About Eglin AFB Hospital
Eglin AFB Hospital provides medical care to base ID holders. Patients report a range of experiences, with some noting past subpar service while others have consistently received good care over many years. The hospital has specialties including OB, surgery, and radiology. Patients praise the knowledge and kindness of the nurses and doctors, particularly Dr. Marshall and Dr. Riggs. Dr. Riggs is highlighted for his patient approach and ability to help patients with anxiety. Patients also appreciate the empathy and attentiveness of support staff, including technicians who perform blood draws and ultrasounds. While some negative reviews exist, those who have recently visited report positive experiences and find the care to be better than off base.
I haven't visited this hospital in a while for treatment because the service used to be subpar. But my latest OB appt was seemless and very good. The nurses are nice and knowledgeable. The Dr. Maj Marshall really takes her time explaining things to the patient. She doesn't discount how we feel. She understands and offers solutions. I love that.
I have seen doctors on base here at Eglin for over 20 years. I have had 2 Total Knee Replacements. I get my annual Mammograms and I've had multiple visits to the ER over the years. I have always been happy with the care I've received. I feel like I receive better care than off base. I'd recommend Eglin AFB Medical clinic and hospital to anyone who I is a base i.d. holder!

And the lady who was with him who was learning was the kindest person and grabbed me tissues and genuinely looked like she felt for me when I started crying during my appointment (I have anxiety I just cry it had nothing to do with them). Doctors I've had in the past have scared me from getting medical treatment and Dr.riggs has put me at ease with everything. I also want to thank the lady who took my blood later that day, I got a little anxious and she talked to me about my hair as she did what she needed to do to try...read full review
