One of the worst hospitals I have ever experienced. My mother is currently there, and I have seen mostly nurses and doctors (not all) who could care less about the patient. This the second time in the last year my mother has been treated like a disposable napkin. My mother was moved out of ICU into a unit where I walked down empty hallways. Two days later she was moved back down to ICU due to a doctor stating she was not ready to be moved out. Are you guys not reading all of the same complaints about your hospital? How would you like to be treated, or your loved ones to be treated like this? Not enough staff, and incapable of getting a complete answer from someone. Last straw was finding my mother in a bed of old feces, and a catheter which was not strapped to her leg and cause trauma to her bladder from moving around. I visited her the next day after they moved her, and saw her bag filled with blood, and guess what? The nurse blamed it on the patient. My mother can not bend, nor be mobile on her own. You need to invest in a better staff, and possibly staff who will care of the patients as if they were their own loved ones. Also, some of the older nurses have such a nasty jaded attitude towards any questions asked. You chose to have a career in the medical field, and the territory of having to answer to concerned family should've been expected. Maybe getting someone in there to clean house should be evaluated as soon as possible.
Lack of visitor parking. There's plenty of parking if you're a doctor.
No chairs in the rooms - It's obvious that JFK wants to do everything they can to make visiting as painful as possible and I believe that's deliberate.
I have to side with the negative reviews of this facility. Specifically:
Worst hospital in west palm beach Florida. The Nurse is super bad. I have surgery over there , after the surgery the doctor disappeared, no one come to talk to me or my Family. I was in recovery room, Pain so bad , try to call Nurse give me some medication. She yelled at me for wait and finally she show up after an hour. She said it not her fault she was trying call the doctor, well doctor so busy huh. So sad I never had some things like this before.Don’t ever come there. Go to Wellington better. I had last hell night
Well first of all i just Want to say I’ve never been treated so poorly at a hospital. I feel Like i was Discriminated because of the reason i was Here, they didn’t give me a nicotine patch for the first 24 hours and then when i want To go to the vending machine they said no, so i went anyways. Then i get Moved to the back of the wing where you have to have a badge to leave the area like I’m in jail. I definitely won’t be coming back here ..
Airport-style security - Slow, invasive, and spectacularly unnecessary.
The Masters of Overcharges - You will get big bills with no explanation or supporting documentation. You can't dispute them without talking to someone in billing but billing never answers the phone or returns calls. Brilliant!
Gave birth to my daughter last November 2016, I was very happy with my choice and I would make it again for sure. The nurses were amazing and accommodating!! Very informative as well, they read my birth plan, were very supportive and helped me through everything, I felt like I was definitely in good hands. The rooms were private and very spacious for family and friends. My only complaint was toward my doctor, but let me be clear the Hospital is not to blame. If I would've chosen someone who would've actually shown up, their would be no complaint. The doctor on call didn't know me and was rude, he didn't bother to read my birth plan, just glanced at it (I didn't ask for much, or anything unreasonable.) He sat there the whole time on his phone until it was "time" and refused to let me give birth my way. My ONLY regret is NOT going psycho on his ass by yelling at him to leave my room immediately and let me delivery my child on my own (with the assistance of the nurses of course.) I had asked for a completely natural birth in ANY position except on my back. Which was very important to me.
JFK is a living, breathing example of why we should socialize medicine in this country.
Before West Palm took on the JFK name, it was a better hospital. Now that it's JFK North, the service has degraded to match JFK MC. So, this is no accident and specific to the JFK name.
