Flagler Hospital: "Worst hospital and ER in a 200 mile radius. ED was disgusting, 3hr wait to just gwt triage. Fast tacked closed ,probably due to lack of funding. Executives worry more about looks of hospital, then actually quality of care given to patients. MVA patient from 8-8-22 do better with a 5 hrs wait time. Prioritize patients, ie guy who's eyes had a chemical burk waited 6 to even be seen.." - Minorican

Flagler Hospital: "Worse ER anywhere. We were thrown out and denied treatment. The RN told us to leave and go home NOW! No explanation at all. I brought my husband there hrs after he was discharged with Sepsis, which is fatal if not treated ASAP. They violated the EMTALA LAW. She was rude, nasty, heartless & loud. The ER was empty so what was her problem? She probably threw others that night. I complained later on but all I got was empty apologies. I want to know who she is and why this happened. Even the CEO was no help in contacting me. Do not go here if you want to live!" - Vera

Flagler Hospital: "Words cannot explain the exemplary care I received, in the busy ER, by Dr. Kari Snyder and her lead RN last night. Everyone was kind, light hearted... Yet serious, comforting... yet cognitive of the severity of my injury. My mother, in all her years, says she has not received such kind and thorough care in her life. I want to, personally, say thank you to Doctor Snyder and her team. Thank you for making me feel like I was dealing with a caring friend and a concerned medical staff, all at the same time.
