Fort Walton Beach Medical Center

I recently suffered a pulmonary embolism and was taken to the FWBMC ER by ambulance. I was in the ER then the ICU for a total of 5 days, the staff, nurses and doctors were top notch across the board! Professional and engaging, great empathy and bedside manner. Victoria in the ER was fantastic, has an excellent way of calming and keeping you positive in a dangerous situation. The ICU staff were equally talented, Troy, Dan, Nancy, Amy etc.... all EXCELLENT assets to the hospital. 10 Stars!! Well done and thank you for saving my life BTW :)

I recently had surgery at Fort Walton hospital . The surgical staff was great and made me feel very comfortable. The nursing staff was spot on all the time. Day and night staff were personable, pleasant and very helpful. I actually got some rest! Amanda is doing a great job with her staff. I couldn't be more satisfied with my stay there.

All staff was polite. I was trying to visit a loved one and staff walked me to where I needed to go instead of pointing. I cannot say how much I appreciate it. Keep it up FWBMC.

Around 5:30 am I had to come to Fort Walton Beach Medical Center to be treated for a very bad sinus infection before making our trip back home to Springfield, Illinois. The staff on duty at that time in the morning were so very nice helpful. I wanted to let them know that I’m feeling better and want to thank them very very much for making my day and for being so very kind to my husband and me. Pam Slater

As I write this I have been on hold for 45 minutes after calling the main # here, 862-1111. Message is "please continue to hold and someone will be with you momentarily." 45+ MINUTES!!!! To the main #!!! How can management allow this???? That's not to mention the message I left last week and never got a return call, nor the minutes I was on hold this morning, then they hung up on me!! Most fustrating. Close to an hour now & still no answer. I am tempted to hold and see how long before I get an answer, if ever. But no, at my limit.
Really seems as if switchboard is lazy or inept and just not picking up calls. Or maybe the phone system needs to be replaced. Over an hour now......
