Do not trust Dr. Jason Leibowitz. If he recommends surgery, run for your life. Not only did he perform an unnecessary surgery, but also botched it. After the surgery I went to Moffitt with reference to my follow-up treatment. The attending physician told me, "Sloan Kettering,MD Anderson and Moffitt are the only three cancer treatment centers recognized by the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Not one of these three institutions would have done surgery based on your biopsy." The quality of my care while at UM hospital was beyond reprehensible. When I was able to get out of bed and walk the hallways, every single room on my floor was requesting a nurse. Nobody was there to assist these poor patients. I witnessed a woman begging for someone to come and assist her family member. She was totally ignored. During my hospital stay, Dr Leibowitz came into my room for less than a total of thirty seconds during each visit. He ran into my room twice, showing two different student doctors what had been done to me. Each visit lasted literally seconds, he stated, "I have no time to answer any questions." Then he ran out of my room. During my stay I was only seen by student doctors who had no clue as to what they were doing. On three separate visits, students put the wrong size trach in my neck. After my released from ICU, I had friends with me around the clock. The day of my release, my nurse got into a screaming argument with his supervisor. He was very angry, then returned to my bedside to change the dressing on my trach. He did not wash his hands. Two days later I had a fever, my trach was infected and I was in the emergency room at Holy Cross Hospital, Fort Lauderdale.

Good service and health care and after two major surgeries I have only had an issue with one Doctor who was "an important man" and completely screwed his patients. Now I have fraudulent insurance claims processed and paid on my insurance and UHealth is not being very corporative in getting it fixed. I have to present a picture ID when I visit a Doctor but apparently according to UHealth there is another person with my exact name and apparently a valid ID using my benefits. First UHealth didnt believe me and didnt investigate but once my Insurance company weighed in they starting investigating. Who ever is doing this has access to all my medical record and personal information and I wish UHealth made me feel more comfortable with their "investigation". Seems their billing is all screwed up, got a bill for one amount but the billing system showed another both when you opened the PDF, it showed the amount I was billed. Also got an insurance claim run 12 of 2016 from an office visit 12 of 2015. Claim was processed and is in my insurance company site but is not on my claims processed screen and there is no thing on my UHealth bill that shows this was ever done. Their systems are a mess! Check your bill and remember the fraud line in Tallahassee if they are not responsive.

Finally I have time to write some reviews about my stay at this Hospital, after doing some research before my the open heart surgery about what hospital should I pick to perform the surgery, I’ve decided for UOM, and this is why, it is the best among others, the surgery went well and my days in IUC (intensive care unit) were very good, the personnel working there is the key of success of any health institution, I want to name some nurses that ultimately made my stay even better, because of their carefully , professionalism, and good dedication to me, let start with Frederick, he is a very experienced nurse that he really cares about how he is doing his job, very meticulous and precise, he took care of me like his own family, also Darkis a young nurse that did a clean and charmed job, she took a good care of me during the night shift, very dedicated and devoted to her job, there are more people I don’t want to leave out Alvaro, Joan, Lorenza, and others, sincerely there are very professional and they did an excellent job on my benefit, Thanks to all people in ICU.

El peor Hospital en atención al paciente en todo Miami, mi experiencia en los días que llevo aquí es horrible, casi ninguno de los del personal de enfermería hace su trabajo en tiempo.. ósea son pocas las veces que recibo mis medicamentos en el horario adecuado, Por su parte los médicos pasan literalmente medio minuto y nisiquiera son capases de explicar con calma los procedimientos que se le van hacer al paciente.... Yo por mi parte si este fuera el ultimo hospital de Miami, fuera a otra ciudad a atender mi salud y o la de mi familia

My mother was admitted for spinal surgery with Dr. Wang in May 2017. Let me first say Dr. Wang is an excellent surgeon and by no means do I blame him for the absolute incompetent medical staff (Nurses, PA, CNA) at the hospital. Her hospital room was filthy, the bathroom had feces son the toilet and dirt on all of the baseboards and shower. She was left without pain medication for three hours post surgery due to her not getting entered into their system on the 11Th floor. She was left in a chair for hours after trying to contact help via their room emergency call system that no one ever answers. Forget it if you dont speak Spanish or Haitian Creole, they speak in their own native language and ignore their patients. We indicated that my mother had a latex allergy now she has a horrible rash due to their negligence. I still come to tears when I think of how poorly my mother was treated at this horrible hospital of horrors. Find any other hospital this one was the absolute worst experience ever.

I just got out of surgery. Never again! The OR doctor was amazing, in recovery great. But the nurses? Especially administrating the pain medication. Its like they dont want to work. I expressed dilaudid doesnt work for me, yet they pump me up with the highest dose AND Im still in excruciating pain. Hours later pain is kicking in and they give me percocet 5 mg. And I had to get to the point of crying and screaming. ..do you think they give me the dosage of morphine Ive been getting for pain management at the hospital? No..toradol. and then Im in severe pain still so finally they went and have me morphine..2mg. Mind you, when I go for pain management I get 4mg, 8 if it intensifies. So disappointed, they dont listen as to why youve been on strong pain meds. They just tell you to relax. Relax how? I feel my insides were scraped off and when I take a breath in, the pain intensify. Go somewhere else. This isnt worth it. Its 4:00 and I CANT SLEEP FROM THE PAIN!!!!!!!
