Arrived by ambulance which took about 5 minutes to arrive at our house after a fall had 4 of the nicest men carefully load me into ambulance and take me to the Villages Hospital. arrived about 3:30 pm. went right to a room in the emergency room very soon I had triage and later a cat scan and a exray which showed a broken collar bone treated such and was released and on the way home by 9:30 pm. We really had the greatest of care by really wonderful group of people. I really could not have had better care anywhere else.

Glad you were well taken care of. Hope you heal quickly and do try to be careful and not fall again.

Glad you are ok and glad you had a good experience.
We had a fabulous experience with the Villages hospital two times. Excellent care from clerical staff, nurses, doctors. We are very impressed
with the care here.

Glad you received service. A friend of mine was there today. After many hours of waiting she went home because she was too sick and exhausted to sit any longer. She has been seen and treated by her doctor for the past two weeks. After lab tests the doctor told her he wanted her in the hospital and sent her to The Villages Hospital ER. Something is wrong with this picture.

As a Villages Hospital nurse, let me say how much I appreciate the positive postings here. I know everything does not always go as well sometimes, but I can say that the vast majority of doctors and nurses are doing their level best to give you excellent care. Personally, I absolutely love our patients and think you all are a wonderful bunch of folks. It amazes me sometimes that sick or hurt people can be so patient and understanding towards us. Thank you for being so good to us!

I had my experience with The Villages Hospital last month. I was taken by ambulance for cardiac problems and could not have received quicker and better care. I ended up being a "guest" for several days. My only complaint was that the discharge process takes forever!
Wonderful, wonderful people on staff there!

I had major surgery there and excellent care and am so grateful that we have a good hospital right here without having to travel.

I had no problem with discharge, my surgeon came in early in the morning, signed the discharge papers and I was out the door pronto........... Your delay may have been the doctor signing your release, not necessarily the hospital staff.
