TV Hospital is currently still holding a one star CMS rating.

The closest hospital with an A rating is AdventHealth/Waterman, in Tavares, which is 45 minutes from my home near Buena Vista and 466A. It might be closer for you. After all, if you live South of the Border in the brand new homes, you may be a half hour or more from our local hospital. I had a hip replaced at AdventHealth/Waterman and was very pleased. It’s beautiful, and they work harder to avoid infections than does our local hospital. If your primary care doctor is on staff there, he or she can easily refer you to the specialists not only there but else where in the huge AdventHealth system, including AdventHealth/Orlando, the top-rated hospital in the state. I have to have a major surgery don’t next month using the DaVinci Robot, and it will be done at the AdventHealth/Winter Park hospital because the specialist there does about five of those specific surgeries a week and is extremely good at it. I wish it were closer, but so it goes.
