HCA Florida Brandon Hospital

I had to have emergency surgery on 8/1/22 to put on an external stabilizer on top of my left leg. I can’t bend my knee at all and can’t get out of bed by myself. The surgeon and the nurses and the therapists have been remarkable. I initially requested to be sent to a Rehabilitation Center until my 2nd surgery. This didn’t happen by the end of the first week. Over the weekend the hospital intern, Dr Juan Angel pressured me to go home, even knowing the fact that I was bedridden. A couple of days after my release the home healthcare PT person saw me and said immediately that I needed to go to a rehab center. This has put a lot of stress on both me and my fiancé as he has had to take time off of work because I can’t be left alone and the several times a night that he has to get up to help me. Also I have now found out that it’s harder to get into rehab after you leave the hospital. In order to get a referral to go into rehab I have to go see my primary care physician which I can’t do and non medical transport to go anywhere is $515.00 round trip. There are other things I could say but space is limited. If you are in the hospital or if a family member is do not let Dr Angel talk you into something that should not be done. Please get information from your insurance provider or friends and family before making that decision.

I have never been here before , but my brother was sent here from his job. My first reaction was to get him transferred to another hospital why? This place is by far the most disgusting hospital ever . Floors are dirty , gum stuck to the hand sanitizer wipes box, the doctors and nurses are so rude . I asked them for help because my brother needed to use the restroom . No one came and he ended up peeing on himself . Then when I needed to use the restroom the below picture is what I saw when I walked in. Immediately I told the nurse and all they said was ok, then said in Spanish all these people do is complain they thought we didn’t speak Spanish but clearly we do. I came back hrs later and STILL it looked like the image below . This place is so trashy , I will never allow anyone in our family to come here . It wasn’t our choice after we told the ambulance to go to a different hospital and they instead took him here . This place needs to be bought out by advent or just get shut down . It’s disgusting. I wouldn’t even send my worse enemy here . Think twice before going here

Becky the nurse was amazing, patient, loving, and essential while i was in labor. She made me feel a great deal better and safer, along with the epidural. Everyone at the hospital was also fantastic. My women's care midwife made the actual delivery quick and efficient. If i became pregnant again, would def return to the same hospital.

I delivered my son here on 1/16/22. Every single employee we encountered treated my husband, son, and I with so much care, made sure we were comfortable, and ensured we had everything we needed. We were extremely grateful that there was always someone quickly bringing us anything we requested, and answering any questions we had about the labor process. I will say if there is any opportunity for improvement, it would be to give moms more information about their own personal care before discharge, especially if given stitches. It would’ve been really helpful to understand exactly where my stitches were and a healing/ care timeline for how to handle them as the days go on after mom gets discharged. All in all, I am really beyond satisfied with the treatment we received.
