In an emergency, you might be tempted to go to their ER. Do not, find a better hospital. Ive been there twice, once to get rabies shots, once I brought my child in with stomach pain as it was the closest hospital... The nurse gave us the wrong rabies schedule, and told us not to come back for second, third and fourth shots. After asking the doctor and other nurses (who have terrible attitude, except for one nice Philippino lady), finally figured out the the schedule was wrong. They REALLY care about getting your insurance info... My child WAS ADMITED to ER with terrible stomach pain, after 40 minutes of waiting to see the doctor and complete disregard from staff, they informed us that they had no pediatric doctor and if we wanted to they would arrange transportation to another hospital for which they would bill us, we would have to wait another 30 minutes.... I grabbed my kid and we jetted to Methodist hospital... we were treated very kindly and noone approached us with insurance questions until they have treated our child.... In short, uncaring, unprofessional staff, tons of mistakes. Admited a child without a proper doctor on board.

This hospital is close by to where I live so I choose it for convenience, BUT I would prefer this over C.I Hospital, Maimonides, or whatever else crap hospital there is out there. I received proper treatment here many a times due to my chronic asthma and have never been disappointed. The wait averages depending on the time of day you go 8am is a change of shift, 7-8 pm I believe is another change of shift so they take longer. I like the new fast track they installed instead of everyone having to be cramped up in one place for emergencies. Dr. Vicktor and Shistak, god I know Im butchering their names xD are wonderful doctors!!!!! I also had to be admitted once for my gallbladder removal. Everything went well nurses were dolls and I actually met a nurse who so happened to be my kindergarten best friends brother, what are the odds of that??? Anyway you do have some there who are actually grouchy AF but thats in every hospital (maybe they should pick a different profession) but I dont allow it to prevent me from receiving care from this place. Overall I give it 4 stars =)

By far the worst hospital. I dont know if this even classifies as a hospital. The attending nurses are always talking on their phone. Nurses have no idea what they are doing with the patient. My mother has been here for two days and they now ask if she is diabetic. When I specifically told them when she was admitted into the ER that she was diabetic. Nurses have their own groups. The whites, the blacks and the Asians. Im from Spanish decent and neither the whites nor the blacks paid any attention to my asking for info of where my mother was when I came back for the second day. This is disgraceful. This establishment should be shut down.

Poorly run facility with staff that treat patients like criminals for coming to the ER. Hippocratic oath seems to go out the window as soon as they get a job here based on their behavior. Wouldnt send someone here unless i wished them ill. Go anywhere but here. Staff likes to sit around and gossip instead of seeing patients, keeping them waiting for hours at a time only to send them home with nothing to show for their wait except for an insurance charge and discharge papers. The saving grace of this facility was a nightingale in red nurse asgarova who was absolutely amazing in her bedside manner and responsiveness to the patients needs.

I was in the hospital for 3 days one of the nurses probably worked for the devil and got fired, now she works here. If your asleep or in the bathroom when they bring food you could starve because they dont leave it. My own doctor said that he DID NOT recommend me to stay in the hospital since my results were negative. I was told by another doctor that they want to keep me for observation and they informed my doctor I asked them to call him so i can speak to them. YEA SO THEY CAN CHARGE $6000 ON MY INSURANCE AND $1200 FOR ME. Go to any other hospital. They also do not what it means doctor patient confidentiality.

My parents were there twice in 14 months - between Feb 2015 and April of 2016. I have to say that the service got worse compare with the first time. The experience we had last February(2/15) was not as bad, but this time it was terrible. The doctors dont have bedside manner. No one else treated you with the respect you deserve except two ladies by the name of Ms. Lieberman and Ms. Natalie. They talk to you like youre a criminal. They renovated E.R. section, but it didnt look any good. I am surprised that they are affiliated with NY Presbyterian Hospital which is a fantastic hospital. This is a terrible hospital

This is the worst hospital Ive been to. I slipped, hit my head, passed out and vomited. I visited an urgent care and they referred me to this hellhole hospital for a CT scan. The physician decided instead that I had gastritis (?!?!), and discharged me. I visited another hospital the next day and they confirmed that, OBVIOUSLY, I had a concussion, which has left me with symptoms for the last six weeks. The hospital is filthy, the staff is rude, they dont care about your health, and they will submit fraudulent claims to your insurance company.

I never write reviews for anything even if its bad service. This hospital is the worst hospital! i came here at 4 am and they kept me the whole day next day. no one came to check on me when the doctor needed a bed he came telling me i can go home and cancelled doing my sonogram. he has no clue what i came in for and i kept asking if i can eat or drink they didnt allow me to do anything and didnt care and sent me home. dont ever go to this hospital. The worst there is!

If I could give negative stars to this, I Would. Im in here right now and my mom is getting surgery; the procedure was supposed to take 1-1:30 hours and its been about 5 hours. The nurses are very rude every time I ask whats going to, one of them yelled at me, and none of them wants to give me proper information about whats going to. Most of the nurses are walking around talking on their cellphones or arguing in the hallway. THIS PLACE SHOULD BE CLOSED.

My family member was treated in this hospital. The staff were fair. Unfortunately, the rounds were unstructured and the rooms were in desperate need of upgrades. The window had tape covered in mold. Yak. If you need quick service - come here, but only for short term treatment.

Dr. Ftiha left my 84 yr old father sitting in the emergency for a full day but he "advised" he stay overnight. If youre so worried, why is he in the ER for 24 hrs and never came down to see him even once? Felt like we were being sold a computer w/ extended warranty.
