Best Hospital in the area in my opinion. These guys literally saved my life and the life of my baby. They knew exactly what to do. Professional, courteous, and compassionate. They walked me through everything step by step and reassured me when I was terrified. I can't even begin to say enough about their NICU and the staff. They treat your baby like their own and it really shows. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!!

*BEWARE* worst hospital ever. Do not go here if you can help it. They actually hung up on me on the phone after calling once I was released. I found a maggot in my bathroom, and the nurses claimed they would take care of it, but not until the next shift was it removed. One nurse spilled ice and water on the floor, left it there, and 2 other techs slipped on it. The first picture is from a full 24 hrs of not cleaning up and the second is the ice on the floor. It might not seem bad, but another nurse just kicked the ice away instead of cleaning it. I’m sure I’ll get a generic response about how they are committed to doing better, but it was a terrible experience. I’ve been home 3 days and wasn’t going to write anything but after I called the hospital and they hung up on me, it made me realize how little St. Joseph’s actually cares. I was in the middle of talking, and the person said ‘I can’t help you’ and hung up.

Emergency room and night time staff = excellent! Then when I was in a room on the first floor the next day was a completely different story. The doctors spent less than a minute with me and had no bedside manner. He was literally walking backwards out the door when I was asking him questions. Nurse assigned to me was surface nice but had no patience at all. I think she needs to find a different profession. I was sent home with no diagnosis and still not feeling well at all. Find out shortly before I was leaving but they never even tested me for Covid.

I was born and raised in Tampa Florida. I’m 37 years old. I have cancer and have spent a lot of time in various hospitals. This is the first time I went to a St. Joseph’s hospital. My care is manage at JOHNS HOPKINS in Baltimore. however, I am back home in Tampa, visiting family and had an emergency. Upon entering the emergency room with chest pain I advised the triage nurse my cancer status as well as the fact I had previous open heart surgery. I was 37 and that I had a full pneumonectomy and only one remaining lung on my right side. I told the triage nurse I have no cold or flu symptoms only Chest pain. Virtually none of the nurses or CNAs and even security or registration. Staff were wearing masks. The ER had no less than 13 people of which at least eight were very sick with something viral or respiratory or contagious. I told the nurse I was incredibly uncomfortable that I would like to just wait outside in the carport outside the doors to minimize the potential for exposure. Being that I only have one lung, it’s incredibly dangerous for any sort of respiratory infection. Apparently standing outside the ER doors is too far for the triage/er nurse to call my name. One of the security guards who ship started later in the evening after my arrival, and relieved the guard who was there initially coughed the entire time I was in the waiting room. it was almost 2.5- 3 hours before they took me back into a room and then I sat in that room for 34 minutes. I literally watched the clock. For 34 minutes i sat alone confused and annoyed before anyone opened a door to even say hello introduce them self - nothing. After being in this new ER room with all the doors shut I literally stepped out of the room into the hallway where I was led in. I searched for someone, anyone. There was no nurses desk - nothing. I couldn’t find anyone. Just an empty hallway. It was the absolute worst experience. I will say the ER doctor once I met him was incredibly nice. The x-ray technician her name was Miss Priscilla. She was by far the nicest most empathetic of everyone I met that night. I asked for a patient advocate when Priscilla took me back for x-ray, because I just felt like there was unnecessary exposure and inherent danger, and nobody seemed to care except for Priscilla. Priscilla said she contacted someone in admin, but I guess that person refused a patient advocate I don’t know? Priscilla was so kind she went and got a chair from radiology and set up a seat for me behind the pediatric kids area behind the bathrooms so I could still hear my name being called when it was my time. I heard all about one person taking a trip to Chicago. I heard about another person taking a vacation to Seattle. I heard all about someone planning their daughters birthday party you know I get it’s a workplace and you do more than work, but when people are very very sick , and for example, I’ve been there from 9:40 PM until after 2:45 AM almost 3 in the morning you just realize there is zero sense of urgency. I even heard while in the ER one employee say to a nurse oh my God you have two patients tonight. I’m surprised you let them give you a second…. There must be cameras in the common areas. I really encourage hospital administration to take some time to review the efficiencies of that evening and the effectiveness of the staff because I never ever experienced this when I lived in Tampa and I went to university hospital or later Florida hospital And I certainly would never ever experience this sort of thing at JOHNS HOPKINS because it would absolutely be unacceptable behavior. This is not how hospital should operate.

Staff were really slow during check in. I had a really strong stomach pain it took about two hours to be seen by a Doctor basically you have to arrive with a bullet in your head to be seen quickly and you call this Emergency. This is pretty bad. As you see in the pics the place was not full of patients.

The ER was packed and we waited 6.5 hours HOWEVER, the lobby and waiting areas were immaculate! The ER admin staff were very kind and attentive. Another staffer brought out warm blankets for everyone. All of the waiting patients were calm and relaxed waiting due, in large part, to the kindness and support from ER staff. St. Joe’s has the PERFECT remedy for what is typically a high stress, chaotic life event into a pleasant comforting experience. Thank you for all you do!

The nurses and doctor in the pediatric section of the hospital were excellent! From the moment we arrived they made our stay so much better. Having a sick child in the hospital is such a hard time, but they made it the best they could. They answered every question we had thoroughly, they anticipated things we may need and made suggestions. The room was nice and clean and the food from the cafeteria was great as well. I will continue to recommend this facility for any healthcare needs. Thanks to your staff for making it so great.

We had our first experience with St. Joe’s and Baycare 7.24 via the ER. First, this is possibly the most tightly controlled hospital I have ever been in. We got to the ER which was clean and efficient. It was soon clear an appendectomy was needed quickly. They took the time to listen, manage pain and explain the process. Everyone along our journey was excellent at what they do. This visit was not what we had expected for the weekend, but we were pleased with the services provided and the general cleanliness of the entire facility. Bottom Line: I recommend St Joe’s South and Baycare to family and friends.

I came to the hospital extremely ill. I was seen quickly, moved to lab quickly and placed into an ER room quickly. The nurse and doctor were exceptionally personable and knowledgeable. The hospital is beautiful. It was amazing to have my x-ray taken right there in my room. I was diagnosed quickly (bacterial pneumonia) and sent home to recover. Exceptional hospital. Exactly what an ER visit should be. We won't go anywhere else.

This hospital is amazing. I cannot tell you how professional and caring this hospital is. My wife was having a major surgery and it went well, but the surgery revealed an undiagnosed health issue. She ended up having a major heart episode that was both very rare and dangerous. They quickly moved her into the ICU and rallied the troops. I cannot tell you how comforting that is to see the concerns that others have for your spouse and the love of your life. She has been blessed with excellent recovery and she is doing great now. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.

Everyone at St. Joseph's South is awesome - the security staff, the check-in personnel, the triage nurses, the ER nurses and doctors, the x-ray/scan techs, the NA's, and the floor nurses and doctors. I've been admitted there twice, and only ran into one nurse that was admittedly burned out in her profession and needs to find a new one. But that was an isolated incident. Everyone else was awesome! Everything is clean, and no gross wee smell. :) My elderly folks have both been patients here as well, and everyone was always efficient, helpful, kind, and informative. The atmosphere and decor on the floor where I was, was very pretty and calming. Hey, no one wants to have to be in the hospital, but if you have to be, it was nice to be someplace like St. Joseph's. Their treatment of my parents, myself, my family and friends that visited, was greatly appreciated! <3

My experience at this hospital was Amazing. I had a c section and everyone who I encountered during my stay there was nice and very understanding and welcoming. My c section was a success and the OR was very welcoming and comfortable , they play music to lighten the mood and it made the experience even better. The hospital food was good and they have a great variety of food to choose from. They took great care of the baby and made sure I took my medication around the clock. Overall it was a great experience , I would definitely give birth there again ! Labor and delivery wing was Amazing !

Everyone was so kind, patience, attentive, and willing to listen. The facility is peaceful, clean, organized and welcoming. It was our first visit and we will definitely return if needed in the future. We left feeling like we received amazing care. Despite the hi case load in the ER with the illnesses going around -- none of the staff complained, didn't make excuses and just handled everything really well. Just made us feel important and not "just another" patient problem. thank you

Took my son to the ER and he had to stay overnight. I have to tell that I was really impressed with all nurses there. They were all attentive and beyond sweet not only to my son but to myself as well. Have to mention his nurse (Darlene) she is simply amazing. I can’t thank her enough for being the best nurse ever. God bless your heart.

I had a great experience at St.Joe’s South Labor and Delivery and Mother and Baby unit. All the nurses during my stay were awesome! They were nice, knowledgeable, helpful and seemed to really enjoy their jobs. The nurses on these units worked as a team and were so kind. I wish I could remember their names.. I’m a nurse with a variety of hospital experience and I was impressed with the nurses at St. Joes South! There were two techs that were extremely helpful also. The food at the hospital was pretty good but most times …items ordered were.not on my tray. I had only one order out of about 5 that was correct. Some hospitality staff did not introduce themselves when entering the room but most were nice and only two of the staff actually asked if I needed anything else. It would have been nice for orders to be double checked before delivery to the room. My overall feedback….I had a wonderful experience at this hospital.

Had an emergency surgery done on Friday that thankfully turned out well. I do want to thank this crew that did an amazing job helping get thru the aftermath and getting me back to health, thank you guys keep doing what your going. Your doing an amazing job. Thanks Again

This is long over due!! I delivered here and had several people come in and out of my room during my stay. The nurses were all great delivery and postpartum! But I was most excited about having access to a pelvic floor therapist! Dr. Poirier and her student, Alexis Williams, came and chatted with me on pelvic floor therapy. I was way over the moon that bay care supports this as it is extremely important. I will be reaching out to Dr. Poirier very soon to set something up!

Everyone was awesome. I felt very comfortable and well taken care of. My nurse Darlene in the observation unit was outstanding. She was attentive to all my needs, very personable yet professional. She is definitely an asset to your team. The technicians were also very good!

The staff who took care of my daughter was absolutely amazing. Vincent and Juliana were just amazing. They went above and beyond and made us feel like we mattered. When my daughter started feeling better she wanted to go home and Vincent came in and spoke to her to calm her down. Just the best care ever. Can not thank you enough.

10:30am Followed the ambulance to St Joseph’s Hospital because my wife was brought in. The staff made me wait in the waiting room for over an hour before being able to go to the back with my spouse. There is no reason that I could not have gone to her room to wait with her to keep her calm. The staff on this shift apparently don’t know what they are doing. This is not my first visit here with my wife. I’m being treated like I’m someone coming here for visitors hours. Ridiculous!!! It’s now 8:30pm. My wife got to her room at 5:00pm and she’s still in her street clothes.

I visited your facility because my child was sick, but I am originally from New Jersey and was on vacation. The service and care that my child received was excellent. I was very impressed and all my fears about getting care for my child out of state quickly dissipated.

The hospital and staff were so well prepared and it was the best birth experience I have had so far. The care felt comprehensive and I felt listened to throughout our time. We are very grateful to have chosen St. Joes South for labor and delivery.

I felt cared for from the second I entered the ER. The staff was very caring and made sure I was comfortable and informed me on every test, procedure, and plan for what was next. Big thank you to all of my care techs, they were most responsible for my great experiences!

I just moved to this area and my mouth dropped when I was told I had to wait a minimum of 3 hours for someone to see me. This is scary. I just moved from Hollywood, Fl and I can say I now miss Memorial Regional Hospital; you are inside and taken care of in less than an hour no matter what you have or how busy it is. I am scared and disappointed for the next time I have to visit the ER. It might be faster to travel back to south Florida and be seen there in an emergency.

I had out patient surgery. Everything was great. The check in process was smooth and efficient. Everyone was knowledgeable, kind and comforting. I have absolutely nothing negative to say. My doctor and every nurse was the best. Thank you for taking such good care of me.

Of all the hospitals that I’ve worked in in my 30+ year career in medicine. This is one of the most special places… The facility is brand, new and designed with a practical operational focus. The hospital staff here is exemplary and superior in terms of their teamsmansip, and culture, including a good culture of safety. The timeouts here are the most thorough of any hospital I have ever worked in. I am excited to be affiliated with this hospital!

I had a scheduled c section at this hospital. I was extremely nervous for surgery. The staff was impeccable and had great communication. They were very nurturing. My baby ended up going to NICU from swallowing amniotic fluid and Dr. James couldn’t have been any more calming. She continued to follow up with me and the baby’s well being. Everyone in the recovery ward was comforting and accommodating and the food options were healthy and delicious. Thank you for making my experience less traumatic. Dr. Troy did a great job with my surgery. Hospital is very clean. High recommend to any family delivering here.

This is the slowest Hospital I have ever been to. My wife has a hernia. We waited 5 hours for them to tell us that. The doctor came in asked if we knew what a hernia was, then just left before we could even say yes. Im not kidding. He said nothing more...I have now been waiting for over an hour after he left. We had to ask where the doctor was and why he walked out like that, they told us he is making his daily phone calls...At 1:00am. Absolutely the the worst experience I have ever had at a hospital.

My care once I was admitted was great. Everyone I dealt with were very nice and helpful. My only complaint is from the emergency room. I went in on Thursday with a small amount of swelling. The doctor never even looked at me. I was sent home with a couple of prescriptions for what they assumed I had. I ended up going back on Friday with my eye swollen shut. Blood work and a CT scan were done and I was admitted because at that point I needed IV antibiotics. Better care in the ER would be great. It makes me feel like I'm not important because I don't have insurance.

My husband is the patient but as his caregiver/advocate I would like to let you know we both thought his experience was excellent. He had no complaints, thinks everyone who took care of him was kind, considerate and professional. On my side of the situation, I think communication as I waited to hear news was excellent and I was well informed as to his whereabouts and contacted quickly on all steps to recovery room. For me, St. Joseph's and our doctors were a terrific experience. Thank you all for helping us get through a very trying time.

The experience that I encounter was excellent. The staff from when I was wheeled chair into the ER. The staff from the valet parking, receptionists to the nurses Doctors etc. was patient understanding and very professional. I honestly couldn’t ask for a better team of employees. They were AMAZING!. THANK YOU so so much for making my experience smooth and relaxing..

Amazing, professional care at this hospital. I had 2 cardiac procedures which required very long post op care. Nurse Kelly was outstanding staying with me the entire time. I couldn't have asked for better care. All the nurses and techs were first rate.

St. Joe's-South was nothing short of amazing! The care they provided my son was timely, effective, minimally invasive and compassionate. My 5-year-old son was jumping on the couch and fell into the coffee table. He had a very deep forehead laceration that required 11 stitches. From the moment we walked in, every person we came in contact with was personable and treated my son well. They spoke to him directly, ensuring that he understood what was going on. There was talk of having to inject lidocaine due to the depth of the laceration, but they took the time to do everything they could to avoid that. The accommodations for the kids including tablets, family movies, popsicles and ultimately a toy at the end, made this experience less traumatic for him. The bedside manner from all of the Pediatric ER staff was superb and I will bring my children here when needed in the future.

My son hurt his nose and we had to go to the hospital very late. The staff was few and they were very nice and friendly. The man at the desk (Alex) was extremely helpful and great with my kids. They nurse on duty was all alone and she was fantastic. Thank you for taking great care of my son!

We were truly beyond pleased with the care team from start to finish. My son was in so much pain and the front desk to the nurses , to techs and dr were all so amazing. Quickly responding, checking in on us, and offering the best treatment. My son was so upset and scared and the whole care team urgently got us taken care of and helped my son and were so kind. We truly felt we had a great experience. I want to thank Dr. Nicole and Erica for their above and beyond service to my son. You both truly made all the difference and our tech Carly too was beyond amazing. I have not one neg thing to say. THANK YOU THANK YOU !!! You are beyond amazing and the true Heroes of Tampa Bay. This staff will put any parent at ease during your stay.

Came to the ER here due to a work related injury my girlfriend had. Our first visit wasn’t very good with being told NOT to ice, NOT to elevate, and NO medication proscribed. However, on our second visit, a day later, due to her pain increasing, we were given proper instructions this time and proscribed medication. Our P.A, Joe, was absolutely fantastic and helped us leave ready to handle the next few weeks of the healing process. Our check in process was fairly simple. Front desk and security were both kind and professional. The wait on the first visit to get admitted was about 30 minutes on an Friday afternoon and 15 minutes on our second visit, Saturday afternoon. The hospital is secure and clean, with staff taking good care of their uniforms and facility, from what I could see.

I’m disappointed with the experience I’ve had with this hospital. Both times I brought my kids through the emergency department, it took them 3 hours to be seen by a doctor. The first time was for my youngest son. He was 6 month at the time. The second time was for my 4 year old. They were more concerned about their insurance instead of why I brought them. Worst hospital! Avoid them at all cost.

Coming to Emergency and being admitted was scary but the staff (Nurses, Dr's, emergency, food service, techs, lab, transport) were amazing. I hope to never see you guys again in this setting but if I do, I know I will be in great hands. Thank you for taking great care of me. May God continue to bless you all.

Everything about my emergency room experience went exceptionally well. Even with the crowded patient situation, all emergency room personnel treated everyone with empathy and patience, as if each patient was the only one that needed their help. Even with the patient load and diversity of medical needs, everything was well organized and timely. The main, and most impressive, thing about my experience was the ability of all emergency personnel to lower my anxiety, and I'm sure I was no exception, which I feel is most important when a person is coping with an emergency medical situation. There are more impressive things I could say about my experience; however, I think my point has been made. I will close by saying thank you to everyone that made my medical situation as pleasant and productive as possible.

I am incredibly grateful for the care I received from the maternity unit. Carla in delivery was absolutely amazing. She was very communicative and supportive as I managed my pain through labor. She was a great cheerleader for a first time mom. Sam, Kara, and Jamie in the baby and me unit were all very kind and caring during my stay with my new baby. They provided me with attentive care and ensured I was comfortable. Upon discharge a nurse was kind enough to orally assist my husband and I in installing the baby’s car seat. I am so grateful that I had this care team as a first time mom. With gratitude - Tracey.

The security guard was very nice and thorough. The staff who checked me in, were friendly and helpful. My pre-operation nurse was very informative and helpful. The anesthesiologists were very friendly. The post operation nurses were very nice and accommodating. Everyone made, what was a very stressful situation, a decent experience. Their bedside manner provided the calming atmosphere, which I really need. Thank you to the whole staff!!

I was rushed in for hernia surgery. Dr. Tapper was amazing and made me feel I was in great hands. Surgery went smooth and I was in my room shortly after. I spent the night and was looked after by many nurses. Karen was the main nurse who checked on me and gave me all of my medications. She was fantastic and really made my stay much more comfortable. She was very personable and didn't treat me like just another number. The entire hospital staff was terrific, but Karen was a superstar among stars.

The nurses and doctor Veiga were amazing. The facilities were so clean and top of the line. I had an natural birth with no epidural and felt so supported and heard. I was always patiently taken care of, from food to medication to lactation consultants, I couldn’t have had a better birth experience. I miss my stay at the hospital!! It really felt like a 5 star hotel kind of care. The bathrooms are so comfortable for recovery and they have everything you need. The partner bed was also very comfortable. I have nothing negative to say, it truly was the best place I could’ve brought my first child to this world!

From the moment I walked in to the moment I left I was really impressed. My nurses were amazing and compassionate. My anesthesia team listened to me and reassured me as we went. My surgical team was funny and kept me in good spirits. I felt like my health was taken very seriously and the protocols on who is in the hospital was great too. It was a top class experience. The only experience I didn’t enjoy was the transport team. When wheeling me out to my car he was rude to his coworkers and he hit my foot on car door on my leg that I had surgery on causing pain.

This hospital was great with my 2 year old son. The ER nurses were kind and attentive and everyone there was great. The main nurse we interacted with once admitted was Vincent and he was so amazing. He checked on us consistently web kept us informed, he was knowledgeable and informative, and he was caring and understanding for what my son needed. He made this one of the best medical experience we have ever had.

My experience was absolutely amazing! Every person I came into contact with was so great. The staff is so attentive and sweet. I couldn’t have asked for a better outcome from my delivery, to the nurses tending to me, to my amazing doctor, to the anesthesiologist, etc. The list goes on and on. Thank you!

Super staff to my surprise when I was admitted to the ER the Doctor and Nurse ere in the room waiting for me. I was given a time line of what to expect and it was accurate. During my stay the nurse was right there with me and the Doctor make frequent checks on my well being. As far as hospitals best experience I’ve ever had!

Everyone was so friendly and professional that it helped me relax before having my surgery! I especially want to say the security guard (unfortunately don’t have names) was so funny and made me laugh. Also the lady at the front desk was super sweet and all the nurses ect. were very caring and nice. Love this hospital. And although I hope to never come back( lol). If I need to it will be this hospital! Thank you for employing caring professionals!

we had an absolutely stellar experience. From the moment we walked in with the security team who gave my daughter a sticker and helped me with my bag, to the wait being brief, every single person we encountered was caring. Everyone had a smile. I used the restroom and 10 min later when i used it again it had been cleaned and sanitized. I will always bring my children to this hospital for emergency care. I cannot emphasize enough how great the staff were. The doctor and nurses in the pediatric unit were amazing.

The team was quick, thorough and quick efficient. We did not have a medical issue that required much time so it was super nice to not have to spend all day in the ER. We were able to determine an allergic reaction, do an evaluation and receive feedback and treatment plan in less than an hour from walking through the door. We did not feel rushed or like our questions were not answered. Awesome team and experience

From the minute, I arrived to the minute, I left your facility I was cared for by so many wonderful people from doctors to nurses to technicians to all the beautiful woman in the scan room. /MRI etc. To everybody who transported me back-and-forth. They were all incredible. respectful caring I do have to say I’ve been in many hospitals and you are the best so far. I traveled all the way from Valrico to go to your facility. that was my choice and I made a good one. The only small change I would make a better gluten-free menu.

For one, the facility is beautiful. Very high end and clean. Secondly, the staff was friendly, professional, upbeat, and seemed to have a great deal of pride in working there. The only improvement I can come up with was not to break a rib in the first place.

Staff was very efficient and I felt compassion from everyone I met. Especially RN Kayla in the ED. She was extremely professional and treated me with kindness. I was very emotional and she helped keep me calm and listened to me. Very clean rooms and the ER Dr. was also very informative and helpful. All staff were excellent!! Thank you!

All the nurses and doctors were amazing to my daughter and family. We haven't received great care and service like this in a very long time. There was quick turn around for tests and I was always informed on what the next step was. The hospital was extremely clean and well taken care of. And the food and drinks in the Cafe are the best ever.

You simply could not do anything better. The PA, nurse, tech doing blood draw, check-in, security was amazing. I was in so much pain and knew I was in good hands. The facility was clean, check-in was simple, and I was taken to a room in a very reasonable time. The staff showed compassion and was committed to resolving my issue prior to release. I can't thank them enough. I was in so much discomfort it was hard to express that to them my sincere gratitude. You have an amazing ER team!! Thank you! My PCP even already had the ER notice that they needed to call me afterwards but, I beat them to the call for a PCP appointment. Top notch!

I had my baby at St. Joseph South a week ago and my experience exceeded my expectations!!! Everyone was wonderful, very welcoming & professional! A big THANK YOU to Laura, Lisa, Shannon & our wonderful Midwife Sara!!! Thank you to all the nurses & doctors that were with us through this amazing new journey!

From the time I entered into the emergency room the service was amazing. Every staff member was professional and very pleasant to deal with. Starting from the security everyone was consistent. My labor and delivery experience was one for the books all the nurses that helped made it a comfortable setting for me. That didn't change when I went to mommy and me the staff there delivered just as great service as the others. the consistency is what I appreciated the most . Thank you all for making this lifetime opportunity one of the best.

I went to Saint Joseph’s to have a colonoscopy and I was a little nervous with this being my first one. My intake nurse (I can’t remember his name) was excellent and I even enjoyed his dad jokes. I like how everything was verified by at least 5 people in the procedure room before starting the procedure. The staff and doctor were incredible. I would highly recommend going to Saint Joseph’s South

Great labor and delivery staff but I wanted to give particular praise and acknowledgement to Lauren M. A labor and delivery nurse and Valerie the lactation consult. Valerie made the start of my breastfeeding journey so much easier with her knowledgeable advice and suggestions on how to properly latch! I'm extremely overjoyed to have have had the pleasure of meeting her! Lauren M. was an absolute pleasure and delight to have as a labor and delivery nurse. She went above and beyond in her nursing role and highly exceeded our expectations! She was so caring, attentive, kind, skillful, empathetic, knowledgeable and just the epitome of what a nurse should be like. She made our labor and delivery process so much more pleasant than we could have ever imagined! She even stayed after her shift was done to help deliver the baby!!! I couldn't thank her for her kind and thoughtful heart!

Dr Lebarbara always made me feel like he was my personal doctor. He made me feel comfortable to ask questions and when a decision was made it was immediately taken care of. Every nurse, assistant, lab tech etc...that came in the room introduced themselves which made me feel at ease. Everyone was very professional and had a very positive energy.

Exceptional Care I cannot express my gratitude enough for the exceptional care I received at St. Joseph Hospital in Riverview. The moment I walked in, I was met with a team of dedicated professionals who went above and beyond to help me during a cardiac arrest and high blood pressure crisis. Their prompt, efficient, and compassionate response undoubtedly saved my life. The staff at St. Joseph Hospital exhibited unmatched professionalism and expertise, making me feel safe and well-cared for throughout my stay. Not only were they highly skilled, but they also showed genuine concern for my well-being, which made a world of difference during such a challenging time. I was not only impressed by the medical care but also by the hospital's overall environment. The facilities were clean, well-maintained, and conducive to healing. Even the food provided was of high quality, and the service was excellent. I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to every member of the St. Joseph Hospital team. Your dedication, compassion, and unwavering commitment to patient care are truly commendable. I am forever grateful for your role in my recovery. To anyone seeking exceptional medical care, I wholeheartedly recommend St. Joseph Hospital. The staff here are not just healthcare professionals; they are angels in disguise, working tirelessly to make a difference in the lives of their patients. Thank you, St. Joseph Hospital, for your outstanding service and for being a beacon of hope in our community. With sincere appreciation, Luis

The wait time was not too long, tha staff was very friendly and most of all the hospital was very clean and not over crowded

Great staff, very attentive!

Hello, it was an incredible moment, I really enjoyed the time spent with you, thank you very much, I wish you the best with all my being.

As always, excellent emergency room triage for patient announcing prior cardiac issues. Very attentive nursing staff to all routine checking of vitals etc. Excellent timing throughout the two day stay of taking me down for the various required tests (7 total while in room). Even the food was good !!. Noticed there was a tough load on both the floor doctors and the nurses with people off after the Christmas holiday. Also, hats off to the ER staff for their handling a real large crowd in the ER on 12-26......the place looked like Applebees on Friday night !!.

All care providers in labor and delivery were fantastic. Many mother and baby staff were forgetful (e.g., being asked for something and never getting it or having to be asked multiple times). The system for obtaining water is appalling given how important hydration is for postpartum women. I waited over two hours to get water. Medical care/education should be standard especially for new mothers. Lactation visit occurred so far after delivery giving baby and mom a poor start. When a consultation was provided the visit was brief and relied on the mother asking questions (I don’t know what I don’t know) rather than the consultant teaching the mother how to get a good latch, proper holding, how long to feed, preventing engorgement, the list goes on and most importantly providing the mother with feedback and multiple opportunities to display proper techniques. I spent my first week at home with my baby with sore cracked nipples, a fussy baby and a lack of confidence. I never saw the photographer, a schedule should be made and followed to ensure all services paid for are actually provided. A better discharge system is needed, bring wheelchair and bag cart at the same time and schedule a time for transport. I waited 20 minutes between getting a cart and getting a wheelchair. Finally, although everyone is busy taking an extra 30 seconds to read a file can go far towards connecting with patients and making them feel seen. Both the pediatrician and a nurse consistently referred to my child as a boy/him when they simply could have read our file and used she. Alternatively, when in doubt they can just use “baby” although this is impersonal.

My son was very sick. He was treated with kindness by the care team. His attending physician took the time to ask clarifying information to gather a complete bio about his medical history. The physician provide additional medical advice that was helpful for continual care needed for my son. I could not asked for anything else. I just want to say thank you to the entire team for the care provided to my son. May God continually bless the team as they strive to keep doing their best!!!

I received the best care at a Hospital stay! I went in for my Induction Friday and was with Maya who took care of me until Saturday morning. I then had Dawn and Kathy help me deliver my baby girl! Dawn taught me how to breastfeed & aftercare for my postpartum. For the last two days the baby and I enjoyed our nurses Tina, Tammy, & Christina(I believe that was her name). Overall experience at St.Josephs was phenomenal and when I decided to have another baby , I will be coming back! Highly recommend being treated and cared for here!
