VivaMás Medical Center Hialeah - Hialeah (FL)

Antolin Ruiz I recently had the pleasure of spending two days at Larkin Community Hospitals Palm Springs campus, and I can honestly say it was one of the most positive healthcare experiences Ive ever had. From the moment I walked through the doors, I felt welcomed and cared for. The registration process was seamless and efficient. The front desk staff greeted me with warm smiles, making me feel at ease immediately. They took the time to explain each step of the process, ensuring that I understood everything without feeling rushed. It was evident that they genuinely cared about making my experience as stress-free as possible. When it came time for my surgery, I was very nervous, but the surgical team was nothing short of exceptional. They introduced themselves, explained the procedure in detail, and answered all my questions with patience and kindness. Their professionalism and expertise shone through, and I felt confident that I was in great hands. The anesthesiologist took the time to reassure me, which helped to calm my nerves even further. Post-surgery, I was transferred to a comfortable recovery room where the nursing care truly stood out. The nurses at Larkin Community Hospital were like angels in scrubs. They were attentive, compassionate, and always checked in on me to ensure I was comfortable and managing my pain. Each nurse took the time to listen to my concerns and provided thorough explanations about my recovery process. Their genuine kindness made a world of difference during a vulnerable time. The facilities themselves were immaculate, with a calming atmosphere that helped make my stay even more pleasant. The food was surprisingly good, and I appreciated the variety of options available. It was refreshing to have tasty meals that contributed to my overall comfort while recovering. Overall, my experience at Larkin Community Hospital Palm Springs campus was exceptional. The combination of outstanding medical care, a warm and welcoming environment, and a dedicated staff made my two-day stay as comfortable as possible. I left feeling not only physically better but also uplifted by the kindness I received. I wholeheartedly recommend this hospital to anyone in need of care. Thank you, Larkin Community Hospital, for such a wonderful experience!

Joanna Jubitana I have been requesting immediate support because my landlord is attempting fraud, and I am being held responsible for their actions by agencies distributing government financial assistance, including Camillus House and Citrus Health Network. I was not informed that I had to pay $51 per month until May 2024, despite signing my lease in September 2023. Citrus Health Network stated they would cover my entire rent of $1,923 or up to the equivalent amount because I was in the Section 8 ELAN program, as indicated in the ELAN document I signed with Citrus Health Network. However, in May 2024, HUD informed me that I was not a Section 8 participant and that my program was part of the Continuum of Care Program for permanent housing. In May 2024, my landlord, Nadlan Property Management, charged me the full rent amount for the period from September 2023 to May 2024, as well as late fees of approximately $300 per month thereafter. I was unemployed at the time, and my program supervisor at Citrus Health Network was aware that I could not contribute to payments, as rehousing was an emergency for those transitioning from a shelter with children. They agreed to wait for a decision from the Social Security Administration regarding my income before I began paying my portion of the rent, as my children’s father had not been paying child support. During this waiting period, the landlord continued to apply late fees of approximately $300 per month. Unfortunately, I was denied income from the Social Security Administration in September 2024, which forced me to seek reemployment. I began working part-time for Miami Dade County Public Schools as a Reading Interventionist at Paul Laurence Dunbar Elementary from late August to late October but was terminated due to a lack of funding for the interventionist position as stated by the school principal. During this time, more late fees were included with the unpaid rent. I contributed to the rent during my two months of work, yet late fees continued to accrue after I submitted my rent. Now, the City of Miami has refused to pay the landlord their portion of the rent due to failed inspections by the landlord, not because of me. However, the landlord is attempting to hold me responsible for these failures. When I shared this with Alexandra Reyes at Camillus House, she dismissed my concerns and sided with Nadlan Property Management. I was not present for the September 5, 2024 inspection but attended the inspection on February 7, 2025, which was successfully completed by the Section 8 inspector. He will return in 30 days to verify that the necessary maintenance work has been completed. I had not heard from Fatima Reyes or Section 8 regarding the September 5 inspection, which occurred while I was at work. If that inspection did not take place, it would be considered another failure, which might explain why Section 8 has not approved payments, although this has not been officially declared. Additionally, Alexandra Reyes stated that Section 8 would not cover the rent from the time of the failed inspection and that I would be responsible for that portion. I should not be held liable for rent due to the failed inspection, as Section 8 needs to fulfill their obligation to submit payments for the rent that was agreed upon. This situation is fraudulent and could lead to homelessness, with no one advocating for me and my children as tenants. Instead, it appears that various organizations, including the Homeless Trust, Nadlan Property Management, Camillus House, the Lotus House Women & Children Shelter, and even the Office of Housing Advocacy are manipulating the system to organize homelessness in order to lead the government and gain more funding.

Lissette Rhode Perfect Customer Service! I went there cause I had pelvic pain and vaginal bleeding… they found keednies infection, it would have been appreciated a diagnosis associated to the pain and bleeding…. But, they were all very helpful and professional

Cori Roberson I’ve been a client since August, coming for Physical Therapy after an accident. I see Kelly multiple times a week & she’s great at what she does. Takes her time, gentle but gets the job done, & very sweet. Good conversation & overall a big help to my recovery & body. The ladies at the front desk are just as nice. As well as the other staff in the building. The entire company is great. Great people here to take care of your needs. Highly recommend for anyone interested in the services they offer!

Lynn Sofranko When I contacted Dr Vasquezs office I was given clear instructions on what to bring, asked to arrive 15 minutes prior to complete paperwork along with my appointment date from Angeline (hope I spelled her name correctly) Upon arriving for my appointment I was politely greeted by the front staff, exchanged requested information and seen several minutes PRIOR to my appointment time. Being seen in a timely fashion is a HUGE PLUS as it eases any nerves and illustrates a mutual respect for everyones time. Running on time does not seem to be a priority in South Florida so this was very surprising and appreciated. Angeline took a brief history in the exam room, she was very pleasant and within minutes Dr. Vasquez entered the exam room,. I found her to be thorough, engaging, very kind, I did not feel rushed and felt very "heard" with respect to my concerns. She even shared her love for hockey :) She created a short & long term plan of care to address immediate concerns as well as to find out what the root of my medical issue is/was. I found this office as a whole to be very professional, VERY organized and pleasant. Instructions were given clearly and completely as demonstrated with the first phone call, Dr. Vasquezs plan of action and the front staff reiterating necessary details upon check out. I absolutely felt my concerns and question were addressed by Dr. Vasquez & her staff. I believe I could comfortably contact the office at anytime and it would not be an imposition on the staff, as is the case in other medical offices, I felt that welcome by them. I would HIGHLY recommend Dr. Vasquez and the office as a whole. I had a great experience.
