Hi,
My kids will be attending USF and I'm researching hospitals and I have found several to be rated terribly. I did read the one in Carrollwood was good but has now changed names and is terrible.
Can anyone shed light on this? I'd like to have print a list of doctors and hospitals that are excellent.
Thank you in advance-
I read St. Joseph, Tampa General- rated D

Can you give a list of specialists you would like? Tampa General has the better reputation.

Do you have any specific condition/upcoming surgery in mind? We have experience with Tampa General, St. Joseph (two locations), Wesley Chapel Hospital, hospital in Zephyrhills and hospital right next to USF (used to be University Community Hospital). Honestly all are pretty much the same. As for doctors, it's really depends on your insurance and specialty of the doctor.
USF has onsite clinic for students and there are some great doctors working there too (more like family doctors).

My mother stayed at Tampa General Hospital in 2015 for just over 2 weeks for an emergency neurosurgery (brain tumor removal) and in-patient rehabilitation. I was with her 24x7 for about 7 days/nights. We were AMAZED at the level of care she received from every single level of staff, from her neurosurgeon and oncologist to the housekeeping staff who cleaned her rooms.

Compared to a stay several years ago at Lakeland Regional Medical Center or whatever it's called now) during which the staff literally couldn't care less, I would not hesitate to recommend TGH.

In both instances, she was covered primarily by Medicare, secondarily by United Healthcare (supplement).
