When 93-year-old Gilbert Berg's cardiac defibrillator activated twice in one evening, his daughter Kathleen knew he needed immediate medical attention. Following guidance from his cardiologist, Dr. David Bello, the family brought him to HCA Florida UCF Lake Nona Hospital.
Gilbert lives with ventricular tachycardia (V-Tach), a serious heart rhythm disorder. Kathleen was impressed by how quickly her father received care. By the time she returned from parking the car, Gilbert had already been evaluated, started on an IV and had lab work underway.
Throughout his hospital stay, Gilbert's family praised the compassionate care he received. "Everyone was smiling and pleasant, and we felt like we were the only patients being cared for," said his daughter, Ginny. "My dad received great care."
A nurse for more than 40 years, Ginny added, "This is the best hospital stay we've had anywhere."
