Florida Hospital Wauchula

I came to Advent Health needing spiritual and physical healing. This place has all and more of what I needed. The staff is unbelievably warm and helpful. The therapy department is better than any I have known. Dr Lee who oversees this facility comes by every day to see how things are going. This is a ministry to see that you do get well. Come here you will be helped.

I am absolutely horrified at the lack of thorough care with this facility! Brought my 5 year old in this past Sunday for abdominal pain and I’m just at a lost for the treatment/care given. First off, when checking him in the front desk staff didn’t follow through with standard procedure to ask for an ID (in order to properly ID who I was) and didn’t ask if any of the contact or insurance information had changed. I had to tell her everything that changed, so that it could be billed properly. Secondly, the Dr. did a urinalysis to check for blood or infection and. CT to which the urine came back normal, but the CT showed that the bottom of his lungs were collapsed and that was never told to me!!!!!! We were discharged being chalked down to my child just having gas !!!! (Mind you I had informed them as well that my son was being currently treated for bronchitis and wheezing.) Thirdly, the abdominal pain got worse and he started having chest pain, body shakes, rapid breathing, rapid heart rate, dizziness, and face flushing... so we went back to the ER again last night. Once we get there they choose to do an X-ray in order to check on his lungs to see if they were clear or not. By the end of them checking him and the xrays, the Dr. then told me that his lungs were clear and that he was lead to believe/think that this was allergy related issues and possible asthma which go hand in hand. Stated that I needed him to see an ENT referral to pulmonary Dr for a formal diagnoses of asthma to be done/confirmed. Also, to follow up with his Pediatric Dr. Lastly, we go in today at noon to follow up with his Pediatric Doctor bc he is still having a lot of pain and issues breathing. She does a thorough check of him and reads through all of the Doctor notes from Both ER trips, informing me that they noted findings of the bottom of his lungs being collapsed and significant constipation along with other noted symptoms that matched up with him having pneumonia !!!! Which means that the medications he has been on attempting to treat and cure his bronchitis hasn’t worked. Finally, thanks to his amazing Pediatric Doctor thoroughly checking on him and following up with his through this entire situation, we were finally able to know what was going on with my son and now he will be on antibiotics that hopefully should nip this pneumonia in the butt. I do not and will not recommend this Hospital to anyone ever. I am so furious about how all of this was handled by them and the lack of care to truly treat or diagnose my child. Do not come to this Hospital, make the drive to Lakeland Regional for the proper care.

Brand new hospital in Wauchula. Excellent place

If I could give this hospital zero stars, I would. I had terrible care in the ER after arriving by ambulance with severe abdominal pain. The attending physician and nurse all but told me to my face that I was there for pain meds. While they may get a lot of addicts, I am a professional, respectable citizen and was shocked at the level of disrespect I was treated with. I would not recommend this hospital to anyone, and would never go there again.

This is one of the rudest, uneducated Hospitalsl I have ever had the misfortune of going to. While my brother was laying in pain and throwing up in the emergency room, the nurses and aids laughed and cut a fool. He was in the hospital 3 nights and days. His hemoglobin dropped to 8 which is half what it should be and they released him to follow up with another doctor. I gave them one star just to post a comment. In all actuality I would give them a minus -12. This is totally a bandaid hospital.
