UF Health Pediatric Emergency Room - Gainesville (FL)

5 /5 Erica Deese: I brought my 5 month old baby in for vomiting, diarrhea, fever as recommended by our pediatrician. The receptionists were kind and prompt. We were triaged within 5 minutes. The triage nurse was very caring and let me know that if I had any concerns while in the lobby that I can bring back to be triaged again immediately. I was in a room within 20-30 minutes and saw a nurse (Darby), a 4th year med student, and the attending doctor (Dr. Patel) almost immediately. All were wonderful! All were patient with my fussy baby and attentive. They all checked on us very frequently and truly acted like they cared. We were only there about 2.5 hours and most of the waiting was monitoring my baby to see how she responded to the medications. I have no complaints and I am so happy that we have a trusted pediatric ER so close by!

5 /5 Joseph Walker: From triage, to x ray, to discharge it was a pleasant and expedited experience. They had us x rayed within an hour and out the door and splinted in under 1.5 hrs. Dr. Holland was polite and courteous and the entire staff was friendly with an excellent bedside manner. I can’t say enough positive things about the staff who was working on Christmas Day 2024. Thank you for making what seemed like a frustrating holiday a positive experience!!

5 /5 Cory Phillips: Took a minute to get in as front desk didn’t really care we had a protocol letter. But the ER nurse and doc were very frustrated they didn’t get us back immediately. The doc and nurses were very helpful and friendly.

5 /5 Kayla Robinson: I can say the treatment of my daughter at this hospital was outstanding. She has special needs, and the other hospital we went to refused to try to put an iv in her until they sedated her first. Here, they had a plan that was successful fairly quickly. No sedation was needed or even considered. I appreciate that and all the staff that helped her. Chelsey was fantastic!
