I wish I could give this hospital 0 stars. Do not go here unless you have a death wish. The nursing staff are disgusting. My grandfather who has dementia went into the hospital for COVID and due to neglect of the staff he fell and broke his hip, needing emergency surgery. We were not even alerted that he fell, my grandfather with dementia was the one that told us. The staff is rude, when you need them they don’t come for hours. I blame this hospital for his decline.

What was suppose to be a happy memorable moment for me and my wife’s first born turned out to be one of the most stressful, unpleasant experiences ever!!! Disrespectful staff and you pretty much on your own in that hospital. Good luck getting any sort of help there. I DO NOT RECOMMEND! I REPEAT I DO NOT RECOMMEND!! Even if you live a block away from there avoid going there!!

My daughter had surgery last week. This is because of the choice of surgeon. This hospital is AWFUL. 6 nurses to 26 post operative patients. Because they ordered the wrong hardware for her surgery, the surgeon was incensed and had to see which hospital he could get his needs from and so instead of a 7AM surgery her surgery didn't start until after 12:35PM. As a nursing mother the delay meant dehydration which no one was concerned with. Thankfully my daughter is herself a healthcare professional and had to ask for IV hydration. And even with this there were errors. No bleeding of the line, and when the bag was done she had to close the tube. This is a TRAVESTY!!! This hospital is a DANGER to anyone that goes there!!

GIRLS, DON’T GO TO THIS HOSPITAL if you’re expecting a baby! My experience of giving a birth and staying after at this hospital was a nightmare! I had a really complicated delivery and had to stay 5 days. 1. Nurses are so rude, they don’t response when you need them. Also you will share the room with other woman and your partner can’t stay with you. 2. Food wasn’t good (jewish kitchen) 3. When they discharged us the took off those baby blue/pink blanket and the hat. I wanted keep them, but they didn’t allow us to take them🤷🏻‍♀️ (it was a waaay before the pandemic in 2018) THEY DON’T GIVE YOU EVEN A DIAPER!

I don’t think it’s normal for a patient to have to beg to get medication for pain they feel especially after having major abdominal surgery. It’s very sad I’ve been her for a few days and I started to have abdominal pain after my surgery and I keep begging my nurse to give me medication to ease the pain and I’m answered with “no I can’t because your able to walk. Walk the pain away” WHAT?!? I need stronger pain medication to lessen the pain to be able to walk more . Not just because you saw me take 2 step’s automatically makes me cured. Worse part of all was that I had to suffer for over 2.5 hrs crying and screaming for my nurse to come before she finally did and she still refused to give me medication just because “she didn’t really think I was in that much pain”

Honestly the one star is for the nursing staff here. They are kind and helpful. Highly over worked due to short staff but they manage. That said, medical treatment here is absolutely horrendous! My grandmother had different doctors give her different directions for the same procedure in the last few days. 90% of the time no one knows the answers to your questions. Seems like charts are hardly updated and absolutely NOONE COMMUNICATES! Would I recommend anyone come here absolutely not!

My husband was brought to this hospital by an ambulance when he had a medical emergency while visiting New York City. I didn't know anything about the hospital, and the Google showed a pretty low review rating & that got me worried. But all the medical staff in ER were very professional, competent, and caring. I was so impressed! Then he was moved to the ICU & the nurses who took care of him were excellent. The doctors were willing to take the time to talk to me & explain the treatment plans. Over all, my husband couldn't have received better care else where - including some of the fancy hospitals in Los Angeles area where we live. I can't pronounce the name of the hospital, but the first class care we received as a patient and a family member will stay with me forever. Thank you!!!

For the love of your family and sake, DO NOT BRING YOUR LOVED ONES HERE. This hospital has the most non-reliant staff, everyone here is clueless. The doctors come in once every 3 hours to peek in then leave. They don’t do NOTHING. The nurses have the most sarcastic/attitude i’ve ever seen nurses have. My grandmother has been waiting HOURS for a bedside portable potty, she is in pain while waiting God knows how long more. They say they are “ordering” the appliance/potty and it never shows up. It’s just a way to Milk your insurance. Everything body here just walks around aimlessly, and if their not walking.. doing nothing…, they’re eating snacks like everything is fine. The nurse button does not work. Nurses never come, they must be called from the front desk by a family member to somewhat get their attention. Not even then, do they come immediately. Why have so many nurses if they’re all not going to do their job! My family member was admitted to a room due to failures within her procedure. She developed an infection. The food here is awful! You’re better off bringing your own food for your family member. The blankets/pillows are not comfortable one bit. The pillows are plastic and the blankets are as rough as a carpet. Please, do not bring your family here if you want them to be treated with care. 0 stars!

October 17th, 2022: My grandmother has been in the ER since 7:30 a.m. and it's now 5:43pm &still in the ER. There are no beds. So they say. 3 patients have come in after us and have been moved to a bed in a room before us. They seemed fine. My grandma is coughing and wheezing, barely breathing, with a bunch of health problems along with this and no one has shown up. She's wet the sheets and we're told that a nurse would come to change them. No one. Their patient bathroom is completely filthy. And everyone is standing around and talking, no work is being done. Disgusting Update: she didn't get a bed until a little past 10p.m.🙄

I can’t give less then a star or I would have , my dad went here on emergency for a bowel obstruction on March 7th 2022, he was dead on March 19th 2022. The care here from doctors is terrible , and before his death his cell phone was stolen , they were removing fluids from his stomach for almost 2 weeks , when they should’ve done an emergency surgical procedure , my father is dead cause of there incompetence, he was fine a week before and talking to me , the doctors here do not care !!! They care about there paycheck and so does the hospital administration, I remember a time when doctors actually did care and would go above all means to save a life , my dad was 65 and had more years to share with us . I don’t recommend this hospital if you want to live.

To long of a wait for diagnosis. Dirty exam areas. Small medicine cup was on bed frame. Doctor drop a ear exam cap on floor and left it there. If someone slips on it can cause injury. Careless people. Plus they(the nurses )bump into you and don't say sorry. Unprofessionals

I also forgot to write, that there are totally sick people, just walked to my room. Only God knows maybe he has COVID-19 or on drugs. I also screamed & yelled at him, not to come in. The nurses don't do anything. Imagine you go to the hospital with one problem, but going back home with all of them. Please choose the right hospital. Search a lot on Google & Please read the reviews. Be safe. Шабат шалом. Мир на всей земле

If I could give negative 5 stars I would. They are making my grandma suffer and keep messing up simple procedures to then repeat them and milk her insurance. They are slowly killing her. We had no choice because this is her zone hospital. This hospital’s case workers are very helpful but the doctors and surgeons are very incompetent!!!!!

Avoid Maimonides Hospital for Childbirth!! My wife recently gave birth to our child at Maimonides Hospital, and our experience compelled me to share a word of caution. If aspects like hygiene, comfort, and attentive care are important to you, I strongly suggest looking for alternatives to this hospital. Our pregnancy journey was largely guided by the midwives at the Boro Park OB/GYN facilities in Williamsburg. They informed us that the birth would take place at Maimonides. Despite the hospital's poor reviews, we proceeded because other hospitals didn't have better ratings. We deeply regret that decision now!! Our troubles began with my wife developing a high fever after a catheter was inserted to monitor her contractions. When she started feeling unwell and shivering, the staff initially dismissed her symptoms, suggesting she was fabricating them. It was only after she nearly lost consciousness, about 45 minutes later, that they took action to lower her temperature with medication. Unfortunately, by then, it was too late to continue the natural birth process, and a C-section had to be performed to prevent any harm to our baby. The staff mentioned that the fever could have been caused by uterine bacteria, but given our three-day experience with their subpar hygiene practices, I have strong doubts. After the traumatic event, we faced additional issues. We took a private room for my wife's recovery, but the facilities were inadequate. The bathroom was in a terrible state, with water dripping from the ceiling and a used bar of soap in the shower. The room was only 63° Fahrenheit in December, which resulted in my wife getting a fever again. Despite our constant complaints, the staff did not adjust the heating for 24 hours. They eventually informed us that they used a central heating system and could not control the temperature in individual rooms. The nurses had to layer my wife with seven blankets and a winter jacket to ward off the cold. For this unpleasant experience, we were charged $1,050 for the private room!! Their customer care team proved equally disappointing, showing little interest in addressing our complaints. This hospital's handling of our situation was utterly disgraceful, and I hope sharing our experience will help others avoid a similar mistake.

Unprofessional staff. Doctors don't care care about the patients and just the patient discharged as quickly as possible without completing needed tests and procedures. If you care about your loved ones and want them to live long then do not bring them to this place. Stay as far away from this hospital as you can.

When I gave birth there I asked the nurse to teach me how to breastfeed my baby. She sat in her desk outside my room and directed me from there what to do. She didn't watch me or told me what I was doing wrong. I left the hospital still not knowing how to breastfeed and this hospital PRAISES themselves as a breast feeding hospital. My baby even had one of those "I am a breastfed baby" signs. Such a lie. This same nurse also was no help for me for many others things. Only the blonde night nurse was a help for me.

I wish I can rate them a zero! The ER is horrible beginning with registration and triage. Very disorganized and the ER indoors is a HOT MESS! Stop buying stadiums and fix your ER! Also the food is horrible give something that everyone can eat. The only reason we come is because our doctor is affiliated with this place.

We had mostly positive experience with doctors at Maimonides. The billing/financial operations at this hospital, however, are nothing short of racketeering. I know that sounds like an exaggeration, but its the closest word I can think of to describe our experience. We were in network and had been taking a child there for regular treatment. After about a year, office visits that typically came with a copay of $30 rocketed to $200 $400, even $500 per visit. Nothing had changed. No medication change, no change in office visits, typically about 20 minutes. Our insurance company said the hospital was using different billing codes every time. We approached Maimonides. Each call was a walk through a maze. We could not resolve the issue. We did pay the bill believing that we would be able to rectify it as we continued our attempts, and we didn't want to interrupt treatment or be turned over to a collection agency. However, after we paid an erroneous bill, every response we got from the hospital was "Well, you paid once, just keep paying." Our doctor was shocked by the billing. She said she's never seen anything like it and tried to connect us with the proper person in billing but every person was the same. The only response was to demand payment. No review, no pursuit of why the cost of our regular visits jumped 1500%. Lastly, and this is minor of course compared with the racketeering we experienced, the check-in process is a nightmare at Maimonides. Minimum 20 minutes with each visit if there was no one in front of you. If there is a line, you're going to be in it for 30 to 40 minutes. If you have any other options for medical care, I highly recommend you take it. We moved on as soon as possible, despite the risk of doing so to our child.

Maimonides billing department called us to delay my mom’s surgery due to my mom has 2 insurance cards. 😅 New York health department told me they violate public health rule, hospital should cooperate with insurance company to collect bill instead of calling patient to delay/cancel surgery. Thanks New York health , so I would use this law to argue with hospital /primary doctor to let my mom’s surgery done! . When I filed complaint, the patient relation center said my mom’s surgery is finally done! It’s nothing to complain , it’s my mistake due to I didn’t call billing department to negotiate. If health department don’t tell me this regulation, my mom’s surgery must be delay by hospital.All right , hospital is always right! Whatever patient has money, no money, has insurance issues or no, please don’t try to delay or cancel surgery without solution. It’s a moral standard.

I read the other reviews about this hospital and I was shocked to see that people are complaining about waiting 3 hours for ED… You are lucky if you wait less than 6 hours for the emergency department regardless of the hospital you go to, you need to understand that ED is based on the severity of the problem you have, thats how its prioritized. This hospital has great nurses overall and pretty good hospital food ( everything is kosher).

Please don’t bring your loved ones here! Please save them if you love them. We had really bad experience at Maimonides. My mother came here for a little procedure of 30 mins only. They messed it up all. She went into comma and stayed in hospital critical emergency for 3 weeks. She hardly survived after struggling for weeks in the hospital and months at home. Here is how I would summarize Maimonides. 1- OPD appointment scheduling procedure is good. 2- Day of surgery process before the procedure is good. 3- It all starts from the surgery. The moment patient goes for surgery, you are lost and so is the patient. No place to go to check status (one bad screen on top floor that is just annoyingly poor design). If surgery takes much longer than expected, you will have no idea whats going on. No. directions or updates for relatives. You will be lucky if the surgeon finds one of the relatives after the surgery. If surgeon don’t find you, God helps you. So, hospital doesn’t know about the needs of the attendants during the surgery. 4- No one will inform you when the surgery ends. Rely on your investigation expertise to find that. 5- If you are smart and get lucky and are able to find that surgery is complete, you don’t know what’s next. So, just run everywhere you can and you will figure out. 🤷‍♂️ 6- Patients are taken to recovery room after surgery. Hospital doesn’t tell anything. So, you have to find that surgery room somehow. The one where your patient is. 7- Upon finding recovery room, you would want to know how your patient is doing right? Sorry, you can’t find that. Just pray! 8- The recovery room staff is extremely annoying. You will see anger on their face, loud and clear. 9- If somehow you manage to convince the staff to see your patient in the recovery room, you will find nurses equally angry as rest of the staff. Be as soft and calm as you can be. But they will still hate you. You can tell that from their face. After all, you are in their room to see your patient. 10- If you complain about pain, they will say “we know our job”. I dont have words to explain how bad they treat you. 11- At the end of the surgery which was supposed to take 30 mins but took 5+ hours, my mother was kept in recovery room for another 5+ hours. They said they don’t have a bed to move her. How is that? They even said “her blood pressure and heartbeat is normal so she is just making up about the pain”. What!!? 12- How you will find that your patient is now moved out of recovery room? Pray for that! There is no way to find it. Just run around. Good luck! 13- When the patient is moved out of recovery to the care unit, half of the nurses are arrogant, annoying, having really bad attitude. Few of them are really caring and sweet. They are just few. 14- If your patient is in pain, go talk to the main desk. They will help in the day time ONLY. Do not expect much in the night. I feel sorry for all the patients staying night at Maimonedes and are in pain because, most probably, they won’t address your pain or other needs at night. 15- If in pain at night, you want access to Dr right? Am sorry you can’t. Good luck! Don’t forget to pray! 16- Our Surgeon never came back to check the patient after the surgery. Isn’t it unbelievable? The surgeon came on 3rd day I think and said that “I was busy in planning my wedding”. I have no words to explain the pain of that moment. That was Dr. Ronald Kaleya. I asked him “did surgery went well? Will she recover now?”. His response was “I cannot guarantee. Let’s see”. Unbelievably cruel! 17- On day-3, when mum kept shouting with pain, they did the scan and found that the surgery stitches have leaked in the abdomen and patient is about to hit Sepsis anytime. Sepsis is a almost a grantee that patient will die anytime. I can’t explain those feelings in words. Remember, up until this moment they kept saying that mum is just making that up about pain! 18- They decided to do another emergency surgery. So, the patient who came in for a little 30 mins surgery, was having sepsis, and the 2nd surgery of around 7 hours!!!

Very neglectful, full of chaos. I used to volunteer there, nothing changed, no one really cares for the patient. This is very sad. To be so dismissive and so inconsiderate to a patient. This is the last time my family is going into this hospital.

I haven’t been to this hospital since before Covid and I must say, it is one of the worst places I’ve ever walked into in my life! As soon as I walked in I noticed staff members sleeping on chairs, chit-chatting and taking their sweet time to do their jobs ! No hand sanitizer out in the ER anywhere! No toilet tissues in the bathroom and seats were filthier than the ones in public trains!! This place has went to shambles.. What a disgrace !

It was awful. I went to the emergency room because of a stomach ache. After a light analysis of the ultrasound on the bed on the couch the doctor told me that I had some kind of complicated situation and it was necessary to look through a special machine. this machine is called a cat scan after checking on this machine the doctors began to say such frightening things: That my ovaries have crossed over to each other if they are not disconnected they will die because of this I cannot have children. That it was very dangerous and that they wanted to do After they said these phrases we are sitting with my husband in a panic listening to this information and I start crying. And at this point they give us a piece of paper to sign, we didn't even have time to ask what it was just signed because we were in a panic worrying. They said we had no choice and they had already called an ambulance for us to redirect me to another clinic that has a special machine that examines ultrasound more clearly and accurately after some time came the ambulance, I was taken on a gurney in the car and we drove 20 minutes to another hospital. Before we left the hospital, we asked for information from nurses, doctors, all assured that all information will be transferred all the documents, all the paperwork and tests that have been done will be transferred to the new clinic in a new hospital. And it turned out to be false, because we went to a new clinic, we had to fill out the system again, they did not have any details of what happened, they asked everything from the beginning. Two hours later I was referred to a gynecologist, he did the procedure and told me completely different information from the other hospital. That there was no ovarian plexus and it was just a cyst. We were shocked, because we were deceived, because there was no gynecologist at the other clinic and they intimidated us and sent us to another clinic. All the treatment they gave me was just painkillers. I was told to just drink more ibuprofen. It was my first experience with emergency and it was just awful.

Maimonedes Medical Center is well known for treatment of cardiovascular diseases. Center is not very spacious yet provides quality services and employment to surrounding communities. Pediatric ER lacks enough space but still provides effective service. Doctors, nurses, administrative staff and technicians were super friendly.

I had delivery month ago in this hospital and now I understand why the Google rate is so low LOL. I ran away two days after the C-section because of the awful service of this hospital. They cannot even provide the most basic facilities for the patient's comfort. On first day the room was cold . middle of the night the AC turned off until 12 hours 😳 And I was sweating badly . After my husband complained many times and he finally got angry, they sent someone to check the problem after 12 hours. guess what happened ? It worked, but this time we freezes . I went to check on my baby in nursing room OMG poor baby , over there was even colder . All nurse was wearing blanket . They didn’t have the thermostat to control the nursing room temperature😡 I had pain on my had because of the IV’s place , after I Insisting to change the place of my IV she made a lots of bruises in my hand and finally she couldn’t and told me do you really need IV ?? You don’t need it LOL . I gave up 😅 then I asked for warning pack because my hand was sore , and you know what I got as a warning pad ? A wet dipper warmed in microwave 🤣🤬 they didn’t have the simple thing(warming pad ) in hospital . And guess what !!! For such a awful service they billed me $21000 for nursing room for 2 days for baby and $31000 for my surgery 😳😳😳

The first time staying over night in the hospital the nurses don't do nothing for u my iV came out 327am its now 410am and if I didn't say anything God knows how long I would be here waiting for her and her friend to stop talking and do their job . I'm sick that's why I'm here not to be put on the backburner while the 2 women at the desk have a conversation then I have another nurse pointing to the others like that's not her job wow never will I ever come back here or bring my family here either the staff needs to know they work for the sick not the other way around . I will continue to write reviews til I leave here

My stepfather was a patient at Maimonides hospital for few weeks before he died on October 1, 2022. The nurses were great but his cancer doctor, Dr.Asmar is whom is an issue! My mother, brother and I had an issue with Dr.Asmar. Last year he gave my stepfather too much chemotherapy at the age of 79. The chemotherapy had made him sick as where he was sleeping alot! Family and friends could not understand why a doctor would give a patient at a late age chemotherapy? Why his family was informed? It is important that family be present especially in his condition. At the age of 80 my stepfather was taken 8 different medications!! We wondered was it necessary and that doctor still gave him chemotherapy but it was in a pill! My brother and mother had a discussion with Dr.Asmar ready stepfather. For some reason Dr.Asmar was nervous fidgeting in his seat. Some of the questions he felt uncomfortable when my brother was questioning about medical forms being signed and the medications. I do not trust him for the fact when my stepfather went into the nursing home Dr. Asmar sends his Assistant Doctor. Doctors that I knew would visit their patients! My stepfather took sick in the nursing home and went back to Maimondes hospital given blood transfusion. He got the Covid-19 and was week and loosing weight!! That damn Dr.Asmar did not visit my stepfather or speak to the family!! He sends another Assistant Doctor. This Assistant Doctor was nice but she unprofessional when speaking where you do not address my mother and I as, " you guys!" Doctors do not talk like that! When my stepfather passed Dr.Asmar did not have the audacity to say sorry for your lose to my family! The head supervisor did and told my mother forget about him! God , who I believe in says vengeance is mine! Treat a family member/ patient the way you want someone to treat your family! My question is why are you a doctor?

I had an exceptional experience at the hospital, thanks to RN Jenny Li Li. She went above and beyond to support and care for my wife during a difficult time. Jenny was not only attentive but also empathetic, making sure to address our needs and concerns throughout our stay. Her dedication and compassion truly stood out, and I believe our community would greatly benefit from more nurses like Jenny Li Li. As a business person, I recognize the value of exceptional healthcare professionals like her in our hospitals. She made a significant positive impact on our hospital experience, and we are truly grateful for her outstanding care.

If I could give zero stars, I would. I went in for dehydration due to a stomach virus and just needed a saline drip. They put me into diabetic acidosis, and I had to spend 5 days in ICU. I'd rather deal with severe dehydration than go through that again.

If I could give it zero stars I would, this is the second time disappointed in their treatment. I went last year with an open wound and cut and then doctor in the emergency room completely butchered my stitches and I have the worst scar ever. I went on 04/05/2023 because I had knee surgery on the 31st of march and I developed a severe fever of 103 degrees so I arrive to the emergency room at 3 am and it’s a mess. Everyone is all over the place. Hours passed and no update on what was wrong with me just ifs and buts. The nurses are all unprofessional, it’s a big hangout spot for nurses rather than an emergency room. All the nurses are cracking jokes and I personally was forgotten about completely, I arrived at 3 am and they didn’t do anything till 5 am. Then as the hours passed and the change of shift came along the doctor who was originally assigned to me left and the nurses completely forgot about me. I asked for their attention and to get help as I’m in pain and freezing and the doctors and nurses are completely missing. The nurses are a joke, the staff is a joke if you care about your health go to NYU langone which is a 10 min drive from this horrible place.

This place is not even worth 1 star .Emergency dept is a disaster. My mom was there was over 7 hrs .Have to explain the story of why you are there over & over to different doctors. There is definitely not a lack of staff there compared to the low # of patients that were in that emg room .They drag the process out for the entire day which is not necessary & waste of time. Also there is no patient privacy there .As I could hear why other people were there & their medical issues etc . should be more privacy between doctors & patients.

I’m shocked at these other reviews I’m reading because that has not been my experience at all. This hospital has literally saved my life. The staff here is very sweet and thoughtful. The food could be better, but it’s kosher and once you get used to it it’s not that bad. As sick as I was I couldn’t eat anything anyway. I wouldn’t go to any other hospital. This is the best in Brooklyn. Keep up the great work.

Very careless hospital. They sent me bill that was 3 times higher that discussed before But No Results. I still did not receive results of my son's ultrasound. But received Bill They charged me for parking 60 dollars because refused to give Parking Ticket on the front desk. Overall my bill came up to 260 dollars and no test results Phone number they gave me to call is not responding Careless. Irresponsible, money hungry facility Waiting time was excessively long.

I had my first and only child here in 2012 , and it was such an amazing experience. The nurses helped have a smooth and subtle delivery , my child is now 11 years old and in good health. Even though most reviews say this place is bad , if i have to have a second child I would definitely come back. If you want good experienced workers with good attitudes please come here. The best hospital ever!!

SHUT THIS PLACE DOWN worst hospital ever! The doctors nurses and staff should all be sued for negligence! My aunt came with a broken leg, they decided to stick her in an MRI and she had a heart attack after getting frightened from being left alone in a closed MRI machine, instead of removing her right away they did nothing and she continued to suffer. She now lays with tubes breathing for her and can hardly open her eyes. The doctors told us there's nothing they can do there is a high chance she can possibly die now. I cannot believe how this is allowed to happen there are murderers in this place it's truly horrifying that I will lose my aunt. Keep your loved ones far away from this place!

Nurses needs to communicate with eachother i thought all hospitals was supposed to be cold it was very hot in this hospital no air circulation at all. food in all hospitals are disgusting but this place alot of times don't even bring the patients a tray but the doctors seem to be very nice and on point,

The worst hospital ever! Waiting for 6 hours a signature to finalize discharged papers. Nobody to find, nodoby to complain. Nurses are sharing their shoulders. They don't know. Patients have no rights here.

Tried calling 10+ times over the course of a few weeks to follow up on a referral, and my call was not picked up a single time. Left a message with their answering service to please get back to me ASAP because it was urgent, did not receive any followup for the last 3 weeks. One of, if not the, worst run businesses I've ever had the displeasure of interacting with. I recommend you go to literally any other health care provider, because these people simply do not care about you at all. I am not surprised in the least that they are in danger of going bankrupt if this is how they treat their patients.

Worst Labor and Delivery experience. Never enough rooms Dr didn't wanna induce even when my wife had crazy contraction. We tried talking to the Dr and the Dr refused to come have a conversation with us. We where send home 3 times already because there are not enough rooms. If there is not enough rooms it's already called FAILING. ( It's worth traveling to go to a smaller hospital they treat you much nicer)

Exceptional staff here that truly care!

I was treated like absolute dirt at this hospital, The level of compassion to a fellow human being by the staff was absolutely shocking, I was visiting New York and didn't know anybody or my surroundings before I had fully recovered I was thrown out of the hospital into the rain in January in my shorts..

If we say that NYC hospitals are bad then Maimonides is the worst, the service here is literally terrible, the nurses do not care about the patients at all. I was here overnight with an elderly patient in a cold winter night in January, and the steam simply didn't work, I needed to cover him with multiple blankets he shouldn't become frozen. The place smells terribly, sounds like the place wasn't renovated in a while. Pls don't bring here anyone you care about, they should win the medal as the worst hospital in the whole US.

My mom fell at home and an ambulance arrived. She requested Maimonides Medical Center. After waiting for hours in the emergency room she was diagnosed with a broken hip. Mom had surgery for the hip and was discharged for physical therapy. Mom finished physical therapy and was discharged home. Mom needed to be readmitted and during additional treatment we arrived at the hospital and were informed mom's hip was dislocated. At this time mom was unable to get up without assistance. The hospital failed to notify my family that this occurred. Who did it?? How did it happen?? I read over 1000 pages of medical records and found 1 sentence stating she "may have dislocated her hip". No answers and I am still very angry and upset about this situation. Mom's hip never improved after this and her health worsened. I recommend you stay away from this hospital.

My mom has had a much better experience here than with other local hospitals!

The worst hospital in the world. Even hospitals in third world countries are better. The eighth floor is disgusting. The rooms are filthy including the windows, closet etc. The curtains have brown stains all over them. The AC doesn’t work on the entire floor. I was sweating and didn’t sleep all night. How does a hospital with Covid patients not have any ventilation. I couldn’t breathe. The nurses are so rude and disrespectful. They give you false information. A GI was supposed to see me after surgery and didn’t show up until the next day. Walked up to the nurse’s desk to ask a question and she rolled her eyes and walked away. The worst experience ever. Never again will I come here!!!!

I just had my second baby here today and I couldn’t wait to share my experience. I had the most beautiful birthing experience, words alone can’t do justification. My Boro park midwife, made me fall in love with delivery. Her and all the assisting nurses during my delivery made me feel loved and supported. They didn’t just treat me like just another patient but a real human. Their support and nurturing attitude made my delivery fast and smooth. They allowed me follow the tune of my body with pressuring me do anything I wasn’t comfortable with. If they ever see this I want to use this opportunity to say a big thank you to the delivery team, particularly my Boro park midwife.

I went to the hospital on 4/19 and was induced. I had my daughter on 4/20 and spent 2 nights in the hospital. The care I received was exceptional from the moment my husband and I arrived. The care team was understanding and very helpful during a very stressful situation. The doctors and nurses had amazing bed side manner. I couldn’t have asked for a more genuine and caring group of people to get me through the birth of my first child. I highly recommend this hospital. Also if possible book the private recovery room. It’s exceptionally.

The doctors and nurses are incredible at this hospital. I wouldn’t trust my life with anyone else. They are the greatest doctors you’ll ever find. They’re totally dedicated to saving lives and making people well, not to mention their expertise. The only thing that fell short was customer relations with the social work department. Also they want to discharge patients too quickly.

4th FLOOR- I made a huge mistake transferring my services to this Medical Center. I transferred from out of state to continue my prenatal care and felt I was treated poorly. The doctor was asking questions that did not really matter and was basically pushing their personal opinions on to me. I was asked if this is a planned birth, if I would like to go on birth control after I give birth, would I like to see a therapist and so forth. Then the ultrasound tech was very rough and not communicative with what she was doing. She was pushing really hard on my stomach with the ultrasound probe. Nor did she come into the room to introduce herself. Then when she was finished, she threw the paper towel on me and said you can clean yourself.… After my ultrasound appointment and talking with the doctor she asked do we know the sex of the baby gender. My boyfriend and I said no we are waiting until birth because we want it to be a surprise. The doctor said “LIFE IS ALREADY FULL OF SURPRISES!” How unprofessional right?! Anyway my point is. I would not recommend care here. Go somewhere else where you and your unborn baby would be treated better. I wish I had the list of names of the unprofessional doctors/ultrasound techs I dealt with. I want to help other people out and prevent them from going here.

We had our worst experience. Save your LIFE, money and time! Highly not recommended for child birth. They are not organized. No one know what's going on. The doctor showed up 8 hours late from when the procedure needed to be done.

They want to ER busy they hold me until some one ready for the bed. Nurse my mom have type 2 daivatic after 23 hours later Nurse came with insulin with out food . Of course there so many good hardworking Nurse. But some r so so bad

Worse hospital. Security supper rude Dr dont have knowledge what they doing if you wanna see your Loved ones in pain, please visit maimonides. We live once, don't let your precious life wasted with those animals.

Whatever you do, DO NOT go to the Emergency Room there. Absolutely the most unorganized mess, and provide the worst care possible. My mother went in for a possible stroke. After 8 hours, they took her for an MRI. They dropped her and notified no one. They wheeled her back to the ER and put her back like nothing happened. Her face, busted and her entire arm black and blue

Gnarly stomach virus and all my son got was zofran to stop vomiting. No IV. Doctor kept saying that “drinking is the best for hydration”, but it’s impossible to do when you are vomiting!! No blood work, no tests whatsoever. Not even a blanket even though it’s freezing in the ER. Insane and shameful!

All doctors nurses are good. My son is here from 8 days hopefully he will get better. The most important thing in this hospital is taking pictures of young kids When father and mother ID is scanned why would security take kid and teen girls pictures or they ask me to leave my daughter in the lobby. Every 10 feet there is security cameras but young females have to take photo.

The best staff, friendly and professional medical service. Thank you

I went in yesterday for severe stomach pain and had a horrible experience. The employees here are rude, careless, unprofessional, and unsympathetic. I sat there for over 3 hours while every 40 minutes a different employee would come up to me to ask the same questions over and over again. In the end the prescribed me tylenol and pepto bismol that i could get from CVS!! With no explanation as to what was causing the pain. My stomach still hurts but i’ll try another place i guess. Please if you or a loved one are in pain don’t come here. Maimonides will be of no help.

they are amazing even for me as a visitor they brought me a recliner at night they are amazing keep it up

Good

I had an immense shoulder pain and some shortage in breathing, was taken to an emergency room. They did xr and said that it’s nothing - maybe some hernia and my breathing’s just fine. I waited on a chair for 4 hours until they gave me a pain killer (when I asked to do that sooner, they rejected saying I still didn’t have a doctor appointed to me). They practically did nothing, charged me and I took a taxi home. Pain hadn’t gone away. In two months I’m diagnosed with a large amount of masses in my lungs that influence the shoulder. I don’t know what kind of doctors work in this facility.

1) Three days to move a mobile patient from bed to chair. 2) Five to six hour lapse for a nurse or PA to check on patient. 3) The patient was turned into a PDF document without any care. 4) The gastro prep was delayed for hours without liquids nor any explanation. The patient would have perished without family interventions. An extremely degrading to patient.

The place is a cesspool of Nasty and unprofessional Staff!!!! When You Are Jewish You Are able to get into the Beautiful Care with Real Doctors and amenities you could only dream of!! Quiet 🤫 Peaceful and Secluded!! The Food was Awesome but it’s only for Jewish People Like Me!! Why is that? Why does Maimonides treat people with such prejudice? We are all HUMAN!!!!

Dr. Orry Erez, the orthopaedic surgeon at Maimonides hospital was phenomenal. He is an excellent orthopaedic doctor and takes well care of all his patients. He performed both of my knee surgeries & did an excellent job. He truly cares for his patient. I have recommended him to all my family members that need orthopaedic work done & we all wouldn’t choose any other doctor.

I've recently had a few experiences at Maimonides. The staff and care were excellent. I would definitely go there again if I need to.

The emergency room here is an absolute nightmare. Came here twice for severe pain caused by unknown herniated disc and the first time they just gave me painkillers then sent me home despite doing a CT and there was findings in the report but the nurse told me it was nothing. A day later my conditions has worsen where I can't even walk or sit or stand and Came again by ambulance in hopes that they can look back on my ct report and do an mri to figure out what's wrong. After 8 hrs of wasted time and more painkillers that had no affect, one of the doctor tells me "er department doesn't do mri" and that I should go to the spine center by a cab...... he literally saw me get there by ambulance. what makes him think I'm able enough to get on a cab or even get off the er bed. I decided to stay to observe and was told that I would get a hospital room. However, not only did I not get a room for the next 15hrs I didn't not get even a cubicle. I was just left at the hallway. My nurses seldom comes over to feed me painkillers when its time while my stomache is empty then nowhere to be found. I couldn't even use the bathroom. Hours later another doctor finally came over with some new plans and said that they ordered physical therapy for me. I requested to do an mri because i am unable to even move to do pt and the new doctor helped me ordered one. Found out I have a ruptured herniated disc that was pressing onto my nerves which was what's causing me so much pain and was finally getting the help I needed. Got admitted into the hospital and got my surgery and things finally seems better. The final results were positive but the overall experience was traumatic. Highly don't recommend coming here for emergency health issues

I Recommended the Maimonides Hospital the Best I Been coming here for almost 9 years , Me and my Family we have a few Surgeries and many time always coming here for and help need in this Hospital all the Doctors and all the Staff Are Amazing. I give 5 Star and I can give 100% ⭐️ This Place is Awesome !

The services that I receive from Robin from the front desk in the ER was excellent. Robin was friendly and courtious. I would have no second thoughts in recommending this hospital. Thank you

Never in my life have I felt so heard & seen by a medical team, that was so carefully invested in my health, & the wellbeing of my actual life in & outside the hospital. I’m not going to disclose my health issues on a public platform… but they were so completely thorough with everything & even sent so far as to advocate for my health safety from the shelter where all my health issues arose from

Refused to record my insurance information, told me I could enter it myself online, only to get my bill and find out I had to call during my work hours. I called and gave my insurance info, but they only applied it to two of the three bills. I now have to take a morning off work to call a second time. Meanwhile, I'm getting tons of emails from them reminding me about the bill. Of all the NYC hospitals I've been treated at for health issues, this is the only one I've ever had an issue with like this. I have honestly spent more time trying to resolve my billing with them than I spent in the ER. If you can go to any other hospital, I highly recommend it.

Hello everyone👋🏾 I’m currently 6.5 months post-op from my open myomectomy surgery and decided to finally share my personal experience at Maimonides hospital. Almost a year ago, I decided to get a second opinion on the status of my fibroids. After a few visits, I chose to stay with Dr. Amro Elfeky as my primary GYN. This has been the best decision I've made for my health. I can't say enough about him. He is honest, sympathetic, patient and did an incredible job with my surgery. I felt like a million bucks afterwards🤭😂 Any woman with fibroid issues should look no further than Dr. Elfeky! Thank me later. I also want to thank the anesthesiologists,the nurses,the X-rays tech and the ct scan tech for an excellent job. They were top notch. Though my recovery was not an easy one due to on and off fevers and other malaise, the hospital staff went above and beyond to make sure I was well taken care of. From the nurses to the house keepers, from the bottom of my heart I thank you. Special shout outs & thx to Nurse Michelle for the great advices and Sandra McCalla for the moral support. You both are truly amazing women. As you can see, my experience at Maimonides hospital was great and I am grateful to have found it🙂

Never regretted going this hospital. Dr Simone Betchen did my surgery and it was the best decision I ever made since then I had no problems. The staff was very caring.

The allergy clinic with Dr. Mary Lee-Wong and her team are always so thorough, kind, and compassionate. Dr. Lee-Wong and her staff are great at communicating about your health and care plan moving forward. The office is also super clean and the front desk staff is always very friendly!

It has been almost a year since my grandfather passed and I browsed through my photos of him and got reminded how terrible this hospital is. I still feel the disappointment and anger whenever I thought about it. The staff there has no empathy ( I’m not saying everyone, maybe 20% passionate people 20 % super mean people and the rest just don’t care). Tried to leave a comment last year and they didn’t allow to me leave any comment. My grandfather procedure got delayed for 4 days (supposed to have emergent procedure ERCP for cholangitis but got delayed for 4+ days) he was from alert and oriented to very confused. The nurses there made me speechless. I was with my grandfather in his room in his final days he suddenly became delirious and was fighting and screaming. I didn’t know where the call button is so I was yelling for help. Literally no one came to help. You would think that they are busy. But when I finally got a chance to step out and ask for help you see them literally sitting there outside the room right around the corner. The nurse asked why didn’t I come out and ask for help. If I could even physically come out and ask for help why would I yell for help. My grandfather was grabbing me and kicking me because he had delirium. One night, my aunt asked a nurse to give pain med because my grandfather was in so much pain, and my aunt felt heartbroken to see him like that so she asked the nurse to help. The night nurse not sure why she said that but pretty much said that he is dying regardless and pain med not going to help anyway. She had so much attitude when she said it too. Everyone in the family understand he is dying from cancer but just sad to see him suffer. Being a healthcare worker myself, it’s extremely ashamed to see how patient got treated at the end of their life like this. Not asking much just some basic respect for someone who is actively dying. There are much more to this but I could write so much. Hope things will change one day, but at least for now AVOID THIS HOSPITAL if u could.

Clean, warm, and welcoming. Patient care in the emergency room was excellent and am grateful to live so close to such an excellent medical center. Am glad I was born here.

Samantha deleo is a mind-boggling individual care beyond beyond keep up all the good work

I had a horrible experience from beginning to end. NASTY nurses, patients yelling for help. My dr and my anesthesiologist were the only decent people. I left feeling violated and less than a person. Thank God it was just an ambulatory procedure because you couldn't pay me to spend 1 more minute in that Sh..t hole.

I came in today because I had a cough and runny nose for 2 days but the nurse told me that it was a cold and did not prescribe me anything all she did was give me recommendations. I came to the hospital so they can give me medicine. Very bad nurse Maimonides has to do better.

My relative with high blood pressure had to wait for the doctor for 5 hours, and when the doctor came, she didn't even check the blood pressure. She only put one symptom and didn't even mention other symptoms. They only want to get rid of the patient by discharging with a wrong diagnosis as a reason. In other words, you're good to go.

I finally know what’s wrong with my husband. The teams of doctors there, words can’t describe. Thank you so so much. Rabbit who can in his room on day of discharge, thank you so much for your words of encouragement. I also would like to thank the social workers there. You made me and my husband Willie Bell transition out to rehabilitate special. Your smile and concern made a big difference thank you. To the manager over the floor ❤️❤️not good with names thank you for coming in and introducing yourself. Thank you Maimonides.

My experience at the doctor's office was an absolute nightmare. Not only did I have to deal with the stress of being there, but the receptionist, Denise Mikelis, made it even worse. She showed blatant discrimination towards me when she rudely pointed at me and ordered me to get off my phone, where I was merely trying to have a conversation with my son and grandson. The audacity of her actions was infuriating, especially when I noticed her turning a blind eye to another person who was sitting right in front of her, also using their phone. It's appalling how someone in a professional setting could be so disrespectful and unfair. I hope this establishment addresses such appalling behavior and holds its staff accountable for their actions. Avoid this place if you want to be treated with basic human decency!

The maternity Centre here is beyond outdated disgusting unprofessional crowded and scary! You have to share a room. And bathroom with no showers with complete strangers while their family members come in an out while you’re trying to recover from a Caesarean or birth I can’t even walk to the bathroom without her husband looking at me in my robe or breastfeeding behind a curtain, nowhere to put anything because it is so crowded in these rooms this is not okay. Food is ehh and staff is really unprofessional especially the cleaning women and dieticians have a sassy disrespectful attitude. Never again Well I return me all my family back to this disgusting baby factory.

Worse experience ever, I was dumped on a stretcher from 4 am, nobody came to see me and after 5 hrs all I can hear from nurse is that there was no a Md assigned. You can die here and nobody will notice or care for it.

I was a patient at this place because I had a seizure. The staff treated me horrible and I witnessed them treat a male with a broken leg horrible as well. I had a phych patient tossing things at me and I begged and begged with all the nurses to please move me to another area because I was being assaulted by another patient. The nursed ignored me and the phych patient was allowed to continue to assault other people. Security was never called. The phych patient was only ever so slightly scolded verbally even though she was hitting people with water bottles and being aggressive and violent. So it's okay to allow other patients to he assaulted and nothing is done about it? I even heard a nurse got punched in the eye and nothing is being done about that either. I ended up going AMA because nobody has a single drop of protection in this scum bag hospital. I was actually scared for my life that I was gonna get hit with a bed pan full of poop and pee. I witnessed a nurse tell a man with a broken leg who was begging for help with his food tray. All he asked was if somebody could help him toss stuff in the trash. The nurse straight up told this man with a broken leg. Well you can get up and do it yourself. That's so beyond messed up and disturbing and digusting forcing a man with a broken leg to walk. I begged for hours on end to please be moved away from the phych patient the was attacking people with water bottles and nobody would help me. One of the traveling nurses had a jacked up attitude when I asked her. I begged and she said " I'm just a traveling nurse I can't do it" So essentially you are better off just not going to this place because you are in more danger at this place than walking the new york streets at night.

I was met by a rude, crude elderly woman at the front desk at Maimonides Medical Center 12:15pm pm on Thursday September 7th. I asked a simple question and received a curt and nasty response. This was the first person I had access to at Maimonides. This was my portal of entry to the facility. An angry woman who does not belong anywhere near sick patients. In response, I was told to contact Patient Relations, which I did. I received a recording, left a phone number and I'm still awaiting a call back. I'm attaching a picture of the " Patient Relations Department." It speaks for itself. Never Again.

My daughter was admitted and had 2 procedures related to stones & gallbladder. Here is my message to Dr. King: “ … Hello Dr. King This is Mohsen Jambi, Lamar’s father. Maybe it’s a bit late, but I just want to express my deepest gratitude to you personally for taking care of my daughter. Though we met only a couple of times, but your team made a great job. I want to thank all of your team members, GI team, nurses, and all hospital staff & workers for their dedication. I don’t remember the names but all of them with no exceptions. I wish you all nothing, but all the best. Thank you! Mohsen … “

If you truly value your LIFE don’t go to this Hell hole 🕳️ 🔥 They are thirsty for medical expenses to extract from you, while doing unnecessary procedures. They hacked into my mother left and right , poked her with needles 💉 constantly, HURTING HER , it’s not not a caring profession over there .. more like they employed by Satan.. careless they just want to mustered what ever they can get out of insurance while they torturing you CUTS 🩸 blood 🩸 🩸 and more 🩸 my mother got STARVED , Dehydrated and ABUSED.. they caused her to have an infection, they also neglected to care for the unnecessary surgery for her stomach , whom was proudly performed by Doctor Ronald Kalyah . Was worst mistake going to this hospital. As u will see in picture they just cut her and let this happen

The pediatric emergency room Doctor's nurse were nice and kind . But the room we we're waiting in was very dirty and had bed bugs on that bed. the hospital was very filthy in the emergency area we did not see even one person coming to clean during await that took us 5 hours in the hospital..left without one test result. You We're so excited to get discharged and freaked out to carry on the bed bugs around to home. unbelievable how the TV and medical devices and screens seemed to be wiped down with an filthy mop. They need patience to donate some sanitary wipes

I would like to make everyone aware and warn against bringing your loved ones to this hospital. The staff, nurses and doctors are terrible, not professional, with a very uncaring and disengaged attitude. In the intensive care department, doctors and nurses have very minimal to no experience. Assigned doctors don't visit the patients in a timely manner, if at all. All communications happened through the PAs and instructions to the PA's on what to do and how to treat my mother, were given virtually and not through in person consultation. Some of the critical equipment is not working properly, monitors display inaccurate readings for blood pressure, heartbeat, pulse, oxygen measurements, and worst of all, they base their prescriptions on these inaccurate readings. Patients are dying every day in this intensive care unit on the 7h floor. But specifically, I want to mention the doctors with the worst attitudes and terrible bed side manners. They are Dr. Dmitry Zadushlivy, MD; Lev Aminov PA and Ilya Shneyderman, nephrologist. My mother came to the hospital seeking help and passed away a week later, without much in the way of care. None of these doctors were able to discuss her treatment or her prognosis. It was impossible to get a hold of any of them during her stay, and when they were around, they did not provide any details and were nowhere to be found during the last few days of her stay. They treated her with several different antibiotics, which seemed like trial and error, and gave her medicine that raised her blood pressure, with an extreme dosage that ultimately destroyed her stomach, but none of this made her any better. They did everything to kill my mother. For them an 85-year-old woman was not worth fighting for or saving. All they cared about were the insurance payments. If you want better care and a competent and caring team of doctors, please avoid visiting this hospital's intensive care unit on the 7 floor and specifically these three medical "professionals", Dr. Dmitry Zadushlivy, MD; Lev Aminov PA and Ilya Shneyderman, nephrologist.

The emergency room only has one doctor so what's the point in calling it an emergency room?

Dr. Ooi was patient and aware of what my issues were. He depth of knowledge and compassion showed in her examination. She made me feel comfortable in her abilities and is one of the best physicians I have had examine me. I look forward to her recommendation on my next visit.

Very bad service. The nurses are terrible. They only lean towards their own Race.
