HCA Florida North Florida Hospital Emergency Room - Gainesville (FL)

4 /5 Anita Tomlinson: I felt the ER staff were very attentive and even though they were very busy, seemed to care. My down side would be that I arrived around noon and was admitted pretty quickly. But, I was still in the ER until around 11:30 PM. Once I was taken up to my room I was told my room was ready around 6:30 PM.

4 /5 David Cressler: Treatment was excellent. The explanation given by the attending physician was poor. He started off with a joke about the Johnny Carson Show, "Stump the Band" said I had an abscess that was in the proximity of the Appendix, but never said that I had had a ruptured Appendix. Not did any of my attending physicians, Radiologist(s) or Surgeon, or Doctor. The night nurse said it out load after looking at. the screen record Thursday night, which I thought she jumped to conclusions. When I asked the Doctor on the 3rd day of there was a way to determine where the infection came from, thats the first time she said ruptured appendix. Other communication and service problems in the hospital. The ER was otherwise excellent.

5 /5 Maggie Murdoch: I was seen quickly and felt taken care of by the entire staff. They all seemed to be considerate of my comfort and well-being. Once the decision was made to admit me to the hospital transport did take a very long time (over 2 hours) to arrive.
