Reviews of HCA Florida South Tampa Hospital
Jade Foster
I had a major surgery at the outpatient ward of this hospital. The staff were so kind, compassionate and lighthearted. They genuinely tended to me and kept me calm and happy prior to my operation. They embodied a perfect mixture of professionalism and of personalized patient care.
They accommodated my every request and went above and beyond to create a positive, comfortable, and supportive experience.
I thank everyone there and highly recommended this facility for your medical needs!
Janet Matthews
Went to ER on a Sat at 12:30 pm with symptoms of UTI. No one else in waiting room, friendly staff were professional and had me admitted in a short amount of time. I was impressed with the nurse training a student how to insert my IV and it did not even leave a bruise!
The doctor was friendly and quick to get tests ordered and the CT scan tech took great care to get that handled quickly and efficiently. I had to be admitted for an overnight stay. Those nurses and staff were excellent! Thank you Stacy, especially. The reason I did not give a 5 star rating is because in hours the ER room at no time did anyone ask if my husband needed anything. When I got to my room at about 7 pm, I asked if I could have some dinner because I was there all day with nothing to eat. A nurse assistant said he would be right back - never saw him or the food. After the new shift came in, someone finally got me a cold dry turkey sandwich and a bag of Cheetos - not exactly healthy food from a hospital. Later I asked if I could have a lemonade and the desk nurse said that there was lemonade downstairs in a vending machine, but it was past visiting hours, so my husband had gone, I had no cash and I was in a gown hooked up to an IV. These are minor things, but to me to earn a 5 star, there had to be no glitches. I very much appreciate all the care and help I did receive throughout my stay and the emergency surgery team on Sunday was definitely 5 star! I hope I will not need Memorial Hospital again, but will certainly go back and will highly recommend it if anyone asks.

My experience at HCA florida south tampa hospital was wonderful, smooth and effective. Danielle assisted me gorgeously and provided me with excellent service along with the rest of the front desk staff. Out of every hospital I’ve been to in Florida this one is by far my favorite hands down!
Nicole Kemp
For being a hospital, it was a great experience. Each and every staff member I came in contact with was amazing and I truly felt cared for my well-being. The nursing staff built a relationship with me, it was very calming. They eased my anxiety with having my first ever surgery. Overall it was a great experience.
Precious Hughes
Staff was wonderful from the time I walked in and until I left. They were friendly and showed care for all the patients, not only me. They nurse that I had made sure she stayed on the DR. so he could do his notes so I could be discharged after my procedure and she understood I wanted to be home. They made me comfortable and made sure I understood everything I needed to know. They were AMAZING.
Alphia Parker
I had an outpatient procedure done and I have to say I was treated like a princess. The doctors and staff were absolutely amazing. My nurse Steven was the nicest and sweetest person I have ever met. He even called me the day after my discharge to check on my status and to converse about my humorous reaction under anesthesia.
Pedro Morales
Everyone was Amazing! Wonderful care, attention, Professionalism, Caring Staff, Cleanliness 5 star, what Can I say, VERY pleased with my experience. I was Very nervous it being my first surgery ever, but thanks to this team I couldn’t be happier. Thank you everyone for helping me through this time.
Maria McMillen
I was there following post surgical proceredure they took care of me well. I liked the nurses that were assigned to me. My only issue was while I was in surgery there was suppose to be a link that I could have my love ones to be able to follow my status from in the surgery room, recovery etc but the info given they could not find my info although i entered the required info I had to set up and then pass the info so my family could follow my status. My family was beside themselves with the long wait and it took a while for the Dr to come out with the update so she was very worried. That was probably the only think that I would change about my experience. But overall great staff and hospital good experience
Claudia Valladares
I have nothing but great things to say about my experience at Memorial Hospital. The whole staff was outstanding. Everyone was caring, made me feel special, and made sure I felt safe and well. Thank you for taking good care of me. God bless you all :)
Angela Scalzo
My doctor ordered rush tests and Memorial Hospital (n/k/a HCA) is in my network. I was very impressed with your staff, the unit secretary that assisted me at the North side entrance to the hospital was very nice. She directed me to the "check-in" building on the East side of the hospital and they were also very nice!! I did have a difficult time locating where the entrance was and where to park. I realize you have valet parking, but I like to tip a valet and I had no cash. I was told by the valet there is not an ATM in the hospital.... I eventually found parking and made it to the hospital, after that the tests were a breeze. Thank you, Angela
Lynda Dilts-Benson
I can't say enough about the facility and staff at this hospital. Both my spouse and myself have had surgery there and kudos to everyone there. From pre ops to the day of surgery, to the overnight stay, EVERYONE was wonderful! I am a nurse and my husband is a physician, so we recognize excellence when we see it. I will recommend this facility to anyone who is in that area needing services.
Pam Bowman
Excellent care. Dr. Gaines and both nurses were kind, listened, and fixed my issue that had been going on for 3 weeks. There was also a follow up call offering to make appointments with specialists that were recommended at the visit-I have never had follow up like that before!
Millie Vazquez
I was treated very good, It dfelt like the staff was caring for me like I was family, a mother even! Love them all. They really care for patients at HCA IT IS MY HOSPITAL FROM NOW ON! Thank so much I will always be grateful for you all. God bless each of you always.

Gertrude Meyer
All in all a positive experience. I arrived almost half an hour before my surgical check in time, but only waited 5 minutes before someone came to get me to begin prepping. Every single staff member: doctors, nurses, assistants and others treated me with friendly respect. They were professional and thorough in their explanations and actions. The IV nurse did an exceptional job putting in both IV ports - painless and successful at first jab!
Faby Herrera
The entire staff from the ER to the 4th Floor where I stayed for couple nights - are all tremendously kind compassionate in their line of work making sure one is comfortable - assist when possible very helpful but more so very friendly and always smiling when they come to see you in the room. What was even more comfortable knowing that my husband works there and knows them speaks highly of them that it put me at ease being in a hospital. Thank you to the entire staff :-)
Cheryl Green
My experience with Dr. Healy and nurse Donna was exemplary. Kindness, medical expertise and human connection made a scary situation more than tolerable.
My transportation to my room on the third floor was a different story. After an administrator took me from the Emergency department, I was dropped off and seemingly forgotten. No person around for over 30 minutes, while I was panicked and stressed.
I’m happy to say the staff turned it all around the next day, and I received world class treatment for the most part.
I believe my bad experience was related to the growing pains the hospital is experiencing, but this a situation that I hope never happens to another patient.
Arthur Lastra
Had a colonoscopy performed recently at the hospital. From the moment I walked in and until the time I left it was a great experience. The nurses, doctors, and admin staff were wonderful to deal with. Everybody was very organized and the whole process went as scheduled. The nurses (in particular Betsy) were simply fantastic, keeping me informed, at ease, and I felt they knew exactly what they were doing. Would have no hesitation scheduling my next colonoscopy at this hospital.
Sylvia Just
I went to the ER on Jan 17, 2023, for chest pain and after waiting 20 minutes I was called for my vitals. Waited about another 10 minutes to be called to the room #5, The nurse (Eli) didn't even introduce herself to my husband and me. I reminded her more than once that I was allergic to Penicillin which she didn't even bother placing the Red band on my wrist. My son step in to check on me and after being told by her to step out in a very unprofessional way (no TACT) my son left the Hospital not happy. Every time she came in, she left the curtain wide open where I asked her to please close it more than once. Didn't offer to assist me not once to the bathroom. Very pleasant Dr came in to inform me that I was being admitted per my Cardiologist order. Nurse came back in and started disconnecting the IV line very abruptly, no empathy at all. I asked her to please go slowly that I was in pain, her reply was that she was doing her best. Wheeling me up to RM 422 she had nothing to say. Made it to the room and again she started rushing where she dropped the machine that take all vitals, lucky I reacted quick enough grabbing the IV line before it got ripped out of my arm. At that point I asked her to please slow down and why was she being so rough, no reply. The RM Nurse came in and reassure me that she and her Team will take good care of me, and they did. Had never had such a bad experience in my whole life or the many times I been to HCA Florida South Tampa Hospital. Nurses like Eli are the ones that give Hospital bad Reviews, but I know better than letting these BAD EXPERIENCE ruin my Love for HCA even though I don't like hospital's visit. Thank You to All Staff from the Top of My Heart. Doing much better :)

The care was excellent. Everyone was friendly and helpful, putting me at ease, and my colonoscopy was over before I knew it.
I just wish the staff had been more willing to let me go afterward. Yes, I was aware of their policy to not release patients who've undergone anesthesia to a car service or public transportation and I lied when I said I had someone to pick me up. I'm sure there's a reason for this policy - likely someone was hurt or taken advantage of in the past and sued.
But if I'm willing to sign a waiver releasing the hospital of liability, that should be sufficient. I know I wasn't the only one there that day who didn't have someone to pick them up and stay with them all day. I have friends in the area, but I'm not going to ask any of them to take off work to babysit me unnecessarily.
Afterward, I was either ignored or condescended to by the same people who were friendly to me just a few hours earlier. It was as if I'd offended them personally. They said they were concerned for my safety, but why did I feel like enemy number one? Disgust was the feeling I got from them.
Again, I understand there's probably good reason for the policy and that I shouldn't have lied. But why the anger and condescension? It would have been 80% better if they'd just tried to understand and admit the real concern was for the hospital's legal department, who instructed them to be so strict in the first place. I'd still have left without a personal ride and escort, but I wouldn't have this bitter taste in my mouth. Also, that policy isn't universal. There are other providers who don't require a ride from someone the patient personally knows.
Next time I'll just choose one of them instead.

The hospital was immaculately clean. The staff was cordial and pleasant. The services were performed in a timely fashion. Nobody particularly enjoys hospital experiences, but the atmosphere at this facility made the experience a positive one. Great people, great facility.
Hubert Trinidad
My mother had knee surgery in this facility and our experience was superb. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. They go the extra mile to make the patients feel at ease. I will definitely recommend this facility to anyone seeking A+ medical care
Yanira Rohena
I was very impressed with the care I received at the surgery center. The staff was very caring and attentive. My private room was very comfortable and felt like I was in a hotel. I would recommend this hospital and any HCA hospital to anyone needing medical care.
Gonzalo Lever
I walked into the ER about 1 am and was attended to within a few minutes. All I'm all I was taken back, had exams and diagnostics done and was out within 3 hours. The attention from the front desk, to the attending nurse, and testing tech was super careful and attentive to my needs. Highly highly recommended for Memorial Hospital South Tampa
A C
Easily the best experience I've had at a hospital. From seeing me immediately via ER while everyone else has 5 or 6 hour wait times.. to the care they provided throughout my stay. I'm entirely grateful for HCA and their staff. I was constantly provided for without having to ask.. from meds to food. They're on top of it. I would recommend this hospital to everyone

Christine Milnthorpe
I cannot say enough good things about the nurses and employees that we dealt with in the Surgery Center. Everyone was kind, caring and efficient. It was an excellent experience and I would have no hesitation in returning here.
Amy Dion
Monday was a very bad day for me personally. I could hardly walk because of neuropathic pain in my lumbar spine. Living close by, your hospital was as far as I could manage to drive myself to seek treatment. I was extremely scared & in a lot of excruciating pain. I was met by a very busy hospital full of some very difficult patients. I could feel the stressful & busy energy within, it was palatable the minute I walked in. Dr Healy was the ER doctor whom I saw. He was so reassuring, comforting, explanatory, informative & just had exceptional bedside manner. I could tell how busy & understaffed it was that day (likely a feeling hospital administrators don’t want patients to feel), but these days it’s the norm, sadly. I was given a RN who’s home base was a sister location. She was also very caring & sweet under the pressure the busy ER had given her that day. All in all, I was honestly so pleasantly surprised by the amazing care I received from your staff. From the sweet Bills fan doing the admitting paperwork to my transporter (Juan I believe his name was) to my RN Bailey, to the radiology techs, to my DO, Dr Healy, bravo & thank you. They deserve accolades because performing that well under that amount of pressure & stress in today’s world deserves praise & recognition. I hope you see to giving them my gratitude. Thank you, Amy Dion
Mary Nally
Upon calling hospital three times I was transferred to Radiology by the Operator, however everytime I selected the appropriate option to schedule I was immediately disconnected. I called Operator back,and inquired if he could take my name, and phone number, and have Radiology call me to schedule. He said he could,and took my information. I never heard from anyone to schedule,so I began looking for another facility. My cardiologist office called,and inquired as to why I had not scheduled. I explained scenario to them,and told them I would try one last time,and if I could not get scheduled I would go elsewhere. I called HCA once more,and was informed a female Operator that I should not have been transferred to Radiology at all,as scheduling is done off-sits,and she provided appropriate number. Called new number,and was able to get scheduled. I was not pleased with my time being wasted. Test itself was very professional, and technician, and RN were awesome!
Freddy Palacios
The whole staff was amazing! I was in tremendous amount of pain and the they did everything in their power to make me feel better and identify the problem. Thank you Alexis (nurse) for making my ER experience not so bad due to the circumstances.
John Abadir
The staff are all wonderful people and they all are very friendly and professional.
Alan was exceptional and he went above and beyond to help and make things easy for his patients. I have never seen this type of excellent service anywhere else before.
oldBillsmith smith
Everything went well. Dr Joseph and his Staff were great. Nurse Telieen Nurse Sophia and Nurse Bob were very helpful even though they are in need of more Nurses on each shift. Nurse Bob still found time to get me up and walking three times that night. Another Nurse came in once to check on me but I didn't get his name.Even with the staff shortage I still give HCA five stars. My recovery seems to be going well.
Carole Rose-Motes
I had eye surgery on two consecutive days . I was absolutely blown away both days by the friendly, knowledgeable and efficient staff from the front check desk to nurses, anesthesiologist /anesthetist to the discharge nurse ❣️🥰 All my special needs and concerns were addressed . I was made to feel safe and comfortable with the very stressful decision to have the surgeries done especially after some horrendous previous experiences in another state . Thank you all so much❣️🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Barry Westmark
All aspects of my pre-surgery and surgery visits were characterized by a high level of accuracy, precision, and punctuality - all comforting things. All staff were professional, courteous, and compassionate. Very good experience.
Mary Harrington
I went to the HCA Florida South Tampa Hospital ER recently and was admitted for a further evaluation. Everyone from the front desk sign-in, the ER staff and physicians to the 4th floor nursing staff, technicians, MRI staff, PT and OT, physician consultants were wonderful. Dr. Healy was my ER physician and Dr. Bireddy was my hospitalist. They were knowledgeable, compassionate, helpful and caring. My private room was spacious, large TV and very clean. The menu choice were excellent and very good! I felt like a VIP and I am sure that every patient there was treated as I was.
Kohana Pousson
The ER team worked together to take care of me. They were all friendly and prompt with my care. The nurses were responsive. The PA was very involved and even went over my discharge paperwork with me.
C P Osborne
My nurse was Elena, she was calm, kind and efficient. I can tell the huge positive difference HCA has on the hospital. Organized, friendly staff and no one kept me waiting.
John Mackey
This Is by far, the best hospital I’ve been treated at. I had a surgical procedure performed on my birthday, and everyone on the staff was so joyful in wishing me a happy birthday. They also came into the preop area as I was being prepared for surgery with a huge birthday card, ballons and the staff coming into wish me a happy birthday. What great memories this has created.
marty feldman
The hospital staff were very helpful and attentive. Frank and Angela went out of their way to make sure that I was well informed and comfortable throughout my stay. I appreciate their care and compassion.
Michael Mullins
It was a wonderful experience. Preop was easy, Kat is a gem. Operation day was a breeze. Only waited about 15 minutes to be taken back. Nurses were very attentive. I waited a bit long because Dr. Monteiro added me to her busy schedule, no problem. Anastesia was the best I have had at this hospital. Surgery went well. My post op nurse took great care of me. My discharge wait after being cleared, was the shortage ever at this hospital. Thanks, Mike.
Britt S.
Everyone in the ER was friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. I was in and out within 2.5 hours, and the doctor provided me with the name of a primary care physician I should contact as well as a specialist. While visits to the ER are never fun, this was a 5-star experience.
Deb Talbot
I was at the hospital for a colonoscopy--not the most enjoyable process. However, the staff at HCA was outstanding from the check in counter through the recovery process. they took excellent care of me and my patiently attending husband.
Yurasin Bowen
Love HCA ( Memorial Hospital ) professional, friendly staff. I'm got the best care from all of the staff. It's feel like I'm stay in five star hotel not an Hospital !! Thank you to all of HCA staff.
Jennifer Sciascia
Wow, I would have never know this Gem of a hospital existed two miles from my job. I am so grateful for the staff at HCA they took great care of me, I was in really bad shape (fever, body aches & other concerns).
Thank you HCA Florida Hospital of Tampa for your great services & your attentiveness.
Enrique Aguila
I was there for a venogram on 09/26. The whole entire staff from the moment I walked into the hospital at the front desk I was greeted with a smile. Everyone was happy and nice and upbeat. And this was 2 days before Hurricane Ian and even during an evacuation order.
David (Dave)
Very good experience. Quick, appropriate, and friendly service.
Much better than the 2017 experience when I came in on Super Bowl Sunday. There for 4 hours (mostly unattended and probably because they were more interested in the game than me....could have at least let me watch the game with them....I missed the entire game where Tom Brady engineered the greatest comeback in SB history.) released very sick with the flu and rabdo (not diagnosed at that time) and told to take hot shower and I'll be fine in a few days or run the risk of being readmitted. Admitted to another ER hospital the next day which resulted in a 2 day stay of getting my rabdo and flu under control. The kicker was them wanting me to pay a $1,000 bill for their nontreatment, negligence, and putting my life in danger.
It appears they have clean their operation up. It appears.....
Cristina Portugal
Amazing hospital I had an outpatient surgery and the whole surgery center deserves kudos and blessings my nurses were amazing and everyone who came in contact with me such a pleasure even though I was a little nervous they all made me feel at ease. Thanks for everything!
lexy2582
All of the staff that I came in contact with were amazing. They were kind, accommodating, and informed me of every step of the process at hand. I’d never experienced this procedure before, and they made the process less stressful than I built it up to be.
ross seely
Still in the waiting room and will follow up on the care as to not associate anyone else with my horrible experience here so far… Everyone so far since getting here has been very nice EXCEPT Danielle who registered my insurance information. In summary Danielle Laughed at me the entire time after saying I was Hispanic right at that point she also got hostile and told me that I needed to get new insurance if I moved here because I gave a Florida address I was staying at which I said was my second home and that I have buisness insurance and buisness up north with my PA address listed on my license I had given her. She said that they could deny the claim if I gave a Florida address that I was staying at now and than I asked to change it to my buisness then and was continued to be mockingly laughed at I asked her to please stop laughing at me at one point after enduring it for awhile saying to please stop and that it was not professional and then she walked out of the room with my insurance card and license for about 5 minutes without saying anything. When she came back she went to security and continued to laugh and talk with him about me as I was recording and she told security guard she NEEDED emphaticly him to sign something on a red clipboard. I then asked where my id and insurance card are and she said she would be back with them and left again and came back and had me sign first for something I could not read without saying what it was then hippa she said and a bunch of other forms that she did explain. Still in waiting room now and they just sent a wheelchair for me to get an X-ray but I have not seen anyone yet still in waiting room and am here with possible rotator cuff tear. I asked tech if this could show that and she said no and said sorry and left to find out why she was sent to take me for x ray when I have not been seen yet and with what I told her my pain and reason for coming. This was the worst experience I have ever had with a registrar ever and am worried she is now impacting my care in retaliation as she was extremely upset which me no matter what I said to her even with saying nice things to deescalate like I just want to follow your advice and thanks for telling me the possible insurance issue.
Updated I just got seen by an AMAZING doctor who quickly diagnosed issue and gave me a trigger point injection that worked amazingly and have no more pain in my shoulder changed my review to 3 stars from 1 but can’t under-state how horrible Danielle who registered me was
Marion Anair
I’m from out of state and they took very good care of me. I’m having trouble walking, have lots of constant pain. They took X-ray and cat scan, then suggested I see an orthopedic surgeon. Polite and courteous staff.
Linda Walton
I felt very safe and secure during my stay. The only negative was the women at the registration desk. The medical staff could not have been more caring.
B J
First experience at this facility; it was great. All staff was polite and courteous. My nurse, Ashley, was excellent as well. Highly recommend.
Richard Alverio
The staff at the hospital were amazing! The doctors were awesome and the nursing staff was second to none. It was a pleasure to get my colonoscopy there.
Laura Matthews
Day shift rn Margie was fantastic. Professional, timely and went out of her way to make me comfortable. Renee day shift pt was friendly, energetic and professional. Wonderful staff
Sara Mounce
They were very nice and knowledgeable. Answered all my questions and helped me relax for surgery. I felt like I was in good hands.
Michael D
Staff was prompt with check-in, very responsive and popped in on me often to make sure recovery was going as planned. Followed up with physician as needed and responded quickly to checking me out and getting me out the door to go home! Thank you.
Julie Rivera (La Gata)
From beginning to end I was treated with so much care. Every staff member was fantastic thank you so much for making me feel safe at all times. God has great workers

Excellent care and compassion. As a retired nurse, I was very impressed with the professionalism of all the staff from my surgeon down to the food service folks.
KEVIN LOPRESTI
On Friday Dec 16th, 2023 I went in for my Colonoscopy and I can sum up my experience at the Hospital in one word
AWESOME!! From the minute you check in you are greeted by caring understanding people. The pre procedure nurses were Super! They went over every detail and left nothing to chance before I went in for the colonoscopy. This is my 5th one and I must say the Best! The nurses and Anesthesiologist in the Colonoscopy room were also super. I woke up fine with no side effects. Again best one yet. If you need any kind of procedure like I had get your doctor to schedule it there 👍👍👍
David Young
Didn't wait very long at all to be seen, Dr and nurses very professional but friendly. Took care of my problem right away. Would not hesitate to go back when the need arises.
Catherine Stenberg
The staff was very kind, helpful, and through. My mammogram was much more comfortable because of the added padding.
Wanda Works
The staff was great. Thank you Dr.Drukteinis and Dr. Healy for your compassionate care. Thank you to Sinan and Grace , my nurses.
Jennifer Alfonso
Everyone was wonderful! I am an employee at the hospital, so being on the other side of the coin was a new experience for me. Everyone took very good care of me and my visitors.
Michelle Ruiz
it was a great experience! staff was awesome very attentive and caring. i was attended immediately! went home feeling alot better! thanks and would recommend it to anyone. thanks
Rob Glisson
I recently had a Kidney Outpatient procedure performed at the Memorial Hospital of Tampa. They could not have been nicer, more efficient, and effective. These are always stressful events in our lives and it really helps that they are calm and in control. I felt safe, I was made comfortable, and respectfully give them my highest recommendation.
Great job to everyone on the team at Memorial!
Caroldene Diaz-Fernandez
Nurses in “Day Surgery” are so attentive. I had a colonoscopy and from the time I arrived until discharge they were so kind and informative. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Shrae W
HCA South Tampa was everything you would expect in a top notch hospital and then some. The hospital is clean and efficient. Above all, they have an absolutely amazing staff. I had day surgery at HCA South Tampa a few weeks ago and unfortunately had persistent nausea after anesthesia. My recovery team went above and beyond to help find a solution. In my previous experiences the nurse would have just said “yeah that sometimes happens after anesthesia”, but not here. My recovery team tried several different methods including medications, crackers, and even aromatherapy to assist. They were of course able to eliminate the issue but what stood out was the way they focused on my well being and comfort. I am a grown woman with children of my own and the comfort my nurse provided was almost mother-like, as if I was the most important and her only concern. The level of care and compassion was exceptional.
Jonathan “Jon” Koernig
From the phone call confirming my surgery to the staff ensuring I was carefully wheeled out to my car where I was met by my wife, I could not ask for a better experience. The staff and doctors were professional, accommodating, and kind. I was always aware of what was happening to me and the surgery went well. I am already on the road to recovery! Thank you all for the great support.
Janet Shaffer
The hospital was clean and the employees were friendly and efficient. Ashley and Zoe were my nurses during my two stays and they were delightful, friendly, and kept my mind off of my upcoming surgeries and also used humor to relieve my stress. I would definitely recommend surgery at this hospital. Keep up the great work.
Walter Martinez
The staff was great and very accommodating. The rooms were clean, updated and the food fantastic. Even though no one wants to be admitted to a hospital this was not a bad place to be. As a nursing professional the only downside was I believe they needed more staffing at night as the floor I was on got busy in the evening. Thank you for the great care.
Karl
ER service experience is amazing. We felt welcome since we opened the door to the release of the patient. They treated us with respect, care, and love. Doctors , nurses and front desk employees Miss Marlene one of the BEST of the best made me feel that they truly love what they do. I will highly recommend this hospital as the first option when you have an unexpected emergency. May God, keep blessing hospital and places where they care about human beings no matter if they are white, black, Hispanic ,Asian, etc., poor or rich. This place truly care about your health matter at all times. It was a tough time but their service experience helped us to handle this emergency better. Thank you so much , I hope you keep growing much more ❤️🙏
Heidi Fredrick
Wonderful staff throughout the process. Kind, caring, helpful, informative and non judgmental. The intake or front desk staff was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. The nurses doing my pre op answered any questions I had and made sure I knew what the plan was and what to expect day of and post op. They also ask upfront if you have any concerns about being comfortable post op and if you have any special requests. I did have a few concerns and the staff addressed them wonderfully. After the surgery the nursing staff was amazing. I had to press the call button to be disconnected from IV's and monitoring equipment to go to the bathroom or walk post op to prevent blood clots. Even when I pressed the button at midnight or two am the nursing staff responded within a minute and were also very kind. The facility is also very clean and well maintained. If I could pick this hospital for every time I need a surgery I would pick it.
James Blake
This was my first time to be at this hospital. I had an outpatient procedure. While going to any hospital is not something one looks forward to, the staff friendly and professional. The procedure was delayed so the stay was longer than expected but the staff made it more bearable.
Andrew Justus
The nurses were excellent. They were polite and helpful when asked for help. All of the nurses were friendly and spoke to me on the surgery recovery room when I was up walking around. The quality of care, and compassion was top notch. I would recomend them to anyone who is having impatient surgery.
Aileen Lamond
I was given great care in the emergency room by doctors, nurses, radiology tech and others. They kept me comfortable and updated on the results of my tests. There was very little wait time to be seen. As a visitor to the area I was very pleased to get the treatment I needed as quickly as I needed it. Job well done!
Ingrid Ramjohn
HCA is the best you can put them to the test because they are better than the rest, service friendliness everything was the best love ❤️ HCA-Health awesome 🤩 Care- the best- Above all the best. The staff was so friendly as I walked through the door the immediately approach me and asked how may I help you what a beautiful place 🤩 I would always recommend HCA to anyone wish they had a hospital like that back home it will be awesome 😎

I had a great experience in your hospital. I have had a lifelong fear of IVs. And five years ago, I met a nurse at your hospital named Christine Selochan, who is so good at what she does, I didn't even feel it go in. Christine has always been patient in allowing me to talk about my fear, she has been reassuring and she's been accomodating and patient, well above and beyond the call of duty. This is the third time she's started an IV on me. This time I had the added benefit of another nurse named Jackie. She was also patient and comforting and helpful. And had no problem when I asked if Christine could be the one to put the IV in. My doctor was great, thankfully my procedure went well, but when I scheduled the procedure, it was actually your nurses that I made sure were there. Top notch people!

Super lovely experience! The nurse, doctors and all other medical experts were exceptional in their care! So glad I had such a great surgery experience!
Maryalice Pendergast
While visiting my Tampa family, I needed emergency care and surgery. The care I received was excellent! It was so good that I would hop on a plane to travel from New Orleans to Tampa if I ever needed hospitalization again!
Christine Barone
Everyone that I came in contact with - from checking in to PreOps to Surgery to Post Op to my care in my room after surgery - I cannot say enough good things about everyone - my care was superb - everyone was so friendly and kind and they make me feel at ease and well taken care of. A very well oiled machine - thank you everyone!

My experience at HCA Florida South Tampa Hospital was a Good One, Staff was always pleasant and available to answer any of my questions by phone or through the Self Portal which was Convenient. Dr. DICICCO provided me with Great Service, he did an amazing job on my Surgery. I'm glad to have choose him.
Amanda Rottmann
I had the most amazing experience, from the surgeon to the nurse anesthetist, to the post op floor. Ari was my day shift nurse and gave me the best care. I felt like I was cared for, not just taken care of.
Brian Lemoi
I recently had to be hospitalized at HCA Florida South Tampa Hospital. I was more than satisfied with the level of care! I was astounded by the responsiveness, kindness and professionalism of all the staff, doctors, nurses, techs, clerical staff etc. No one likes to be in a hospital, but if I ever need to be, HCA Florida South Tampa Hospital will be my first choice!
Sharon Zeidman
Hospital under construction created issues with ac and broken plumbing in my bathroom - that was never addressed. Nurse Taileen was uninterested and inattentive. She watched me accidentally pour water over my gown and blanket while I was still woozy from surgery. Never asked if I needed a dry gown or blanket. I had to ask Jazmine, the nursing assistant to help me. She did with a pleasant attitude. Medications for home were not called into pharmacy and never informed that they wouldn’t be - after providing my pharmacy information at least three times. However, the intake nurse, Steven was delightful and Kimmee really tried to keep stuff together. Ari was very efficient. THE FOOD WAS FANTASTIC!!
Amber Dawnn
Staff was wonderful and friendly. Recovery nurses were champs! I was extremely nervous for my surgery but things flowed nicely and I was impressed with the professionalism and positivity.
Jordan Rolph
I had a great experience when I stayed overnight during my surgery. April, RN on the 4th floor was amazing, always there to help when I needed her.
Cat Robbins
I was there 09/16/22 for my constant leg and knee pain.It was the best experience in a Tampa Hospital I've ever had they were all on point I want to thank the staff for all the hard work they do.. cat scan, ultrasound, My nurses Serena and April, Dr Sleszynski May God bless you all and keep you safe.
David Gibbs
Cek-in was quick and easy. Wait time under 5 minutes to be called for a procedure which was very professionally done.
Kenneth Smith
Had to go to this hospital was my first time there for heart catheterization everyone was very helpful and the nurse i had (Sharon) was very nice and kept checking on me to see if i needed anything

Care on every shift was awesome. Everyone who came in my room was praise worthy. I mean that sincerely!
Jim Hopes
The staff was very helpful and friendly. Communication was good and everyone seemed to know their jobs very well. The opposite of a "medical factory".
Eva Gonzalez
Hello to whom it may concern I have been a patient of memorial hospital for many years it's the only hospital I choose to come to however I want to give the most prompts to one of the workers Daniell, outstanding amazing customer service skills as well as caring for the patients and she's not even a and the nurse team Laura Grace and Donna are a wonderful nurses,
Thank you so much for taking the time out to read my review
Lorin Cokas
What an amazing experience I had at the Surgery Center here. From the minute I walked In, everyone was so friendly and everything went super smooth and fast. I was so nervous for my gallbladder surgery and every single one of the staff members made me feel comfortable and safe about my procedure. I have nothing but positive things to say about my experience here and highly recommend this location and Dr Colby Clark for surgery.
Stuart Bradin
I have had two surgeries in HCA Florida South Tampa Hospital, and they were both great. I am recovering from my last surgery, but I am happy with the stay. This is going to sound crazy but the food there was awesome. I am sure people will say that I had not eaten in a day so anything would have tasted great but that is not the case. I had two meals there and both meals were way better than anything I got while in the military.
alessandra cantone
I was taken care of right away, explained the plan, treated with care and respect, I am very grateful and would recommend this hospital to my loved ones
Jordan Donohue
I cut my thumb deeply and needed stitches. I went to an urgent care and they didn’t want to take care of me, so I drove myself here. They got me in quickly and had my six stitches and tetanus shot done in under an hour! Great place to go in an emergency! Plus everyone was kind and comforting.
Russel George
This hospital gave great care to my mom. All the staff members were great. This is the 1st time my mom posted something positive about a hospital in Tampa area. Thank you Dr. McGrogan for checking on her several times including Saturday.
Susan Giordano
My husband had outpatient surgery in this fantastic facility. We both found the staff to be exceptional, they understood his apprehension and supported him at all time There explanations and pre and post op teaching provided him with the information he needed . Listening to the staff interact with other patients we found there sincere interest in all was warm and welcoming putting us at ease . Would highly recommend this facility and staff to all.
Mary Silvers
Everyone was very professional and accommodating to my needs. If you would like a community setting rather than a large hospital setting, I would recommend checking HCA Florida South Tampa Hospital.
dinorah pastrano
My mother is a patient of Dr David Mason, he and his office Manager Denise along with HCA Florida South Tampa Hospital Staff has exceeded my expectations. My mother was very nervous, scared and not being able to speak English made it very difficult for her to trust the medical community. The staff at HCA, same day surgery center our RN Russel, the vein whisper RN Christine, OR RN Ann and Jean, CRNA Liz and Dr Lake made my mother comfortable and heard.
Dr David Mason always made made my mother feel like his only patient. My mother received top notch treatment at this facility and I would highly recommend it Dr. Mason and HCA hospital. ❤️❤️
Samantha Marcyjanik
From the online preop check in, to my arrival it was all easy and user friendly. All of the staff there was very nice and made sure to introduce themselves and their purpose when they entered the room. Made me feel comfortable and safe during my whole experience.
Karen D. Clawson
I had outpatient surgery at Memorial Hospital of Tampa (now HCA Florida South Tampa Hospital) on June 23, 2021. Thanks to the exemplary care I received, I recommend it highly and give it five stars. My patient experience was seamless from start to finish with each member of the medical team clearly communicating information so I knew what to expect at every step. The patient care was efficient and professional, but I also was given time to ask questions and address any concerns. I especially appreciated that the process of preparing me for surgery began well before the day it was scheduled, with details provided by both Memorial Hospital and the Norman Clayman Parathyroid Center, so I knew exactly where to park, where to enter, and what to expect before and after surgery. This patient education helped to alleviate any anxieties or uncertainties I may have felt otherwise. Much gratitude goes to Tobias Carling, M.D., PhD, and Andrew Rhodes, DO of Norman Clayman Parathyroid Center, Dr. Albert Chen, anesthesiologist, and the members of the wonderful team who took care of me, in alphabetical order), Ashley, Betsy, Christine, Cindy, Jackie, Judy, Kathy, Lydia, Michelle, Melissa, Rhonda, and Sarah.
Ken Johnson
I recently had a day/outpatient surgery at HCA Florida South Tampa Hospital. I am 74 years old and have had my share of experiences with hospitals and staff. I must say that this hospital provided outstanding patient care, from my pre-op screening the day before surgery, through pre-surgery, surgery, and post op care. All of the staff was very professional and cordial through what was a difficult and painful time for me. Also, the facilities were well kept and designed for the patient's comfort in mind. I highly recommend this hospital for anyone needing medical care.
Chris Wonders
My visit was great, how did I treat yall is the real question. Thank you so much might be seeing yall again soon!! Have fun!!
Dan Perez
Everybody was very nice and caring, but a few days later when I went to look up what my mom's discharged papers said about a new medication she was on, I noticed I was given the discharge papers of another patient. Otherwise I would have given 5 stars.
Joanie Petty
My recent surgery for knee replacement at HCA Florida South Tampa was such a positive experience. The nurses were kind and understanding. They answered my questions and explained everything to me. My anesthesiologist visited me before the surgery and also answered questions. Dr. Garlick (my surgeon) did the same. Everyone working there eased my fears and I would recommend this hospital/doctor to everyone!
Wilma Williams
Everyone was amazing from the surgery prep area to the floor good attitude good energy and Millie nurse manager was a doll!! I felt very well cared for thank you for all the staff at HCA my healing began long before I reached home cause of all you guys smiles & care!!! Thank you❤️
Magdalena Marsh
The sad note about this place was they misplaced my clothes that I worn in. Sure would love to get my dress, panties and bra back, you can keep the sandals. The staff and the nurses are the best I’ve ever been around. They make you feel comfortable wanted and are there for you and your needs. Great place to be seen and taken care of.
Sheila Valdez

I was cared for as if I knew them for years. Their anesthesiologist team🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥. The Nurses the pct team.

I had to stay over night after having surgery. HCA Memorial Hospital was very nice and the staff and Doctor's were wonderful. I would highly recommend them. Thank you to thr staff on the fourth floor. You were Great! Donna Mowrey
Betsy Menkes
I would like to sing the praises of the entire staff at Memorial Hospital of Tampa. I was treated with respect, dignity and compassion throughout the whole process leading up to and following my surgery. The medical staff went out of their way to make me comfortable and eased any anxiety I had. I truly appreciated the time spent with my family member by Dr Watkins in explaining details of the procedure and my condition after surgery and for his follow up phone conversation with me that evening.
Bill Moore
The doctors and nurses were great however I think they were understaffed because at times I couldn't get help.
Frank Roder
I've been receiving wound care at HCA Florida South Tampa Hospital. I'm very pleased with their through, professional and quality care.
Tony Larson
The staff were very kind and attentive to my needs. The patient area was neat and tidy. The public waiting area was dirty and there were bugs crawling around the area.
PUL GITA
The nurses on staff, were excellent!! Thalia, my night nurse attended to my every need and the day nurse, Ari was attentive and ensured an expeditious discharge.

PJ Grotz
All staff but one "agency" nurse named Betty was exceptional. Hoping she is not there on our return to get the second knee replaced
Mazie Hill
I recently had a total knee replacement surgery at Memorial Hospital. I just want to say thank you to the entire nursing , nursing assistant, receptionist and therapy staffs for your exceptional, professional, courteous, and exemplary treatment of me during my hospital stay.
Everyone in the entire hospital went above and beyond to make sure that I was comfortable and had everything I needed. You ladies and gentlemen are awesome and you all deserve big fat raises!! I would definitely recommend this hospital to anyone who is looking for care that exceeds their expectations!!
Thank you to all of you and may God bless you!!

Excellent staff from the minute I walked in till the moment I left. A 100% positive experience. Like 1 in a million these days. Bravo to the team.
Lauren Daniels
I had a great experience I had stepped on a hook and got it stuck in my foot. I forgot the doctors name but the nurse Grace was so kind and they took care of me so well.
Don Allen
Very friendly. Well organized and staff that were awesome. Thanks for a great experience
Daniel Bell
Had to go to the ER for a medical issue and saw Dr. Healy. Great Doctor and made me feel comfortable with the procedure, in and out of the ER in an hour..
Brittany Johnson
Great time. I love Dr Healy he is a phenomenal doctor. The facility was clean, busy, but staffing and medical treatment was great.
Carolyn Russell
It was very pleasant with everyone I would tell everyone to go there you treat people with respect and make you feel very comfortable.
Loretta Abernathy
I was supposed to stay one night and ended up there 3 nights.
the staff was always friendly and helpful. I especially liked my nurse Ari.
The room was comfortable and nice. It was relatively quiet for a hospital.
Check out was amazingly easy. Shortly after the doctor said I could go, I had my walking papers.
Darryl Petters
Friendly staff who did an excellent job of carrying out the necessary procedures with skill and empathy. Only reason for the missing fish star is because it was very difficult to find the location of my appointment. More signs around the buildings would be very helpful.
Corrine Harrison
The two women who preformed my test were outstanding and very accommodating - they could't have been nicer and very knowledgable.
John Lamszus
It was good and the staff was helpful I had a dog bite that is not suposed too happen too aney one
John Tipton
Everyone was so nice and professional!!! My wife and I have never been treated this well in a Hospital. Let's face it, going to the hospital is stressful, but the people there made everything so much better! I had surgery with the Norman Parathyroid team (Drs Rhodes and Carling) and they were incredibly super people to deal with! The support team a Memorial Hospital was just totally awesome! Really took care of us and provided A+++++ care!!!!
Vanessa Akins
I had the same appointment three times. The first time I can understand as I believe the technician’s father passed away. The second time the machine was broke and the third time finally went mostly as anticipated. While I was in the MRI machine I was going to have contrast done. I was never warned how I would feel once the contrast had been pushed into my body from the IV. So I am laying in this small circular object and all of a sudden my body starts getting warm and I felt like I needed to go to the bathroom. Had the technician warned me ahead of time, I would have been anticipating it but at the moment that it happened, it kind of made me nervous. So maybe next time he should let people know what to be expecting while the test is going on.
Richard Zeke Fread
I was extremely anxious about the Cardiac CT FFR (Heart Flow) procedure. Being a bit difficult to get my heart rate to the preferred level, increased my anxiety. The Techs performing the procedure, contacted my Cardiologist, via text messages, with photos of BP/heart rate monitor to verify it was OK to complete the procedure.
Then they explained every step in details, the Contrast/Nuclear Infusion and physical effects I may be experiencing and did not rush to get the test done, like techs at other locations. Needless to say, this helped me make it through the procedure and am so grateful to both of them for being so kind, patient and making me feel they truly cared about me.
This procedure was one of several I had to complete prior to lung surgery next month. They were the nicest and kindest of all the other technicians I had had contact with.
Shelby Herstone
The staff in the surgical center were awesome. They made my experience bearable. I have high anxiety and they really helped make me feel comfortable.
Thank you!!!
armanda Kitt
I absolutely love the memorial hospital surgery center from the moment I walked In January 24, 2022 @9:45 nervous as a wreck.The young lady that sat at the front desk was extremely nice to me. I told her my name and that I was scheduled for surgery 10:00 she calmly ask me to sit down and someone would be with me.I sat there not even a minute and I think her name was Michelle she came out and greeted me with a warm greeting and preceded to take me back to my room where she explained everything to me.. fast-forward everybody that took apart in my surgery came out and introduced themselves to me and my husband they told us the role that they will play doing my surgery the anesthesiologist explain to me about what he was going to do and he will be in the surgery room with me to make sure everything is going as planned.. I absolutely loved him !! Very cute Dr to lol lol.Dr Garlik then came out and greeted my husband and I and explain to us what he was going to do to my right knee after each of the nurses surgeon and all finish talking they all ask my husband and I did we have any questions...after that all I knew is the nurse call my name I responded and she told me that my surgery went great everything was over and every thing went great and as planned The sweetest young lady I think her name was Isabel. Isabel took very very, very ,very great care of me. Isabel did it with no complaints Isabelle had the biggest smile the whole while she worked with me very compassionate, such a sweet heart she's very caring when ready to be discharged she did not want me doing nothing she helped me got completely dressed she put me in the wheelchair and roll me out to the car as my husband awaited for me to get there. What's in the car Isbelle told me it was a pleasure working with me and if I needed anything please call her. Isabel wished me well. I cannot Thank the staff at memorial surgery center enough for taking such great care of me and keeping my husband informed of every step of the way during the surgery process. I truly thank you all!!! and NOT that I ever want a knee replacement again but if I ever do. I would love to have the staff at memorial surgery center take care of me once again thank you very, verymuch Amanda kitt!!
Jacqueline Robinson
I stayed overnight after getting the gastric sleeve surgery and i just want everyone to know that the head nurse(Kathleen) was amazing. She always made sure i was good. Great personality and definitely one of the best I've experienced. The rest of the staff was great but she made my stay more comfortable..thank you Kathleen..hope u read this someday!!
Tina Harrison
My stay at Memorial Hospital of Tampa was exceptional! The staff was very responsive and courteous! They all had wonderful personalities and were all very pleasant each time they visited my room. I appreciated that they treated me as a person and not just as one of their many patients.
Judy Wichterman
Staff were all very professional, caring and knowledgeable. The preparation from my hospital entry to time of surgery was very efficiently handled. My comfort and any questions I had appeared to be of genuine concern to the staff. I only had concern about the large bruise to my arm which is pictured in the attached. This is day 9, not as severe as earlier observed after leaving hospital. This may have occurred upon moving me from one bed to another?
Michelle Cano
My husband was immediately taken to a room, no long wait at all. The entire staff was wonderful.
Tdoc Barrett
My treatment at Memorial Hospital was above and beyond my expectations. After a short interview with a triage nurse, I was escorted to an examination room. Very quickly, a nurse inserted an IV and made sure that I was comfortable. Blood was examined in the laboratory and a CT scan was done shortly after that. The doctor had an excellent bedside manner and before the scan was completed, agreed to let me go and that he would call me later with those results. Happily, I was not having an appendicitis and the ER doctor did call to give me a quick summary of what he saw on the CT scan. I would highly recommend this ER for anyone needing emergency care.
The Tollios Family
Incredibly compassionate staff. All of them were what you would hope staff at any hospital would be. Very focused on the patient in every way, and simply great at relaxing you and making you feel like you are their personal friend in need of care. I was so impressed by this place.
Janeomar Ferreira
I was very well attended by the team, I just want to say thank you very much HCA Florida south Tampa Hospital
Wonderful staff throughout the process. Kind, caring, helpful, informative . The intake or front desk staff was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. Thanks ❤️
Kaylee Wensley
Dr. Healy was great! Super calming and awesome bedside manor. Walked us through every step of what was going on and why.
Updated: I am not happy about some outcomes since I visited. I was not taken seriously when I said my hand and wrist were also hurting from am accident. I have just recently found out that my wrist that wasn't assessed has a ligament tear that may have to be surgically repaired. Not happy about this miss!! Had we caught it and immobilized it immediately, the doctor doesn't think I would have had to go the surgical route.
Chevon Hinson
I stayed overnight and the majority of the staff was really nice. The only issues I had was that I had to tell about 6 or 7 diff nurses that one of my IVs was bleeding and finally it was removed. Had a little bit of and issue with the nurses station actually communicating with my nurse when I pressed the help button. I gave a 4 because the 2nd to the last nurse I had was amazing. She made my 1st stay in a hospital a pleasant experience.
Linda Thomas
The woman at the front information desk was a controlling nasty person. I walked in, knew where I was to go, and was on my way, but she called me back to ask if I needed help and then wasted my time with her nonsense. When you're about to have a procedure done, believe me you're not in the mood for her. The rest of the staff was wonderful, kind, and very attentive. Thus the four stars. Lots of ladies named Elizabeth working there. It was a fun pass time chatting about nick names waiting for my turn. Those nurses pulled the score up. Very knowledgeable and nice too.
Sheree Conrad
I want to thank the surgeons, the nurses, and all the staff. This was the best experience I've had with surgery. The team was caring, kind, professional, and expert. It made the whole surgery easy and far less intimidating. I can't thank you all enough for your help.
Sheri Levens
The imaging department at Memorial Hospital is stellar! From the staff at the front desk to the mammography technician and ultrasound technician, all personnel were engaging, attentive, and compassionate. Questions were answered respectfully and with care. The physical layout and decor are pleasant and soothing. There was a place for the family member to sit close to the treatment room beyond the general waiting room. COVID protocols of course were carefully followed. I was the family member in this visit but will return for all my own imaging needs.
Shirley Rubin
My experience at Memorial Hospital for my colonoscopy was excellent.
The nursing staff were very thorough, kind and explained everything I would be going along the way. The rooms were immaculate and I was taken on time (immediately) when I checked in. My doctor, Dr. M. Hanan, is a professional, kind and caring doctor. I felt very well cared for the entire time.
Diane Schmidt
All of the staff at Memorial Hospital were professional, very compassionate and accommodating. Everyone worked as a team to make my stay very comfortable and seamless. The Hospital was very clean and well designed to facilitate the flow of patients checking in and getting prepared for their procedures. Overall, my experience was excellent and I highly recommend this Hospital.
Carmen Tafur
I had two eye surgeries at this hospital and I cannot thank enough to the Doctors, nurses and team that took care of me on October 20, and 27 of 2021.
First, to my awesome ophthalmologist specialist in Ocular surface and dry eye, Dr Steven Maskin, M.D. who is my hero and my Doctor who treats my eye problem and did the two eye surgeries.
Christine, the RN charge nurse, Kathy who was the sweetest and patient nurse, Lydia, Betsy, Judy my compatriot Peruvian, and the whole team I didn’t see but were behind the scenery working hard provided me the best health service ever.
I was so frightened going for the first time to a hospital to have a surgery, but Kathy the nurse who was my first direct contact with the process of the surgery gave me back my peace and confidence. With her clear calm voice and patience explained to me about the pre op preparation and even provided me with many blankets to keep me warm.
Every Dr and nurses were remarkable.
Thank you everyone 😊😊😊
Maria Utset
From the front desk receptionist who greeted us with a smile early in the morning, to the surgery waiting area , everyone that prepared me for surgery, all of the hospital staff, nurses, surgery asst, anesthesiologist......all who took care of me, made me feel comfortable and really cared for....excellent care by all!!! I have been to different hospitals for surgery, this was the first here at HCA.....the care from everyone was amazing!!!!
R G
I am overwhelmed with gratitude to all the staff at Memorial Hospital surgical center. From start to finish, it was top notch. Sandra, Christine, Dr. House , Dr. Serrano, Jerante and every other nurse that attended to me was amazing! I would come here again for any procedure. Thank you Memorial Hospital!
Ron Robison
I received outstanding patient care as a surgical patient at Memorial Hospital of Tampa. The nursing and physician staff were excellent and the communication and care was outstanding. They even brought me a hot peppermint scented towel to wipe my face and hands on after surgery and the morning of my discharge. This is probably the best patient care I have received at a hospital and that is saying a lot since I am a physician myself.
Brittany McRae
Probably the best hospital I have ever been to. It is a new hospital I truly it stays this way.
Andres Baez
The general experience was amazing. From entrance to ER the staff showed the care for patients. No long waiting hours. Doctor Hili (pardon the spelling) is such a wonderful human being. He really represents the traditional conception of what being a doctor used to be. He really means to care for the patience. Miss Angela (lead nurse) was also amazing. What a great lady. And of course the techs and housekeeping lady were also amazing. Overall a great hospital. Thank you!
Linda Myers
Nurses came frequently to check on you. Very friendly and clean environment. The food was good.
Lee Wisher
My experience at Tampa Memorial Hospital was the most thorough, fast, professional I have received in a very long time. After being admitted and having an ultrasound, MRI, Cat scan and Nuclear med scan, I was put on the 2nd floor. My Nurse Julie on the day shift was amazing and so attentive. My night nurse Phil and the rest of the staff day and night were wonderful as well. Anything I needed was taken care of quickly.
Mauricio Alarcon
A critical health issue (stroke) that started with an ER visit turned into a 3 night stay.
This would be a very long review if I had to mention every individual that came in touch with us by name (Drs, nurses, radiologists, therapists, etc). I cannot praise enough the level of compassionate care that we received.
After considering heading to TGH or St Jo's, we decided to go for Memorial Hospital (being smaller, more personable and close).
At the ER we were seen right away with proper diagnostic work and follow-up neurologist tele-consult being performed timely. No waiting in a dark hallway lining up for the MRI machine or for the attending to be available. Everything was stat.
Once admitted, we got a proper consult with a top-rated neurologist (NO RESIDENTS) who intimately knew our case, carefully plotted and explained a treatment plan.
All the nurses and staff at the floor are amazing, knowledgeable (they really knew what was going on and had a great level of communication), not a single blemish during our stay.
The difference between a community hospital and a large one is huge. We're not just another patient in a long list.
I will definitely make Memorial Hospital my first choice for urgent care (unless my brains are oozing out of my skull).
On this Thanksgiving day, I'm thankful for absolutely everyone at Memorial Hospital for getting my wife home today.
My only complaint is that they dropped "Memorial Hospital" with the new branding. I couldn't find it on Google maps... Got there by following the H signs on the road.
Muva Beauty bar
Everybody was sooo nice and kind there to help , Nicole on the second floor was very kind and patient with me
Jackie Ramos
Hospital visits always seem to be scary (at least for me) specially when you’re going in for a procedure/surgery. I have never heard of this hospital, and it was the one available to proceed with my procedure due to COVID restrictions. I didn’t want to wait any longer so I accepted. I’m glad I did, everyone from the valet personal to the very last nurse who wheeled me out was courteous, kind and considerate. I never felt pressured to hurry or ignored when I needed them. The facilities are very cleaned and spacious, offering enough adequate room for all.
Kudos to Dr. Peden and her team ☺️ what my fiancé and I admired the most, is that she offered to pray with us before my surgery 😭 that was confirmation! that God was present through the entire process. Her prayer was a blessing and brought peace to our hearts.
Vicky Edgerly
I had a 2-night stay at this hospital following some surgery. My nursing teams (both day shift AND night shift) were great caregivers all during my stay. They all acted with the utmost professionalism and I felt well cared for. They each had their own 'ways' of doing things but was evident at all times that they all respected one another and worked well together. I loved my nurses!
The food, however, was rather yucky and I did not eat much while there.
Michelle Eberhart
Professional, compassionate, thorough, and kind. I was in their same day surgery department and was very pleased with my treatment. A nurse even took her own money to buy me a Diet Coke while recovering.
Judith Patno
Everyone was so nice to me. I didn't know exactly what to expect and they explained everything so well that it took all my concerns away. I got their early because it was the first time I had been to this facility but they called me back and started processing me right away. I still had to wait for my time of my appointment, but everything was done quickly since we started things earlier. I would definitely go back to this facility again.

The nurses were attentive; and made every effort to keep me as comfortable as possible.
it was difficult to lay straight on the short bed. Upon discharge, the disconnected IV drip was left in my arm on Wednesday. Had to call the doctor on Saturday; so it could be removed.
Dottie Kent
HCA Florida was absolutely amazing! Wonderful bed side manner! Very compassionate staff!
Tribe of Judah
My night nurse and aid both treated me like I was bothering them when I asked for pain medication. When I came out of the restroom my night nurse was there so I asked her if she could help me lift my legs into the bed, and she did it with an attitude...I had a hernia repair/removal and gastric bypass surgery....the doctor had to cut into my stomach muscle so it was painful getting in and out of bed.
I couldn't wait for their shift to be over.
Kimberly
Starlin and her team at HCA did right by me when I initially didn’t have a great experience. Thank you for making it right without the hassle.
Frederick Dusold
Phenomenal! The nursing staff was amazing from the time I was checked in and prepped for surgery, and my follow up care on the unit was amazing. The nursing staff were attentive, caring, friendly and professional. My procedure went great too, the surgical team was outstanding and efficient.
The whole experience was top notch. I feel extremely blessed to have the Memorial Hospital team providing my care. Choose Memorial Hospital over others if you have the choice :)
Linda Hall
I can only say that this was the most organized experience I have ever had with a surgery. Communication prior to and after surgery has been perfect. The staff was so helpful and considerate. Vy helped me preop and Betsy helped pre and post op. I cannot say enough nice things about them. Very professional and very caring. They even took care of my husband while I was in surgery. I recommend this hospital without reservation!
Janet Carlson
Excellent And pleasant care from all staff in the catherzation Unit and ICU staff for overnight observation
Joe Bergman
Went in for colonoscopy. Staff was excellent. Very congenial and professional!
Wendy Wright
Took kids dad there today. The experience was amazing, very friendly and personable staff. Doctor N. Healy was compassionate, knowledgeable and hands down one of the best doctors I've ever seen. Highly recommend this hospital.
Shane Peterson
I thank everyone there and highly recommended this facility for your medical needs!
S. McCall
All the nurses and attending physicians were on their best game and made my stay as comfortable as they could.
The cafeteria on the other hand was less than pleasant. I received a lecture both times I was late ordering. One time was due to a procedure being done and the other was I had dozed off due to medication.
Additionally the pharmacy closes at night and the doctors were unable to provide me items to reduce my discomfort with eye drops.
R Tuscano
I had major surgery at Memorial Hospital and it was my first time visiting this hospital as a patient. They are so on top of everything and don't miss anything needed for you to have a smooth surgery date and speedy , peaceful recovery. The pre-op intake team was very friendly and prompt.. Kimberly in diagnosis is a true gem. My pre-op nursing team was great and made me feel very comfortable before surgery. The nursing staff both AM and PM were by far the best nursing staff I have encountered in any hospital.
They made my recovery so good and was there for my every need. You buzzed them and they came right away. My night nurse Shalee was so polite and caring to my needs. She really cares about her patients. My day time nurse Kaitlynn was just as sweet as her! They both are knowledgeable and has plenty of bed side manner.
I would recommend this hospital to anyone that needs to have surgery. You will love your room-- it was HUGE! Everything was beautiful- looked brand new and the AC was amazing! My room had a huge TV and good cable channels.
Thank you for all that you all do for your patients. You really are a hard act to follow. Last but not least, Thanks also to DR. Taggar for A++++ medical care!
Kim Dukes-Henderson
Dr.Richard DiCicco and the entire surgery team were extremely professional. They were precise and explaining to me step-by-step what they were going to do before I was put to sleep, while I was sleeping , and what to expect once I woke up. The entire Hospital staff was so loving, attentive, and caring. Considering I did have major surgery, and this was a hospital stay, I must admit this was the best hospital stay I ever experienced. Except when I gave birth to my first child in 1998. I take my hat off to the entire staff from the main desk when entering the hospital, the administrative assistant who checked me in to surgery, the prep and charge nurses who assisted in getting me ready for surgery, the anesthesiologist, the angel of a nurse who was able to find veins in my arm without making me a pin cushion, the nursing staff in recovery, to the nursing staff on the main hospital floor who took care of me my two days stay in the hospital . Most importantly Dr.Richard DiCicco ! I could not have asked for a better, more caring, and professional staff. Thank you.
Lee Scot
I had gotten COVID, like a lot of people. The Nurses did an awesome job of keeping me comfortable and informed about what I can do to assist in getting rid of the covid. The Doctors were okay, when they came in, they did give me a very "GENERAL" update of my condition and were extremely brief. It made it harder to ask questions and inquire about other issues.
When i went in, I told everyone straight out, I had no insurance and not much money at that time. They still took me in and took care of me. I was very surprised.
However, when I left, they really didn't give me much information about my condition. They gave me a list of mediations to take, which weren't expensive. Such as, I had a super high sugar count, and a very high blood pressure. Although they gave me names of doctors, since I had very little money and no insurance, none of the doctors would talk to me. So, i was very disappointed in the lack of information and direction to go in.
I will have to wait a few months, when the market opens up, or I get a job with some form of health insurance in order to get the items looks at or seriously taken care of.
Overall, even without funds or insurance the hospital took very good care of me. I would definitely recommend this hospital to anyone who needs help.
Rhonda Paul
Everyone was very caring and friendly. Great outpatient experience!
Stacey Hudon
I went to the E.R. in the middle of the night. The staff at the front desk were fantastic. They got me admitted immediately and made sure I could charge my phone while I was waiting for my ride home. Every single technician, nurse, and doctor who treated me acted immediately to treat me, make sure I was as comfortable as possible, and treated me with kindness. They also made sure I was well informed about everything. Patient care was definitely everyone’s priority at the E.R. at Memorial Hospital.
Annette Coleman
My experience was awesome from my stay to going home. My Dr. Taggar bedside manners and his NP was so loving. I had gastric bypass surgery and my PCT Desiree’ made sure I had everything I needed the nurses was so dedicated I wasn’t just a number I was a patient and my pain the walking and sitting up from my nurses it was done all with love Thank you all at the surgical care center for going beyond and above. Thank you for my stay.
Marie Ochsner
My experience for surgery at this hospital was excellent. The pre-op, surgical team and post-op staff were very professional and never failed to inform me of their names, what their job was in the procedure and were very kind and listened! The floor nurses were just as kind reassuring and always responsive to any request or need! I would not hesitate for a minute to have surgery or care here.
Maritza M Dorante
We were in a car accident and my husband was brought into the ER by ambulance, I drove the car to the ER. They didn’t allow me to go inside with him and I had to wait for my turn, so my husband was done and had to wait 50 minutes in the ER waiting room for me while in pain. The ER waiting room was very warm and at times we were standing up if we left our chair. No complaints on the nurses and doctors.
Nirmala Mensche
The hospital staff/nurses are amazing. They were very attentive and very supportive. I was so nervous about my thyroid removal surgery but they kept me calm. The only thing was in my room after surgery there was a condenser or something making noise all night and all day.
Robbie Gill
The people and service were excellent. We could not have had a better experience.
Hildz Ramirez
Don't understand why Memorial Hospital of Tampa is only 3 ⭐️?. I was reluctant to have my surgery at Memorial Hospital, but I had no other choice and took a change. After my surgery I was so impressed with the caring I received, I decided to write a letter and rate the hospital. I have not a bad thing to say about my staying and recuperation. I had the best service ever. The nursing staff were incredibly caring, compassionate, and understanding. They were continually trying to make me as comfortable as possible. This was my first time at this hospital, but I most tell you, I would not hesitate to do any other needed procedure at this facility. The cleanness and caring was outstanding! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ For you! Thank you for a job well done!!!.
Patricia Jenkins
Everyone was so nice made me feel so good. Some improvement needed because all nurses are not the same. Like the student nurses.
Christy Vasquez
Staff was excellent for my outpatient surgery. Very attentive and friendly to my needs.
David Helmick
Great nursing staff on the 4th floor. Pre-Op nurses were great
J Sears
Excellent care and treatment being provided at this hospital! I am in the healthcare industry myself, so I have pretty high standards and expectations. I am so impressed with the treatment and care that my family member has received here. The facility is very clean and the staff has been amazing. Every single employee that we have had contact with has been very professional, friendly/outgoing, and extremely helpful. Staff actually greet you whenever they see you or pass you in the hallways...I don't get that at my own Dr's office! They all seem to really enjoy and appreciate their jobs. Kudos to the management team here for obviously driving excellent patient care, presenting a clean and organized facility and making excellent hiring selections. Take care of the employees here at this facility....they really go the extra mile and make your facility a shining star. My only negative feedback would be on the cafe. The food isn't great and very, very few choices. The staff in there were all very nice as well. I am sure being a small hospital, it is hard to manage the cafe and not have a lot of food wasted but it could really benefit from some changes to provide more choices and tastier selections.
Sandi Wallace
I cannot say enough about the ongoing quality of service and professionalism I have always received at the Memorial Hospital Diagnostic Center. From beginning to end, every person is friendly, organized, knowledgeable, and efficient. I have a yearly diagnostic mammogram and ultrasound, therefore, my test results are read immediately by a radiologist and shared with me BEFORE I even leave the facility. One cannot buy peace of mind. Additionally, this facility provides 3D digital mammogram imaging, which is the best quality available today. Do not put off your yearly mammogram because you are anxious. Make a potentially life-saving appointment today at the Memorial Hospital Diagnostic Center. You will be glad you did!
Cherry Flynn
I was admitted to the emergency room at Memorial Hospital in Tampa after having a migraine for 7 days while on vacation. I had nothing left in my stomach, was dizzy, and thought I was going to lose it.
After about 30 minutes or so after checking in, I met the doctor who was nice. He said he would get an IV going soon to help with pain, although it seemed to take a very long time for it to come, and the nurse apologized for the delay.
He was extremely sweet and caring!!! His name was Alexander. He put me at ease and finally I was able to be released late that afternoon after arriving there in the morning.
All in all, I was pleased with the care I received at Memorial. Both the doctor and the nurse were wonderful.
My only complaint would be that it took so long for the IV to be delivered to me.
Marc Anderson
I came in for minor procedure and was well taken care of within my short window there. That goes from the front desk at check in, through pre-op prep to the procedure and recovery itself.
Nancy Klaver
The staff was awesome. would recommend for knee replacement surgery
Stacey Estes- Juve
I had an outpatient procedure here on Dec 14 2021. I am employee of HCA in Kansas City, Mo. I was excited to have surgery in a sister hospital. All the hospital staff were friendly and seemed to have great teamwork. I would like to especially thank CNRA Elizabeth and my PACU nurse, Faith. You are both AMAZING nurses!
Dom Riga
Everyone was polite , friendly , courteous and professional . I was there for a very serious reason but I felt comfortable throughout the visit
Mary DeLuca
I have never had a better experience. From start to finish everyone was top notch. Thank you to the following for assisting me during and after surgery Kathy, Gene, Art, Dr. Monterio, Karen, Ali and Michelle i think that is everyone. This medical care has been the best I received since I moved down here and if I ever need anything in the future, I’ll be back! Thank you for all that you do and the amazing care you all provided me with. Mary
Stewart Donnell
Everyone from Alan at reception and the treatment professionals were polite, and competent.
J Feinstein
I was so blessed to have surgery here by two of the world's best surgeons. I received excellent care from Dr. Carling and Dr. Suh! Everyone that I came in contact with was very professional, compassionate and skilled at their calling. From scheduling to discharge, I could not have asked for a better experience. My surgery went perfectly. I am very pleased with the care I received at Memorial Hospital of Tampa. What a great team of professionals. Thank you to all of you.
Diana LeBrun
Everything went okay. I didn’t get to meet one of my Doctors or I didn’t meet them when I was awake. Dr Rhoades was very personable, Dr Carling breezed thru, talked too fast and I wasn’t awake if Dr Watkins came in. One of the workers in the radiology department did not wear her mask correctly. She had her mask around her neck. She did put it up when I asked her to. Things were fine but it was kind of cattle car medicine.
dennis brochey
From the moment I arrived in the ER with severe indigestion, the entire team from the initial triage assessment until I was transferred to Memorial Hospital worked with the utmost urgency and reassurance that they were working to figure out what was wrong. I ended up being diagnosed with a heart attack and was within hours in the cardiac cath lab getting 4 balloons and 2 stents in my heart. I was transferred to the ICU for observation and released 2 days later. The entire staff from the housekeepers, techs, phlebotomists, RN’s and Dr Stauffer and his team were top notch and I am incredibly blessed and privileged to have been saved and cared for by all of them. Thank you from the bottom of my heart ( now that it’s been repaired) and I’m working on my recovery strategies moving forward.
Jennifer Tontini
I had an outpatient procedure done at MemorIal. From intake to the recovery room, every staff member with whom I had the pleasure of interacting was helpful, courteous, professional, and kind. I was nervous about having my heart cath done, and the nurses and technicians took the time to ensure I understood the procedure and was at ease knowing I was in their hands. (In fact, as I was prepped for the procedure, I asked about the monitors and information/readings they showed. The tech cheerfully shared the details and walked me through everything as we waited for the doctor. The tech even walked me through the anatomy showing in my images after and humored my fascination with the technology!)
The recovery nurse made me feel like her only patient. She was sweet, thoughtful, and made my two-plus hour recovery time a pleasure. She also ensured that I understood my post-procedure instructions, and reviewed them with my family in room and on the phone to be doubly sure that I had a support system to guide my care at home.
I had a choice as to where my procedure would be performed and I chose Memorial. I’m so very glad I did, and I will certainly choose the hospital again for future healthcare needs.
Gerald Hansen
This was my first surgery and I couldn't have be put at a better place then Memorial Hospital. From the staff that I saw for my pre-ops and the staff for the two days I spent in the hospital for the surgery, they were all Professional, friendly and caring. Thank you for a great experience!
Josh Hahn
The good: they did a great job taking care of me and did a great job with the procedure. The important things you need from a hospital, this hospital has. If you're a patient, you don't need to read on because that's all that matters.
The bad: there was some confusion about me signing in, they seemed to have lost me in the system. They also needed me to call to set up a follow-up instead of just scheduling one like dentists or other doctors do. These were minor problems that got sorted and should not impact decisions or impressions, just throwing it out in hope they improve.
Overall great experience!
Crisilin Rizer
Thank you everyone and to the nurses ,the whole team for out patient surgery, taking care of me and to my Doctor his over qualified!
Dr.kwitko your amazing! Thank you so much.
The hospital is very clean and the staff very nice!
DOMINIC ACCARIA
Everyone at the hospital went above and beyond to make sure we had the best care possible.
Z
Sliced opened my hand last week and needed some stitches desperately. I was in and out in 30 mins. Quick, clean, efficient and Dr. G is the best in the emergency room! Appreciate the staff here.
Frannie Beth Concaugh
Every aspect of my care was top notch ! My nurses Stephanie, Brandon in the ER and
Arianna and Marlib on the 3rd floor kept me comfortable and informed. The nursing leaders
Shalee, Kimmie and Jeff always stopping by to make sure my needs and expectations were met. Care like family and they did just that! Dietary services, the CNA’s, housekeeping and transport were so kind and made me feel welcomed, OR staff from anesthesia to nursing had me covered. This is what healthcare is, one team !
Ed Benus
I had knee replacement surgery just seven days ago the whole process of dealing with this hospital prior to my surgery and the follow up experience is the equivalent of a five-star restaurant. Dr. Barry Craythorne was my surgeon he and his staff did everything in their powers to make sure that I was not only comfortable but understood what was going on at all times.
Paul Lynch
All of the nurses and staff were very friendly and warm, both to each other and the patients. Nice to see.
Mercy T. Rhames
What can I say, this place is amazing. During a series of unfortunate events of me passing out and getting whisked away through the ambulance(which were also great)the staff here at Memorial Hospital went above and beyond. They treated me like family and I’m forever grateful and in depth for caring for me.
The only negative I have was what happened today. Normally when I was discharged from the ER, I would wait in the designated waiting area. Needless to say on this day, the two ladies that were working on 01/06/2021 around 1:15pm (one had black hair with glasses pulled back ponytail a green uniform and the other one was blonde and short with a pulled ponytail in a blue uniform)were very rude to me and three other women in the waiting area. According to CBC standard, only 10 people can be in the same room at 6 feet apart. THERE WERE ONLY FOUR OF US! six if you count the two rude workers. They told us we had to wait outside. Now what if it was raining or freezing cold that day. The fact that they were the first people you see when you come in puts a bad name for this hospital. The other times that I was here the front people were very pleasant. These two that were there today should be ashamed of themselves.
Overall, my experience here is A+. I highly recommended getting treatment here.
Jennifer Greco-Ball
The care I received from admission to discharge was phenomenal. I could have asked for more caring nurses and nurses assistants. Beyond pleased with my entire experience at HCA Florida South Tampa Hospital.
Maggie George
Spent an afternoon in the ER. The staff was great. Thank you so much.
Shelbie Madison
I could not thank the nurses, doctors, and staff of this hospital enough for treating me during my surgery and stay. This hospital has some of the nicest, most caring staff I’ve ever met. They truly all were a joy to be around and made me feel so at home. From the OR, to the surgery floor. Every single person I met was a joy.
Charles Organ
Absolutely the best hospital care I have had in 8 surgeries. Best hospital food ever. Staff called after I was released and made sure I was okay.
Maria
I had surgery here a few years ago. Although waiting for test results and updates in the ER for hours made me feel anxious, I was able to get in surgery that same night I came in with all the nurses/doctors comforting me. Everything was explained properly and professionally - I did not mentally/physically feel uncomfortable at all.
Susan Taylor
The nursing and auxiliary staff were wonderful!! Can't say enough good things about them. I never lacked for the care I needed, and their kind hearts and competence are above perfect! However, the food was just awful, and the hospital is old and badly in need of renovation. The surgical waiting room was less than inviting for family members. Hope that soon, the interior reflects the excellent care given at this hospital!
Richard Gedzelman
My wife had a parathyroidectomy here and I must say that the experience was wonderful. The doctors, nurses and staff were professional and compassionate. Every step was fully explained. I would recommed this hospital to everyone.
JAH BLESS
I absolutely love this hospital! Dr.Healy is actually the first the doctor that actually listened to me. I recently moved back to Tampa from Atlanta and started having health issues and the doctors in Atlanta literally ignored me. But with Dr. Healy he literally got a sticky note and a pen & started writing down all my health issues. I’m in tears writing this because he’s literally the first Dr that took his time and helped me. Many blessings to him and to everyone in this hospital. Can’t thank you guys enough. We need more hospitals like this!
Brandy Grillo
Recently had surgery and the staff was amazing. Every nurse especially the IV nurse she was super good !!!!!Everyone had such a good bedside manner.
Leroy Neson
The surgery was no issues. Only problem is the young nurse putting in IV pick lines. It's been over a week now. And my left hand is still in deep pain very very swollen and every fours as the nurse gave pain meds. They set it on fire jamming meds in so fast. Even after I told them several times. The 11 pm nurse was only one that cared enough. To slow down. And give them slowly. The other 3 shifts could careless. I mean really they could see the pick line was messed up. My hand all puffed up. Really left bad taste with me.
Marsha Bressack
The staff was professional and kind and dressed in beautiful periwinkle blue outfits. They looked so cheery. It was very comforting to see my doctor was there and he came to me and told me we were ready. My procedure went well and I appreciate Memorial Hospital for their management, skill and caring. Bless each one.
Malena Rosa
Very nice and clean surgical center. Courteous and professional staff. I was nervous and the nurses and staff were understanding and positive, helping me with conversation and responding to my questions and concerns in a caring manner. Staff worked well together and I saw their team spirit in the way they communicated and shared information and tasks. The process and procedure all went well. Great service and care to patients.
Dotty Gurbikaian
I was extremely pleased and impressed with the care I received at Memorial Hospital of Tampa. This was my first surgery at this hospital but I would definitely recommend it to others. The food was excellent and the staff from the housekeeping to nursing and medical techs were so pleasant and caring. I didn't have to wait for a response if I rang for anything.
Antone Santos
This is one of the best hospitals I ever been in.The nurses and all the staff with outstanding personalities.Everyone treated you first class and very caring.Everything was clean and spotless.
Cesar A Galban
Great staff, they are very very professional and take care of all patients at the same time...
Fred Fox
Very good care all were very attentive and professional especially Maria
Joannie Gonzalez
I had a parathyroid surgery with the Norman Parathyroid team and days before the surgery they were pending on me, when I arrived at the hospital they treated me super well, and all the remaining time. I was in recovery and after having discharged me they were calling me to check how I was. They have a great nurse team.
Dorothy O'Brien
Hands down the nicest hospital experience I have ever had. I was dealing with an allergy situation and they had me in a room and seen by a doctor within 10 minutes. Dr. Sleszynski was wonderful, as were both nurses that helped me. 12 hours later I am symptom free and extremely comfortable.
Caroni Contini
The day staff was fabulous. They were caring, at your side when needed.
Now the night shift was a total different experience. If you call them, it would take calling them twice and still had to wait at least 20 minutes before they should up. They disconnected my IV so I could go for a walk. I came back let them know and then fell asleep. I woke up 2 hours later to find out that my IV was still disconnected. So I call them again and it took 34 minutes more for someone to come and connect me to the IV. Considering I just had surgery and needed to be hydrate, what can I say. Simple terrible service.
I left the hospital the next morning as soon as I could.
Bobby Talman
I recently came to Memorial Hospital ER Tampa with severe pain in my abdominal area. They were quick to get me in to be examined. I required a blood test prior to be given any pain medication, but within 20 minutes of arrival, pain medication was given. I was admitted for surgery. Looking back, I was really well taken care of from the moment I walked in to when I left 48 hours later. ER staff, surgery staff and nursing were at the top of their game and I could feel their profession was one they chose because they care so much. I was impressed by all departments as each one performed their expertise that made me sit back and say " they got this" and I just watched in amazement how they worked as a team. Too many people to thank in this post, but I thank all of you for your compassion and caring. A very special thanks to Donna, the ER nurse who took care of me upon arriving. She set the stage for all the other staff interactions to be encountered.
Sincerely,
Bobby Talman
Vera Auton
We love the care we receive at HCA Florida South Tampa Hospital. Staff are always friendly, efficient and knowledgeable. Always great service and medical care. We live 40 miles from this hospital but it is always our hospital of choice.
Patrick o
Excellent experience. I was there for a minor orthopedic outpatient procedure. All of the staff were friendly, professional, and efficient. A special "shout out" to RN's Zoe, Memo, and Rusty in the outpatient areas and Dr. Lake the Anesthesiologist. All of the demonstrated a caring and compassionate approach to their duties.
Della Griscti
Great surgeon and nursing staff, quick checkout. 👍 …
Hattie Adams
I had a awesome stay at Memorial, I felt safe & my nurse staff were very compassionate to my needs & concerns. The staff were in positive spirits which is a very good thing during Covid.
Thank you Memorial Hospital for your amazing service. Fyi nurse Waydir is an angel. God Bless
Milagros Reyes
As always the stay was a good experience. What made extra special this time was that my 11 year old daughter was allowed to stay with me and was so very helpful. The following nurses get extra stars nurse Lindsey and nurse Rose as well as Elizabeth the pct were very attentive and made sure we we're not in need of anything. Thank you again for the great experience at Memorial. Oops, almost forgot nurse Vanessa with dialysis was great and also gave me some very useful info about dialysis since I am new to it. Thank you ALL again from my family and I. Till next time.
tonycioni
The staff was courteous and professional and tended to my needs appropriately. There seemed to be a disconnect between the hospital and my surgeon and his staff. I was given an arrival time but not my surgery time so I ended up arriving nearly 3.5 hours prior to my scheduled surgery time. In any event, this was my second procedure here and I’d follow my surgeon anywhere, I suppose.
Joseph Geary
I was in for a day procedure in the cardiac surgical suite. To put it straight: I was treated like royalty. The pre-op physicians, nursing and allied professionals had me prepped and ready to roll on time, the surgical team was excellent and explained everything to me to my satisfaction, and the recovery and discharge and procedures went smoothly. Everyone was friendly and professional. I couldn't have asked for better treatment.
Sara Roberts
I went in for a simple procedure, and ALL of the staff made me feel so welcome and at ease. I especially want to thank Betsy for taking good care of me and letting me know the next time I return she would take care of me as well. Thank you to all of the wonderful staff at this hospital!
Frederick Laurie
Very patient friendly, providing exceptional and compassionate patient care. The surgical team organization was outstanding and provided a smooth transition from admission to discharge. Nursing team leader Jackie went far beyond expectations in assisting us and is a special asset to Memorial Hospital.
D Lo
Have been to the Emergency
care several times throughout the years.
I have always found the staff to be competent and friendly with an exception of one or two individuals who just aren't personable or don't like germs.
The waiting room is usually always empty as the check-in process is speedy and efficient. Within minutes you are taken into the unit and admitted into the care facility to be seen by nurses, doctors and billing, of course.
I will continue to use the urgent care at Memorial as I have always felt I have received the immediate and necessary care while there.
cheryl dlarotta
My experience was a very positive one. The nurse that attended to me (Sarah) was right on top of things and very friendly. All staff was friendly and were concerned about my needs. I always have a nice experience at Memorial. In fact, I really feel at home there even though I don't visit very often thank goodness.
Patrick Ratchford
My experience at Memorial Hospital was worth writing about. I had my colonoscopy exam at Memorial on October 20, 2020. I felt that the entire staff were looking out for me to insure that my visit was a pleasant one.The anesthesiologist Dr. Gray was very thorough and concerned for my well being and Dr. Mason was the best. Dr. Mason set the curve for proper care and professionalism in his role as the surgeon in charge. The nurses were very nice and professional. My kudos to nurses Elena and Kay and my very special thanks and appreciation to nurse Scarlet Leone for her personal attention to me and my brother (also there that day for his colonoscopy). I am pleased to give Memorial Hospital a FIVE STAR rating! I'd give a SIX STAR if it was available!! See you all again in 10 years!!!
Chrstina Roberson
They have a great staff there very friendly very attentive very helpful thank you for taking good care of me.
Bob Sullivan
Kris, my wife, had parathyroid surgery yesterday. I can't say enough, oh yes I can. AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME!!!! We were greeted by the covid team, they were very helpful , and friendly. The surgical process continues to the Associate that checked us in explaining what happens next. Kris had the best surgical team. All 3 doctors came in, introduced themselves and asked if we had questions. All of the nurses were very friendly, and very educated. The total experience was A +. Memorial should be very proud of the team. Thanks everybody!!!

Belinda Theoret
I don't usually take the time to leave a review but this time I feel that it is really important that I do. Some of the reviews I read on here frightened me because I was having surgery at Memorial Hospital on 4/13. I thought it was a good idea to check out the reviews since I usually have procedures in Tampa done at Tampa General. There were bad reviews left by a few...mostly about the staff being unfriendly or unprofessional.
My guard was up from the moment I walked in the door that early morning for an 8:30 surgery. From the very 1st person that checked me in... to the nurse that made sure I got to the car safely, this was by far an incredibly caring and thoughtful medical staff. They even honored my request (without question) to have my IV in my arm and not my hand. Anyone that says this medical staff is unprofessional, uncaring, or any other negative feedback is not speaking from an unbiased opinion. To the medical personnel that took care of me: you have my personal "Thank you" for making a scary procedure as pleasant as possible. Thank you for putting my mind at ease and answering all of my questions. and thank you for being so caring and thoughtful. Two weeks post-op and I'm doing great! :-)
Cheryl Hurewitz
I had 2 experiences w/ the outpatient surgical dept
& i must say how wonderful, kind, considerate & organized
the nursing staff is. i can't think of another hospital
that impressed me as much as memorial. they deserve even
more than 5 stars
John Poteet
I was very pleased with the services I received from the hospital. I had to be in the hospital for a day. The nurses that took care of me in room 314 were great. Every one I came in contact with were excellent. The nurse that took care of me before surgery was great.
Carmelo MELETICHE
I recently underwent a special procedure for a colonoscopy at Memorial Hospital in Tampa. All of those with whom I interacted behaved in a professional and courteous manner showing a great deal of compassion and caring. The special procedures team , especially my doctor and attending nurse were extremely supportive and attentive.
JP LaCasse
Walked in for an X-ray. No appointment needed. I was seen within 15 minutes and the Tech, Alan, was great. Very convenient and positive experience.

Im not sure where the bad reviews are coming from. Aside from scheduling I had a great surgical experience. The staff pre and post op were phenomenal, in great spirits and attentive. With regards to scheduling i was called to arrive 2 hours earlier than originally scheduled but didn’t t go back until 2 hours after originally scheduled. That was a bit frustrating especially being hooked up to IV and needing to pee all the time lol.... aside from that, I would recommend and have since my surgery, Memorial Hospital.
Cathy Hirsch
Although the directions to enter the area I needed, my experience was wonderful! I was checked in quickly, got my Covid-19 test over with and my scan, was whisked back to my changing room to wait for the surgery schedule to open for me. I was checked out quickly after surgery was over and on my way home by 3 PM. Excellent care!
Benjamin Shaw
Everything was Awesome! The staff is top notch!
Frank John Garcia
I grew up in tampa and been to practically every hospital at one time or the other. My very best hospital experiences were at your Memorial. I had a hernia and a colonoscopy. Everyone was great. Super organized, friendly, no late check outs….Wonderful experience!
Rebecca Anne
I travelled 3 hours (one way) for a specific surgeon (Dr. Hyun Suh) who was affiliated with MH of Tampa. To be honest the hospital didn’t really factor into my decision at all.
Shortly after scheduling my surgery, MHofT contacted me for preregistration, it was soooooo easy. They had basically all my info, had coordinated everything with my doctor, offered a text based service for my friends and family to be ‘connected’ to my progress, answered all my questions. I was impressed and it helped relive some of the stress.
Upon arrival my nurse Kathy REALLY helped. My nerves were high and she tended to every need+ it made the time from arrival to surgery less stressful. ❤️
The hospital was clean, the staff was amazing, Covid protocols were followed to a T, my family member was allowed to stay with me yo until I left - I have nothing bad to report. 🤷🏻♀️
Patricia Buchner
Husband had surgery in the "outpatient surgical unit" and it was fantastic. Absolutely nothing to complain about. It was professional, clean, the safety procedures followed perfectly. The family waiting room had breakfast muffins and fresh coffee stocked. It was comfortable and very tidy. Loved the Status Board you can see updates on to know where your loved is in the process. Everyone was very nice and quick and efficient.
Robert LeFrancois
This was by far the best hospital stay I've had (of four in the past 30 years). Every single person I came into contact with was kind, compassionate, friendly and professional. Big shout out to the nurses on the surgical ward who were all great, and for teaching me that September has 31 days! (Dina). Lastly, I was so impressed with the care and the food. Oh, another shout out to the folks building, planning, making and delivering such good food. I actually looked forward to each meal. I am also thankful that the wonderful Dr. Monteiro utilizes Memorial Hospital. So, my thanks and blessings to Dr. Monteiro, her staff, and all the employees that helped me get through my surgery.
Kim Davenport
My experience with HCA Florida South Tampa was EXCELLENT!!! ER Dr. Healy hands down!
Erik Dempsey
Everyone was very attentive and helpful. The nurses went out of their way to make sure that I was comfortable. Thank you South Tampa HCA!
Kathleen Brown
On 3/10/21 had surgery to remove a parathyroid tumor. Everyone was so kind, caring and took the time to explain each step so I always knew what was happening. The staff, nurses and surgeons are simply the best!!! So thankful for the Norman Parathyroid Team and Memorial Hospital Team!!!
Ronald Kelly
Almost all things concerning Memorial was very good. The staff (everyone included) were great, by making me feel comfortable during my stay. My only drawback was the room I was admitted to. I don't like sharing, I prefer being in a room by myself.
Sharon Goodman
I had a wonderful experience there. I was nervous about having a biopsy done. Everyone there made me feel comfortable and relaxed. Thank you so much.
linda McKiernan
I had a great experience at Memorial Hospital of Tampa on May 5, 2021. The staff was professional, courteous, and friendly. They went out of their way to help me and my husband get through a worrisome procedure. I highly recommend this facility and its outstanding staff.
Jessica Walker
I had to have surgery to have my gallbladder removed. It was my first surgery so I was quite nervous. The staff was very friendly, informative and comforting. Although I was a bit nervous still going into my surgery, I Definately felt calmer. After the surgery, the staff took great care of me. The were extremely friendly. I would still had been a tid bit nervous because it was a first experience for me, but the staff was very comforting. I had a room to myself which was nice, and the hospital was very clean.
Alesha Cox
The nurse was wonderful! She listened and made sure I was as comfortable as I could be. I went in at 630 pm and didn’t leave until 330am because they were the only hospital in the area able to take emergency patients. Was not able to have anyone with me in the waiting room or even after COVID screening.
Carmen Isabel Dinglasan
My surgery went well. The Doctors are tops!!! The nurses provided comfort and extra care - I could feel their professionalism and genuine empathy. Lydia, your warm blanket even before I asked for it- it speaks volumes of how you care for patients. thank you!!
AH_Florida_00
This was my second surgery at Memorial Hospital and both times I was very impressed. Despite being busy the staff stayed organized, caring, and friendly. I felt like I was in good hands.
Gloria Davis
The staff were very warm, friendly and caring but I didn't like the fact that I had to arrive an hour early and had to wait 2 hours on a stretcher for my procedure.
Michael Llewellyn
The entire staff was wonderful. From the intake guys to the nurses and radiology folks! Dr. Healy had the best bedside manors. He was engaging and compassionate. Rare traits these days to find, especially in an ER! I would definitely recommend this place!
janet de la cruz
Excellent experience, A clean and welcoming atmosphere. Very professional and caring nurses and staff in general. I would recommended it to anyone.
Sly Phillips
I recently had an ortho surgery at the hospital and the staff there made my experience relaxed. I was cared for extremely well by the nurses and crew and they worked like an incredibly well oiled machine. The facility itself was beautiful and clean. Thank you for your care during such a scary time.

Brenda Anderson
Thank you Dr Diccio at Tampa Memorial Hospital on Swann Ave . The hospital and staff made me so comfortable and took great care of me . My experience was wonderful. I really lucked out coming from DFW to Tampa for my surgery. The Beautiful long hair blond who started my day helping me with my gown and IV was so calming and help for a nice relaxing day.
All my nurses were fabulous Lori , T,Anna , Mimmi and omg Shalee she’s a Angel helped me all through the night . The entire experience was really really wonderful thank you !
Andrew McIntosh
My experience at Memorial Hospital of Tampa was excellent. I was admitted through Emergency. The care and attention from reception through to physician advice, treatment and referral to a specialist was professional, personal and without delay. Extraordinary !
Carmen Hozven
Wonderful nurses . You feel like a QUEEN. The staff from Doctors to nurses to helpers , everyone just so helpful, caring and always smiling . I felt like the perfect vacation , not like I was going for surgery. .
Katherine Hollis
I was so pleasantly surprised with my overnight stay. I had my own room and it was very clean and spacious. I have nothing but good things to say about this hospital and the staff.
Christina Wilson
I had the most amazing hospital experience in my life. I went there for labs and diagnostics, and the excellent service started with the free valet. It was my first time there and I was lost. I asked the valet gentleman if I was in the right area, he wasn’t sure but he still managed to direct me to the front desk for information. Once I got to the desk, the nurse further helped me and had another gentleman assist with me registration. This was 7 in the morning and everyone was chipper and friendly. The gentleman checked me in and then escorted my husband and I to the laboratory. From there we could see they kept coffee, muffins, and cookies in the waiting area and offered us some. I could go on, but overall it was very pleasant and they got my labs and ultrasound done within the hour.
Susan Malone
A 10 star rating, but there were only 5 stars available.
Tim Gardner
I firsthand can say that the claims are accurately on-point, TGH is one of the best hospitals in all of the nation. After being diagnosed of having my 2nd set of TIA’s in a span of 7 1/2 years, I was transferred from two other facilities prior to hunkering down for an extensive series of tests, procedures and evaluations from an all-star cast of a team of Doctors, nurses, technicians & aids, excellence displayed at every level.
In spite of the non-stop craziness in the daily duties of an hospital, I was so impressed with how the Doctors & nurses were so detailed and accommodating. All discussions were lengthy, thorough and descriptive. I felt like a student of medicine once the doctors left my room on their daily rounds. BEDSIDE MANNER is alive and kicking at TGH!! The team assured me that I would not be discharged until they were 100% confident that every stone would not be left unturned for my diagnosis. Due to the complexity and ambiguity of my condition, this put my concerns at ease.
Major kudos to Dr. Guerrero. I received an unexpected
Monday late night visit in my room.He expressed that he was completing my report, struggling over the sequences of my bout. My first thought was why in the world was he still working? His genuine concern along with his dedicated diligence was second to none. All of the nurses, techs, directors, therapists & hospital staff were incredible at their tasks but a few notable individual mentions have to be directed to Dr. West, Dr. Rose, Najet, Natacha, Giana, Kim & Ebony. Thank you to all who collectively made a very stressful situation a pleasant one.
Stefanie RamaSanto
I had surgery at this facility and I have to admit the staff was amazing. The pre-op area lead was so knowledgeable and comforting that I was at ease before my procedure. When on the floor after surgery the Floor 3 nursing staff, especially Sabine, were the best.
cathy edmisten
I had a fantastic experience getting a Mammogram and bone density test. From the time I arrived, I felt safe and cared about. Lisa is an amazing Mammo Tech and made me feel comfortable. I will always go to Memorial for all my testing.
Cathy Armstrong
I was very pleased from start to finish with everyone at Memorial Hospital in Tampa. Everyone took the time to explain every step of my surgery. Very compassionate caring staff ❤️
Tamara Rains
Everything was so smooth, professional and comfortable. The staff really work as such a cohesive team and I felt very cared for during my outpatient surgery. Was such a calm and courteous experience overall.
Tom Millard
It was a pleasant visit with the entire staff trying to do what they could for me. The nurses were very accommodating and so were all of the others assigned to my case. Especially great was a young black girl who constantly asked if she could help, and she did; I believe her name was Cassidy and could have been on a student type program. Shed did everything from bring my food, help me get a bath, and set up my iPhone. She was always there to help ... Three cheers for her!!!
R Catalan
Had surgery, overnight stay at Hospital. Staff was courteous and attentive. Felt safe at Hospital, rooms were big for single patients. The food was ok, not knowing the cut off time to place the menu order and having staff confused about it could have made my stay more pleasant. This was actually addressed without me bringing it up the following day. Had Nutrition supervisor visit to see how it was going, explained the concern and it was taken care of but left that same day. Overall it was a good experience being my first time at this hospital.
Lori Grimes
From start to finish, the customer service was amazing. Each nurse and doctor communicated each step clearly and I felt well taken care of. I highly recommend this hospital.
regina rinaldi
First and foremost the care I received on PCU WAS SECOND to none. Nurses and techs were awesome. I was started on dialysis, and the only complaint I have is with case mgmt. They didn't start setting up outpatient dialysis until I was 2 weeks into treatments, which caused me to sit in the hospital an extra 3 days. I was in the hospital for 23 days, had 7 dialysis treatments. They need to get on things like that earlier.
Brandi E
Great staff in the midst of an emergency situation! Cannot say enough wonderful things about the folks that work at this hospital. They care, and it truly shows. I went into the ER with what turned out to be an emergency surgery situation, and everyone from the ER staff to the surgical team to the recovery and 2W nursing staff were awesome. Couldn't have asked for better folks...special thanks to nurses Mara and Jane and Dr. Madani in ER and Dr. Vidovich (surgeon). Keep up the fantastic job!!
Rev Dr Bruce McCabe
Update : The staff found my glasses & dentures and sent them to me by overnight mail, I am completely satisfied with the care I received at Memorial Hospital of Tampa.
The reason for the low score is not an issue with the surgeon, it's with the service at the hospital, there were complications be and I was transfered to TAMPA GENERAL HOSPITAL, but my glasses and dentures never made it to me and now no o e seams to know where there are?I called about this several times was assured they would be found and now I don't even rate a call back?
Jeano A
Top notch care. Clean hospital. The nurses were very attentive , caring and prompt. Made me feel like I was the only patient when caring for me . Parking was a breeze. The Who experience was smooth and with no hiccup.
Dirk Hardpec
Aug3...Total hip replacement on right side. Orthopedic staff could not have been more personable and comforting. Get the left hip done oct 5, and have no reservations about the upcoming procedure thanks to the professional and nurturing folks in my dept.
Richard Halvorsen
Excellent experience , the staff was caring and kept us informed of the process from beginning to end - I can’t say enough good things in regards to the staff from admitting to the nurses , the doctors, and the discharge personnel - ALL were excellent -

1st Class Experience. Professional, knowledgeable, friendly, and made me feel like family!
Donna Weakley
Day 6 after my parathyroidectomy continues to improve my well-being. The hospital staff and the extremely capable doctors consistently made me feel cared for and important. Each staff member proved to be a highly trained part of my quest for a healthy parathyroid system. I am eternally grateful to have met them all and to be able to benefit from their professionalism and healthcare skills. I will continue to recommend the NPC. Also, the Parathyroid Guide App is invaluable and very well written.

I had a wonderful surgical experience and recovery. Each department had caring and concerned individuals from admissions who took special time to sure that I was prepared and I stood the special preop instructions, to Anesthesia, who met with me beforehand and ordered individualized medication to be sure I was pain and nausea free, with no opiates, as requested, to the incredibly personable and attentive nursing staff, and the dining service, medical assistants/ CNA’s and cleaning staff who went out of their way every day to encourage me and be sure I was comfortable and maintained dignity in every way. I have had surgery at a few other Tampa Bay hospitals, and so I can tell you in my experiences, Memorial Hospital is incredible -a trend setter and a standard for other facilities to emulate! Thank you! And also to Dr Hoyte, my surgeon, and his staff who made me feel like a VIP each step of the way.
Karebear Roberts
I had a scheduled surgery that went very well. All the nurses and all the staff were in great moods and made you feel at ease. It’s very clean and I will be going back for my next two surgeries.
Julie Schnell
I flew in from Arkansas to have surgery here by two of the world's best surgeons. I received excellent care from Dr. Rhodes and Dr. Carling! Everyone that I came in contact with was very professional, compassionate, and skilled at their job. My surgery went smoothly and I am very pleased with the care I received at Memorial Hospital of Tampa. Thank you!
Brittney Reynolds
Best hospital I have ever been in! From the start of pre op to the end I was treated so well the nurses there are sent from god they were amazing. I didn’t get all of there names but do remember one named Lindsey in pre op she was a angel and had the best personality I have ever seen. I recommend this hospital before any other. Thank you everyone for all of the help and support along with the most compassion I have ever seen. Thank you memorial hospital 🥰 Please let everyone know who took care of me that i said thank you so much.
Lindsey Traina
After waiting 2+ hrs at another emergency room we called Memorial Hospital. We spoke to Katie and she said she would prepare for our arrival. I was in excruciating pain and needed immediate medical care. The second I walked in the door Katie took care of me. Although the staff was extremely busy they treated me right away. The nurses and doctors were so kind and patient. I was treated like a human being rather than a bother and annoyance like the prior ER. I hope I never have to return to the ER yet if need be this will be the place I go to. I am so grateful and thankful for all who took care of me.
Kim Taggart
I went in for total knee replacement of my right knee just 7 weeks after my left knee was done. This experience was not as great as the first, but only because of a PRN night nurse I had. (Forgot name but for hospital purposes worked night shift, 3rd floor, 11/21). She insisted she was just too busy to get me up to walk, but then came to my room telling me she finished writing her Christmas cards at the nurses station. I was very disappointed by this. My first stay, Bob was amazing and took me out for multiple walks. This was just one portion on my stay however. Other than this particular nurse, my stay was quite amazing. This is and always will be my hospital of choice. Special thanks to all the others there assisting me from pre-op through my discharge.
Brian Supple
Let me start by saying that I am totally indebted to Tampa General Hospital for saving the lives of my three children when they were struck by a runaway vehicle several years ago. I love the doctors and nurses and everyone involved in the lifesaving treatments. However, I had a kidney stone that was excruciatingly painful and went to the THG ER for help. I was triaged right away and told that since I was in such pain, I would be moved to the front of the line to get meds and much needed pain relief. Four hours later, I was still in agony and waiting to be called back. I decided to call Memorial Hospital to find out what the wait time was for the ER. I was told to check out their website for an accurate wait time. When I did, I found that the wait time was only 3-minutes. 3-MINUTES!!!! I immediately got up and walked to the elevator, with my blood pressure cuff still attached to my arm. I got in my car and drove the few minutes to Memorial Hospital. I was taken in immediately and within just a few short minutes was getting the pain meds I so desperately needed. I had a CT scan to confirm my kidney stones (I have about 10 more behind this one) and was given a prescription to help with any residual pain. Thank goodness for that because the pain was terrible for two more days, until the stone finally passed. Thank you to the doctor, nurses, and staff at Memorial Hospital for getting me treated, and relieved of my pain, so quickly.
Lisa Sanchez
Cannot say enough great things about the ER at Memorial Hospital. My husband was having severe sciatica pain. We were afraid he may have had a clot in his calf because the pain there was so bad. It was about 10 pm when we got to hospital. Parked right by door, no problem. Taken immediately. The staff was fantastic, from the intake nurse at reception to the ER nurses, doctor, ultrasound tech (who got called in from home) and finally the lady taking our information and payment. And a plus was we got a 20% discount because we made immediately!! Also, no blood clot! Doctor gave my husband medicine and referred us to follow up with orthopedist. We would highly recommend this ER! In and out within two hours. 😊
Carol Holmes
I came from out of town as a patient of the Norman center. I was nervous. They made the experience comfortable from the time I and my husband walked in the front door at 5:30am until I was discharged. A very professional and comfortable experience. Thank you 😊 …
Avis Chaplick
Not a facility I would like to return to...the nurses were nice (for the most part) but the ER facility was pretty shabby with attendants too busy to be of any help when I came in with a kidney stone causing extreme pain. Once they got me upstairs into bed some of the nurses were responsive, some not. The guy who tried to insert my IV needle didn't seem to know what he was doing, made a mess of my arm, and had to call a nurse. I think my doctor (DR. Brunelle) was great as always, but unfortunately the facility is not.
James Lutz
Was there for day surgery. The surgery center was very busy that day but they were very organized and professional. All the staff were friendly and knowledgeable. Very good experience.
Dayana Smith
From the time I entered the door up until the very moment I pulled away from the parking lot, the service I received at this hospital was outstanding. Each doctor, nurse, staff and everyone I came in contact with showed genuine kindness. Thank you all so very much. This hospital deserves a 20 plus rating in my opinion. 😊 …
Marcus Gomes
From pre-op to recovery all the staff members were very friendly and made me as comfortable as possible. They answered any questions I had and made sure I was informed about everything they were doing. Thank you to all the lpns, docs and nurses.
Dan James
We were at a we'll know Hospital down the road when I decided it was time to leave and researched the next closest.... glad that I made the right choice. From the security woman who helped us get a wheel chair, to the intake personnel to the ER nurses and docs , this place and its staff is amazing . The housekeepers, the Manager of Nutritional services , all nurses...... like I said everyone was amazing and very caring. Great care , great doctors!
Olga Marrero
Great care and wonderful staff, Shout out to Marilib & Tatianna for helping me thru the roughfest night of surgery! Dr Suana for listening to me and responding to nurses in the middle of the morning to get my pain under control. I am so grateful to all. The new staff at 7am Louize & Tiffany for stepping right into my care and following medication needs. Thanks to all for your dedication and support! I'm not sure if I spelled everyone's name correctly. God bless you all!
Gemini Adventures
Never felt like "just another surgery case" even though that's exactly what I was. My team worked methodically and slowly to assure my safety and comfort. I can't say enough for the professionalism and caring I got from my doctor and surgical team. Thank you for making my first surgery a walk in the park.
Sue Wallace
This hospital is one of the best kept secrets in Tampa!!!! I had excellent nursing care and I was treated with respect and dignity during my entire stay. It was a comfort to know one of my family members could stay in my room overnight after my surgery.
Kuddos, to all the staff members on 2W Post Surgical!!!
Karen Hayes
My stay at the hospital was several hours for a same day surgery. Everyone was friendly, courteous and helpful. I would definitely return for surgery should the need arise. Excellent experience.
dominic navarro
Many thanks to all the staff at MHT, especially 3rd floor. After my surgery, these pro's made me feel great. Not to mention how clean everything is! You can eat off the floors!! Keep up the great work 👍 …
Tiffany L
The staff was very caring and knowledgeable about my condition. There was no wait, and they were able to treat me immediately. I was having an allergic reaction for the first time and was scared and they made me feel very comfortable. Thank you.
Ron Barnes

An amazing staff. Friendly and caring. The cleanest hospital very impressed.
The doctors and nurses were the best.
I will definitely return if I need anything in the future. Thank you.
Cynthia Hayward
I cannot fault the treatment that I received in any way. I was greeted with a smile from everyone, treated with respect and kindness. If I needed someone to come to my room, they would respond very quickly.
Anyone who reads this, and has to go to this hospital, please have confidence. You will be very well looked after.
Helen McGrath
Everyone who entered my room to care for me was friendly, competent and professional. From the nurses to the food service personnel, I felt I was in good hands and all my needs were met.
Ninotchka Drobnak

Doctors, nurses, the cleaning personal, all the staff are the best!. Thank you so much for be a peace of mind that you gave to our family in that hard moments.
God bess you all!!
Arden Arden
My mom just had surgery at Memorial Hospital. The surgery went very smoothly. We met with the surgeon, Anesthesiologist, CRNA's and pretty much everyone that was going to be in the operating room. They were all friendly and willing to answer any questions without seeming annoyed or rushed.
Now, onto post-op. The room was very clean and roomy and the nurses were very friendly and efficient. Everyone seemed to go over and beyond to make my mom feel comfortable. Each person that entered the room instantly put had sanitizer on which was much appreciated.
The selections of food on the menu was amazing; we've never seen such a big selection (chicken parmesan, tilapia, carrot cake, various soups, many side items, cheesecake, big salad selections, I could go on and on). My mom was not feeling very well after surgery so she special ordered a few items and they quickly brought it to her....just like room service. :) My mom wouldn't stop talking about how good the food tasted.
I cannot say enough about the staff of this hospital. I do not understand the negative reviews about this hospital, unless the ER is a total different experience. We had 3 different directors/administrators check in to be sure my mom had a good experience.
We would highly recommend this hospital!
John Perrino
The staff at Memorial Hospital were wonderful. Everyone I met was very caring and professional. I couldn't have hoped for a better experience!
Cj P
My daytime nurse, Anna (2nd West) was absolutely fantastic. We appreciated her individualized care, her answer & explanations to our questions, and her professionalism! Although the other nurses were adequate, Anna was the standout!
I also would like to give compliments to Georgia in the ore-op area, as well as the anesthesia nurse assisting Dr Chen.
Debra Kline
I received the best care possible. The third floor surgical nurses are the best. As a nurse I would work with them anytime and as a patient I would trust them with my life. Thank you many times over to all the staff on third floor surgical.
Marie Macher
I have been very impressed with the staff at Memorial. I unfortunately have had 2 visits/admissions recently. Each time the DR staff as well as the nurses, doctors, techs,and all others have been extremely caring and nice. I currently receive outpatient treatment through them and also get wonderful care from the providers in that department.
Julio Ayon
Best experience in Emergency Room
All personnel were prompt, professional and courteous.
Minimal wait time for emergency room
Extremely satisfied with all laboratory work that was performed promptly.
Physician was very thorough and explained patiently with detail all symptoms and causes
Josie
A very pleasant experience; would recommend others to feel comfortable going there.
Ed Gerecke
I was admitted through the emergency room for severe back/leg pain for a 48 hour stay. While there, I had both a CT scan and MRI. From the moment entering the ER on a Sunday afternoon to discharge on Tuesday, my experience at Memorial Hospital was outstanding. One hears horror stories about weekend hospital visits, but my experience was polar opposite. Dr. Healy in the ER was calm and caring, and got my acute pain under control. Nurse Steve who was assigned to me that Sunday was caring and attentive. But, then again, that was my experience with everyone I encountered, including Mark in MRI who patiently worked with me on two tries to get my scan done through the pain. It appears to me that the hospital must focus attention on the personal encounter because I was not treated like a body in a bed, but a patient worthy of respect and care. Kudos to the staff at Memorial!
Marjorie Regina
Everything was top notch. The room was nice and clean, medical staff was thoughtful, caring and thorough, and food was good too. We came through the ER and I was seen immediately, no wait.
Diana Franklin
This has been the most awesome place. My son was brought in with a life threatening condition. Faster than I could get here from Naples they had him in surgery. The ICU staff were so accommodating and on point at all times. His nurse Tony has made him feel very comfortable! All guests treated as if the nurses were here for us as well. Those locals who visited all commenting on how much nicer this hospital is over others and how they will be coming here. Thank you for the remarkable staff here!!!!!!!!!! I rate this place #1. Thank you for saving my son!!!!! 💖
Charles Eldredge
Good experience. Everyone was nice. Great nurses. They all gave me great care. Gall bladder surgery was successful...no complications. I didn't find the place to be dirty as another reviewer stated. It's an older, smaller hospital and a little dowdy, but nothing terrible, or even bad, at all.
