AdventHealth North Pinellas

We received excellent care at Advent. The staff never rushes or makes you feel like you are a bother. They treated us and our father (who was the patient) like family. Treating people like “people that matter” is an important part of the healing process. We could not be more grateful. Thank you!

I have very mixed feelings. I started at the Advent ER on US19, everyone was wonderful! I have no complaints with my treatment there. They treated me for having a stroke & transferred me to Advent North Pinellas. The nursing staff, for the most part, were very nice & I have no real complaints. Dr. McCoy was wonderful!! I cannot say enough good about him. Sincere, kind & caring, listened & worked to find out what was wrong. I'd give more than 5 stars for him if I could. The neurologists, on the other hand, were horrible. They didn't listen, very dismissive, most of their notes were inaccurate, & wrote me off as a "conversion case", because I didn't fit in their mold, & they couldn't figure it out. I would give 0 stars if I could. After visiting other doctors upon my release, there are other medical issues along with TIA's I'm being treated for.

My surgery was cancelled due to a missing cardiac release. I was all prepared for the surgery and had to get dressed. I was upset and crying. All the nurses and assistants were comforting and understanding. I went to the lobby to call for a ride home. Then about 5 people opened the big doors to the lobby with smiles on their faces, arms open and said they received my release! I will NEVER forget this as a very special moment. I was surrounded by so much love and understanding it made me cry happy tears. I have no family and often feel so alone. These people gave me so very much. I could never thank them enough. BTW, surgery went well. Thank you to all these great people.

My adventure started at the free-standing advent health ER on US HWY 19. The staff there was amazing. I went there for upper right abdominal pain. After testing and ultra sounds it turned out my gallbladder was the culprit. As a pretty healthy 22 year old this was a shock, I thought maybe I was being dramatic, and I almost opted into being discharged. But my body was telling me something was wrong, so I chose to be transferred to advent health North Pinellas. Upon arrival I was greeted by my first nurse, Lorin. She was on the 8th floor with me. I immediately felt a sense of comfort from her, as I was scared of what was coming for me. I only had Lorin for a couple hours that night before my night nurse Chris came in. Chris was my nurse for two nights, and he offered me support and comfort during a scary time for me. I was alone during the night as my family went home, but Chris always made me feel like I was safe there. When I found out I needed to have my gallbladder removed, it was a pretty shocking bit of news to receive. Chris talked me through what happened when he got his gallbladder removed, and gave me some peace of mind. The next day, I was still on the 8th floor and my nurse was Becca. Becca was so sweet, caring, and showed me empathy during a very scary time. She was gentle and made sure I was ok before doing anything else. She even gave me a hug when her shift ended and she was leaving me. I had Lorin as my nurse on the day of my surgery. She was able to get me some medicine to help me calm down and she truly cared about me. She was so thoughtful and kind. She even checked on me after surgery when I got moved to the 7th floor. I had two nurses on the 7th floor, Liz and Roz. They were both amazing and I can’t say enough good things about them. They helped me after my surgery and took great care of me. I can’t get over how amazing the staff was here, from the housekeeping, to the transporters, to the techs, to the nurses, to the doctors. The tech on the 8th floor, Nikki she was so sweet and amazing too! There were a couple other techs , i don’t remember their names but they were great. Even the radiologist looked out for me during my CT scan and helped me advocate for myself! I don’t remember her name but she was so nice! I felt supported and helped by every single one of them. This was a very scary experience for me as a young person who had never even been admitted into a hospital before and now I was having to have surgery. I wish I could personally thank and hug every single person that took care of me during my stay from 2/22/23-2/25/23 on the 8th floor and the 7th floor. And to the surgeon, Dr. Frattini and the surgical staff including the pre-op and post-op staff, I was on a lot of medication so I do not remember everything but I do remember you guys being kind and careful. Dr. Frattini did a great job and treated me as if he had known me forever. He was personable and caring. This whole experience was something I never imagined myself going through, especially not at this point in my life. It can feel scary and lonely but the staff here at advent health never made me feel scared or alone. I felt a sense of comfort and security here. Thank you!
