I had an echocardiogram at the Larson Health Center (FL Radiology at Shell Point) this morning. I was pleased to see that the facility was modern and well kept. The staff was friendly and helpful. The EKG room was comfortable and modern with dim lighting and relaxing background music. It was a truly spa like environment. My tech, Malissa, was professional, pleasant, and efficient. From now on, I’ll drive the extra distance from the Cape to have medical testing done there.

I am currently in this facility. The day team seems to know what they’re doing. At night, it all falls apart . Meds are almost always late, and progress keeping up with, or getting ahead of pain is lost almost every night. They are understaffed. Right now I, and everyone in my wing is at least two hours behind schedule. I’m talking about people in severe pain. Continuing complaints to managers are met with platitudes or ignored. Regarding food, it’s ok, but most of the time I’m not getting what I ordered. Mediocre, at best. The facility is lovely but it’s lipstick on a pig. The PT program is excellent
