Aventura Hospital And Medical Center: "I DO NOT recommend this hospital for cardiac procedures. My friend went there with chest pain. They said he needed surgery and was too sick to return to a world class hospital in Toronto. They then kept him for 5 days until they could dig up an old surgeon from Ft Lauderdale; operated for 7 hours and he died the next day. uS News gives this hospital a 17% rating. All his friends believe they just kept him since he had lots of insurance. This hospital isn’t equipped for severe heart surgery and recovery. Go elsewhere. " - Jacob

THEN THAT MONDAY HE WENT INTO 3 PROCEDURE (CARDIAC CATH, ABLATION AND DIALYSIS) ATLEAST WE KNOW WHY HE NEED THE ABLATION...after the procedure they transfer him to 7 floor telemetry..which the nurse is better than floor 8. but still barely nurse knows things now...they have the title but the they dont have to knowledge HE was discharge the day before his

Aventura Hospital And Medical Center: "To Whom it may concern !
My name is Agnes Goldberg.
I have been coming regularly in to Aventura Hospital since 2014 November/02.
I have been in the emergency room and stayed admitted over 30 times. I have the urge to tell you a quick story that happened to me in between July 25th 2015 and August 04th 2015. I came in the Aventura Hospital Emergency room scared and frightened crying not able to walk or control my muscles on July 25/2015. It came out I had a Dilantin toxicity and the brain didn't send signals to the muscles and nerves. And that I probably not going to walk or gain control over my muscles. I coul have lost my cool but I didn't. And this is the reason behind it his emai. First of all this is not my first language and if my writing sounds a little strange it's because I am Hungarian and my English is just off. Way off.
On that day I got a nurse name Kay Charles. Since then I haven't seen her till just an hour ago and I forgot her name. But it think you should know of what a wonderful selection of employees you do have. Not just that she did everything in her power to make sure I got everything I needed so I can focus on the emotions and just make some kind of sense out of it. Everyone was beyond wonderful and kind and understanding and just being there for one human being out of there heart. The staff in radiology Xylyn Dale,and Jonathan and George and Lynn all the nurses and doctors who were there was just kind be and wonderful. But this one nurse Kay Charles was the best nurse and a true friend to a stranger. She stayed with me even her shift was over. She stayed with me till my fiancé got there so I don't have to stay alone. I am a praying woman. I don't bother nobody by asking questions about what they believe. I had no idea she was a praying woman till she heard me praying then joined me with her prayers. I swear to you I was lifted to a better place on that moment. I am truly blessed and grateful that you have an incredible nurse and a wonderful human being in your staff like Kay Charles is.
After I had to go upstairs to the sixth floor to stroke unit I was provided the best doctors and nurses. All my needs medically and hygienicly was met beyond better then my expectations. I want to say thank you. Thank you for always making sure I will feel better and hopeful and happier. Thank you for having wonderful people like Kay on your team. May you always have an angel by your side. Because you definitely provided my human Angels. Thank you.
With sincerity and gratitude.
Agnes Goldberg.
