Catheter-related bloodstream infection (CRBSI) treatment in 59 Vascular surgery clinics in Americas

BEWARE: Don’t send your family here and if Dr.Simon of Lakeview is the doctor get another doctor. Keep my brother on restraint and lots of medication and keep him in ICU My brother was sent here without our consent on 10/16/2023, plus we had informed admissions there and Lakeview case manager that he was not to come there by any means necessary weeks before the 16th. My brother was sent Monday and family had no idea & died that Tuesday morning about 6am.No one has reached out to the family to explain what happened and why he was sent there. What Rea happened at Pam Rehab ? I have been calling Scott with Pam , want call back . Also been calling Gretchen with Lakeview No answer and will not return calls. We just want to know what happened. Answers , but look like a cover up is happening here.

Pam was indeed a life saving facility for my husband. After suffering a severe stroke leaving him paralyzed on one side PAM took him into their Ltac unit where with their professional, knowledgeable and caring team got him to the point that he was moved to the rehab unit. There the team worked daily to get him started back on the road to an independent life. All the team from the front desk, front office, maintenance personnel, especially the nurses, therapist, aides and PA Lisa made us feel like family. We are forever grateful for our time there.

I started there in February of 2023 with my first surgery and had a wound vac, I was so scared , but I met Ashley, Amber , Amanda, Natalie , Kim and Chris and I knew I was going to be well taken care of and all my fears went away. They are all amazing then and now I’m back with second surgery . I was asked if I wanted home health nurse and i said”NO”that I wanted to go back to wound care. They are amazing I would highly recommend to anyone to go there. From the receptionist, the staff and everyone there , all are friendly and professional.

I stayed here for 3 weeks and it was Amazing! Very clean and well kept facility, the Staff is warm and welcoming, You can tell that the Nurses really care and that it's more than just a job to them. The Aides are just as caring and dedicated. And P/T & O/T were very committed to my recovery! Love and going to miss them all!! YW/24 & 14A

Post Acute Medical took excellent care of my mom. From the staff that greeted you, to the nurses, doctors, food service workers, nursing assistants and the front office staff, they were always willing to help and assist in any way. The facility is so clean. The case workers stayed in communication with me on a daily basis, and were so kind and patient with all the questions I had. Thank you all for taking care of my mom and helping her get the care she needed. It’s about the human connection and spirit that helps people heal. PAM’s staff had that plus more! Thanks again!

My husband was recently placed at PAM and released to North Oaks Rehab for further treatment. The outstanding treatment he received at PAM by all their staff was absolutely the best in health care. Due to his medical issues, he has unfortunately been a patient at many health care facilities. PAM offered and delivered the best care we have received in the region. The staff, from the nurses, nurse practitioners, CNAs, occupational therapists, physical therapists, housekeepers, our case manager, our patient advocate and the kitchen staff were all courteous, knowledgeable, and took care of my husband as though he was family! A great big thank you to the following: Brittany, Danny, Adam, Marissa, Leslie, Abby, Carly, Shelbie, Catherine, Paula, Paige, Lacey, Bonnie, Abby, Laurie, Angelica, Precious, and for all of you who treated my husband with such dignity and respect and for giving him the best care he has ever received while away from home.

If I could give zero stars I would. My mother had a knee replacement three weeks ago. Today was her first day to go to this rehab facility. The therapist got onto her (rather rudely) and said "she doesnt need to be a hero and should still be on a Walker!" Then he proceeded to give her two exercises to do. These were the same two exercises she was doing the day after surgery. She came home in tears and defeated. Both her physical therapist at my home and her surgeon said she is doing excellent with recovery and healing. It is so sad that this individual is still practicing and hindering healing on others.

From the day I got here I have received nothing but the best of care..from the nurses,cna's and drs they are by far the best of the best..Saul in physical therapy is the best and Grady in the caseworkers office goes above and beyond to help you..This place is outstanding in their kitchen, ( I have never had hospital food taste so good)..my experience here will never be forgotten as the best care a patient could get..Thank you PAM health care

This post is on behalf of my mother, Amy Lugo. She has been extremely pleased with the therapy services offered @ PAM! She says she has had and continues to have a pleasant experience with all staff, both on the business side and therapist side. She would highly recommend your facility to any individual in need of physical rehabilitation services. She also wants to express sincere appreciation to all PAM staff she has encountered thus far.

Pam on 1604 is the worse place to take your love one. I could put why but I wouldn't have enough space to write of ALL the wrong things they do and their manners. PLEASE, don't take your love one there.

Overall I never got clear communication. They never made us gown up knowing my mom was contagious. I asked for certain tests to be done and they never listened or called not even a physician. My mom would be screaming in pain due to her condition and they just acted like she was crazy. I can’t go into much detail without just being extremely upset. The nurses would talk so badly and you could hear them. I feel like my mom may have had a chance to live if she had been placed in better hands but they neglected her didn’t even do the tests they were supposed to and a nutritionist never called till right before she back to the hospital to be put in ICU and by then her infection spread more and went to her spine. Very sad. My mom spent over 45 years saving lives and serving as a nurse only to be treated badly and neglected.i forgot to add when my mom got readmitted she was filthy and the nurses in icu bathed her I never saw her once get cleaned up at Pam or even her hair fixed. She deteriorated so badly there and this was just a few months ago so please if you love your friends and family don’t send them here unless you never want to see them again.

If you want your loved one to die send them here. The hospital is not interested in creating policies that keep their patients safe. 95% of the nurses are incompetent and have no business being licensed by Texas or any state for that matter. Oscar Brownlee- Chief Nursing Officer and Vanessa Smith- Nurse Manager lack the follow through to keep any patient safe. They are both very nice and respectful but they care more about customer service as opposed to patient safety. They allow potentially fatal mistakes to continually happen without consequences. Kim Aguedo- Quality director is 100% incompetent. I don’t think she has any notion of how to take care of a patient. This is evident in her policy implementation. Nothing she implements makes an ounce of sense. I looked Kim up on the Texas Board of Nursing website and she does not show up as a licensed nurse. Would you want someone making decisions about how your loved one is taken care of? Someone who has never taken care of a patient? Maybe her license is listed under an alternate name or a different state. Steer clear of this facility at all cost. It really is an unsafe environment. Disclaimer- This is insider information so do with it what you will. I’m sure Post Acute Medical will attempt to discredit this post and someone will respond by saying I am disgruntled. But nothing I’ve said is untrue. I have worked for this company for a total of about a year and 3months. During this time I have seen so much flagrant disregard for policy and Management do nothing about it. I am not disgruntled, I am relieved that I no longer have to worry about being liable for other employees who are not interested in following policy.

The building is a little old and has a few maintenance issues but the staff here is incredible. My day nurse Brandy is absolutely amazing. She goes above and beyond to make sure your stay here is the best experience you can possibly have. Her bedside manner is absolutely amazing. Brandy is very knowledgeable and does her absolute best to keep you comfortable and very well taken care of. My night nurse Heather is absolutely amazing as well. They both go above and beyond to make your stay here the best it can be. The nurse techs are very kind and gentle and try their very best to do everything in a timely manor,…. I would like to add that nurse Dawn is an absolutely amazing person and nurse who takes amazing care of her patients and isn’t afraid to go above and beyond to make her patients feel like friends or family and be as comfortable as they can be. She’s very smart and nice and considerate. You need more nurses like her and lots more techs like Teressa and Alyssa. They are I mean there isn’t words to describe how good these ladies are at their jobs and how well they take care of me even when they are short staffed….. Summer and Cam are absolutely amazing techs. They are fast to answer the call light and are very caring and affectionate people. They are amazing at making sure you are comfortable and having everything you need and want. I believe every one of the techs should have to work a few shifts with these two ladies just so they know how to have great bedside manner and great people skills as well as do the job proudly and professionally.

PAM has taken exceptional care in doing their best to make me comfortable and take care of both my medical and personal needs. Brandy is one of my day nurses, and is very compassionate.

Pam LTAC has been the most amazing experience for me with my family member the dialysis department is phenomenal they treat the patients like it’s their own family. The kidney doctors are wonderful. Nikki the dialysis nurse goes above and beyond to make everything as comfortable as it can be I definitely recommend if your family needs dialysis and ltac setting. Thank you all for what you do

I wanted to take my time with this review, as the nurses here at PAM are ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL! Shout out to Miss Kaitlin, Miss Rachel, Miss Loree, Miss Carolyn, Miss Elise, Miss Kim, Miss Christina, Miss Becky, Miss Mayra, Miss Emma and Miss Maygon, who from my experience happen to be the best in wound care! There is more to wound care than just slapping a band aid on your boo-boo... These ladies by their presence, bring an atmosphere of healing and wellness, joy and mirth, plus I must mention that they truly care for their patients! It really was the highlight of my day to be seen and treated by these ladies! Although I am older than them all, I called them all "Miss" as I felt that they should be treated with respect. These ladies aren't just some fly-by-night candy stripers, but very knowledgeable, positive, professional women, who placed me onto their schedule, and with The Lord Jesus' healing power, took care of my body! I really feel as though I were family by the way I was treated. I came in with an unresponsive wound which gave another facility fits, and these ladies just laughed at it, took control of it and treated me without blinking! I am healed today by The Lord's grace and these women doing what they do. I came in a little under the weather, and these women showed genuine concern, even having Miss Jessica call to check up on me! I was impressed... even more so when I had surgery while under their care, and these women of PAM took care of that as well! I have so much confidence in these nurses, that if my arm is severed in a freak accident, or if I get a splinter in my big toe, Post Acute Medical is where I'm going! As a Bishop and Doctor, I highly and wholeheartedly recommend these ladies and this facility... 5 STARS!!!

Top notch care.they said they would save my husband's foot and they did. We are extremely happy with the care and treatment he received. I would definitely recommend anyone to go there for wound care. We will miss them but so glad he doesn't have to go anymore.

What a blessing we have in Victoria. After having complications after surgery on my left foot , I requested a referral to PAM for wound care. They provided excellent care and the results speak for themselves! I was outpatient from June through August, receiving hyperbaric treatment, wound care and skin grafting. The staff was second to none! Caring, compassionate and continually educating me throughout the process. They turned a very bleak situation into a success story! Thank you from the bottom of my heart! Jim Simpson Victoria

The hospital is not bad at all or the nurses, my concern is why do they give patients water from the faucet knowingly it tastes awful? That is my biggest main concern other than that the staff especially the case manager Cynthia she is an awesome person, again Thank so much.

I had a great experience at Pam. As a patient there I was paralyzed from my belly button down and the care and respect I recieved was tremendous. I left Pam with my wounds healed and ready for rehabilitation such a great team thanks Pam!!!!

If I could give no stars I would this place is absolutely horrendous. My husband is paralyzed and they leave him in his bed no attempts at physical therapy nothing to actually care for him. They did a Foley catheter because it was too inconvenient to do his straight catheter. They leave him ignored at the end of a hallway. The environment is dark and dingy. The parking is a whole other issue on its own. It takes 20/30 minutes for him to be attended to after pushing his call button. They shouldn’t be accepting patients who they aren’t equipped to care for

My father is currently residing here after a biopsy gone wrong and over a month in a coma at the ICU. After a rough experience in the ICU, this place is like a breath of fresh air. Consistent care, kind staff and a willingness and eagerness to heal. Mariana especially is one of the most amazing healthcare staff I have ever met.

Absolutely horrible place I do not recommend sending your loved ones here. Before my dad passed we sent him there in hopes that they would take care of him and treat him well because he was very very ill to the point of needing 24/7 care. But, we were terribly wrong the rooms were absolutely disgusting and not being cleaned even the chairs had so much build up I had to deep clean them and the room. The bed they had him in as well was gross and sticky. I unfortunately had to do their job and clean his room everyday. I unfortunately had to also monitor his colostomy bag because they would let it get so full that when they would finally clean when i asked that it overflowed and spilled on the floor. I had help them clean it up because they left it for hours and took them and hour and a half just to get the bag in the first place after i asked them to remove the old filled one with a clean new one. The list goes on unfortunately. In his stay there he also got bed sores i would ask them to help move him often and put pillows under him so that he wouldn’t get bed sores and they never did. The hospital he was at before this was osu. Every hour or two like clockwork osu’s staff would turn him and put pillows under him so he wouldn’t. PAM failed to do this even when I asked especially when I would leave they slacked at taking care of him. I had to move him myself some so that he wouldn’t be uncomfortable. He was in the hospital for months unfortunately and later passed. I’m here 4 months later after his passing to share this because I don’t want this to happen to anyone again. My father didn’t deserve to be treated the way he was at PAM especially being a veteran that served for our country.

They took excellent care of my momma! In a time when time was critical the staff was very quick with their response time. My momma was able to return to her home in a very reasonable amount of time. With out the care and dedication of the staff here she would not be back home with us.

My husbands best friend has been in the Pam Unit for 2 months. Not once was the room cleaned. Floors were so dirty. They would leave their trash laying in the room and on his bed. There was one RN nurse who was meanest uncaring person I have ever seen! They have now moved him to a nursing facility over 4 1/2 hours away that has awful reviews. It is so sad how people treat sick patients 👎🏻 they don’t even deserve a 1 star

DO NOT BRING YOUR FAMILY MEMBER HERE!! If I can give this place 0 or negative I would. This guy named James is a liar, and this lady Rose will not listen to you and dismiss you! Was on hold for more than 20 minutes, since my brother didn't receive his dinner. This guy named James put us on hold and confirmed that the patient finished his dinner but did not record it, 2 CNAs couldnt remember what food was served or what the patient ate. Spoke with the visitor that was there and confirmed that there were no food. This lady named Rose, who is the charge nurse after answering the phone told us (without listening what we have to say), that she just gave him a sandwich and some fruits. Mainly to shut us up.. Why did they lie to us and confirmed just to get us off the phone??? They didn't even apologize. If they lie on this little thing, makes me wonder what else they could be lying. This place needs to be closed down or need to replace all the incompetent staff.

My dad has been at PAM's for a little over 2 months and is set to transfer in the next few days. This facility is AMAZING, and my family and I are blessed to have had my dad here. He had a stroke after having a double bypass surgery with 2 valves replaced and was transferred to PAM's. This facility has treated him and us like family and truly taken care of him as if he were their own dad, brother, or uncle. PAM's is extremely clean and has tons of staff that are willing to help! My dad is my world, and it was extremely scary when trying to choose a facility for him to be moved to, and if PAM's is a choice, choose it!!! Some of the AMAZING staff members: Case manager: Marc Director of Rehab: Natalia Speech therapy: Genevieve Hannah Occupational therapy: Ceci Diane Brian Physical therapy: Maritta Kim Mike Respiratory therapy: Ray Lauren Wound care: Johnathon Katie Gentiva Sylvia Nurses: Rosa Ebony Mario Cayts Kelsey CNA: Cherry Yvonne Fernando Veronica Steven (Night shift) Each one of these people went above and beyond while taking care of my dad! I can't say thank you enough and am truly blessed to have met you all! Thank you all for making PAM's a second home!

This place is an absolute nightmare. One person stood out above the rest and that was Ronnie the CNA. Holly the chief of nursing is a joke and only gives false sense of security but she doesn’t follow through. Most of the nurses are nice, some of the CNAs are helpful. There is absolutely no communication with staff. When you bring up concerns they are brushed under the rug. If you ask a question no one has the answer and they point blame to the next. They bring people in here to die here. Illegal things happen in your loved ones rooms, and the so called chief of nursing is aware. If your loved one is a respiratory patient and on oxygen or a ventilator I suggest you move them to another hospital and fast. I highly suggest if you have family in this hospital you need to be there at all times and keep a close eye on everything they do. They don’t actually care about the patients or the families, they care about the money. Even the staff have made comments that it’s all about the money to this place. Absolute disgrace to the medical community and the sick patients who need actual care and kindness. Ronnie keep doing what you are doing, you are an absolute angel and do not let these people change you. We need more people like you in the world!

Im a true believer that we are all captains of our own ship. Life is what you make of it. However some circumstances are influenced by others. I was really worried when the doctors at Carolina East suggested that my brother who had been on a ventilator for 16 days and critically ill be transferred to PAM in Rocky Mt NC. Reading reviews only scared me more. However nothing there was working and he was slowly dying. After much prayer and research we ultimately made the best decision of his life. Only after 4 days he is eating and walking. A total miracle. When we first got here I was a little skeptic. Everything seemed old school and I wasn’t sure if I had made the right decision. But within hours I felt so comfortable confident and at ease. These people are so nice and caring. Like every hospital they have some that aren’t as good as others but for the most part we have not had a problem yet. The doctors and therapy teams are absolutely amazing. This is the first facility that encourages family members participation. They provide a place to sleep with your love one and meals all at no cost to the family.A shower and private bathroom was in our room for our convenience. My brother has been sick for over a month and for the first time I am hopeful. Thank you PAM y’all have been awesome 👏 😊🥰

My brother received excellent care last month. He was only there for about two or three weeks but the care and overall service he got was exceptional. During dinner time, we were offered dinner (which was delicious). His Second Floor nurses not only attended to his physical care but addressed his overall well-being too. This was instrumental at how fast he got better. Thank y'all again for taking such good care of him.

From the minute the referral was made until the successful discharge, the PAM facility and staff exceeded my expectations. I have been a nurse for over thirty years and this has been the best experience I have ever seen/had at a facility. Patient placement at PAM was the right decision. I would highly recommend it!

Our loved one was at PAM in Sarasota for over a month in respiratory rehab. The entire team was excellent. They were professional and compassionate. The environment was clean and welcoming to visitors. By the time my parent was discharged we knew a lot of staff by name and had gotten to know some of the staff through their friendly conversation. I understand that every person's experience in this type of setting will be different, but my family highly recommends this facility based on our shared experiences there.

A friend of mine recomended PAM hospital for my son who was in ICU for a week and needed an additional treatment and monitoring of his condition. From his admittion to his discharge, our experience at PAM was excellent. Staff members are professional, kind and caring. It was easy to obtain info and speak with my son's doctors, nurces and case workers. Everybody showed a great deal of concern for the well being of my son, and we both felt that he was safe and in good hands there. Everyone, without exception, was helpful and treated us with understanding, compassion and respect. In addition, my son's room was always clean and sanitised. Thank you all for your hard work and dedication to your profession, patients and their families.

I was in a coma and on a ventilator due to Covid at Sarasota Memorial last year from January 2022 until the end of March. I was transferred to PAM, where I woke up and recovered for about a month. I felt very blessed to have those on the staff there taking care of me during that life-changing event. I have gone from deaths door and not being able to talk or walk to being fully functional and back at work for over a year now. Thanks again for doing a great job!

My daughter, Katherine, was in a severe car accident in our home state of Arkansas. She was airlifted to OCHSNER LSU and then after she was stable she was moved to PAM. She had a severe brain injur, both wrists were broken, her left knee messed up. She had a feedingtube and a traciautomy even though she could breathe on her own her oxygen levels had to be monitored. The staff was very kind compassionate to us. Constantly telling us not to give up hope. We were there from October of 2022 to January of 2023. I was able to stay with my daughter overnight. I can't possibly name everyone on staff that helped us. Cheri, was wonderful in helping getting all of my daughters paperwork for her transfer to TIRR in Houston. I didn't have to worry about filling out anything, she took care of everything. The physical therapists were wonderful. Even though she really couldn't do anything they worked her muscles just about every day. Julie, Jessica, & Betty y'all are just awesome. And the nurses and nurses aids. You ladies & gentleman have all my thanks and respect. Y'all helped me as much as you took care of Katherine. Wound care y'all were awesome. The doctors that came were kind and understanding. The respiratory ladies & gentleman were wonderful. The janitorial staff were excellent, her room was cleaned everyday . I just can't thank you all enough. Y'all explained things to us and I received a mini nursing education that helped on our next journey. We were in Houston till April of 2023. Now we are home and she is walking and talking. We are truly blessed with the care & kindness we received at this facility. I thank and love them all.

This place is HORRIBLE!!!! Half the nurses & staff are horrible & just there for a PAYCHECK not because they care and have a passion for what they do!!!!! My mother was at this facility and let me just say she's worse today than she was when she went in. Observed one nurse on fb, another watching a movie, and the other one texting on her phone. When did the state board of nursing start allowing these things to go on in a facility?? Room was dirty and half way cleaned!!!! Can't tell you how many times the call light was pressed and it took them 30-45 mins to come see what was going on. My mother fell twice out of the bed. Run if you are even considering this horrible place for your loved ones. I didn't even want to give them a 1 star because they deserve a negative !!!!!!!

This place is awful understaffed and most of of staff are under qualified they were a few good ones my husband was in diapers and I could not get him changed he got blisters on his lower half I started trying to get him changed at 6:15 went to the nurses station at 7:00 after call 4 times and finally at 7:45 they came to change him and treat his blisters which made me decide to post. I was taking him outside at the hospital which help his mind after a liver transplant and I could not get anyone to help me get him in a wheelchair here. I would not leave my dog here

This specialty hospital provides no privacy for patients in that there are cameras in all rooms. Add to that: patients' visiting families are treated in a way that might be similar to visiting a prisoner. The nurses are amazing they seem to really care but management needs to take some courses in public relations.

They should burn this place and build a real hospital with real doctors. If you enter this hospital on a holiday, you will be left to die.

The international clients WhatsApp line is the worst I have experienced within the business in Medellin. I was trying to get an appointment for an MRI and responses were just like automatic system that left you for hours with no responses. If you call nobody answers. When finally someone responds your multiple messages, leaves again with no answers. I never expected such a poor service from such a reputable institution. I started around 10:00 AM and at 2:48 PM still wasn't able to get any availability for the appointment. I told them never mind and they respond to that message at 5:35 PM! I understand if the people is to busy, but so that means they need to hire more people for the job.

I paid for an Antigen COVID test and haven't received the results from the examination even as they promised to send them within 3 hours to my email address and provide access on there website! On requests I couldn't reach anyone. Thats fraud and should be a 0 Star Rating!

Dr. Bartlett and his staff were timely, professional, and courteous. The procedure was performed flawlessly and he kept the mood positive and humorous.

Want to give a shout out to the nurses and staff on the 17th floor. I was briefly there this past Thursday to pick up my uncle Juan who received treatment. It felt very welcoming and calm on the floor. I am assuming that they were nurses (I apologize if they’re not) as they were sitting in the central location and also running around taking care of patients. When we asked for a wheelchairs, they processed the request with a smile. One of the folks even asked how my day was going and asked about the Buffalo Bills. I know this may sound small but it’s the little things that can make a difference. I had some anxiety coming to visit and was exhausted from my 8 hour drive to get here, but all that went away when I entered the 17th floor of this hospital.

The nurses, admin team, patient care team I have no complaints about. I dread thinking how the doctors here have handled my Dads care since the very beginning of his AML diagnosis in April. To begin when he was initially admitted, he received his chemo and was discharged with oral meds that he was told to keep taking upon going home. Doing some basic internet research we discovered he was taking the meds for 20 days longer than he was supposed to. We had a teledoc visit with his doctor, she described it as a “misscommunication” and that he indeed took it weeks longer than he was supposed to. Also during this period, he was doing outpatient in New Jersey and never had any follow up from his doctor until weeks after discharge his initial diagnosis. I do not think this is standard. He was discharged with no Oncology follow ups scheduled or anything. When we finally did talk to his Doctor she said to move to a clinical trial that had not been successful on anyone, nor was it even available. She gave him more chemo that did not make any progress towards treating his disease. To say she was hands off is an understatement. I personally messaged about clinical trials that had success with patients with similar diagnosis and subtypes. We were told to reach out to hospitals that had them while she continuously kept stringing my father along without any real plan besides what was already not working. I asked about transplants she said it could kill him, now they have no viable plan as the chemo and lung issues (related) are too much to overcome. I continue to seek treatments for him. In short, I feel like we experienced a 1980s treatment plan, with no creativity or critical thinking applied to treating my Dad. He is a number to (most) of the doctors. They also will scheduled him for blood transfusions once a week on outpatient when he got them daily in the hospital. Extremely frustrating. Their bedside manner was also… abysmal. Offered little hope this whole time and didnt give confidence to other centers that would have been more capable in treating him. I would not recommend MSKCC and wished he went somewhere like Mayo or MD Anderson. Maybe they can be helpful for more straightforward treatment plans, but my Dad has a very rare subtype that made it complicated. Several doctors come off as thinking they are the end all be all of what is known about my father’s disease. Newsflash - we’re all capable of reading studies that show efficacy of treatments but your heads are too far up your own you know wheres to listen to family. They also give off a vibe of thinking they are the Almighty as well and it breaks my heart to see how they spoke to him and how it affects his mood, graces, and personal outlook.

Going there for the first time, getting information and seeing the Doctor was fast and easy.

Went to see a doctor who claimed he had been trained at Johns Hopkins. His degrees were completely fake. Unreal. Avoid this hospital at all costs.

The worst service when I was going out from an ambulatory surgery. The person from collection apartments and invoice was rude and unprofessional. The service was very good.

Bad bad. The treatment is derogatory towards low-income people. If you want to receive good treatment, dress well and show that you are of good economic standing. And if the patients are "eps" things get worse.

I like how you treat me here at the clinic.

Good attention

I had a bad experience. It was very difficult to find someone friendly on the administrative staff. The ladies who schedule the imaging area are rude and not at all empathetic with the patient. How sad that staff training for quality customer service is left to the end.

Incompetent in the emergency area. 2 am on Monday, October 9, insolent and very unprofessional doctor. Dirt all over the areas "that people don't see." Are they doing emergency procedures in the same way?

Appalling! They don't have an emergency laboratory! I went at 3 in the morning to perform some emergency tests and there was no one in the laboratory! They kept me waiting for about 15 minutes… I had to go to another hospital because of the situation I was in!

Good afternoon!! My name is Taynara, and I was admitted to the unit on 11/3/2023... with severe headaches and vomiting, and was soon sent for exams and measurements. I was immediately taken to the ICU, with full medical supervision from Dr Giuliano and his emergency team. On the 4th (Saturday), after more tests, a tumor was seen requiring surgery, which was carried out last Thursday, 11/24. The surgery was a success, the entire tumor was removed without any further complications. Today Monday, 11/27, I left the ICU and am recovering in the room. I would first like to thank God for the entire process, and for the Dona Helena team... from the nurses in the emergency, ICU and maternity ward. Thank you for all the love and care, to everyone I had the pleasure of meeting, they made this struggle easier, they all brought me a lot of confidence and serenity. Thanks mainly to Dr Giuliano, for all his professionalism and clarity. By ICU Techniques morning and afternoon (Karina, Karen, Carol, Larissa, Paula, Ângela, Anderson, Roberto) Amanda for all the braids in her hair before and even after cutting her hair for the surgery she took great care to wash , hydrate and make everything feel lighter after surgery. Night technicians and on-call technicians, physiotherapists Rose, Milena and Najara. The maternity nurses, technicians, kitchen maids and the entire team!! Thank you very much, and may God bless each one of you greatly!!!

I've been with my grandmother at HDH twice in the last 30 days. The first time on October 21st in orthopedics, service provided by the doctor Barbara Miroski de Oliveira Pinto. The second appointment was today, a clinical appointment by doctor Murilo Melocra. In both appointments, the doctors were very clear, detailed and were excellent in their consultations. Even though consultations were carried out in the emergency room, the service was very complete and all possible information was provided. Service at reception and screening was also very good and courteous.

On Saturday, 02/08, my wife and I were admitted to the hospital through the emergency ward. We needed obstetric care. The reception was perfect. The nurses were amazing. The doctor who carried out the first assessment did well. But everything fell apart when they told us that there was NO doctor responsible for ultrasounds at the hospital, they were on alert. This specific doctor was supposed to be at the beach, as it took him over an hour to arrive. When he attended to my wife, he treated it as if it were nothing. A cretin. In a moment of total fragility. Irresponsibility on the part of the hospital for not having a team on duty (probably to save a few bucks) and the doctor is certainly from that new generation who only thinks about fundraising. Ultrasound care was vital for us, regardless of whether it changed the result or not. We just wanted an answer. The doctor (whose name I will refrain from mentioning here, but you will find out from the ombudsman) came in, gave the diagnosis and simply left. He left the rest to the other doctor who attended to us first (very well) and to the nurses. There's no point in having a hospital that prides itself on having whatever it is, with each professional identified by the color of their uniform and having emergency medical care that is rubbish. Ridiculous. Unfortunate for a hospital that was once a reference in the region. As for the doctor, I wish him no harm. I just want life to give him the same treatment he gives his patients. And I say this from the heart because there is time to change and be better.
