HCA Florida Largo West Hospital - Largo (FL)

5 /5 C H: I have issues with my back and I’ve been fortunate enough to not have to seek medical attention for a couple of years but today my back put me in the hospital. I know that it is impossible to completely get rid of back pain. Dr. Laurie Lawson was amazing. She understood how uncomfortable I was and did her best to try and make me comfortable until the medication started kicking in. I left the hospital still in quite a bit of pain, but it was far less than what I arrived with. She was compassionate and understanding. Thank you. For helping me

2 /5 maria raptis: At first this place was helpful. a family member was admitted to the adult mental/behavioral health section of this facility and was doing ok. she had poor medication side effects and ended up having to be moved to geriatrics unit for her physical safety/medical care. The care given on the geriatrics unit is the reason for this review. the care on this unit was poor and felt more like a prison than a health facility. This is coming from both my family member being inside the unit and the communication we received from the outside. they were COLD, unwelcoming, and dismissive of patient concerns. (with the exception of a few staff members including Megan and a few others in the mental health unit who were informative, warm, and nice). If you’re not a people person, maybe don’t work in a field of in-person treatment? especially in an facility that deals with mental health and older adults! these staff seemed to have their nose in the air the whole time. the fact that this wasn’t a one time occurrence of maybe only one staff member is concerning. there is a difference between being firm and being RUDE. especially when directed at a patient or concerned family members. and the wish wash, uncoordinated communication was not reassuring and hardly ever informing.

1 /5 Wendy Borcyk: Sent my daughter there because I know you provide mental health services. Your physician Dr. Pon was rude, condescending, and told her at least 3 times that since she wasnt having an emergency like a heart attack he couldnt help her. There is so much stigma with mental health and youre not helping. You didnt show up for her- you need to change your slogan.

1 /5 Lisa Kauffman: ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE PLACE!!! ANDREA, the person in charge of getting my daughter in there when she was on deaths door, lied to us about almost everything; that it will only take 15 min in ER because so small to get her in a room...it took 4 hours, to the staff is qualified, that they will place her somewhereafter, etc etc!!! The staff is highly unqualified, they withheld meds, the facilities were cold, they told me she was there when she wasnt, they just discharged her after 72 hours and she was a wreck!! No meds except gaba and absolutely did not help her one bit to find out where to go next. She could not use a computer or anything to help her to find a place to go!!! Just put her out on the street. This place us a NIGHTMARE!!!! IT SHOULD BE SHUT DOWN!!! ABSOLUTELY HORRID!!!!!!!!

1 /5 Marcy Wenke: I have had two terrible experiences first was at Bellaire Medical Center and the second was at Largo Medical Center. I would not recommend either of these places I have been stuck with unnecessary bills one of them is Medicare fraud. I am extremely upset I hope I never have to go to an HCA hospital as long as I live
