The only positive experience from this hospital was my dad’s surgeon. Dr. Bloomston was awesome! However that is where the positive ends. The waiting rooms leave a lot to be desired. The nurses and hospital security is very rude on the icu floors. The icu nurses on the 8 th floor let my father sit in pain for hours after surgery and when we asked why it was he was in so much pain, they said he had pain medication at his fingertips via a pump. There was only one issue with this. They had his hands bandages up in mits so the pump was doing him no good. His nurses did not appear to realize this until we pointed it out. Visiting my father has become a nightmare as the nurses make you wait for several minutes to a half hour outside the icu doors before they either notice you or they decide they feel like letting you in. Today is Christmas but they make no exceptions for the patients and their families to the new rule that no one but them seem to be aware of. They won’t let anyone in to see him now because the nurses told my sister that between 6:30-7:30 it’s their shift change (No where is this posted). They have turned 3 family members away after they waited 30 minutes to get in before they told them their rule (they were here at 6pm). Visiting hours are from 8am-2pm and 2pm-8pm as posted on the walls outside the of the icu entrance (note that quiet time is from 2pm- 4 pm as posted every where throughout the hospital.
My family could not have been taken care of any better. The 6th floor team was amazing.We will be forever grateful for all that you did for our family!
A smile wouldn't hurt esp when a sick child is infront of you! I get work sometimes isn't the best but if your going look act miserable take your ass home and stare at walls! Adults/children come in sick in different ways feeling miserable last thing they want is to see your depressed looking face! And that's just the front check in! GET BETTER STAFF!
Service bad and ULTRA lacking. Will never back. Left horribly. Stayed for an a will never go back. They are still from lack of work and
/or effort not releasing me when I feel fine and have told them this current issue of concern is old news. They aren't trying to get this resolved. Got me feeling so sick while the physical issues have gotten better They should give more attention to the poor reviews to improve. The owner only comments on the good ones and ignores the poor comments
It's the best Hospital I've been!!
All the people who work there are very friendly and helpful, it's hard to find a hospital with so much humanity!!
I just received a call from a collection agency that lee memorial uses. They told me lee has turned me over to them for collection for an unpaid bill of $83.00 for visiting emergency room back in march 2017. My wife and I are snow birds from Michigan. They billed Medicare and blue cross. My balance remaining was the $83.00 which I never received a bill for from lee memorial. I called the lee billing and was told they send t out a bill to my Florida home. I never received there bill. They sent out 3 more bills to my Michigan address, but sent them to the wrong street name. So they just turned me over to collection. I ask billing why didn't you call me, you have my cell number. She told me they are too busy to make calls. I said you would rather ruine my credit over 83.00 my wife and I will never use Lee Memorial again.
I was admitted the morning of the huricane. I have never been to a hospital here in Fort Myers. I received the best care from the nurses,and Drs. Very hard working staff. The A team during the storm was top notch. Stayed long enough to be taken care of by B team also. My nurses on the 7th floor were awesome. Thanks to Amanda my nurse who went beyond caring. 7216 will always remember the good care.
Emergency room is usually over run with people who should be at urgent care, not the ER! Other than that I cannot complain about doctors, nursing staff, or the rest of the staff. I have found the level of care very good and the staff very caring. This comes from the many times my mother has been admitted and two ER trips for myself!
The personnel were friendly. They got me right in. I wasn't there very long in the ER. I just didn't like talking to Dr in hallway in a gown. Guess they were out of rooms. It needed floor cleaning. It was still a good visit. They Very nice and professional.
Waited in ER 2+ hours to be seen. They took me to a room that had someone else's blood all over the floor. It was disgustingly dirty. Never given remote to be able to call a nurse if needed. This used to be the go-to hospital in Lee County. The only one worse is Cape Coral Hospital. They also failed to put allergy identification on my wristband. I had to stop the nurse from using a product that I am severely allergic to. Why is the furniture in the ER at least 20 years old and broken? They may claim to be not-for-profit but, wow, can't someone clean up the blood on the floor before bringing another patient into it? That is extremely dangerous for someone who is immune-compromised.
My mom came in Sunday with BP problem which was resolved. Here it is Wednesday and she's still in! The inefficiency of lab reports and communications between staff is overwhelming. Avoid this hospital if you can.
However, Dr. Bruah was great -- spent time, informative, compassionate and professional.
My surgery went well and everyone there was so nice and helpful. Dr. Lin is an amazing surgeon, and I can finally walk without pain. Thank you times a million.
The people at Lee Memorial were some of the nicest and caring people i could have had the pleasure of being cared with. I went in for a possible heart attack and they did everything above and beyond to calm me down and help me pull thru. I will go no where else but Lee Memorial!!
Given a female urinal, the shape of the opening making my urine fall onto the bed sheets. Was not given any wipes, so can't use the bathroom. It takes forever for anyone to answer the call light, then when they do nobody does anything about the problem. Would not recommend.
