Ed Fraser Memorial Hospital

I needed an ER! I was taken by my daughter. Around 5:30 am had a GIBleed..by 7 am I checked in. Cordially greeted and check in with a caring staff and customer friendly. Assistance in triage was swift and customer friendly. (I was the only patient in the waiting room when I arrived) Nurses then proceeded to assist me, caring and customer friendly. The wait for ER doctor was slow. CT scan was ordered, done within 20 minutes, caring and customer friendly. Since I needed further diagnostic treatment, I was transferred to Jacksonville. The staff that early morning were caring professionals and customer friendly. In the last 4 months I have been in ER with sister, and daughter. I see the hospital making an effort to provide for our community the best care .Thank you staff of Ed Fraser !

This hospital is very slow with giving patients the medical attention they need. Yes, the female staff really do just sit around and gossip instead of helping the hospital or the patients. At the very least, this hospital needs to hire another doctor so that there is always two doctors in the E.R. AT ALL TIMES. And teach your receptionists and nurses how to behave professionally.

Im sure people know by now this hospital is "mostly"powered by nosy busybodies not qualified to do their jobs, rude,condescending despite their obvious ignorance and nothing will ever change because no admits anything and their is no accountability like there would be elsewhere. The things people do here would quickly get them fired in a reputable hospital,but not here

Was fixing to head to this hospital knowing it is a JOKE, its closest to me. But I will travel to the end of the Earth before I ever return to this place. All the statements are true that everyone is saying. Those Nurse's, up front well, but in the back, they just sit there talking about other patients!!!!!!!! About why they are there, Calling people dope heads, just there for med's. I tell you this much, back in my day if a nurse or CNA ever acted In such a matter your butt was fired!!!!! Maybe one day it will be about people vs money. Oh and those so called Dr.'s, you would be better off going to see a witch dr.!!!

Ended up in the ER at Ed Fraser due to breathing issues after UF Norths Internal Medical doctor released me from their hospital after 2 days claiming I had the flu and "anxiety" causing my breathing issues. I visited less than 6 hours from being released & saw Dr. Patricia White, DO. With some background information and her stethascope in hand, she quickly identified the issue further validated after exam. Diagnosed and treated for bilateral pneumonia. She explained the Chest Xray I had at the OTHER hospital the day prior may have not shown it due to being dehydrated (Which I was at the time) and further explained that'y why they can't just rely on an Xray for ruling out/identify the diagnosis. Dr. White, the ER physician from Ed Fraser Hospital knew what to do - she sent me home with a 3 prong approach which she indicated was textbook (heavy duty antibiotic, nebulizer treatments and steriods). Within 8 hours of her treatment, I was consistently ***caution "too much information" listed in next statement***coughing up thick mucous almost violently at times. And FINALLY getting relief and so very thankful. On the flip side, I nearly begged the Internal Med Dr at UF North to not release me as I had such trouble breathing, felt so much pain & further explained it's unusual for me to complain about this as I have dealt with asthma my entire life and knew this was much different. I am just shocked that the Internal Medical Dr at UF North was unable to detect the significant wheezing on his stethascope and so focused on just ruling it out as the Flu and anxiety. Luckily Dr White understood that asthma & the flu & the wheezing crackling sounds in my chest was cause enough to look further than "anxiety".... Dr Patrica White was my savior that night. She's simply stellar & clearly Ed Frasers star. My family and I are so thankful for her!
