Bayfront Health - St Petersburg

The care I received here was excellent. The staff was very professional, caring and nice. The doctors were very thorough. My surgery went perfectly. I noticed that Bayfront has some negative reviews but all my and my husband's experiences here have been great. They have lots of excellent physicians on staff and their residency physicians are exceptional.

This is a wonderful hospital. Not sure why so many nasty comments.. it’s a hospital, not a luxury vacation resort people!! I’ve had two surgery’s here and everything turned out perfect! The staff are very nice and caring.. the Doctors are thorough and have a great bedside manner! THANK YOU DR JONES!!!

The doctors and nursing staff were awful. I was placed in a corner room without a call button unable to get out of bed in a cervical collar and left for hours without treatment. No one came to check on me. I thought they had totally forgotten about me. I never saw the same doctor twice and on my wristband under Dr. it said miscellaneous. No one would tell me what was going on. They acted like they did not believe me regarding my pain and numbness to my legs, neck, shoulders & arms after a car accident. I have never been treated so badly in my life ever. I was given an MRI in a mobile home. They said they were taking me for an MRI & it was a CAT scan. I heard the nurses and doctors laughing out in the hallway and could not get anyone’s attention or help in anyway. These people should not be allowed to practice medicine.

You would not want the bathroom floor in your home, and housekeeping came in and dusted the top of the light? That is all they did. I am not exaggerating. No dinner. After three calls from the nurses which ended with, "We sent a dinner up, but it dissapeared," the nurse nuked a frozen dinner. I came in with a viral infection which affected my breathing so I was able to observe much more than someone in pain or after surgery. I am 70 years old and have had experience with Sarasota Memorial, Venice Regional Health, and Manatee Memorial over the last ten years, and this is the worst of the lot. So I will be looking for another hospital in St. Petersburg instead of this level one this and level two that. It appears it is spending too much on tech and not enough on basics.

Nurses Diane, Bobbie, Kelsey and Susan from the the Ante-partum and Mother Baby floors respectively are some of the most friendly, knowledgeable and compassionate nurses I have ever encountered. Their dedication and passion for the job was always evident and they make it a duty to ensure you are comfortable and taken care of. So happy to have met you all during my short stint there.
