The physical therapy team was great also Mathew. Stevie and Grace made my transition to home easier with all the hard work and everything they taught me in Physical therapy daily. My only displeasure is how much time it takes for Social worker to respond to metand ro ake care of providing very information when needed
Charles Galvagni
From the ER through a 5 day stay, almost everyone was pleasant and as helpful as possible. The fifth star is missing, only because the staff Drs would not take the advice of the Primary in AZ.
In this case, Dr Cunningham (Primary)is intimately familiar with my significant other and all her medical conditions. Had her advice been followed, IMO, 5 day stay could have been 3, with a better end result.
Unfortunately, we have visited all the local hospitals in the last few years. Holy Cross is a beacon of light, making the others, mere flickering candles.
Gualberto Perez
My name is Gredelio P Chillon I have been a patient of Holy Cross Hospital for over 13 years and how it has changed in these years but for worse, costumer service and billing department. Billing department sent me to " Complete Collection Service " I never received a notification of that bill letter or anything related with this and why are charging me the money for the excellent Dr. Abhijit Basu, MD Evaluation and management visit to explain and justifying it. What is the CPT codes for that visit ?. Do not contact the billing department because I do not want to hear justifications or apologies. The damage is done!.
Ann Eugene
This is an exceptional hospital! Both my parents were here and the staff did an amazing job! Every time I called for an update on them, I was always meant with a friendly nurse, operator or secretary. I love this place it truly is a well oiled machine. Excellent excellent excellent service!!
Evan Weinrub
Just had my cervical fusion done here and the staff was wonderful, very friendly, caring and helpful.
Stephen Herceg
I have to call out one of the best nurses I have seen at Holy Cross Hospital, nurse Micaela! She has the most amazing personality and goes above and beyond even if some of the tasks weren't part of her role. What an amazing person!
Christine Thompson
My mom spent 3 weeks here and then I was there for a miscarriage last night. I have always had stellar care at Holy Cross. Staff were always patient and kind. My doctor provided me with 3 options and took my pref8into consideration. They listed when I said my pain had increased. They were compassionate and had great bedside manner.
When my.mom was here they handle her beautifully. She has dementia and can get aggressive if very confused. They were amazing.
Adam Lender
I'm generally pleased with the services I've received from Holy Cross. They employ great doctors who care greatly about the health and wellbeing of their patients.
Having said that, I would love to see improvements to their customer service. At times, it's been extremely difficult to get someone on the phone who can help me with my inquiries.
Christopher Beaulieu
The emergency room staff and doctors at Holy Cross Health were wonderful. From the young ladies at the registration desk to the doctors and nurses and others who cared for me, each and every one of the staff were kind, understanding, and professional. I would recommend that anyone who needs emergency care use the services of Holy Cross Health. It is not often that you find a group of people who are under great pressure that still take the time to listen and show that they care about you as a person, not just another number on their list of things to do.

Hip Joint Replacement
I got a new hip joint yesterday. My surgeon was Dr. Burke. One day later Dr. Burke, I just feel great, kind of nothing happens. I admit, that's a little bold to say that. I just wanted to point out that this entire procedure went by so smooth and relaxed. I want to thank you all the friendly and attentive staff in preparations. Anesthesia put me softly to sleep and when I woke up, I had a new hip. I was pulling the blanket to see if it's true, because I didn't feel a thing. Then again so friendly staff in recovery. Special thanks to nurse Marie. I never met a nurse so caring, I almost gave her a kiss for her lovely and caring personality. Now, one day after I feel just great, even it was a major surgery. So very well done Dr. Burke. Thank you
Todd Bennett
On March 3rd, 2022. I was admitted in the Emergency room to receive care.
Hours later, I was released and I ushered into the security room and the nurse had me sit inside.
The little Guard on duty harrassed me and got toe to toe and he threatened me. He needs training and firing. He's also racist. Haitian tiny security guard...this happened on March 3rd around 4:30. That's why I gave a 2 star....just because this "chip on his shoulder" security guard.
Fire him please!
nikhaila seays
I had the most amazing nurses and anesthesiologist Rain , Nancy and the anesthesiologist were beyond kind this was my first baby and they helped and gave kind and helpful advice along the way they made me feel very comfortable and at ease after my c- section ❤️.
sashay periwinkler
Everyone took such great care of me. Everyone was extremely professional and nice, I really appreciate everything the nurses/doctor did.
Christine S
Not all nurses are heroes. Let's just get a reality check on that. Especially when it comes to being a charge nurse and you are setting the tone and example for those under your charge. You may not like having to deal with a particular patient and their issues, but when their family member calls in and hears you snicker on the other end of the phone? The higher up in the hierarchy you become, the more of a servant you become. Stay humble.
Dessa Lidman
Holy Cross Health saved my life. Dr Catalina Ionita, ICU Neurologist saved my life. I have lived in 4 continents and have had good and excellent medical care, but Holy Cross Health's immediate care and attention to detail were exemplary! The nurses and doctors in the ICU were very compassionate and empathetic! Thank you so much again for helping me through. God bless you all!
Hank Carpenter
I had surgery yesterday and the Staff at Holy Cross Hospital was amazing!!😊 The attitudes and bedside manner of everyone was great. They were smiling and eager to help me feel at ease with everything. My wife and I were really impressed!! Casey took care of all my paperwork and she was sweet and bubbly. Michael Perez was my surgeon and he was awesome. I have to say that I really don’t like hospitals but this was a first class experience. Thanks to everyone at Holy Cross Hospital!!😊👍🏻🙏🏻
Jessica McConnell
All my nurses and doctors were fantastic. Rooms are immaculate, food is good, care is great. Special shout out to my nurses on the 3rd floor: Kendra and Melissa, and my PCTs. You're all awesome.
**edited to add** I've been admitted twice since my initial review and my rating will remain 5 stars. The staff here is phenomenal. Love my nurses and my cardiologist, Dr. Collado.
emily sargent
I went in today for my asthma/anxiety issues. I was admitted through the ER in a timely manor and put into my own room. The doctors who spoke to me we’re were super kind and pragmatic. The EKG tech was very professional as well. It was a good experience and I appreciate the efficiently.
The only reason I didn’t give 5 stars is because the security woman was rude, the intake nurse was a bit crash but still respectful... and the bathrooms were really dirty and covered in urine.
Besides that the service was great. I’m grateful! Thanks to all.
Glenda Ver (GViv)
I have to say THANK YOU to Holy Cross. I had to go to the outpatient without an appointment for an Urgent scan. I was expecting to sit for hours but the service was amazing. I was checked in and seen to so quickly. Amazing. Love Holy Cross.
Alexander Gonzalez
I came in and everything was clean and organized even with intercom messages of a stroke code and another code red and you still could feel calm and that everything was under control. Everyone that I encountered was very pleasant and personable. Nobody seemed too tired to deal with you or make you feel like a number. They didn’t even ask for insurance or payment information until discharge they just wanted to help you first. Emergency room was quite nice. I would definitely recommend.
Louis
This is the first time I have called, make appointments and seen doctors at Holy Cross and I’m really impressed with the Caring, Cordial, and Professionalism that Everyone at Holy Cross have shown...from the customer service to the doctors. It’s nice and refreshing to come to an organized place where everyone is working together and 100% for the patients. Some doctors here in Fort Lauderdale should take classes and learn from this Hospital. Thank You ALL in Holy Cross and God bless you All always! 🙏🏼

This grade of 3 is a blended score based on the following:
Convenience - 5
Professionalism - 3.50
Billing and Invoices - 0
I had a health event and was admitted to the ER. The ER was a slow painful experience. ER doctors spoke to me like I was a child and yelled at me. I did realize that I was having a serious event and understood the importance.
I was admitted. Treatment for the most part was okay. Most of the staff in the cardiac floor were compassionate. Some needed to find another job (but that is in every industry). They get 3.5 Stars.
The Heart Clinic is the BEST! I give them 5 stars! They offer physical rehab, testing and training. When doctors and PAs in the Cardiology department do not return voicemails, which is often, Heart Failure Clinic staff helped me get my prescriptions to the pharmacy.
Cardiology - A Half Star - My cardiologists PA NEVER returns voicemails for refills. The PA gets 0 stars. The receptionist changed my insurance, so I could not be seen. It took five calls and three weeks to get my after discharge appointment.
My issue with Holy Cross is the billing department. Billing gets negative stars! The hospital, their in- hospital physicians, and Doctors and ER all bill separately. The billing centers are also in different states. When I was admitted, Holy Cross stated they could not confirm coverage. They were aggressive in trying to make me sign a payment arrangement. After I discharged, I confirmed my insurance was active, sent it to the hospital and began forwarding evidence of insurance to the different billing centers.
It is three months later and Holy Cross Billing line still sends an automated voicemail asking me to make a payment arrangement. Meanwhile, my insurance carrier keeps sending EOB letters stating Holy Cross needs to send medical records. My bills are not being paid.
I appreciate the convenience of Holy Cross Hospital to my home and Holy Cross Health offices. For the most part their doctors are compassionate and perform their duties with care. Especially Dr. Daniel Gomez and Dr. Shephaldi Malhotra - They listen to me and I appreciate them.
Billing needs to get their act together.
Jeannine Lesburt
Dr Kravetz was excellent with my husband. Not only did he do a wonderful diagnostic paracentesis , but he was personable and explained everything to me.
Edward Mitzel
I was able to schedule my CAT scan and MRI on the same day within one week of my request. They were fantastic, I was treated with the utmost dignity and respect. My first exam was at 5 pm and both exams were completed and I left the hospital by 6:30 pm. It was an outstanding experience. The hospital is clean and laid out very well so it was easy to find the Imaging Department. But the staff really made the difference. Sharon at the front entrance was kind and understanding. Herson in registration was patient and helpful. Chris in CAT scan was caring and made me feel important. And Brooke in MRI was compassionate and let me know that Holy Cross Hospital felt privileged that I chose to have my imaging tests done there. I was anxious when I arrived but thanks to the staff I felt calm and reassured when I left. Thank you.
Teeya Rahmani
Even though I did not have to stay the night after my surgery, from the time I was checked in until I left, the care I was given was excellent. It all started at the main entrance. Very kind and helpful. The nursing staff made me fill a little relaxed. Let's faced it, I do not like needles and I get very nervous when I have surgery, but seeing how the staff was taking care of me, and saw to my needs with a smile, I was able to relax. Thank you to each and every one for all you do each and every day. Well done.
Maria Sclafani Fernandez
Staff was friendly and I made me feel 100% comfortable. It was my first time ever having surgery in my life and it was an amazing experience!
Everything went smoothly and everyone had a smile on their face. They made me feel like part of the Holy across family. I was there 18 years ago to give birth to my daughter and the hospitality was wonderful then and once again exceeded my expectations now! It was nice to pal around with staff before and after surgery. I didn’t feel nervous and I felt like I belonged there. Holy Cross and the Holy Cross Medical group has never let me down and that is where my loyalty will always remain. Thank you again!!!
Michelle Gibson
Excellent facility. Very clean and smelled fresh. With the exception of 2 staff members (nurses?), the other staff members were extraordinary. My surgeon's team, including the anesthesiologist, Opal, was excellent as was my surgeon, Dr. Robert Mills. The post-op nurse, Paulette, was the sweetest nurse ever. So comforting and reassuring. And Roslyn, whose last day was this day, as she was ready to embark on her retirement after 25 years, waited patiently with me as I waited for forever for my ride and until her replacement (to wait with me, as they would not leave me alone), as she was supposed to be attending her retirement party (several attendees, including her parents arrived as we were both waiting) is a wonderfully kind and warm hearted individual. I am sure Holy Cross Hospital will miss her greatly. No matter the type of surgery, it can always be challenging. But here at Holy Cross Hospital, they make the experience for their patients as pleasant as possible. From the moment they welcome you up to the moment they say goodbye, they truly make you feel welcomed.
Tomas Lassiter
Had a pleasant wonderful experience with the Endoscopy Outpatient Department. All staff were caring and very kind. Everyone introduced themselves and told me what they would be doing. My procedure was on time and done in no time. Dr Amat is the best. Thank you Holy Cross Hospital for making my procedure so pleasant.
Ebony Gemma
Our overall experience at Holy Cross Hospital was very, very good. My husband required surgery as an international patience, and they took such excellent care of him. Every single staffer we encountered was very kind and helpful. We felt genuinely welcomed, and the patient care and customer service was top notch.
elisa Momene
By far the best hospital I’ve been treated at! Highly recommend it. The staff here are so compassionate, helpful and most of all understanding.
Pamela Stamm
From the minute I walked in the front door to every young lady that helped me in the prep room to the recovery room were absolutely amazing. They never stop asking if I needed anything if I was comfortable extra warm blankets everything was just amazing! I can’t tell you how happy I was with your services. Thank you thank you thank you you really make a patient Feel very comfortable! Your staff was amazing at the outpatient facility! Thank each and everyone of them for all they do especially through this pandemic. Fondly Pamela
Kisha Edwards
Dr Beach was awesome! Great bedside manner and very professional and attentive. It was a bit of wait before nurses came over to begin their assessment once assigned a bed, understandably it was a bit busy. Chad -nurse was awesome. Triage nurse was very polite and speedy. Did not care to hear employees conversation at the nurses station, don’t need to know who possibly was fired, also need to watch the choice words. Registrar at reception desk could have been more customer friendly. Registrar which registered me was quite hasty, yet polite. Overall, not bad experience.
Brooke Walsh
We had the best second childbirth at Holy Cross! The nurses on staff - specifically Linda, Julie and Melita were AMAZING and made the experience wonderful. The Lactation specialists are truly amazing and patient and made it possible for me to comfortably breastfeed our daughter. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!!
We also visited earlier this year after an accident and needed monitoring in L&D - Cassandra in labor and delivery was amazing! Made me feel comfortable and safe in a scary situation. Thank you Cassandra!
william donald smith
I rcvd excellent care with my recent visit. From ER staff to doctors and nurses and assistants, I rcvd excellent care. The entire could not have been nicer. Very attentive, concerned and caring. Highly recommend. Thank you
Gordon Light
I just had my second total knee replacement.Dr. Martin Roche did the surgery.I was back on the Tennis Court in 5 weeks. Dr. Roche's staff are extremely proficient.This man does amazing work.The hospital was spectacular. I highly reccomend Holy Cross Hospital. I did my physical therapy with Holy Cross. I had been through 6 other physical therapists until I got to Stanley Gutierrez. The others were good but, this guy is great.
He challenges you to push yourself to do your best. The really neat thing about Stan is that he gives you specific not generic exercises for the sports that you participate in to make you better. I firmly believe that he is a major factor of my quick recovery.
Pearce McLain
I came into the emergency room and was taken right in. The staff was very friendly and courteous. The exam rooom was impeccably clean and the Nurse was friendly and very welcoming. I was asked to undress and put a gown. My vitals were taken and asked a few question regarding why I was there. I was told the Dr. Would be in to see me in a few minutes. It was less than that when I was greeted by Dr. Sachedina. She was caring and took great time listening to my concerns and the part I liked best was she offered options for my treatment and together we decided on the way to move forward. Dr. Sachedina maintained eye contact with me at all times remaining compassionate understanding and very interested in getting a care plan in order. She provided me with an immediate course of action verbal and written and explained if I had any issues to be sure to reach out to her at anytime. I have been referred to my PCP and a specialist for follow up. The overall experience was about 1.5 hours. Amazing. I would only choose Holy Cross Hospital.
Kay Parr
Had to have CT scan done. The staff had to work my appointment in. They did it immediately. The day of scan the staff greeting me with smiles and good mornings. They handled my information professionally and quickly. The technician made me comfortable and explained everything in detail. She talked to me and calmed my nerves. I always receive great kindness and professionalism when I visit. Great care from great staff and personal. GOD bless you all!
Devina Davis
I had a stroke April the 22nd and Holy Cross saved my life. The best doctors and nurses, amazing staff.
Tomas Rosales
I drove myself to the Emergency Room early Thursday morning, March 4th. After checking in the emergency staff did a great job making sure I was comfortable and see what the issue was. I was admitted and taken my room... my stay there was for a day znd a half being discharged on Friday st 7pm. Staff at Hospital were professional, courteous, friendly and kept me informed. Food service was excellent and they called me certain times of the day for my low sodium selections. The cheese quesadillas were great. Thank you
Carol White
From the moment I walked in to holy Cross Hospital and I knew I was going to be taking very good care of. Every person that I came in contact with could not have been more professional and kind. Dr. Burke and the entire staff in the OR were phenomenal. When I got to my room I met Georgeline my RN and the wonderful PCT,what a team. My night nurse Darlene and the PCT were great. As far as the PT and OT team there are no words to express my gratitude. Thank you Holy Cross and the entire team for making my experience at your facility a great one.
Ralph Caraglia
Entering the facility today I did not know that I would possibly have a life-saving procedure. I had never met the nurses or the doctor that was going to perform a cardiac catheterization procedure on me. The staff was brilliant. The doctor was honest open and extremely competent. I was in the best hands I could be in under the circumstances. Thank you Holy Cross for your staff your professionalism and you're ability to treat each person individually and with grace.
Amber Kanak
I never thought I'd leave a review for a hospital but I have to. I had my baby at Holy Cross Hospital a week ago and from the moment I toured the facilities when I first got pregnant, I knew this was the hospital for my family and I. The maternity ward is INCREDIBLE. I actually got sad being discharged! Ha! I loved all of the nurses, the rooms, the food, everything! I highly recommend Holy Cross for delivering your baby!

From the checking in staff to the nurses and the doctors, everyone was so kind and sincerely concerned about my emergency! I was seen immediately. I had to 2 doctors attend to my emergency and they were absolutely the best I have ever seen. They took there time to review the results of my injuries and answered all my questions that were concerning me. I felt truly cared for and blessed!

I am a nurse from Miami and I took my Dad into the ER for chronic diarrhea, the place is clean, pleasant staff, and competent . He was admitted for further testing, and the nurses are pleasant, doctors are competent, the room and bathrooms are clean, hospital food is quite decent, cafeteria makes omelette and sandwiches to order. Security checks everyone in with photo ID, the only negative is parking. It’s not enough for the size of the hospital but there is complimentary valet. Overall, I am very pleased with my first experience here
Tim McClellan
1/8/19 I had extensive clerical spine surgery and from the front desk to the nurse that wheeled me to the arranged transportation, everything went perfectly.
The hospital is clean, the Doctors and nurses are excellent. All provided a high level of professionalism, care as well as being pleasant to be around.
I’ve had numerous stays at Holy Cross in the past that made me apprehensive about another stay there. However, it’s obvious they have made great strides to provide the best care for all patients and it shows everywhere. Keep up the great work!

Due to my primary care physician not being able to see me and the horrible service I had received at MD Now, I was in need of an Emergency Room visit. I chose to go to Holy Cross E.R.
Right from the start, every person I dealt with was courteous and helpful. Ashley from admissions was sweet and made me feel I was indeed in good hands.
My Doctor Brandon Laza was outstanding. Very personable, caring and attentive. He kept me well informed and made me feel at ease. He was able to diagnose my problems that MD Now hadn't. He is an absolute angel.
My nurse was Jarad. Again, another extraordinary caregiver. He was kind and caring, always there for my needs. Although I am sure they're all wonderful, in my opinion... the best RN there!
I feel so fortunate to have had these 2 wonderful guys take care of me.
Stefano was my lab person and put in my IV. He too, was kind and very skilled. I didn't even feel the pinch he warned me about.
Even the lovely housekeeper, she was so sweet. She brought me a warmed blanket when she noticed I was chilled.
All I can say is Holy Cross... you have a wonderful staff that should be commended.
Thank you for taking such good care of me.
Sincerely,
Bob Rose

Went in for same day surgery and I was impressed. The pre and post op Nurses were amazing with their warmth, kindness and patience. The Nurse Anesthetist who attended me, Leslie, is a special human being. She didn’t just ask questions and leave. I told her I was a bit nervous and her words to me were “Relax, you are in my hands. I am going to take very good care of you. You are going to be just fine”. Does it get any more reassuring than that? I don’t think so. A big Thank You to Dr. Perez and the team.
Kris Wilkes
Top notch hospital with extremely talented and caring doctors. I have been to this hospital many times, for myself and with my elderly parents. The experience has always been first rate. The most impressive aspect is the quality of the doctors and medical staff. Dr. Rippe in the ER did an incredible job caring for my difficult and challenging mother in a potential heart attack situation. I cannot say enough good things about this hospital.
Lucy Syrowski
I've been to many hospitals and e.r. rooms for myself and family. I have never,ever encountered such a nice staff..includes everyone..orderlies? The Dr, P.A., nurses,intake ,x ray tech.
Not only did they treat me efficiency and expediently..they were respectful to each other..wonderful team! Thank you to everyone on duty 5/18..early eve. I heard you had a busy day..but you still had the energy to treat me kindly and quickly!

I recently spent three nights at Holy Cross Hospital. I received incredible care by everyone I encountered. The Emergency Department doctors were reassuring and gave me all the time I needed. Floor nurses and techs were kind, empathetic, organized, and very patient. The nursing floor supervisors were supportive and proactive. Every doctor I encountered explained my condition clearly and detailed a plan of action. The support staff such as phlebotomists, imaginging techs, custodians and food service personnel could not have been more attentive and pleasant.
My discharge plan was was detailed and concise, and doable. My nurse made that sure I understood it clearly before going home.
If I were reading this review I would be skeptical about it's validity as it sounds to good to be true. BUT that was my real experience and I am forever grateful to the staff and management at H.C. Hospital. It seems that they have worked really hard to be patient centric. They have a slogan on many of their posters, it says "BeRemarksble". When I first read it, I thought it was just another marketing ploy. But it wasn't, and they are!

Just wanted to say I worked in the operating room at holy Cross Hospital in 1958 and 1959 they gave me a job by mail and I drove from Pennsylvania to holy Cross to start work and move.
in 1987 my grandson was born there and came home the day after Christmas in a stocking and who would believe a 6 ft 6-in man would have come home at 8 lb in a stocking don't know how to put the picture on this.
Sandra Scallan
This had been our "family hospital" since the mid-60s. Crazy to say but it feels like home as we've been there over the years so many times for births, surgeries, emergencies, tests and life saving visits.
When I walk through the doors I know I will be taken care of by the best doctors, nurses, labs, and support staff throughout my stay. I have a major surgery scheduled in a few weeks with Dr Leone for a total hip replacement. I know I will be in good hands and feel very secure.
Charles DelOrfano
I was sent from my pain doctors office to x-ray my kneecap without an appointment. I arrived at lobby and was immediately sent to imaging. Was processed quickly and efficiently. The whole thing was done within 30 minutes altogether. Wonderful experience with expert care. Very satisfied with the service.
Myrna Schussler
Excellent safety precautions for virus protection. Employees at every step in pre-op and post-op were efficient, cordial and communicative. I felt safe and ready to go home on the same day as surgery. Each doctor involved was wonderful. I am now recuperating at home feeling far better than I expected to.
Paul Olson
I highly recommend Holy Cross Hospital Out Patient for having any blood tests or X-Rays your Doctor orders. In the past, I have used other facilities to have blood drawn for lab work. Even after scheduling an appointment ahead of time, I’ve waited up to an hour. I explained my frustrations with my Doctor. She told me, I could have my blood drawn at Holy Cross Out Patient. I decided to give it a try. My experience at the Out Patient part of Holy Cross have been above what I expected. The Out Patient Coordinators and Medical Staff have been the best. Everyone at Holy Cross works as a team to ensure every patient is their priority.
Lynda Pasternak
Everyone is great here from the organized Check in the pre & post op staff, the doctors, physical therapists and the nursing staff. Everyone is very polite, friendly & the nursing staff come right away when you need them. I love that you can dial the nurse directly on their phone when you need something. I also love the food menu, you order exactly what you want, and select a delivery time. Great hospital!
mary mcfadden
My sister and I had to take my mother to the emergency room at Holy Cross Hospital yesterday and were so impressed with the service that was provided. Going to an emergency room you dread the wait but there was none and we were taken right into a room and a doctor was with us within 10 minutes. Although we were there for 4 hours, the staff was excellent and very helpful. Thank you Dr. Peter Thompson and the great RN who assisted us!
Burt A
They really care. Everyone is nice. Thought Cleveland Clinic in Weston was the best, but, Cleveland Clinic was horrible, rude, the care was poor, staff didn't care, either, and they were in a rush to shuffle me out, lied to me, and I wound up going to Holy Cross in worse shape, 2-months later, because Cleve Clinic told me I would get better. Could have been life threatening. Holy Cross Emergency is the best and I have been there for inpatient and outpatient. Wonderful people who care. That experience I described was almost 2-yrs ago and I never reviewed it, but, took time to place this review because I was back at Holy Cross for outpatient. Every time, they are the best experience I've had with a hospital and I wanted to take time to say it
Martha Lodes
After suffering from severe shoulder pain I consulted with Dr. Kleinhenz who after ordering an MRI that showed several issues referred me to the Physical therapy unit
I received top of the line care by Dr. Kleinhenz and his staff and also by the physical therapist, Stanley Gutierrez who worked diligently with me until my shoulder became functional and free of pain. His total dedication and encouragement were impressive to say the least.
I am very thankful to everyone in that institution for the professionalism and quality of care I received

When I was told,that I needed to have surgery done , I was a little apprehensive. I didn’t know anything about Holly Cross hospital and I didn’t know what to expect. But for my surprise, I’ve never been so well taken care of. By the second I got there, I was treated like a VIP . Everyone was so polite and warm. They had a hole team around me, assuring me that everything was going to be ok , they told me step by step what was happening and that made a lot of difference to me. After I went to the surgery room, with the best doctor in what he does Dr. Michael Perez , they took care of my wife, making sure she knew exactly what was happening to me at all time. Needles to say. I really believe, that Holly Cross hospital was the best option that I could have made. They have exceeded all expectations. I just want to thank all the staff, nurses and doctors who so professionally took care of me.
anthony cerillo
Most amazing place to have a baby. Staff and nurses are so friendly and professional. Gave me such a respect for nurses and how much they do. Love this hospital and would highly recommend anyone looking for a place to have their baby. They did a fantastic job making sure baby was safe and healthy and comforting my wife . Everyone is very friendly and compassionate
ruthie525 bowen
Very kind nurses, doctors; attentive staff coming to check on my dad every hour; very informative about heart failure; thankful to have them
Wilmer Medina
I am the one person that hates hospitals with a passion, but, Holycross made my last experience great. Staff was prompt and professional, first time I see an emergency lobby emptied. Doctors were very good listeners and professional at every level. I thank every staff member for being there providing their service at 3am in the morning. I have very high respect and give them 2 thumbs up. Thank you again.
April Rivera
I recently went to the Er because i had fallen getting out of the shower and split open my head. The wait was about 5 minutes and when Dr examined She wanted to put staples in my head i refused since i suffer from migraines so she stitched closed the wound using my own hair. I was very shocked such a thing could be done and glad that the Dr respected my wishes and found a more suitable solution. They were very nice and respectful. I would recommend anytime.
Cynthia Tejada
I went there with gallbladder stones..so much pain but honestly, even through that, the nurses that helped me were above and beyond. So kind and knowledgeable. They never hesitated to help explain something to me that I didn't understand. The names I can remember from the top of my head are Desi, Mike, Georgia and Cody.
Thank you, thank you for all that you do.
Best hospital experience I have ever had. Bless you all
Patty Sardanelli
I was in the ER at Holy Cross Hospital on 3/5/20. I had severe stomach and bowel pain. They took care of me in short time and after blood tests and a CT scan I was diagnosed quickly. I have been to this ER in the past and each time I’ve received excellent care. They are caring and the doctors and nurses are the best. I wouldn’t go anywhere else. if you need treatment of any kind, I would make sure my doctor is on staff here.
Connie Siniscalchi
Absolutely everyone there was kind, professional and really showed how much they care for you. Most impressive was the anesthesiologist who didn’t just stand at the end of the bed and rattle off what’s going to happen. She took the time, came next to the side of my bed at spoke with me not at me. RN’s, admissions, everyone was incredible. Truly a #1 hospital.
Jen Lafont
This is now my “to go to” hospital. I swear to God I felt like I was in good hands. Absolutely no worries. Everyone that worked their shift that night were very caring and made sure I was alright. They did a ct scan on my abdominal area and found something wrong. They immediately ran a ultrasound to get a closer look and just made sure they didn’t make a mistake. Everything came back good. Doctor T is an awesome doctor along with his nurses. He explained everything in a way that you can understand. Thank you, doctor T! Also the next day I get a call from one of the nurses. (I think she was a nurse) Her name is Willow. She called to follow up with me and asked if everything was ok with me. She said if I have any problems to call her, even if it’s months from now, that she’d do her best to help. That really warmed my heart to know that there’s still people that care. Choose this hospital. You won’t regret it.
MELANIE Redfield
I have had 2 orthopedic surgeries here. The first was an inpatient stay for total hip replacement and the second a same-day surgery for a partial knee replacement by makoplasty. From preregistration to imaging to post-op recovery, nursing, and even dietary, the staff are all so friendly and genuinely care for their patients. There are many helpful volunteers as well. The hospital was very clean and they are well organized so that wait times are minimal. I had high quality care and recommend this hospital for anyone undergoing an orthopedic surgery.
Stacie Chandler
I have been here with my mom who suffered a stroke one week ago. The staff are generally good and caring and the place is pretty well equipped, particularly the intensive rehab unit. I have a variety of observations/suggestions after being here with a 90-year-old woman. Much of it is to improve procedural processes. First, new patients and at least one family member should be orientated when the patient is admitted. The white boards are too small and crowded and require some explanation. Using a phone to call for assistance can be difficult for patients. Care staff should clearly identify themselves every time they talk to a patient. My understanding is that the social worker is the hub of the wheel and should be able to give a comprehensive report to families but that has not been our experience. Please be aware that both patient and family members are probably sleep deprived, disoriented and not at their best. Showing patience and being sure to explain things fully is key. And listen to family members. We can give you clues to the patients personality that may help you make wiser and more appropriate choices for this individual. There is a lot of good happening here but it is hidden by brisk and uncommunicative SOPs
Alena Misikova
I just got released from Holy Cross Hospital after my surgery. I would like to thank for incredible loving professional care from bottom of my heart. Thank you my surgeon Doctor Basu, for everything , I don’t have a pain no more. Thank you Steve RN , Sherry RN, Justyna RN for looking after me and encouraging me. Thank you Dawn Daley - charge nurse for spending time with me. Thank you Paige Phillips . And my special thank belong to all endoscopy staff - Dr.Bashir, Dr.Carragher,Sonia Anderson RN,Keren Gutierrez, Chris Lonetta for supporting me. I m exceedingly satisfied with your professionalism and commitment to excellent care.Your patience, kindness and understanding you gave me will never be forgotten. Thank you.
NT Mason
Dr Manzi and his assistant are great at Rio Vista practice. Highly recommend him as a primary care.
He is very knowledgeable and takes his time to explain everything about my medical issues or questions I may have. Never felt rushed or disrespected. Very friendly and makes you feel comfortable in his office. Same for his assistant I think Tammy.
I wish I could tell the same thing for their front desk stuff. That's why they get 4 stars. Any Holy cross Medical group practice I've been to front desk is always the issue. They don't answer the phones for appointments. Rio vista never have the phone line open before 830 or later even though practice is opens at 8am! They're very rude with their attitude. When arrived for appointment front desk stuff doesn't greet or makes you feel welcomed.
When checking out after visiting Dr. Manzi they act like we bothered them for being there. Shame for such a nice doctor to have to deal with terrible front desk stuff.
Stephen Curland
I have no idea where to begin! But I am certainly going to give it a shot because it is well deserved as the staff from the doctors to the nurses to the technicians to the administration to the maintenance and everybody else I came into contact we're very professional, and excellent at their jobs, but in my case most importantly extremely loving and considerate!
I am a transgender woman and right away they acknowledged me and refered to me only by female pronouns. That is very important to someone like me. I was very frightened when I came in as I couldn't breathe and I was in tears and scared for my life. And it was only minutes before I knew I was in good hands and felt loved and cared for and under fabulous care.
Thank you so much for being so kind I love you all! Stephanie Curland
Nubia Carbonneau
I went to the ER last night due to severe lower back pain, one of my legs was falling asleep and I had a tingling sensation on my buttocks. I was registered and taken in very fast, even though it was a full house. I was in so much pain tears where coming out of my eyes involuntarily, and I could barely stand or sit. Sophia one of the nurses noticed and came over to help me right away. Her genuine compassion and care made a huge difference on my treatment at such a tough moment. The Doctor was also very nice, and worked on helping me to lower my pain quickly, which was extremely appreciated. I haven't been on an ER in years but I do remember how dreadful it can be sometimes, caregivers can become aloof and you just could sit there for hours without help. This was so not the case at Holy Cross, everyone in the emergency room was friendly and diligent, they took excellent care of me. Particularly Sophia, an angel from heaven that came to my aide when I thought I was going to pass out in pain.
Jane Brownley
Appointment with Dr. Armand Rodriguez was excellent.
Then I had lab work at Holy Cross Hospital Outpatient. The phlebotomist
Was very friendly and did an excellent
Job drawing my blood.
The registration at outpatient was also excellent. I waited a very short time.
I was very pleased with the service.
Larry Denecker
I went into the emergency room at midnight with a very high fever and muscle aches and lymph node swelling. Even though it was in the middle of the night on a weekend, they immediately went to work and did an extensive amount of testing. (Ie. COVID, Streep throat, blood cultures, blood tests, EKG, chest X-ray, extensive additional blood tests, and started me on several antibiotics). By 4 pm that day they had figured it out, and gave me the right medicine to take care of my issue. I cannot say enough good stuff about the professional and extensive staff that they had as well as the friendliness and professionalism of the entire hospital staff. I am so glad I went there and I will continue to go to Holy Cross as my hospital of choice. I highly recommend it!!
Richard Chosid
I was attended to immediately. The EMS crew from Lighthouse Point were very efficient, knowledgeable and friendly. They initially assisted the hospital ER staff and were called away on another emergency. The Holy Cross ER staff and doctors were kind and helpful, fully explaining everything that they were doing. They were cautious and very professional and provided me with helpful suggestions regarding my follow-up.
They are the best!
Catherine Perez
My daughter and I went to HC yesterday evening for a concussion. The hospital was clean and pleasant and staff was incredible and efficiently processed her. From triage nurse to physicians assistant and finally to seeing the emergency physician, my daughter was well cared for and treated with a thorough assessment and options carefully explained. We both agreed if we ever have another emergency, we will return to Holy Cross without hesitation!
Kesh Mac
I had my little girl there last month. I got induced, Vaginal and no epidural & It was a great experience! The nurses were nice, catered to my every need while in labor and my doctor was amazing! However, when it came to Billings , everyone seems so confused. I was a self paid patient & I kept getting different quotes from them and it seems to be either a lot of hidden fees or they’re just not organized, sending me bills even after I already paid in full before delivery. In that aspect, they need to do better!
Nicol Pirrazzi
From start to finish Holy Cross Hospital by far exceeded my expectations in every possible way. Every single employee I encountered and engaged with was outstanding!! I want to especially thank the ER staff including my nurse Christine, practitioner Kaitlin and Dr. Cunha.
Vanessa
Receptionist at ER not the best when you walk in. But once you are inside Dr. Sachedina was great! She had excellent bed side manners, she took her time to explain everything in details without and listened carefully to my concerns.
Relatively quick service considering you’re at the ER.
I went to a different hospital before and I had to leave because the wait was ridiculous. We had sat there for at least 35 minutes after signing in without them even acknowledging us.
Kathy Cu
I've had numerous visits to Holy Cross where the best of the best is on hand. Cannot express my thankfulness of the sincere attention and professional services the entire staff has performed. They have honestly saved my life a dozen time from cancer/open heart surgery/and up coming soon valve replacement. So from someone who does know from experiences Holy Cross is my savior. GOD BLESS ALL
nicole Ung
Holy cross Hospital is the most accommodating hospital for families of patients. It is a big help when patients have to stay in the hospital for long periods of time. The doctors are top notch. My surgeon, Dr David is the best. He tells you exactly how long the pain should last and for how many days, and he is always correct. I had open chest surgery , and it hurt for barely a day and a half!
R L
Other than the ER, I’d never been inside this hospital before. It’s beautiful.
Every person I met, from check in to discharge, was amazing. I’m extremely grateful for the quality of care I received.
Breanna Hoffman
I honestly have never seen better pediatric care. The doctor took good care to talk directly to my daughter (6yrs old). She had found an insulin pin outside and picked it up out of curiosity and poked herself. He got to her level, explained the situation, taught her why and how the item works, explained to her the dangers of touching items she doesn’t understand. And was careful to make her feel comfortable and safe.
He was thorough to communicate with me, explain every expectation. He was very kind and I honestly never felt safer in the hands of a doc.
Marie-Chantal Galiano
My latest experience at Holy Cross Hospital has been a 5 star experience. I went two weeks ago to the Women's center for Mammogram and Bone Density. I was in and out of there in 45 minutes between registering, waiting and getting the tests done. Yesterday I went to the Hospital on Federal Hwy. because my doctor had requested an x-ray. I tried calling to make an appointment but I was told it is walk-ins only. I gave it a try. Went at 2:00 pm was in and out in 30 minutes. Registration took longer than the rest. Can't say anything bad about my experience so far. I have all my doctors at Holy Cross and all I heard was bad things. Not sure if they are referring to a different location, but both the ones I have visited I have nothing to complain about.
Vivian Arce
I had surgery the morning of 4-27-18. My Dr Daniel Gomez is amazing!!!!!!
Dr Gomez is the best! His entire surgical team is excellent! I was so scared but the whole team made me feel so much better. They all have wonderful attitudes,they're are very professional,attentive and caring.The surgery went very well and from the bottom of my heart, I thank everyone so much! They all did an amazing job! I stayed for the night and the RN'S were also very kind and caring.
KUDOS to all involved!!!!
Chris ScudderFLA
Needed to have an echocardiogram done. I called a few days earlier and was able to get a 9:00 AM appt. on MLK holiday ... nice! I got to the heart center at 8:40 and the receptionist checked me in. The entire process was quick and efficient. There was a mix up with the script the doctor’s office had written for the procedure, but they called to straighten it out while I waited. That took about 20 mins. Then the nurse/technician who was going to do the procedure came and got me. She was so nice and professional. She explained what she was going to do and we had some small chat during the procedure. It was all over in about 40 mins. I usually go to Holy Cross for various procedures and have had to be admitted on three separate occasions for different things. I have found patient care to be above average with caring and friendly staff.
James Capraro
ER was Fantastic. The staff was efficient and extremely courteous throughout my visit.
Had blood work and CAT scan done. I was in and out within 3 hrs.
Thank you Holy Cross for a wonderful experience.
Olga Vargas
The nurses and doctors are extremely professional. I was transported after leaving a medical center overdosed by a different “doctor” ( medical center of Fort Lauderdale) and when I was transported to the ER the staff were the most supportive and helpful support I had while going through a traumatic experience. This hospital is definitely 5.0 I don’t know why they aren’t rated higher. This ER saved my life and deserve an award. Thank you Holy Cross Hospital❤️
Jeanette Amodio
Every person I interacted with was kind and professional. The center was clean and relaxing , with plenty of seating available.
Dr Nassan was so kind and knew what she was doing. (As a nurse I can tell when they don’t .)
She even called me with my lab results and final ultrasound report and spoke to the doctor that she wanted me to see so I could get an appointment right away!
Darin Kosienski
Doctors there are very professional and care for there patients as do the nurses. Being a veteran in to much pain to go to Miami. Wife took me here they go above and beyond a job. Everyone I came in contact with thanked me for my service. As far as a staff you all go above and beyond to make me feel comfortable. I hope never have to come back but if I need you definitely will choose Holy Cross. Many Thanks
Jean-Bernard Roc
I went in to get a TEE (Echocardiogram) done, it was described to me as a somewhat routine procedure. Since it involved me getting fully sedated and a tube being inserted through my esophagus, I was quite nervous the few days leading up to it. Everyone involved with my experience was quite courteous, friendly and professional, including the young lady who registered me, the anesthesiologist, echo technician and my cardiologist. I am especially appreciative of Terry, my nurse for 3 hours, she is calm, cool, collected, sweet, caring and professional. While prepping me and then being at my side or checking on me during the nerve racking hour and a half lying there before the procedure, her presence/attention was so comforting, as it also was waking up after the procedure. Thanks Terry, you’re just an angel.
Denise Kenney
I have been a patient with several physicians of this hospital for at least 30 years and feel I made the right choice. On a couple occasions there were some issues like a nurse making several attempts to draw blood unsuccessfully or not liking a doctor or two but for the most part I really like every doctor who provides care for me and have been a well established patient of theirs for many years !! When being in the ER or admitted or going in for a specific procedure the staff always makes sure you are well provided and cared for.
David Strompf
I recently had some outpatient surgery on my left foot. The pre-op and post-op staff were amazing. They explained everything before I went in, and again after I was done.
Dr. Robert Mills, my surgeon, has a wonderful “bedside manner” and went over the surgery in detail with my wife and me before I was in the OR.
He also made sure that everything he told me while in recovery, was explained again to my wife so nothing was missed.
That’s the sign of an amazing doctor !
Sharalyn Vordermeier
Emergency room visit 5/13/19. Security, receptionist and staff were amazing. I was treated immediately upon arrival by Drs. Emily Brauer and Christopher Sweat. Superior service, explanations I could understand and wonderful treatment. Thank you to the assisting nurse too. Blessings and thanks to Holy Cross and all their employees.
Jérôme Lamarre
1st impression was loving and caring. The Creole speaking nurse was an angel. Soo kind and respectful.. Holy Cross be my guide, my protection and my light.🙏🙏 …
Paul Olson
I recently had to have an MRI & MRA. Because I have a pacemaker, Holy Cross has to find an opening and coordinate with my pacemaker manufacturer. The Scheduling Department and the MRI Radiology teams went above and beyond. I felt their concern and compassion throughout the whole process. I can’t thank them enough for making me feel comfortable and assured everything was under control.
Karina Madrid
Took my 7 yr old son to the emergency room was taken in to room within 10mins. Fast service great service. Great nurses and doctors. Gave us his diagnosis less then an hour and we were out within an hour with the prescription. Love how fast and great they are!!!!!
Stuart Smith
For a stressful situation personally, with the help of the outstanding team in the ER, my stress dropped immediately! Outstanding experience. The two attending doctors were extremely informative and attentive. As were the nursing staff, chest X-ray technician and the lab. I can't express how well they did individually as well as a team. Truly an all-star team! Best of all there was only a few minutes of waiting in the ER before they took me in.
Melissa Mallo
I went to the ER & was pleasantly surprised with the overall service. The renovations really were a much needed “facelift “. The staff, nurses & Doctors were on their “A” game as usual. Very professional organization & the dedication to the health of all patients
was evident. Many Thanks!!
Shawndra Smailek
I had an outpatient procedure and dealt with several nurses so I can’t remeber all of their names (Marissa and Jennifer were 2 of them I think) but they were all very compassionate and showed a lot of empathy. Even the anesthesiologist and Dr took a lot of time to explain everything to me. I had a great experience.
A Vila (Missy)
Got a colonscopy July 15, 2021 with Dr. Patrick Amar. Everyone at the outpatient clinic was amazing. Special thanks to Michelle C. (front desk), to the clinical crew Marirsa, Amanda, Lana, Alice, Keren, Tracy and Sonia. Procedure went well and thank God result were favorable with a clean bill of health. Thank you all!!
Virona Hardison
Wow, what can I say about Dr. Gosthe !! I had total hip replacement done and within 2 weeks, I’m using a cane. I had minimal pain during this time & it’s been well-controlled. He’s given me my life back.
Varouj Aghyarian
Er staff and doctors very professional and caring I would recommend this hospital and any emergencies go here. My wife and I live in west Palm and drove down best decision we made to come here! They saved my wife’s life! Thank you!!!!
Tomas Bond
I went in to Holly Cross Hospital for my first colonoscopy recently , just for a precautionary measure from recently turning 65 and for peace of mind ..
Dr. P. AMAR and staff were so professional and experienced, During all phases of the this procedure I was well informed of each step from the reception room by all staff at Holy Cross Hospital. I was made to feel very comfortable by each department from the greeting room , to prep room and the procedure room finally the recovery room.
I thank each and everyone of the staff at Holy Cross Hospital for all their help and kindness
I also thank you all for your dedication in the medical field. I felt very comfortable knowing I was surrounded by all experienced staff.
Thank you Dr.Amar and staff as well no pain afterwards just peace of mind.
I would recommend your professionalism to all.
Lorenzo Clemons
Great care was given as soon as I arrived in ER. I was treated with great dignity and kindness. PA Garrett gave great comfort in explaining and executing a procedure. Nurse Ken explained every step and gave great sports talk to an old college Ref like me! Nurse Linda provided the warm blankets as well as family talk when it was realized my wife, who was there with me and I both served in the US Air Force! She shared her Air Force life and that honored us. Nurse Stepany was a joyous bundle of energy which kept me relaxed at being there. Sasha, was pleasant and caring while taking me information. Being a snowbird can be daunting away from home, however Holy Cross Hospital and staff made me very comfortable and part of a family who cares about my wellness! Thank You!

Emergency Room Review, Feb 2018. Needed to come to here with my sister on Sunday late afternoon after she was feeling sick, and all I can say about the Hospital staff Nurses and Doctors was that they are all top quality. They took great care of my sister and ran all sorts of tests and checked for every possible type symptom and cause of her illness. The Doctor actually took time to talk to my sister and not rush out of the room. After a few hours she was released.
Also, the Security at the Hospital was fabulous and made me feel safe. Not like the New York Hospitals that let anyone in without asking for ID. I actually had to show my ID and take a photo at the Front Desk before entering the Hospital to see my sister - NY Hospitals should follow this same procedure. So, thank you Holy Cross Hospital, Emergency Room staff for taking great care of my sister.

Recently went to ER-the resident-med student and attending went above and beyond! However I would like to recognize the most amazing Registered Nurse-PETER-he was the most respectful, kind, intelligent nurse I have encountered in my many years w many hospitalizations! He really deserves a kudos or award as I witnessed his treatment of other patients and staff and his behavior was always professional and admirable!!!

Yesterday I had the most amazing experience at Holy Name Hospital ER. This place is a CLASS ACT. Within 5 minutes of registering with the lovely receptionist I was ushered into a room. A PA Jeff came in within 5 minutes to learn what my problem was, he was followed by a team of friendly professionals who administered an EKG then did blood work. This experience was so different than the ER in New York where I once waited for 3 hours for a similar problem to be addressed. I left after 3 hours never being seen by anyone only to return to another ER 48 hours later by ambulance. After my blood work was reviewed yesterday, Dr. Robert Thompson came in to speak with me and make future recommendations. This morning I received a call from the hospital asking how I felt, and Willow then called the recommended MD's office to set up an appointment for me next week. I have never received such great care from a medical unit in my life.
I felt like I was at the Mayo Clinic. If any of my friends or family are ever in need of a hospital while in Broward County this is the place to be.
Thank you to all the staff.

Dr Leone is by far one of the most knowledgable, and caring Orthopedic Surgeon ever. I had bilateral hip replacements and he continues to care for me now. I also love that Holy Cross recognizes Veterans. I hope I never have to return but it is Doctor Leone and Holy Cross Hospital all the way!!!
Linda Willey
Such caring professionals! During a recent visit to the ER, my husband was treated with the utmost care and concern. The nurses, physician assistants and the doctors all took the time to talk with my husband and listened to his concerns. We are from Maryland and we were vacationing in Ft Lauderdale when the pain from a herniated disc became overwhelming. He wasn’t sure if he was going to be able to endure the 2 hour plane ride home. Thanks to the ER staff at Holy Cross Hospital we were able to get back home. Surgery is probably in the near future. Thank you again for all you do. God Bless you!

This review is only for Willow Kogelschatz. She is the guest relations manager for Holy Cross. She was amazing and I can not express how important she was during my time at Holy Cross. She was indispensable. She goes above and beyond the call of duty in order to help the patients.

As part of my annual physical I got a CT scan of my lungs. Promptly thereafter a biopsy was taken an cancer was detected. Surgery was recommended and promptly scheduled and executed. Due to the rapid response to my condition I will not need chemo or radiation therapy. Thank you to the staff of Holy Cross for making my future available to me . Love you guys and gals!!!

On October 14th-October15th,2019 I had a very good experience when calling the scheduling department for some test that needed to be done at Holy Cross Hospital. From the first day everyone there was polite,courteous and knowledgeable about their jobs. Two day’s of different tests and I was there in and out in about hour. Thank you for your care !!
Irene Yovu
Everyone was so attentive and professional.
I am super impressed.
Small area that needs improvement is to have some food, such as a small sandwich, after outpatient surgery. A graham cracker is not enough.
Come on, after not eating from 5 pm the day before and to come out of surgery at 1 or 2 pm, to not have a small meal or smack, seems like you are missing the boat from being a good hospital to a great hospital.
Something for you to look at. I had a headache by that time. Sure I can miss a meal or 2, but as I said this separates the good facility from great.

My Primary Care Doctor ordered an X-ray of my right foot on a Tuesday. I went to Holy Cross the following day to have it done. I had a written order
from my Doctor. I was given directions at the front desk and was checked in within a few minutes after arriving at the Diagnostics area. A tecnician fetched me right away and had me on the X-ray table lickety-split. Everyone I came into contact with was kind and polite. My Doctor received the X-Ray report that same day. As much pain as I was in it was a pleasant experience. The only reason I didn’t give 5 stars is because there was no parking. They have a Valet service that was backed up. If there was additional parking for self parking folks like myself I sure didn’t see any signs. Other than that I will use Holy Cross
again without hesitation.

I am a Snow Bird from Canada. Very reluctant to get health care in USA.
But had no choice because of extreme pain.check in at Emergency was quick and efficient. My vitals were checked within a few minutes.
Dr. Uguccioni saw me at once and diagnosed my problem immediately .
He was very professional,informative and friendly.
The nurses and technicians were attentive and efficient.
I am feeling much better and thankful for the care and attention. My insurance provider took care of the cost.

I was admitted to the hospital this season 3
Times and the care was excellent.
The doctors and nurses were wonderful. I also used the wound center and it was very good. I
Had a large cut on my knee that needed 38 stitches. The wound started at home with a fall
On the ice. When I got to Fl it was not doing well
One of the nurses in the ER suggested the wound. clinic and I had Dr SCANNELL he was
wonderful.
I now use him as my PCP .
I have Dr Whitmore as my Pulmonary Doctor
He is terrific I also have Dr Ross as my urologist like him very much.
I also have Dr Drew as my hematologist.
I have had him for several years and he is kind
Caring and a wonderful man. Highly recommended.

Amazing ER staff. Despite being very busy and dealing with several patients, they found time to be caring, talk to me and even make jokes to calm me down. I would give a 5 star rating for the staff, but wish the wait time hadn’t been so long between admittance and discharge. Hope they hire more amazing staff!
Elaina Sontag
This will be my second surgery at Holy Cross Hospital. From the moment I arrive at the complimentary valet to the time I leave everything runs very smoothly. The check in greeters are very helpful and polite as are the technicians for testing.
This facility deserves six stars.
Sarit Pemberton
I was an International patient of Holy Cross Hospital in February 2016 and my family and I had an excellent experience. We decided on Holy Cross Hospital because they advertised family oriented care we wanted our older son to be a part of the experience when his brother was born. Our first contact was Adriana at International Patient services- she was very friendly and really went above and beyond to help us with all of our arrangements. We were assigned to Dr Calvo's clinic and both she and her nurse Wendy were fabulous. When we arrived in Ft. Lauderdale to prepare for the birth of our baby, we dealt with Tara for payments etc- she was such a lovely lady and very professional. Then we ended up at the emergency room at 11:30pm- I was dealt with immediately and the staff was very very efficient. We were taken up to the Labour and Delivery ward where we met Nurse Desiree- she was so great at her job and helped us calm down in a very anxious situation. When it was decided that we were going to do an emergency C- section the staff at the Labour and Delivery ward watched our sleeping son so my husband could go into the theatre with me (we can't thank them enough for that). In the theatre the aneasthiologist was so reassuring that I forgot all about my fear of having numb legs. Dr. Adeboyejo did the C-section and she was amazing. When we were moved to the maternity ward we met Nursing Technician Esther who was was such a wonderful person- she actually wrote my older son's name as "big brother" on the board in the room with his baby brother's name and that meant the world to him. Then we met Nurse Patricia and later on Nurse Shelly- they really and truely were great at their jobs- they were very attentive and offered so much assistance and words of encouragement with breast feeding and I will always be grateful. We also met Dr Neustater- our son's Pediatrician- a wonderful doctor with lots of spunk and we had all the confidence in her. The room service food was great and we even got a birthday cake for baby!!! Our overall experience at Holy Cross Hospital was really and truely excellent.
Sheri Aquino
Pete my nurse was sooo nice and friendly! Actually everyone was nice and friendly. I was taken right in and went very quickly and smooth. The only reason I gave 4 stars is the doctor was not friendly and didn’t explain everything to me.
Kristyn Lette
My sugery team & recovery team was absolutely AMAZING!!! Around the clock care, smiles with every knock, they helped me understand to the FULLEST no question went unanswered. Great Hospital, Great Team & Teamwork, & Very Knowledgeable & Professional. Thank you All for wonderful care & recovery! This is the only place I will ever go in time of need and worth the 45 min drive from Miami!!
Emma
quick ER and amazing staff. I had my first born there and would have loved to have my 2nd there as well. Sadly my OB did not deliver at Holy Cross the 2nd time around. Recently went in for an ovarian cyst rupture and had amazing care as always!
Alexandria Martinez
Dr. Fraser-Damas at Gallagher was highly recommended! I decided to try a visit with her as a new patient since I have recently moved to the area and needed a new PCP. She was prompt, welcoming, and resourceful! She took the time to listen and did not rush. Her nurse was welcoming and smiley as well. The front office staff was professional. I left the office pleased with new refills and referrals!

Maternity ward is newly renovated.
Professional Doctors and Specialists.
Nurses make you feel comfortable.
Wouldn't go anywhere else.
My daughter was born in December of 2016 by an emergency c-section, after a successful procedure she was transferred to the NICU for the remainder of our stay. During that time the entire staff in the maternity ward went above and beyond to make sure we were informed and comfortable while waiting for her return to health. We had a breastfeeding specialist to work with mom and had 24 hour access to baby in the NICU. Where we were always greeted by someone giving us updates on her progress over the last few hours. We were discharged in less than a week and have a beautiful, healthy baby girl. I'm writing this review almost a year later because of my recent experience with other hospitals in the area. The level of care offered at other facilities are nowhere near this hospital. I will never go anywhere else.
Corey Grogan
My surgeon uses this hospital. I wouldn’t give him 5 stars, maybe 3. This is a ver nice hospital and all the staff I interacted with there were very nice. Went through ER, CT, outpatient and stayed over night on the 4th floor. My night nurse Chyna and daytime RN STARR were both great and very helpful. Even 3 hrs after I was discharged Starr went out of her way to try and fix my prescription debacle that my surgeon crated. I would give them more stars if that was possible.
Jon Grant
Holy Cross staff are excellent. Nurses, Allison , Peir, and Minerva and all of the support staff are courteous intelligent and timely. The food is marginal but delivered on time.
My Doctor Kevin Wang and the entire surgical staff are top notch and instill confidence. The procedure went without incident and the same day I was up walking the floor of the hospital.
I would strongly recommend this team and robotic knee replacement surgery to anyone considering having this procedure done.

I love holy cross hospital. I live 7 minutes from plantation hospital and about 12 mins from Broward medical and I will not go to those hospitals. I'd rather go out my way to Holy cross Hospital. The staff is very kind and caring. You sign in and the receptionist are awesome. The hospital is very clean and well lighting. There isnt a long wait. Your checked in and taken straight to a room. The Drs are very caring. I just love everything about this hospital. I was just there sunday for a broken finger. Thank you Everyone for your kindness. You will always get a recommendation from me
Wanda Green
The greeting staff is gentle, kind and efficient! I’ve never met any better anywhere! My treatments, quite lengthy in time and spanning over two days was absolutely perfect! The nurse/technicians were beyond patient with me and my slowness, explaining the entire process
clearly and so very caring and gentle; never hurrying or deserting at any time and always taking time to care for me! This was an EXCELLENT EXPERIENCE. Thanks to each of you. wanda & Cozette
Gail Sarkisian
I am reviewing my experience with Holy Cross in reference to Dr Hermida from the Holy Cross Orthopedic Institute. I give him and his staff a 5! They did everything they could to help me when I was in excruciating pain. They squeezed me in for an appointment even though I was a patient of another doctor. Once there, the doctor saw me in a timely manner and did not keep me waiting. The nurses were wonderful and cheerful. When I found out I had to get an MRI, Dr. Hermida’s receptionist Kellyn set everything up with us waiting in the office. I was so thankful for taking the time to do this for me. She checked around until she found a Holy Cross facility that would take me that very day. Dr. Hermida is incredible. I have nothing but good things to say about my experience with this Holy Cross doctor and his staff. Excellent!!! Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
Cathy
The staff from the minute I walked into the emergency room were above and beyond. The doctors and nurses were so kind and able to help with my issues. Always checking on me and giving any feedback from tests performed. I was given medication by the doctor which greatly helped. Great hospital.
Janice DiLorenzo
When Dr. Fernando Manalac at the Orthopedic Institute thought I should be given an ultrasound to rule out a clot in my leg, he and his excellent staff immediately arranged a test at HC Hospital. I was greeted and tested by s very professional staff and within an hour was cleared. I have only had outstanding experiences with the Institute and the imaging staff.
Robert Lasorsa
Regarding Doctors Velez and Rashid. I called and made an appointment for an examination in June of 2019, as I have had skin cancer for the past 5 years and my last doctor had retired. Dr. Velez's staff told me to forward my file prior to my appointment for the exam. I did so.
I showed up timely for my exam. Dr. Velez promptly informed me he does not preform examinations, only chemically treats skin cancer when it is found. Two minutes of his time that day. He said Dr. Rashid was the man to see. I clearly made an appointment for an examination. I again showed up timely. Dr. Rashid promptly informed me he does not do examinations. He only surgically removes cancer when it is found. Again, two minutes of his time that day. I quietly complained that day to the office staff that I made two appointments for an examination and did not receive one. No rational response was given. The office staff referred me to a doctor off site (not in the Holy Cross system).
After six months of civil contact disputing the charges, Holy Cross charged me for "consultations." I never needed nor received a consultation. I needed an exam.
I requested an exam from my first contact with their office. In February of 2020 I have had my credit score dropped by these greedy non-professionals due to the fraudulent billing for services that were never rendered, and consultations that were not necessary and never happened.The billing department has had me fax my written statement of what transpired and always agreed I did not get what I made appointments for, but they said they had no authority.
I am disappointed by the lack of professional service and remain personally damaged by the contrived language to justify the bills.
Esther Brown
I had a surgical procedure last month. Top notch. Staff and process from admissions to pre op nursing, and then on the floor.
Great food and facilities ! Hospitality is fabulous! The also love veterans and made me very comfortable.

When I had both of my knees replaced at the same time, my three day stay was as good as anyone could expect for a brutal procedure. The care was great and the staff was always attentive. So this was the logical choice for an emergency.
Before the ambulance guys even got me to a room, I was met by my nurse, Donna. She was very sweet and efficient. I noticed all evening that she was always singing softly as she worked. It was interesting, as she had a nice voice and it had a calming effect on me. It also made me think that she enjoys her job, which always makes the care better.
Within just a couple of minutes, Dr. Thompson arrived. I have shoes older than this guy (yes, really), which tends to make me nervous. However, he was very good. He explained everything he was going to do as well as the reasons why he was doing it. When he asked me if I needed a blanket, I was surprised, generally doctors don't do that. I was floored when he went out and came back with two blankets himself! I have never seen a doctor actually do that. He told me that was the way they do things in their ER. He immediately ordered some medications which were delivered promptly and I felt better fairly soon.
Within 15 minutes of coming through the doors, I'd seen the nurse, the doctor, the lab work was in process and I was on my way to X-ray. Later there was an EKG. Everything was done quickly and professionally by really nice people. I was checked on frequently to see if I needed anything. If I did, they took care of it.
This is my second trip to this emergency room, and while both have been a positive experience, this time was exceptional.
Wendy Dunbar
Staff was great post-op and pre-op. Casey (nurse) always made sure I was comfortable and constantly checking to see if I was ok. Doctor Wodicka is a fantastic surgeon and called to check up on me the next morning. I’m very pleased with my doctor and the staff at Holy Cross.
Scott Kaye
The staff were so amazing because of how caring they were with each person they talk with.
They introudced themselves to me explained what they were going to do. Ask me medical questions so I could receive the BEST CARE.
The doctor was behind schedule because of the length of one operation. His staff updated me until it was my turn.
In the recovery area I was givien delicious gram crackers and cranberry juice before the pain pill.
They came we complete instructions what to do after surgery.
Thank you Holy Cross and the wonderful Angeles that cared for me.
D Saff
I went in for severe sharp pain in my left rib, shoulder blade area. Got to the ER, walked to the receptionist, mind you I could barely breathe (fractured rib) so I could barely talk, she was so sweet, checked me right in. Got me back. Doctor came right in. It was like a well oiled machine. Everyone was efficient. Cared. Empathetic. I was super impressed. Beats the heck out of Broward any day. I'm thankful for the staff (from the reception to clinical) that was helping me.

Holy Cross is a 571 bed nonprofit Catholic Hospital sponsored by the Sisters of Mercy offering general as well as emergency medical services. It also has specialized concentrations in the areas of cancer treatment, orthopedics, bariatrics and cardiovascular.
I've always found the services at Holy Cross to be outstanding, friendly and supportive. Indeed they have one of the finest heart/cardiovascular teams in the country and are active in the areas of heart research.
Tulisa LaRocca
What an absolutely amazing experience I received the highest quality care during my stay at Holy Cross. Sharon the medical assistant and June were professional and caring. They truly showed me personal attention during a challenging medical stay.
Colby Ardis
Very compassion care. ER Doctors and nurses greeted us with smiles. Quick and very thorough. Dr Johnatan Balakumar was very competent and personally put in the required 25 stitches in my hand (22) and head above left eye (3) from a very bad fall. Highly recommend Holy Cross Emergency Room.
Jackie Hardemon
I really had a great experience. But this one nurse in the preop department. I thought was very rude her name is Dorothy did get her last name, I was very offended with a remark she said to me. Before my procedure she said you look like a trouble maker, I had no words with this lady prior to her saying that, I was very upset with her. I also feel like she is racist with the comment she make.
Joseph Swidas
I am a new patient in the Holy Cross system and yesterday afternoon had a cardiac catheterization performed.
As I am home now, I wanted to take the time to write a short note to recognize the outstanding care I received from nurse Harmony B. in the Cardiac Catheterization Center. In my history with medical care, as in-patient and out-patient, there are always those experiences that stand-out, both outstanding, and not so good. Yesterday was one that I felt the need to recognize as an excellent experience, in the care of an outstanding nurse, one that Holy Cross is blessed to have on staff. Nurse Harmony B. took me into the Cath Lab and cared for me throughout aftercare, eventually discharging and taking me down curbside as my ride pulled around for pick up. In that 5 hour period I was made aware of her great compassion, knowledge and intuition to recognize when a patient needed some assurance in the after-care experience. She is a rare mix of genuine compassionate care and professional critical thinking. I want to thank Harmony B. for making a not so pleasant procedure a much more pleasant one on my healthcare journey. God bless and thank you.
The House of Flying Cards
Had our daughter here and the treatment we got from the nurses was VIP, better than many hotels and restaurants. Compassionate staff and home like environment made it a pleasure to stay here for one our life's most important events. Great cafeteria food as well contrary to hospital food stereotypes.
Karina K
I been at this facility for family members and for myself. From the ER to the floor, every and each person, from nurses, doctors, non medical personal, the service that provide is exceptional. They are courteous, anticipated to your needs, willing to help in any way they can to ease your illness.
I have only good things to say about this hospital.
Thank you
Rita Conroy
I have had very good experiences at Holy Cross Hospital for all my medical needs. My doctor, Doctor Copen, is part of the Holy Cross Medical Team and has been my primary doctor for the past 7 years. It is so convenient to go there with valet parking and all facilities contained within walking distance from, bloodwork to x-rays in the imaging department. I highly recommend Holy Cross Hospital and the Medical Team of doctors they staff.
Pete Forcelli
While travelling in Pennsylvania, I was diagnosed with a “density” on my lower right lung. Being a survivor of the 9/11 terror attacks on the World Trade Center, I immediately knew I would have a problem, even though I’ve never smoked in my life. I flew home and saw my primary care doctor, Dr. Dolchin and began a series of tests that confirmed my worst fears. Dr. Dolchin referred me to an Oncologist (Dr. Lessen) and a thoracic surgeon, (Dr. David). Each of these doctors and their teams were truly amazing. They were caring, responsive and thorough.
A decision was made to remove my right lower lung through a thorocotomy, which is a pretty significant procedure. This truly scares the hell out of me because I had never had a surgical procedure before. My entire medical team kept reassuring me, while being very honest and candid about what I was about to face regarding pain, treatment and the healing process.
I had the surgery on 10/16/17. I will say very honestly that EVERY single person I dealt with from Holy Cross was amazing. From the staff that cleaned my room to the nurses and surgical team, each person was a true professional. Even many of my visitors commented about the great job they did in every aspect of my visit.
I owe Doctor David, Doctor Dolchin and Doctor Lessen my life. Their staffs too. I went into Holy Cross expecting a good, acceptable medical experience. I left the hospital actually feeling like I was the most important person in that hospital (which I’m damned sure I’m not). They truly are professionals. The best I’ve seen so far.
Keep up the good work Holy Cross!
Frank B.
I Went to Holy Cross for a CT Monogram and I was extremely nervous due to injections to my spine. However I was overwhelmed w joy on how professional and full of giving me preparation for the test. Due to the way they made me feel truly relaxed me and actually we had many laughs during the procedure.
The Best of the Best and couldn't be more thankful then I am.
Brett M
I arrived at approximately 5am having the flu for 5 days prior. The hospital staff was excellent and great bed side manner. Dr. Beach was one of my appointed doctor. Very polite and very thorough. They took blood and the results came back for the most part normal. However I had some tenderness on my right side and had extreme nausea which they gave me 2 different medications the 1st is zofrin which did nothing and the 2nd one is metoclopramid, which worked well. They ordered a ultrasound for my right side. Come to find out I had pneumonia on my right lung. At that point they said it's not bad so you can manage it at home. Which I had no problem with however the problem was extreme nausea and they gave me a prescription for which is no where near the effectiveness of the injectable into you IV. So they discharged me. This is now the 3rd home and I have been suffering tremendously with nausea. Kinda of dissappointed because I believe I should have been admitted at least for a day or 2 😒😒
Mercedes Stevens
First time in a long time, that I have actually gone to a hospital and every employee from Doctor to housekeeper was genuinely nice,caring,nurturing, compassionate. Medically they knew what they were doing. I’m here with my 96 year old mom I just want to thank you all for the great professional care that was provided.

Robyn Sztyndor
I was very pleased with the care and treatment of Holy Cross. I was in a lot of pain from a terrible ear infection and throat infection. I had previously seen a doctor that gave me the wrong antibiotics so while I was waiting to improve, I got much worse.
At that point, I was in a lot of pain and ended up going in the middle of the night to the ER. The doctors were very good. I had Dr Karl Svoboda who explained everything to me and gave me an injection that really helped with the inflammation and pain. He was great. I also was seen by P.A. Brian who was very attentive to my needs and closely watched my temperature.
I am still very ill but the course of the proper antibiotics they gave me are starting to work. That is a huge relief especially after learning all the time on the wrong antibiotics did nothing but make me much worse until I went to Holy Cross.
A. M.
Dr. Font performed a TEE 11.29.17. He is extremely knowledgeable & professional. He explained the details to me and kept me at ease. Eva was my nurse yesterday morning & she took great care of me. Excellent teamwork at Holy Cross Vascular center. I highly recommend this hospital!

I fell on my knee and went to Holy Cross and was treated very quickly and professionally.
The staff were all kind and caring. My daughter in law who is a nurse in Washington stated "this was truly is an amazing hospital "
Thank you
Hubert Allred
I love Holy Cross Hospital and have been to almost every department from the ER to being inpatient and have always had a great experience with outstanding staff. The only issue is I am trying to find the hours online to the outpatient lab department and cannot find them. I have been all over your website with no luck. Maybe update your web site to be more user friendly would be helpful. Thanks again for always being there for me.
Phyllis Trainor
Excellent appointment at diagnostic imaging. On time test was completed with professional friendly staff. Our first visit. Very impressed
Returned this year for hip replacement. I cannot believe how efficiently this hospital is run!!
Lisa Hastye
Since moving here five years ago, every medical decision I make includes Holy Cross. They are efficient and have great bedside manners. You will not hear them chatting about thier personal lives while you or your loved one needs care. They are always caring for patients or keeping the property clean. Thank you Holy Cross.
Darnella Thomas
Had to go to the emergency room Wednesday night, September 12, 2018. Doctor J. Cunha and staff were just the best. He deserves a big raise. So very kind, concerned and a really good listener. I have trouble swallowing pills and he took the time to go on his computer and find the liquid form of what I needed.
God bless Good Doctor’s and staff.😘
jamana nananam
My experience at Holy Cross was absolutely pleasant. The pre-op room may have been understaffed at one point during my time there, but the nurse on duty stepped up and handled the increased workload with a pleasing, helpful naature.
Lorrie Locey
Dr. John Cunha was fantastic in the ER and kept me informed all along the process and was very clear in explaining what was going on and asked if I had any questions!! Very genuine and passionate at what he does and an excellent ambassador to Holy Cross!
Joan Fossa
After having surgery yesterday, I want to praise the whole staff at Holy Cross Hospital. From the registration lady, Annie, to all the attending Nurses, Casey, Katharina, Eleanora, Gia, DJ, and Javier in post-op, I received warm and efficient care. Of course, the Anesthesialogist and Dr. Basu did superb work during my surgery. Thank you all and Holy Cross Hospital for being such a great facility. I feel very blessed.
Lena LK
I went in for an unexpected back surgery after taking a nasty spill. The triage team was quick and efficient. I cannot state that Dr. Matthew Moore was ever present except for the emergency surgery, not even for a post operation examination. Nurses were excellent.
Because I was not properly examined (I waited 3 hours in Dr. Moore's waiting room), they missed a spinal tear and spinal fluid began to leak and cause me months of pain. It also warranted me another surgery. When I went back for my second surgery, I was treated with the best care. Dr. Matos answered all my questions and concerns. They tried to make the process as easy as possible.
Besides the unpleasant (and fortunate I did not bring legal action) Dr. Moore, my stay at Holy Cross had been nothing but outstanding.
Belen Gonzalez
The hospital is excellent and the nurses too. However, a Ms. Sarah (client information) was very rude, even though we were just trying to find a patient's room. We did not claim her comunication style, but she was so rude that the people in line were embarrassed... She was very unpleasant...
Beth Bawidamann
This was my second experience at Holy Cross Hospital. From start to finish it was positive. From pre-op intake ladies, pre and post op nurses they were caring and professional. My physician is Dr. Basu. He offers detail explanations and open to answering questions. His staff is kind and courteous. They return phone calls and answer questions in a timely manner. I am very grateful to
the Holy Cross staff for making my experience a positive one.
Juanita Kingcade
Dr. Michael Uguccioni was amazing. He reassured me that he would get to the source of my pain and discomfort which he did. He was able to calm me down and eliminate my fears. The entire staff (from the young man who did my chest X-ray to the young lady that did my ekg) was professional and very caring including nurse Jessica (my apologies for not remembering the name of the young man and lady). I don’t like hospitals but if I had to be hospitalized I would definitely choose Holy Cross Hospital. Thank you Dr. Uguccioni and staff!
Winda De Leon
We are very pleased not only with the caliber of the doctors who took care of us, and the fact that the treatment was effective and efficient, but also with their kindness during a very difficult period for me and my family. You set a great example not only for the local community, but for the nation. We are tourists from New Jersey, and we could not have been in better hands. Very sincerely, on behalf of my family, THANK YOU.
kenneth iulo
Holy cross is a great Hospital of care. They make you feel comfortable and the Dr I dealt with Dr Drew is a pure professional in every way. He is Very thorough and makes you feel comfortable. I would recommend Holy Cross to anyone who needs a level of care.
Ricardo Martinez
Great service and human warmth. Special thanks to our nurse, Crystal; always attentive and ready to help - she made my dad's stay at Holy Cross a breeze. Highly recommended!
Raymond Searles
I needed to have a stent put in my artery at the Heart Center. Dr. Llanos did a great job, and the nursing staff was very friendly and helpful, and really made the experience as pleasant as could be under the circumstances. I would Highly recommend Holy Cross Hospital.
jaggededges
Great doctors and the best hospital in South FL in my opinion. Take all insurance only thing is some of nurses, appear they could care less about your condition or pain. They are small last time I was there but are multiplying. The good nurses are amazing though they will help with a smile and the others walk away while you're talking, roll there eyes yet it's your first question, and really act like they not being paid. However hope they won't last long, this is only hospital in South Florida i trust
Alexander Jones
Great surgery experience there. I knew I had the top foot surgeon in the country with Dr. Mills but felt that the Holy Cross surgical process was top notch and from walking in to being rolled out in the wheelchair. Would have another surgery here anytime!
Joy Albea
Staff in the Nuclear Imaging Center was professional and genuinely showed concern. Treated me like a real patient even though I work in the medical field. Skill level was up to par, demonstrated knowledge of the procedure and explained it step by step. Unit was clean and uncluttered. Another thing too, overhearing personnel interactions with each other was noted very friendly. I also observed that the staff shared the work load.

This was the second total knee replacement that I have received at Holy Cross with Dr Martin Roche. Outstanding surgeon and staff and the hospital staff from admissions to discharge was fantastic. Friendly and attentive at every step.
Nadia Behmann
Emergency Admission was fast, we were met by a competent doctor who recommended all the necessary tests. Xrays, Urine tests and Ultrasound were performed. Results were collected and reported in a timely manner.
Medicated patch and necessary medication were prescribed and we were discharged, fully satisfied with the results.
Staff was professional, compassionate and friendly.We are blessed to be served by your hospital.

As far as the doctors, nurses and patient care techs I give that part 5 stars.
As far as hospital cleanliness one star. Room was never cleaned nor the bathrooms. Beds are so old and uncomfortable also being a patient who had a transplant 5 1/2 yrs. ago, my safety of not getting an infection was overlooked as I was told I'm on a heart floor and nobody is sick plus being told the hospital was full is ridiculous I was rushed out of one room so fast when they found out something was wrong with the person in the other bed. Plus people come to visit and can bring in germs so for your safety maybe you want to think twice about going here.
Ursula Raab
I was very pleased with this office. They were pleasant but very much informed. They took me early and started on my test right away. The nurse or technician explained why I was there and told me what she was going to do. I was in and out in no time and had a full understanding of what was going on. Very professional.
mrclark822
Everyone at this hospital is well trained and courteous to my personal need. I am very impressed with the overall performance of my entire experience! Dr Rashid is no doubt the friendliest and complete physician I have ever met and he has my full trust to do whatever is needed for my care 👍 …

ERNA SCHNEIDERMAN
My husband had an unexpected. Discomfort/emergency the night before we were to leave on a cruise and our doctor in Atlanta sent us to Holy Cross to get checked out. We could not have been treated better anywhere!
Staff is perfectly responsive, professional and extremely lovely.
With a history of recent quadruple bypass, we take no symptoms for granted and neither did they.
Tests were run quickly, findings returned quickly and all was handled with warmth, dignity, and knowledge.
Everyone was wonderful, Dr Taube, Carly, Roland, the USound tech, and the rest, all amazing.
Luckily, outcome not too serious but, this was the best ER experience EVER!!! and we 've had plenty of visits to judge by! Thank you, Holy Cross for being there and being so GOOD!!
Eli Nassim
I had a double hernia with Dr. Michael Perez. I was pleasantly surprised from the check in till I left. The pre-op was really on top of their work and did it very professionally and friendly at the same time. Just a good experience.
Joanne Irving
I was surprised by needing to go to the ER.
The staff took me in so kindly.
They assessed what was needed and each person was kind with southern warmth.
I left with good advice from the ER doctor, Dr. Brower; and a good understanding of what had happened. I hope I spelled her name correctly.
I hope i can stay clear of hospitals, but... if i ever HAVE to go again, it won’t be anywhere else here.
Thanks to all of you and the special nurse who helped with my phone 😊
Samala Kareki
Great care, my Dr. William Leone it’s the best surgeon Ortopedic in the world! Nurses, Asst aid, Physical Theraphy are great, Caring, attentive, professional and pleasant; over all it was absolutely very good experience, I will recommended it and I will come back for my second partial knee replacement! So glad this hospital it’s my favorite!
michael kasbar
I showed up 5 hours early because I got the time of my appointment wrong. The staff couldn’t have been more accommodating and I was in and out in 20 minutes. Courteous and professional handling was very appreciated. This is rare in my experience in South Florida. Keep up the good work. You are a real asset to the community.
Juan Rivera
I went to this Hospital with a severe migraine and I walked out 3 hours later feeling 100% fine. The Doctor was super nice and he didn’t let you go until I was feeling completely healed. He also gave me prescription with strong medications for future migraines.
Charles Ashton
This is by far the best hospital I've ever delt with. I would have given it 5 stars but for the lack of parking. The major situation is that employees choose to park in the main lot rather than the employee parking area. I don't see any security encouraging employees to move on. I'd love to hear a response to this long term situation. However, God bless them for providing the best medical care possible.
Randi B
Quick and attentive care from all the staff from the front door security to the head doctor. Husband came in with severe abdominal pain and was treated the fastest I’ve ever seen in North America. Thank you to Dr. Taube and Dr. Ferdinand and all the amazing Nurses!
jack field
Hospital experiences are tough for everyone. Having lived in the area for 40 years, I've had a variety of expire cues with divisions of this hospital. Overall, I'd say it's comparatively exceptional. I thought this would be an important review to those looking for an honest opinion.
Ken Ruggiero
Though very busy in the ER last night, both the doctor and his staff did what they could to make the time in the ER as pleasant and comfortable as possible. Dr. Svoboda and his nurse, Jonah, Are to be commended for their extreme professionalism and compassionate personalities.
Kathy Murdock
This PCP group of Dr Gozansky, Dr Dolchin, Dr Nigen, and Dr Copan never disappoint. Their phones are always answered promptly , their staff is always professional, friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. When you come to the office my experience is always positive . I have been a patient of Dr Gozansky’s for decades and I always know he is going to give me his full professional attention , diagnose, and treat me correctly, along with answering all my questions. Over the years I have seen the other Drs in the practice and they are also excellent. Front desk staff, back office staff, and lab are all equally, consistently excellent. I am not one to write reviews, but I found it important to do so , as so many reviews given (Drs, store, etc) are negative and people should also be noticed when they are giving great care
Sara Lloyd
Great experience with Dr Perez for surgery. The hospital staff was great. A special shoutout to Katrina preop nurse.
Thought everything went off perfectly. The staff in discharge recovery was top notch. Very attentive.
Debra Ellis
The staff ensured that I was well to be seen for my X-rays, by checking my temperature as mandated. My wait wasn’t long, and I felt safe to see social distancing being practice in the sign in and X-ray waiting areas. Everyone was very polite.
Eddie Chapman
Visited the ER twice this year and both times the entire staff were patient and professional. You could see clearly the competence and quality training of the medical personnel. Last but not least they enjoy interacting with people in spite of high demand that comes with their fast paced work environment .
Michael Forrester
Recently, my Dr sent me to the hospital for an ultrasound. My previous experiences with Holly Cross have been nothing but phenomenal, and this was no different!!
The technician Josh made an uncomfortable situation seem like I was having a cup of coffee with a friend at Starbucks. His technical expertise and sense of alacrity exemplified the best of medical care today.
aaron Petrolia
I went to the ER two days ago the doctor that treated me His approach with people was amazing. Very caring and understanding of His patients and what they are going through. I have a ulcer in my right eye it’s very painful considering what I was going through at the time I couldn’t of ask for a better service. Thank you sir you know who you are please don’t change a thing you are a light to all around you.
ROADESIA
My critique for this hospital and that employees is five star. I have no complaints the doctors have been very supportive and informative and caring as well as the nursing staff and everyone that I came in contact with was awesome. Thank you very much holy cross , You rock!
Richard Pesta (PhD)
I love my endocrinologist at Holy Cross, very much impressed by her knowledge, caring and guidance. I just recently consulted with a nutritionist at Holy Cross. Very impressed by her knowledge, understanding of my treatment and recommendations. So far i have a great team, i am confident that if i need a new team member, i will find them at Holy Cross
Susan Schwartz
I went for a medical procedure and I have a long history of medical conditions and close to 20 surgeries and countless procedures . I drive three to four hours for these Fourt Lauderdale doctors and because of the outstanding service provided in comparison to Orlando and Lake county. . This procedure was a heart cath and this hospital is nothing but the best . EVERY medical professional was beyond expectations and I have never felt so well cared for! Thank you for rebuilding my faith in the medical field! You made a huge difference!
Mary ann Bonello
My brother David Ketchel passed away on wed 2/6/2019 he was in intensive care and on life support, the staff, drs, and nurses were so compassionate to his and our needs it was amazing. There was a male nurse called (K) this man was there for us and he felt our hurt, took care of my brother like it was his own brother. This hospital is amazing, I just want to say ty for giving the care my brother needed and being there for us during this sad time in our family’s life. Thank you again.
Pam Ferrante
I was a walk -in with a script from my Dr for a pelvic X-ray. I was taken to registration very quickly..... had a little bit of a wait in radiology waiting room but once taken in the X-ray was taken quickly and I was back out the door. Wish my Dr visits could always go this efficiently.
dennis corcoran
I just experienced a very successful Ablation & TEE at Holy Cross. Doctor Rishi Anand and the entire surgical staff were very professional and friendly. The meals were also excellent. If you are ever in need of heart surgery I can highly recommend Holy Cross and Doctor Anand and his team. Thank you all, you were great!
Dennis
Natalia Woodworth
The staff at Holy Cross is very professional and caring. I was hospitalized in February and the attention I received was remarkable. Yesterday I went to do an outpatient procedure and once again, a great experience.
Ed Foley
I was admitted to ICU at Holy Cross in May by ambulance and was treated by Dr. Robert Ansara and his group. The care was excellent and the staff was kind and caring beyond belief as I suffered through a serious cardiac event. I was delighted at the professionalism and kindness I experienced particularly during a visit by hospital ambassador Ann Carter who visited with me during a very trying time.
After I was transferred to a regular room under the guidance of Supervisor Michelle Doychak, the warm and caring attitude of the staff buoyed my spirits and aided in my recovery. I am very grateful for her personal attention to my care.
Thank You very much.
Boka D
This has been most amazing experience in our lifetime. My wife and I have been AMAZED how wonderful people were. All the staff Dr. Gomez, Sandra, Cassandra, Ashley, Caithlyn, Rita, Mary Joe, Nancy were the staff who helped deliver and care after our baby girl with such ease. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!!!
Crescent Services
Excellent customer service. I have taken my kids twice in the past 3 months and they always seem to exceed service. Staff and nurses are very knowkledgable and make you feel comfortable. The waiting time is minimal.
James Gordon
Went to Holy Cross for an ultrasound. Very personable staff and efficient. Took care of me promptly and had me on my way. Told me results would be w Dr in a day or so, he had them the same day.
Very pleased & satified with the service at Holy Coss.
Misbehaven Ivy R
Went in at 915am for pre surgery tests. Was taken care of immeadiately by Carlos at the desk.. very pleasant and polite man. Had all mypaperwork completed in a few minutes and all my tests were done very quickly. Was out of the hospital by 1015. Everything was finished in an hour!! Thank you Holy Cross hospital and staff.
Lashanti Brown
I went in and came out in no time. They didn't patch me and sent me away. They took the time to listen to me and then treated me right the first time. I will always go there whenever I need emergency help. I trust them. The fact that they keep up with me as well. They knew my medical history. They asked me questions to better understand what I was going thru.
Amy Miller
ER staff so sweet from reception thru discharge. We are in Fort Lauderdale on vacation and I hope we never have to come back to this hospital but if I did....I would come here again. Shout out to the ER Nurse Jessica for being so caring and always keeping us the loop for what was going on.
Walter Doxey
Just had open heart Surgery from Dr Tabrey and he is the best doctor I have ever had. The hospital and Nursing staff was the best, hopefully I never have to go back but if I do i would absolutely use Holy Cross again. I want to give special recognition to Michelle in the CVCU unit. Thank you
Annette Nitchman
I had a total Hysterectomy on Thursday, October 14, 2021 by Dr. G. Willy Davila…
My experience from the time I registered and all through the surgery into the night hours was great…
However when 7:30 am came…I got two nurses (of which I had until I checked out) were not caring…never came when I buzzed for them …
Then an RN by the name of Laura came through and acknowledged any buzzes I had for help…
The nurses that totally blew me off were…
NISHON & CLONISE
Except for these two individuals…my time at Holy Cross was excellent…Thank you!
Bobby Schochet
I have had several operations performed at Holy Cross and each time have found considerate and caring nurses and doctors. I have also gone to the ER for emergencies and did not wait long or be in the hallways like in some places.
Patti Johnston.
I had knee replacement surgery, everyone was so kind, caring, and professional .
The hospital was very clean the valet car service was great . My surgeon Dr. Raul Gosthe was so informative and caring. I left the facility feeling good about my road to recovery.
tatiana hernandez
As soon my boyfriend and I walk into the ER not even 3 minutes later they call us in to get me admitted. Nurses and doctors were great. They calm me down and explain what was wrong with me and what do i have to do dor now on.
Lyn S
From out of town, extremely impressed with quickness of services, competent and caring nurses and doctors. We felt very well taken care of, had a follow up referral, and that doctor was also very nice.
Highly recommend Holy Cross Hospital!
Uncharted TV
Dr. Perez and his staff are very helpful and friendly. After a month of not being able to keep any food or liquids down and two ER visits he expedited my consultation visit to have my lap band removed. After fighting with the doctor who original put it in , Dr. Choi at Strax, who told me “he refuses to take it out” even though he knew I was having issues consuming any nurishment. I found dr Perez because I was in Holy Cross emergency room. After my consultation and seeing my scans and how much weight I lost in such a short time he scheduled me for surgery the very next day. And his nurse was able to get insurance to approve it quickly. They have literally been my angels and I’m so thankful to have come across his office.
Gordon Lincoln
Holy Cross employes excellent doctors and nurses. I know this from the treatment I have received there. That being said it often feels like you are left waiting for hours AFTER triage just to see anyone for help.I don't know if it's a staffing issue or organizational one, but it is a recurring theme at this hospital.
Donna Peplin
I recently had total knee replacement by Dr Martin Roche at Holly Cross. My experience with the physian, nurses and therapist was five star. The hospital is clean, the food was also good but most important was the care I received. Thanks for helping during a tough procedure.
Virginia Freichels
From the moment we walked into the lobby, until I was discharged later that night for outpatient wrist surgery, our treatment at Holy Cross was wonderful. Everyone we met with was kind, friendly and thoughtful. A big Thank You.
Christine orologio
I have honestly never been to such a wonderful hospital. The wait was long but worth it. Once you are in you are in and they treat you well. Worth every dime unlike most hospital's. Thank you to everyone in the ER very impressive to say the least.
Jen Staley
Holy Cross Doctors, nurses techs are amazing. I have had a year of health issues and been a bit of a frequent flyer. My GP and all specialists are part of HCH. I will never go anywhere else.

I came to this hospital yesterday on 10/22/18. I have a rare kidney disease that causes severe pain and severe blood in my urine. I arrived at the ER around 10am and was signed in right away seen triage nurse with in 10 min. I was in a bed in the ER by 10:40. Waited less then 10 min to see a doctor once i got in the bed. I was very apprehensive with coming to the ER cause i am on a lot of medications for the pain with the kidney disease and only have been treated by my doctors an ER back in Pennsylvania. The PA rob in the ER and the attending sorry i forget his name were absolutely awsome. They listend to me let me talk they were in no way condescending and treated me with respect and did everyrhing they could to get me comfortable. Unfortunately i had to be admitted cause the pain started getting worse today. I am on the 2nd floor and the nurses and physicians here are also awsome. I have been treated with respect from everyone i have run into at holy cross. When u have a rare kidney disease and have a flare up while u are in another state and all the meds im on definitly make u nerveous cause the people here dont know me and my disease but like i said they listend to me and did everything they could to help me and still are as i am staying at least till Wednesday. My home hospital is ranked in the top 10 hospitals in the country and i honestly put holy cross right up there with my home hospital
Mike Maloney
I had a wonderful expietence in the E.R., for some recent tests, after a fall. My nurse, Ashley and Dr. Ryan T., were simply outstanding. But everyone from the unit clerk to the billing lady, x-ray, cat scan, and the paramedic who drew my blood were just wonderful and over the top. Not ONE negative expietence to even complain about. Perfect!!!
therman bolt
This hospital has helped me in so many ways. I use it and the doctors in the holy cross network only. Nice people work here. Cannot complain about any of them.
Loretta Curtin
The staff was extremely pleasant when I arrived at 6:15 am for a test. They made sure I was comfortable and my down time was minimal.
Every time I go to Holy Cross, the staff seems to go out of their way to make sure my wait time isn’t long.
Debra Roberts
I had high blood pressure 187/105 and couldn’t bring down with medicine my heart doctor gave me to use. I live in the Fort Myers, Fl area visiting Lauderhill by the sea. The staff was very professional and took care of me. I would recommend Holy Cross if you need a emergency visit.
Mona Lotts
I was visiting Ft. Lauderdale on vacation and became ill. Holy Cross was recommended by the hotel staff where I was staying. The staff at Holy Cross ER were friendly and efficient from beginning to end. I was assessed and treated in less than two hours. Would definitely recommend Holy Cross ER to anyone visiting the area and needing care.
Ursula Hargreaves
Dear Dr.Taylor
My name is Ursula Hargreaves and I was admitted for Spinal surgery on 8/16/12 under Dr.Cantor in Holy Cross Hospital Room 480.
I am a nurse myself and lived and worked in many different countries in this world. (Switzerland, Middle East, Germany, UK etc.) The last 6 years I worked as Chief Nurse for CCL and RCCL.
I know people always are very fast in complaining but I think it is as well very important to open the mouth if something is good.
I was very impressed with the extreme high status of care and cleanliness of the hospital. Something you don’t find very often. All of your Personal Nurses , Doctors, Physiotherapist, Phlebotomist worked efficient, were very helpful, took their time with the patients and dealt in a professional manner. You can be proud to have such excellent staff. After my ordeal of 15 month and having been told by several Doctors that I am not a case for surgery and never will be due too high risk, I was apprehensive to have the surgery done but Dr. Cantor but he gave me the right assurance, took his time to explain everything to me , and so far touch wood, I was able to walk without pain He worked a miracle on me. I can’t tell you how grateful and how very much impressed I am with everything. I haven’t got enough words to express how I feel. THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH
It was wonderful to receive from International the gown and the flowers. It was a very nice welcome gesture.Thank you again.
All in all an extraordinaire excellent experience.
Kind regards
Ursula Hargreaves
Diane Crites
The nursing staff from the ER to the 4th floor were excellent. The ancillary departments were also top-notch. When you are as sick as I was, it's great to have the skill and experience as I had. Thank you to all the staff.
Gia B
Had a consultation with Dr. Rush for a second opinion and liked him very much. You immediately get a sense of his knowledge, integrity and honesty. Consult resulted in further diagnostics and had an angio with him. He. and the IVR team are just outstanding! The nurses are awesome, answered all my questions and just really exceptional care. I would highly recommend Dr. Rush and Holy Cross hospital.
Norm Bedard
O have been 5 times at HC for the same ongoing problem. When I record down the emergency room knows exactly what to expect and what I need and is able to expedite getting me back to a normal state. I usually come in with excruciating pain and they take good care of me always doctors and nurses. Nothing but praises for their staff
Susan Dierkes
As long as I’ve been coming to Holy Cross, (my youngest daughter was born there 51 years ago) I’ve never encountered any problems. Everyone is always on point, always going out of their way to make your stay as comfortable as possible, whether short term or long term. Definitely above and beyond. Kudos to everyone associated with Holy Cross!! 👍🏻🙂
Lana Stevens
Outstanding job that the young practioner Kelley Crane did. She has excellent bed -side manner and even on a busy night she was very compassionate and when uncertain of her own judgement in my case sought the advise of her physician on duty. I thought this was exceptional as all to often no one wants to ask for help.Thank you for giving me such great care .
Sincerely,
Lana Stevens
Cheryl Cotroneo
My husband had a procedure in December which he was asked to pay his portion up front. He told them that he had met is responsibility but they insisted he still pay. We have been waiting for our total refund for three months. They had the audacity to tell us they would send us to collections if we didn't pay a doctors bill when we told them to pay the doctor with the money they owe us. They gave us 30 days to pay. We've been waiting 90 days for our refund. We are now in the process of talking to an attorney.
Kevin O’Keefe
I have been a stage 4 lung cancer patient of Oncologist Doctor David Drew for nearly FIVE years now. Doctor Drew, his entire staff, all the nurses in the chemotherapy/ immunotherapy department, as well as ALL the dedicated employees, whether in the E.R., MRI, CT scan, pre or post Op or Intensive Care, deserve no less than 5 stars for their mission, and their most competent care. I know because I’ve been on the receiving end of ALL of their services. Originally my prognosis to live even another year was very dim- but I decided to fight!With Doctor Drew and his vast knowledge of oncology leading the way I underwent several operations including brain and Gamma Knife surgery. My follow up care has been the newer approach of immunotherapy using the newest drugs available, like Merck pharmaceuticals Keytruda. So if you find yourself in my shoes, cancer stricken and full of anxiety, do yourself a BIG favor and choose the health professionals at Holy Cross and their cancer center oncologists. You will be so glad that you did. When it comes to YOUR health, make an intelligent decision. Your life may very well depend on it. Mine did.
As of today I’ve made tremendous progress and I’m able to live a “normal” life. I continue with my cancer treatments on a 3 week basis receiving Keytruda and having Brain MRI’s and full torso CT scans on a 6 month basis. I live my life walking with Jesus one day at a time and moving forward with a much more positive attitude. Thank YOU for reading my testimony! It is 100% TRUE. Sincerely, ~K.
Stephanie JeanBaptiste
Going to Holy Cross Hospital is always a pleasure. My OBGYN, Dr. Walker, is the best. The staff always has a smiling face and a warm greetings. There's no other hospital I trust for my pre-natal needs.
Valerie Jacoby
Been trying to get a procedure scheduled and have had it reschedule twice, once because of insurance delays and the other illness. Exasperating but the staff at Dr. Bonner’s office have all been very understanding and accommodating. Kudos to Angela and to Cindy and everyone we’ve dealt with regarding this so far.....
Stefannia Camero
Thank you to Tonia!!!! The young that lady greets us at the Imaging electric doors. She was the sweetest most kindest human being🙏🏽 She made the transition in leaving my grandfather a breez ❤️ With the new protocols she was so kind to help me feel at ease. …
Loumis Gene Alston
I live in Coral Springs, and I travel all the way to Holy Cross in Ft. Lauderdale for my medical and emergency needs. The Staff, Nurses, and Doctors are always courteous and kind. They are a jovial group, so my last two times there I always end up joking around with them. The quality of care - by far everyone at Holy Cross is professional, caring, and they take care of you, the patient. The two times I have went to Holy Cross, whether diagnosis for illness or injury has been spot on. Even though I live in Coral Springs, it’s worth the 30 minute drive.
The only downside I see for Holy Cross - I wish they had a fast track side. The hospital back home in Maryland had Fast Track. Fast Track is meant to get patients in and out who have injuries that are relatively minor, while your patients that are suffering from an illness or medical emergency are seen on another side of the emergency room. It’s another way to Triage.
Rudy Nicholas Geigel
Visiting hospital is never the best place to be at. However building trust is an important key when you putting on hands who taking care of your health.

Had a tragic accident occur to our 6 month old while on vacation at LBTS. The ER experience was a good one from the nurse and dr that took care of us and the quickness with which we were seen. All staff was caring and competent.

I had the pleasure of having Dr. Raul Ghoste and his superior staff of professionals assist me through the process of getting a bilat TKA on June 28th of this year. Dr. Ghoste did an unbelievable job that has contributed to my ability to recover, both with the assistance of the fine staff of physical therapy professionals that work alongside Dr. Ghoste in the Orthopedic Center of Fort Lauderdale. I am in my 7th week of recovery and am driving, and patiently waiting to be able to go swimming or the ocean..!! I am also going to call my employer to go back to work very soon. Kudos again to the entire staff at Holy Cross; from the nurses who helped me after my surgery, to the front desk staff who are always ready to help in the Ortho Center -- I am grateful and thankful to have been blessed to get this procedure done and am looking forward to my upcoming retirement years where I can once again do those things that are priceless until you realize you can't do them; like taking a walk on the beach, doing chores, working. I highly recommend Holy Cross to anyone who is considering surgery for their hurting knees.
Nickola Pickett
I’ve been going to Holy Cross 25 years I believe. The staff, nurses & doctors are super. Most are attentive, caring & compassionate despite the long hours they work. You would get very few complaints from me!
Shannon Velazquez
Staff was so very kind and caring. That's hard to find. Went in for a thyroid biopsy yesterday. My body had a bad reaction and the tech and nurse didn't leave my side until I was better. I feel comfortable there.
James McWilliams
Holy Cross has been my go to Hospital for myself and family. My doctors are associated with Holy Cross and they are the best! Staff is kind and considerate. Clerks and office staff treat you well
Kerry Purcell
This was my second time at Holy Cross HealthPlex (Outpatient Surgery Center) in 4 months. Both experience were brilliant. I would chose to go to the HealthPlex any day over a regular Hospital. The one on one care from all the nurse's was very warm and comforting, they really took their time to make you feel comfortable. It's starts from even walking in to the HealthPlex, it is layout lovely, Mary the lady who check people in was super sweet and knew what she was doing. Marta was amazing and went above and beyond to make me as comfortable as she possible could. Would definitively recommend this facility to anyone that asks.

Arrived at the ER via ambulance and got great care. Everyone was professional and friendly. I was taken care of and cleared quickly. They listened to me and explained everything very well. Would definitely go back if I had to.
Joel Auerbach
Needed a Pre op X ray and my primary care physician arranged for it to happen STAT. After finding parking and then having to go through an admission process for information already in the system, I was pleased to be whisked through the Xray process. The radiology tech was very helpful and extremely competent Must have done 3 patients in 15 minutes!
david keiser
cardiovascular is a grade A operation. Very much impressed. Harmony and the rest of the nurses were excellent pre and post procedure. Doctor Albuqeurque is a great physician. I was apprehensive before my cardiac Catheterization but now feel confident before my TAVR(aortic valve replacement)
Donna Champion
The staff in the ED were helpful, courteous and professional. I had a long wait and the ED was busy. The MD that sutured my leg did a great job from beginning to end. Kelley MD was quite personable also. 👍 …
Christopher Tucker
This place (the ER) has always treated me kind and compassionately even when I was homeless and couldn't pay. I've have been a few times over the years and would recommend anyone seeking medical attention to go in and get it here. LOVE THE STAFF!! Thank you guys for the jobs you do and care you show.
P Burke
Admitted with scary blood pressure complications. Emergency room was quick and responsive. I was then moved into the Neuro ICU ward" The name alone scares the bejesus out of you. Yes the nurses and doctors have an excellent bedside manner. But, Imagine having a reaction to one of the drugs and you press your call button. It felt like 3 minutes Now you would think that of all places ICU would be super responsive. Truth be told. I got paniky when 3 nurses congregated outside my open room door, to chat as Im writhin in my bed from the reaction. I had to start a commotion (how embarassing) THEN they DECENDED on me. Two were treating the third tried to hold down my legs. WAY TO GO. I was only rubbing my ankles together. Self-soothing behavior. If you hurned around when you heard the call button the first time it wouldn't have gotten to that point for me emotionally. After this, I got quick treatment. Even so, my confidence in their responsiveness dropped a point.
Samantha Yarbrough
Service was great! Staff were great as well! Very helpful & informative! Everything was timely and I wasn’t there long which is surprising because most ER visits I’ve experienced are very long visits. It was a great visit and I will continue to go there for any hospital need in the future!
ANGELINA SCARBROUGH
I was send to Holy Cross for an echocardiogram after encountering a lot of arrhythmia for several weeks. Needless to say, I was very anxious. After checking in with Cindy in the Cardiology Dept, I was taken back to have the echo by a lady by the name of Mary Ann. Well, I have NEVeR encounters a more thorough explanation of a procedure than from this lovely lady! I felt like not on,y had she put me to ease, she didn’t treat me like an outsider and explained every step of every move she made. I’m so glad that you sent me this survey, because I was actually looking online to see where I could give a complimentary report on my experience!! MARY ANN, YOU ARE AMAZING, YOU ENJOY YOUR JOB, AND YOU TREAT PEOPLE WITH RESPECT!!

Very attentive staff, Dr Leone is fabulous. Had a hip replacement yesterday morning. Went home at 4:00 and getting off the pain meds today. No need! Great experience!

I was treated very well by both Doctors and nurses. I was in and out in an hour and a half with a positive outcome. To get through the emergency room in that time frame was amazing.

Very good experience at Outpatient facility. Excellent staff and very professional attitudes from all in the area. Each member on the staff made the patient feel confident and relaxed for the procedure to be performed. Highly recommend this facility.
