When I went to the waiting room I sat in there for 5 1/2 hrs. with 3 people having puke buckets for severe cases of the flu. I told the them about it & they said they couldn't do anything about it. (that was their exact words) Then when I did see someone it was a PA & he said I had a cold sore, wrong. We got into see the CEO of the hospital & told her the lot longer story, my $4,000+ dollar bill was forgiven. So Tampa can improve them all they want but if want good health care go somewhere else. Besides TVH can't do anything to your heart, all they can do is stabilize you & send you to another hospital, if you can make it!

If you want to let TVH work on you in a case like this go ahead. I've had to many people tell me TVH isn't the best place to be in an emergency. Leesburg I was told was the 5th best heart hospital in FL. TVH isn't even mentioned, I like life to much. TVH has lost a lot of Drs. Again just my opinion!

When I first moved here I asked people about TVH that lived here 10 to 20 yrs. & most of them said it was just SO-SO. They might be able to put a stent in or a cauterization, but the real heart issues are actual heart surgery. Someone told me they do 5,000 stents a yr. so like most Dr. that only work out of 1 hospital will want to do stents before you actually have open heart. Again I'm only hearing old residents & they say go to Leesburg or Ocala for heart surgery.

OhioBuckeye, I just want to point out that this thread is about a survey which will be sent by TVH - The Villages Health, which provides services by primary care physicians.
All of your observations are about TVRH - The Villages Regional Hospital.
These two businesses are separate and have different ownership, administration and staff.
