As someone who used to work here, the low reviews are likely the more honest ones. This hospital does not have patient care as a priority, far from it. They care more about their image. The nurses are so unionized and they pick fights with the doctors all the time, making every situation about them to the point of compromising patient care (refusing to do vitals, demanding certain inappropriate antibiotics to be used because the scheduling is more convenient for them, etc.). I'm all for advocating for all team members, but there is an appropriate time and place for that. This hospital seems extremely concerned about potential liability, public relations, and appeasing abusive unions. The atmosphere is toxic and the deficiencies in patient care is the accepted norm and culture here, which is alarming. Their processes are highly inefficient to say the least and they're not interested at all in addressing the underlying causes of things to better turn things right here. To anyone unfortunate enough who ends up here for services, please keep record of events carefully. If needed, do not be shy about asking for copies of the medical records (hospitals legally cannot deny requests, you have a right to copies). Watch for yourself and loved ones carefully and keep a detailed trail (with witnesses).

I was there 2 days ago in you ER dept. It was filthy, nothing was cleaned in-between patient's. I was put in a room, that 6 of us were in. The bathroom was gross. Urine samples were left in the bathroom. Your floors are sticky and dirty. I went for a test by myself, no assistance. The Doctor wanted to discuss my results with me in the hallway, with other people around (HIPA law doesn't apply?) They wanted to take blood, but I said due to the filthy conditions I do not feel comfortable. I did not let anyone take my blood. I was there for a High Blood Pressure condition. It was only checked when I first got there, and never again. I understand being busy, but unprofessional I do not...

Heavy set woman with braids can be a bit rude at times. She had the audacity to shew me away with her hands.....I HATE that. It is a demeaning and rude form of body language. She and another young lady can be quite bitter and cold when you go any hair away from making their day run perfectly smoothly. I'd think that when working with pregnant women one would carry more poise and patience. The other young lady is brown skinned and one of the youngest receptionists that I've seen. They nearly caused me to uproot my prenatal care to another facility however being almost due....I didn't think they deserved that type of power to make me that uncomfortable in my journey. Though it is irritating to deal with sour faces and short patience ..I am determined to NOT allow them to damper my beautiful experience. It is my sincerest hope that administration finds someone jolly and pleasant to maintain that desk. Even though they check in and out...they are STILL apart of our experience as new moms and dads.

Most of their staff and doctors are great professionals who knows how to provide the best care. However, there are many residents/students who might act unprofessionally, e.g. take photo of your newborn baby without a proper introduction and explanation, because that is only way they learn there. Most disappointing moment was that they gave us the worst room with broken and cracked ceiling and furniture, although there were many available and better rooms. They definitely discriminate, especially if you are Asian. My recommendation is to explore other hospitals who will not treat you differently based on your race.

very upset when my son went to visit my mother found her half lying off the bed, this is after having brain surgery absolutely surprising. k i m o y was her nurse that day as well her cell phone has gone missing. call multiple times getting a runaround but they always have their story straight but every time someone goes in there to see how she's doing things have not been right she's not eating but they have a story about how they fed her then when we go in the room her food is not eaten. but imagine how you would feel if you find your mother half off the bed

This is one of the BEST hospital you'll ever find in the entire country. Staff is very respectful and caring. Imagine caring for your loved ones your whole life until one day it's out of your control, you take them to a hospital where all the staff are extremely trained and very professional, kind and caring. I'm so grateful for all the nurses and doctors that's currently involved in my mom's care. May god almighty keep our doctors and nurse/ medical staff safe. Dr David and nurse Emily from 529 north, thank you for your profession. God bless you guys!

Very traumatic visit today. I was told to come here for a possible miscarriage since my OB is affiliated. Not only did they not even care who my ob was, it took 4 hours to get seen. Mind you I'm bleeding and having a possible miscarriage! After the 4 hours to merely talk to the doctor for less than a minute & get bloodwork, then im told to wait for ultrasound. I was OVERWHELMED AND STRESSED and all they can tel me is they are not answering and I have to wait. 3 hours more and im crying hysterically at this point because I asked the doctor my hcg level and find out its significantly lower so now im freaking out and crying. It took up until that point for the doctor to finally actually have someone take me to get the ultrasound done. The ultrasound tech said nobody called about seeing me! MAYBE I SHOULD HAVE BEEN CRYING FROM THE START I JUST DIDNT WANT THEM TO BE MORE RUDE THEN THEY WERE ALREADY. So now the ultrasound tech was VERY NICE THANK GOD, she's telling me not to worry, she said she couldnt give me the results but I had nothing to worry about which is entirely untrue. ( and gave me false hope) (the ultrasound tech did not have not one patient after me the whole time I was waiting outside her office) SO, another HOUR+ later and someone finally picks me up to go back to er side... the doctor is basically laughing at me saying everything is fine, he also told me he gave me my paperwork so I WOULD CALM DOWN. Which did calm me down because it showed the baby heart rate and that it was living. So about another hour or more later, he finally tells me to come up to the front desk. NOT EVEN IN THE ROOM PRIVATELY AT LEAST. JUST TO TELL ME THAT IT IS A THREATENING ABORTION. He was very brief, standoffish, and basically told me go home and rest and follow up with my OB. I ended up having a miscarriage when I got home. I feel like I wish I never went there and sat down completely stressed for 6 hours, not saying that would change the outcome but who knows. WORST EXPERIENCE EVER.

This hospital is the most uncaring, unprofessional, all about the lining their pockets instead of the patients well being. We were stationed in a hallway for 10 hours with no room to recver. Risk being exposed to other illnesses. We didn't see or talk doctor in 6 hours out of the ten. Finally got frustrated and they acted like it was my fault for feeling this way. Long story short do not I repeat do risk your life going to this hospital...you have been warned!

This was hands down the worst hospital I have ever been to in my whole 20 years of existence. I sat in the waiting room for 3 hours just to be put in a group room. I stayed for a total of 6 hours and left with no answers! I came with a cough and a headache and all I got was a stupid x ray and I needle in my arm. There were no doctors just nurses taking guesses! I got stabbed up a whole bunch of times and my IV started bleeding! DO NOT COME HERE!!

Six and 9 tower nurses feel like they doing you a favor I thought it was part of the job to take care of patients where they care less about anything. Working a 8 hour shift nurse only check on you once or twice the most. People could die in their bed they would care less. I personally have some of the nurses name I will update the post once my experience is done here. They killed my Father. Definitely pick and choose who they going to save. I would think they would have better experience after the first pandemic but everything it’s a practice to them. Only good person was there person name maureen, may god bless her. Couldn’t even give me the details how my father passed when asking them if they tried to revive him they said we did all we can and hung up. If you don’t know anyone from the hospital don’t take your chances, be really careful. Your loved one needs help, drive to the city you’ll have more chance of getting better. No sympathy or compassion here for patients or families trying to receive answers.

Absolutely worse administration, providers and nurses ever. They are all about the $$$ and not about the care for the patient. My loved one was hospitalized for a total of 3 weeks. They made it very evident after the 2nd week my loved one wasn’t welcome any longer. Care standard changed, attitudes changed. It’s unbelievable that they call themselves a reputable instruction. The providers are almost impossible to contact. No one provides any feedback or care plan to the family until you literally beg for information and even then they sound like they are doing you a favor by even talking to you. Providers did not honor any wishes of the family, did whatever they wanted to do (since they made their intentions very clear from day one) and they did just that. No explanations given as to why decisions were made. We asked on several occasions for them to provide us with a reasoning behind their decisions but they failed to do so. The nurses for the most part were ‘okay’ with the exception of a nurse names Karen (really was a Karen) on the 5th floor south team. Who was very disrespectful, racist and very stand-offish. You have to beg someone to come by to clean your loved one. If they are soo short staffed maybe they should hire more quality staff to assist instead of making the experience at the hospital worse. The hospital is filthy which wasn’t even an issue given everything else we went through. Never again, please steer clear of this place unless you really want your patience tested or loved ones suffer at the hands of these unqualified bunch of losers!!!! I don’t usually write reviews so you know it was bad since I took the time to type this out.

I would never recommend this hospital for any patient that requires critical care! Lack of compassion and knowledge. You have one attending physician for each patient, which they send attendees to deliver news about the patients status. Doctors, residents, attendees and RN’s lack the care and compassion for their patients and I pray to god that I will get justice for my mother enduring negligence and incompetency from Long Island Jewish Medical Center. Now that my mother is in her final moments I pray to god other patients do not suffer the same treatments as my mother did. This is unacceptable!!!!

I'm a family member of a patient that was recently admitted into this hospital. I would like to write this review for Murielle St. Preux, a nurse practitioner that works there who conducted the test mandated prior to the surgery. She's not only very nice and patient, but also very detailed and responsible. After the examination, she realized that my grandpa was in critical condition, she immediately called an ambulance to send him to the ER and she saved his life. In addition, she held onto his wheelchair until midnight until someone could pick it up.

Bad customer service from the ER Nurses to physician Assistants to some doctors. The nurses won’t give me water or my meds. She is nowhere to be found,and They finally gave me food and water when I was allowed to eat and then when I threw up because I felt sick she got upset with me as if it was my fault. What happened to “caring” nurses if LIJ? They are The worst. My wife went to look for the head nurse to complain and no one would take us seriously. No one listened or cared about how rudely we were being treated. Every time I spoke, the supervisor shut me down. There is no listening skills. The security guards! Five huge guards who obviously has no other jobs to do in the hospital so they decided to come see me and say to a 5’3” patient “We will do something to you that you will never forget!” Yes you read it right, five huge guys threatened me! After staying from 12am to 8pm, I immediately complained to management who didn’t do anything and accused me of lying. After more than two years of correspondence, according to them they did their job accordingly? I see, By defending their unprofessional staff members? I guess threatening their unsatisfied patients is the mission of LIJ.

The worse emergency hospital I can't think of other worse hospital ever . . no one listens the patients . patients cry their no one listen . nurses are very rude. less staff in emergency always. went to twice their ,waited their almost over 7hrs. I'm running temp. they dont care for their patients. i think human life is more important than another works.no one cares here . totally unsatisfied here. over all zero deserve.

The worst ER that I ever been in. Came with severe tooth pain. Waited 3 hours. At some point was crying from pain. Medical personal was passing by me with no attention. Left this hospital with severe pain and nobody even care asking why am I leaving. Who gives you licenses to be called RN, MD if you didn’t have the first and most important qualities of sympathy, compassion, kindness towards your patients? Very disappointed. Never choose your hospital for me or any of my family members.

This hospital isn't the worst, but certainly isnt the best. In Dec 2021, this place almost killed my mother by giving her baby aspirin, which she is allergic to. Shame on vascular Doctor, Dr Rosca for not catching this mistake as he gave the approval to give the aspirin to a less experienced Dr or intern. They also did not clean my mother for 3 days and the bed area under her was soaked with urine and smelled of ammonia. Hope this place gets it together. The entire Northwell system needs to do much better.

Worst experience of my life. Spent over eights hours. First I was asked to two a urine test by three persons, I then told them I did it already. After which I was sent in a room waited over 30 mins, no one came. I went to the front desk to ask if anyone will see me. 20 mins after a doctor came in asked me a few questions he then said someone will come do a few blood test. I waited over 20 mins was then given an Iv. After another long wait a male nurse came in did a blood work. I then waited over five hours not one doctor or nurse came to see how I was doing. I waited over 8 hours in total I kept asking if the doctor could see me after the nurse said my results were in. She did said she wanted to do some more test, I asked if it’s possible the doctor could see me since I’ve been there since 3:00 it’s almost midnight. The nurse said the doctor has many other patients and it would take him an hour to come to me; I have the option to leave if I wanted to. I came out feeling worst than I came in.

If I could give this hospital a zero rating I would. I have made detailed notes of the hostility and lack of bedside manner my family and I was met with while a loved one is battling for their life at their hospital. The way the doctor treated my mother who is losing her husband is absolutely disgusting, condescending, and honestly worrisome; because we don't know how they speak or treat my father when we aren't there. There is multiple instances I have recorded down and will be making a video shortly about this hospital to shine light on what we have faced.

Terrible hospital. This hospital used to be good. Now its going down. I went to ER last weekend. The nurse at the gate checked me in quickly. Then when I was inside they had me waiting in my bed for almost 40 minutes while I was screaming with pain. They only had one nurse and he was busy. The fricking doctor in charge saw me in pain and couldn't step in to at least give me the pain medicine. She was sitting in the table doing nothing. Her name is Jiawen Huang(PA). I am not sure how this hospital hire such incompetent people? Then at the end when she gave me the discharge paper she didn't even bother to take out the needle from my arm so that I can go home quickly. When I told the nurse, she was like what a doctor. I am never ever going back to this hospital ever again. They showed me no compassion when I was going through the most worst pain in my life.

The absolute worst hospital ever. My Dad came in an ambulance and after having a seizure and severe gout was rushed to the ER. He had the best EMT Jose and the RN’s in the ED were great. Now first and foremost you rarely will ever see a doctor. You would be lucky!! Tons over nurses and PA’s in which some are spectacular yet some are totally overworked. Lots of phone activity and chatting whilst patients are in extreme need of attention. PLEASE TAKE NOTES OF ALL PROCEDURES TESTS, names etc. it gets worse. My dad was moved around 3 times and he was admitted immediately but was brought to a holding area in which no one in their right could find. It was 1230pm and the last time he saw a nurse was at 8. When I came back to the hospital I dealt with the rudest nurse on earth. Her name was Choi (sp?) The absolutely rudest nurse I have encountered. She asked me why do I want a dr when there are physician assistants yet no pa’s were around. Now there is a nurse by the name of Daniella. She is absolutely great but while her colleagues are sittings around and literally chilling she is manning the entire area. The PA Derrick was good but he asked Dr Mairaj Din the attendant never came and then they literally just kept blowing us off. I have more to say. But I will handle with the hospital. Just don’t go!!

Waited 9 HOURS to be seen with a torn tendon. Doctor came for maybe 2 minutes. turns out i needed an MRI right away as i had a complete tear which they mis-diagnosed as partial tear. Because of this i couldn't safely have surgery because reopening the wound could cause infection. And at one point i was simply waiting for them to come with my discharge papers which they took maybe an hour with so i decided to get on my crutches and walk out, THEN they came running with my papers instantly. Pathetic. I now walk with a limp. Oh and my trip cost $1000. Great Day

The worst bed side manners from this hospital. I gave up going to Jamaica hospital for this place. I came in from an accident at 8pm. One EMS staff left after dropping off a patient and came back hours later. And I was still there. Also they do is move your bed from for one wall to another. And leave you in the hallway. No one had an answer and no one knows anything when you ask questions. Dr finally saw me. He was very nice. A RN name Stephanie was suppose to give me an aspirin. She wanted to take urine sample for pregnancy test first , even when I told her I’m not pregnant. Claim it’s policy. When I did. That was it. She never came back to me, kept passing me the entire time . The DR finally came back and was asking if my X-rays were done. I said no. And I still have a throbbing headache. He told one nurse to get me there. She said she don’t do that.. left me there while I’m watching the guy who was taking folks to X-ray n Ct scan walk around with papers in his hands. All these staff members did was walk around with papers in their hands. Acting busy. And planning where to meet up for a party.😏 Around 4am, I had to start making noise in order to get a dr to read my X-ray. I was in so much pain, and a headache. I didn’t hear anything she said.. I wants sour..

The endoscopy center is amazing. The entire staff was wonderful and the facility was spotless. Upon entering i was very nervous and lucy at the front counter made me laugh and forget why I was there. My whole proceedure went smooth from start to finish. I highly recommend them.

If I can give this place 0 stars I definitely would. I had a c-section on 12/14 during my stay they provided my boyfriend with a bloody blanket. My newborn was choking on his spit and I called for the nurse while my boyfriend tried to handle the situation (this is both our first child, we have no experience) my son started to turn purple and my boyfriend called the nurses again after waiting for a minute for them to come. After the second call and my boyfriend told them he was turning purple they then rushed in. On 12/20 I came to the emergency room at 5:40pm because my c-section incision was infected and I had spiked a fever and there was a foul smell coming from the incision. I waited in the emergency room for almost 3 hours to get a CT scan I then waited a few more hours to be told I needed to be admitted into the hospital because I have an abscess in front of my bladder and they would need to do a procedure on me in the morning. I could not eat until after the procedure. After a few more hours I was moved into a short stay room and then was moved at 4:30AM to my actual room. After a whole 12 hours of waiting they finally placed me in a room. But I was not given any pillows, they gave me towels to use. When I did look for pillows in the room they were bloody and stained. Why keep them in the room? I had to call the nurses station 3 times and wait over an hour and a half for them to bring me sanitary napkins since I had no personal belongings with me and was still bleeding from my c-section (mind you have been in the hospital now for almost 14hrs) I also had to share a bathroom with a male who left his urine bowl in the bathroom. There was no shower to wash up in the room. I had to use the community shower which had leftover napkins, shower wash, gowns, and hair. In the afternoon my nurse came and told me that I can eat, meaning the procedure was no longer happening. After waiting 24hrs since my last meal and anticipating for my procedure I was told it would most likely happen tomorrow but the radiology team would come in and talk to me. The radiology team never came and explained what is going on and what happened to the procedure. It wasn’t until a doctor came in and said she saw the radiology team came and spoke to me and I explained to her nobody came and I have no idea what’s going on. I was told by the doctor they had put a note in they had spoke to me. The consensus was that I would no longer need the procedure and be taking antibiotics for the next few days. This hospital is disgusting, dirty, and unprofessional. Please avoid coming here at all costs.

I came here once to the ER a long time ago and it was amazing but now its soooo horrible in the ER. They did a lot of testing and even though I had chills, a fever, headache, and nauseated they had no diagnosis for me but one of the viral infections in the world... You can tell some of there nurses and doctors are new and unexperienced. Took them forever to give me something for the fever. They gave me a covid test and shoved it so far and hard down my nose that it hit the back wall and bent!!! Yes it bent! Thats not normal as I had the test done twice already before my surgery and that same day at another doctor. Then they left all these plug in stickers on my chest and side and as well took the IV needle out of my arm so recklessly and didn't even put pressure on it so I bled fully through the cotton where I had to have them change it. And the best yet the resident doctor saying "this happens..." ummm no it doesn't it only happens if you don't do it properly. This place is getting worse and worse.

This has been the worst experience of being a hospital ever .My Dad had surgery we were told the doctors and speak to us after I’m still waiting three days later .My dad was moved to a new room all of his belongings were lost and or stolen . So at 84 he has no phone, clothes,and they lost his glasses. This is not acceptable. No one cares or calls you back. You can’t go up to be with your loved ones and now we can’t talk to him. We asked for the phone we pay $10 a day for to be in his reach, I guess that’s to much to ask. And the tv is on but no glasses to watch. WORST EVER. No one cares.

My wife is 22 weeks pregnant. She fills unwell today. I take her lij emergency. Me and my sick wife 6 hours waiting here still they saying we are bottom list. I don’t know what is emergency? What there service.?

Went to the Emergency Room, where I went through triage and then was told I was in the wrong place for what I needed. I never entered the area with the beds, never saw a Dr but yet I was billed for the ER visit and was billed for a Dr that I never saw .

Terrible follow up. I went in for fever and extreme exhaustion no flu. They took me in for TB isolated me after 3 days when the test came back negative to TB they spat me out and released me with any proper follow up. I’m disgusted. Why is this hospital suppose to me so amazing. When I have called for the tests results that were not back when I checked out. I have been on the phone for 1.5 hour and then line get disconnected. What kind of a crazy place is this. They did what they wanted to for department of health and Tb guidelines and did nothing for me. Shame on you even the next endo appointment that I’m suppose to see ina week is 4 weeks out. Messed up. Be ware of this please !!

My dad got admitted .. the hospital only allowed one visitor... but what the fail to let the me know over the phone, that it will have to be the same person to visit my dad ... now remember this ..I have to work..and mom have to work and only my brother will be visiting... we asked if my mom can go and then my brother will be the one to visit the next day they said no... now that do not make any sense... bcuz not the same family member can make it every day that my dad is there... not only that i called amd ask to speak to the provider..guess what no one ever called me...its crazy ... if it was up to me...I wont go.

This hospital is the worst. The night shift forget about it … no nurse or any staff member to b found 🙄 My mother was there for two months and was treated horrible. The staff was very inconsiderate of her condition my mother is on blood thinners and instead of them being careful wit the bandages they was ripping off her bandages from where the Iv was placed causing her skin to tear . also there is no communication within doctors and staff. They would come and ask the same questions and recommend different procedures to b down without viewing her chart to begin with😒 If u think this hospital is good believe me u would b fooled like I was… And on top of that they ask inappropriate and unnecessary questions that have nothing to do with her health. Im glad my mother is out of this place but they are horrible here. Consider a different hospital.

The experience in the Medical Center is terrible. I will not go to the center again and will not recommend my friends to here for the following two reasons. 1. Billing issues. I have very good insurance, I only need to pay copayment and I paid copayment while in the medical center. After my kid was discharged from the medical center, I should not own anything to the Medical center. But I received tens of call and letters from them to ask me pay for copay and medical fees. I have call them many times to solve this issue. They always asked me to provide the evidence of copayment. I have made payments in hospital and send copay receipt to them. After each call they told me that the issues is solved and I don’t own anything to the medical center. But I continued to receive bills from them. I also received the letter from debt collector in behavior of the medical center. I don’t want to be stuck in the billing issues from the medical center again and will not go to the center again. 2. Healthy issue. After my kid was discharged from the medical center, my kid have very serious symptoms in the same day. We went to another emergency room. The doctor in another emergency room told us the situation of my kid is very dangerous. My kid stay in that hospital for several days receiving good treatment. Overall, the patient was discharged from the emergency room of the medical center while patient was still in dangerous. This is totally unacceptable for a medical center.

I give this hospital 5 stars. I met some of the most efficient and well rounded nurses ever. They were pleasant and handled tough individuals very well. I was admitted in the ER at 10:30am and was out by 5pm. I will definitely be changing all my medical needs to LIJ.

I just don’t understand why is it call an emergency room? Walked in signed in and waited for 2 hrs… after that they brought us to the wellness center waited there for another 3 hours it’s by far the worse.. doctor came to see my cousin she was amazing… however we waited for another 1hr for an ultra sound it’s really horrible… after I didn’t see anyone come back to the room I looked OUTSIDE OF THE ROOM THERE WAS No one TO BE FOUND IN THE WELLNESS AREA!!!! HORRIBLE HORRIBLE!!! Luckily I saw a nurse coming in an ask for help… she even radio in a said there is no one here this is ridiculous!!! I understand there is changing of shifts, but you cannot let people sit for hours and hours there has to be a better way to this hospital everything is a long long process which I see no reason for!!!!!!!

So bad service. Im here for my preagnency pain 6 hours waiting still they saying me im at bottom list. I don’t know when I see the doctor.

The emergency room took good care of me. I was admitted to 6th floor for 6 days. The nurses were great especially nurse Carol. My anxiety was so bad but no one helped me with it. Also didn't give me any answers. Now went for a follow up and doctor gave me different answers Then the ones I'm hospital now I am scared. I would think that all tests and blood work they would check everything. . . Most doctors don't care about you only money Now my anxiety worse. Told to make appointment asap cant even get in touch. Also the nurse in the ENT office was amazing. This made me realize why I am terrified of doctors.Been trying to get a pcp and only have appointments available in January

Hospital staff nurses killled my dad because of ignorance.😩

These ppl let me starve for 17 hours before they even started to do any procedures. No good.

Only to be in severe pain, be transferred to This hospital from Urgent Care with a serious health scare ...only to wait in pain for 4hrs... What is the point! Someone will die in the waiting room while the nurses and PA's talk about how long they've been at the hospital, laughing, and joking!! Don't Go heree unless you want to DIE!

Was approved for surgery 3 weeks ago not one person from personal has gotten back to me it’s a very nice hospital but when I cal them they tell me to hold on they are on a personal phone call on there cell phone the only true professional woman there was Chantelle

Nurses and social worker ARE not concern of my mothers well being for the last 6 days out family has been asking for a Spanish social worker to translate since we can not go inside and no-one has return our phone calls poor service!

The emergency room gave me a hard time but once I got to the overflow to wait for a room for over 7 hours the Nurse Mathew Nappi is so caring and professional. He made sure that my sister was well taking care of providing all the medications and everything she needed. Not only attentive to us but every other patient that was under his care. He deserves a raise and 5 stars!!!

They saved my mother's life in February2014. My mother had a pulmonary embolism at the age of 78. She was in agony when we arrived in the ER. They found a blood clot lodged in her lungs that had traveled up from her leg. They admitted her, the clot resolved with care, and they also found that a medication she was taking was the likely cause of the formation of the blood clot that formed in her leg. Had the doctors, nurses, and other medical professionals been hasty my mom would have perished from a heart attack. If they had not reserached the cause of the clot after it had resolved, she might have formed more clots and died later. They took her off of that medication. I THANK GOD for the kind, competent, and conscientious medical professionals at this hospital. Mom is still going strong. Thank you!

I recently had a knee replacement surgery in this hospital. My heart is filled with gratitude for the staff of the hospital who work tirelessly and trying to meet all the needs of the patient and keeping them comfortable. God bless LIJ. God bless Dr Vijay Rasquinha and his team.

Worst experience and received a ridiculous bill. I brought my toddler here because his pediatrician said he needed an IV because he was vomiting and dehydrated. She called ahead and spoke with a Dr. there who would take us in earlier. We arrived and waited for almost 5 hours only to be seen by a PA for 5 minutes. My son was given nausea medication, Pedialyte, and then discharged. He didn't even receive the IV which was the whole reason we went in the first place. We received a bill two weeks later for $2500, and that's not even including the separate physician bill. I would highly recommend going to an UC or a different hospital.

Labor & delivery nurses were amazing and kind. Unfortunately, some of the postpartum nurses were rude & lack compassion. I asked if I can get more formula for my baby at 3am, 5am, & 6am but she didn’t bring it to me, she later told me she’s switching her shift so I should ask the morning nurse which is very unprofessional! I called at 7am and asked for formula and they told me someone will come up to bring it to me. My baby was hungry & crying and I’m not producing breast milk at the moment so I felt very stressed & overwhelmed as a new mom. My heart felt so broken and I wanted to cry. Also, the nurses kept pushing me to breastfeed passive aggressively. Of course I want to breastfeed but that wasn’t the case for me. I would only have very tiny milk trying to pump for few hours straight and because of that I would feel very guilty and frustrated. Finally someone bought me the formula for my baby at 8:30am. I shouldn’t need to ask so many times and it shouldn’t take this long to feed my baby. Mind you, newborn eat every 2 hours. This was very upsetting.

Worst hospital

Good enough really! Has available doctors compared to queens, elmhurst and jamaica hospital. Everything seems better compared to the rest.

The emergency room service staff do more gossiping than helping family members get to the right. All tall big African American girl who was with patient transport service staff member had made a comment about my body as I was walking out. This isn’t the type of atmosphere you want when your family is in their care. It seems the emergency surrounding staff treat their job like retail casually gossiping. But the real qualified people like rn and doctors were pleaseant.

Aug 24.2020 I was at my friend house and I had appointment in elmhurst for check up but I was close to Long Island Jewish hospital I went there sign papers and I was going through labor pains and I had all my paper works from my appointment and things like that they look at it and tell me they can’t help me since I don’t have no record from their hospital they said I was only 2 cm dilated and they can’t do nothing cause it “early labor “ so they told me sign the to go papers and go to elmhurst I had wait for an hour going throw back to back labor pains crying and yelling at my boyfriend outside the hospital until we go someone to come pick us up. Then driving over to elmhurst hospital instead of my appointment cause I was getting intense. Once I got to elmhurst hospital they said I was 4 cm dilated. They ask how long I been feeling these pain I told them what this hospital did they said it was super wrong what they done to me. I literally was so mad at this hospital for no taking care of me. I literally had my daughter August 24.2020 at 11:45pm I had my beautiful daughter. Never will go to this hospital there are horrible. They don’t care about their patients at all. Never have your baby at this hospital. Can someone tell me what I can do to report this hospital because I was actually going into labor and they didn’t want help me. They kicked me and my boyfriend out from the hospital and left me outside in pain with me crying and yelling saying it hurts.

I had the worst experience at this hospital. I've been having pains in my chest due to my gallbladder and because my kid is so demanding I have not been able to take care of it. I finally forced myself to go to the er and being in months of pain, and Dr. Tan in the er had the nerve to harass me and ask me multiple times what I expected by coming to the er this day. I never felt more humiliated and upset in my entire life. It felt like I was the target of some kind of prank. If you find yourself in the er and Dr.Tan walks in, please ask.for another doctor who will take you seriously and actually do their JOB. extremely unpleasant experience and I hope the Healthcare system changes or that so.e doctors have to pass an empathy test. I would not wish this experience on my worst enemy.

I got my C section done here because I thought it was the best of the best. However, the doctors did not even offer my husband to cut umbilical cord, some of the nurses were so aggressive with the needles and to top it all when I was leaving the hospital I wasn’t even offered a wheel chair nor was I even seen by nurse with my departure

I can’t speak for the rest of the hospital, but I went into their psych er. The intake was really good and quick. The nurse at the front desk was really courteous and thorough. The guy who took me in was pretty cool too. The staff makes this place what it is. That’s about where the good things end. The psych ER is nasty. Has old, blue painted metal doors. There was toilet paper hanging out of the garbage can of the main waiting area that I presume had poop on it. They have rooms with beds (which are like a thin mattress with no pillows) they have tv’s with cable in it. I was frustrated because they wouldn’t let me see a psychiatrist until my blood tests came back after an hour. And I was told I might not be able to see a psychiatrist if I took my medication, “because I might be sedated” so the best I could do is drink water and watch tv. The psychiatrist on staff was really nice and down to earth. Long story short, the place needs serious updating like Zucker Hillside or even Cohen’s, but the staff made the trip not completely terrible.

I was a patient at this hospital for a full week with extremely painful/persistent vomiting, inflammation of the throat and colon, and frankly the related emotional distress that the pain and sickness was causing me. I also suffer from bipolar disorder, seizures and chronic migraines. The nursing staff and doctors were incredibly kind, patient, and knowledgeable both with my personal situation and my conditions. Both my main doctors and my rotating nurses (including my specialty staff) came to check on me regularly and answered all my questions and concerns with empathy and experience. I was not an easy patient to deal with, but they never belittled me or dismissed my problems, even when I know I was being irrational and acting out of fear for my health. They were actually able to give a name and a treatment plan to something I thought was just going to be a mysterious problem for the rest of my life (this has happened before in the form of random bouts of extreme nausea/vomiting, which lead me to cyclical vomiting syndrome that I can now get preventative measures for). I highly recommend this place for both personal reasons and for loved ones. I think if I was treated any less than I was there I would have had a complete break down, and I was treated with nothing but respect and care, bless my staff and the people involved in my health ❤️

My mother died of Covid last year the way they treated myself,sister and family was atrocious to say the least. Words couldn't even explain how we were treated. My poor mother died alone with no one by her side no one advocating for her. This whole pandemic the hospital just did what they wanted. I would rather die on the street before I would be brought here.

Treat patients terrible specially Elderly patients I’m disgusted with the staff here

New York can show the slyle of the metropolis

If I can give this hospital a 0 I would. They need to fix up there system on how to attend to patients. Yesterday I got there 6:30 pm and didn’t leave out of there till 1:30am they took for ever to come see me. I had to go up to the front desk and ask the staff what’s going on why I haven’t been seen? They had me in a room for over 2 hours and no one ever came to see me . Once I said something doctors started to come they assumed I had the flue they then sent me to X ray never got seen . 2 people came after me the were seen that’s when I lost my patients . Then I asked the lady that works there why is it taking so long ? Her response was that the doctor didn’t put the x ray order. Which makes no sense cuz the doctor was the one that walked me to the x ray room. Make the long story short never got the x rays done the doctor comes to tell me they can’t do it cuz the pregnancy test came back positive. Now they have me waiting 2 hours more for blood work to be done. And 3 hours to get the results to confirm pregnancy. I will never in my life come here again . I rather go to Jamaica hospital or NY presperterian in the city. This place will let u die waiting. They didn’t even give me a IV and I had a high feaver body acs throwing up all day. DO NOT WAST YOUR TIME COMING TO THIS SHIT HALL!!!!!!!!

The nurses and doctors treat their patients with respect and care. I always visit here. It's a preference over any other hospitals. My only complaint is parking for the emergency room patients; they let you park in the allocated parking lot but once you leave even for 5 minutes to get food or anything else they do not let you in. The security guard told me because the patient is already inside the hospital I cant park there anymore. Now I have to go find parking on the streets in 10 degrees weather and walk 2 miles back to the emergency room with food that will be frozen by then. If I had known that I would have never left the parking lot. They should have signs to let us know what bull$h*t to expect when we leave and return.

Excellent experience great service and great place

Usually the nicest place to go for decent care, this hospital is home to my daughter's health history as she is a Sickler. She arrived at five am Valentine's Day and was stationed in the ER until 3am the next day. Riddled in pain and needing a pain pump to begin to get pain relief, she was treated so poorly. As the hospital was full she was stationed In the hallway. She was alone, in pain an video called both myself and her aunt. Trying to console her as she was crying, I was prevy to hear her doctor treat her like garbage. He aggresively included her of videoing the hospital. She told him it was a video call with her Mom and aunt. He passed again, on the phone I heard him again taunting and threatening to take her phone as if she was a child or criminal. When I went to see her a few hours later, about eight thirty pm, I introduced myself an sout clarity to earlier behaviors. He confirmed that video calls were allowed but he was going to take her phone. I am convinced that the rude, degrading and Dan attempt to justify his poor behavior leaves me to think that possibly a jail/prison would s match Dr. David Marcus's behavior. I am not sure if his behavior was due to my daughter being black or he im not needing to care for sick people needing compassionate and caring behavior.

My family really loves that place!

Uh so I went there like in April of 2019 and basically I’ve been having like lightheadedness going on.So me and my mom we went to hospitals trying to find answers like Plainview hospital,Nassau medical center but they couldn’t find answers so we went here and I had to stay basically over night and they just said it could be a virus but it wasn’t they did blood work and stuff but didn’t Find nothing until my mom found out it’s my anxiety which means I basically have severe anxiety that needs to be treated but my doctor hasn’t prescribed me with meds yet.We went to the children’s hospital and it’s really good there and also really busy um but it’s a great hospital :)

I am writing this review on behalf of my sister Sidra who underwent a surgery yesterday and was assisted by Karina as her caregiver who happened to be of absolute help. Karina was really kind and cooperative, my sister was satisfied with her visit yesterday.

Thank you so much for great help

This place is a joke I never seen this anywhere. They have sick ppl all over the hallways . They have Nurses just sitting there instead of doing the small stuff like starting IVS and taking blood . Too many ppl supervising and not enough working! Basically they just pass the job to next person ! Never again

*Unacceptable way of charging clients* I went to Long Island Jewish Medical Center in October 2022 to have a baby. On the day the baby was born, a lady came to our room saying we cannot leave the hospital without paying for the copay of the insurance (which was over $2,000). We thought: "Well, it's not a very nice way to treat patients but ok, at least we leave here with our bills paid". Since then we have received COUNTLESS letters for us to pay more money for the same hospital visit. Initially, they even wanted to charge us for the amount we had already paid, and we have received more and more letters saying there were some other pending charges. Completely unacceptable behavior, and I recommend to everyone that has an annual income of under $1Million a year to not visit the hospital.

반드시 세컨드 진료를 받으십시요

Horrible wait time, These employees do not care about client needs/opinions. I simply do not like coming to the hospital, You would think they would actually do there job but ofcourse its all about Money…Thats clear as day, I asked a nurse if she could take my urine and she said she doesnt know how to do that like what…Someone is always suppose to take the urine or atleast advise you where to place it. I do not appreciate the service at all, I understand being patient but the wait is honestly unfair and uncalled for. Wont ever come back here let alone any hospital, I rather die if it comes down to it because its stupid !

I take my father to this hospital frequently and i found the experience with doctors and nurses to be excellent from intake to discharge. I recently took my father to another hospital and the service was so bad that i had to write a review of this hospital Thank you for taking very good care of my father when he's in your care.. God bless you all.

We would like to thank the doctors and nurses who took good care of my mom; especially Christine Gaynor❤

Staff is rough and untimely. Go elsewhere if you value your life.

900 Franklin Ave emergency room. Doctor Watkins(F) was beyond wonderful!!!!! Nurse Faith she’s amazing! The patient transport guy sorry I can’t remember his name is was very nice, friendly… the sonography sorry I can’t remember her name she was wonderful as well. I felt as if I was family, staff member. My experience was better than my hospital I work for… wonderful people I came across that night. Thank you all. Sadly the ER receptionist was the worst experience. Light skin a little chubby… the attitude!!!!! Was too much

Summer 2022: My mom spent 53 days of the summer as a patient of 4South. She was sent to the ER from her neurologist because there were so many things that could've been wrong. The ER ended up overcrowded and all visitors were forced to leave and it was poor communication in trying to get an update. It was near impossible to get ahold of the nurse assigned to her care in the ER at that time(and because she was so disabled, she could not use her phone so calling the ER was the only mode of contact). My mom was in the ER for a long time and because of her disability was able to get fed a jello and applesauce. When she was moved to an impatient room, Dr. Wang was the overseeing primary doctor and he was very compassionate about the nerve pain she was having and first tried her on Motrin and when that was unsuccessful, within a day he prescribed her a painkiller that he continued to renew through most of the stay. It took about 10-12 days to diagnose her rare condition. Dr. Cary Buckner, the neurologist on her case was excellent in his care, explanations, and even reaching out to me allowing me to be involved in her care plan when I was not physically there at the hospital to be involved in the conversations. Dr. Buckner also wrote down relevant information and put it somewhere I could find it because she could not hold onto the papers herself. Dr. Buckner started her on a nerve pain medication which helped and increased the dose as tolerated and checked in to make sure there were no adverse side effects and was thorough with his physical exams. Rheumatology was brought in and after determining the diagnosis a treatment plan was formulated. The puree diet was not good but once she was approved for solid foods(had to pass a swallowing test since she was having swallowing/neck issues), the food improved substantially. Surprisingly the food not only had a decent variety even being on the DASH diet and was able to get a nice quantity of food at each meal and most of it was very good to restaurant quality(as opposed to "typical hospital food"). Through the hospital stay most of the nurses were outstanding and would like to especially commend from the night shift: Diamani "Dia", Chinazam "Kam", and Aviva and from the day shift Alexandra. PCA Maryse was excellent both in taking blood(which was almost a daily occurrence) as well as making sure my mom was taken care of continence-wise and seeing if extra blankets/sheets was needed for either of us(since I stayed the night with her most nights) and went above and beyond. PCA Velta was excellent in giving a thorough spongebath and listened to where she couldn't be touched due to her nerve pain. However given that my mom's hands did not work at all, there was a poor communication that she needed to be fully fed all of her meals and Velta was the only PCA that did not need to be told this. The staff just seems egregiously understaffed(or an overwhelming patient to nurse and especially PCA ratio) and at times especially at night the call response time was poor or someone would just come in and cancel the bell without checking in. At discharge, things took a downward spiral. The social work department was pitiful and only sees patients as a number(something the social worker as much as said to my mom) and she was not given the ability to be involved in her discharge plan and was forced to a rehabilitation center and the social worker submitted approval request to her insurance company to a rehab that my mom had not approved of. My mom was told if she refused to go to the rehab they had selected for her, she would be given a 24 hour notice to vacate and felt like she was treated really poorly with no empathy and had no rights and was a very difficult time for her. If she did not follow the forced plan of rehab, she would not receive discharge papers with her outpatient instructions/plan. She was under the impression that she had a choice where to go post-discharge but she saw that was not the case and felt out of control.

8 South is a piece of Heaven on earth. There are true angles working there. RN Lauren, RN LaToya . RN Deidre and many others showed concern and compassion to my mom as if it was there own flesh and blood. What a comfort to our family. Thank you thank you thank you.

I visited the hospital twice in May 2023. The doctors and nurses were very caring, kind and professional. I was so comfortable wit them. My questions were answered, bedside manners were great. I received prompt service in the ER, over the staff are very great. I love this hospital. ❤❤🙏

You would think accommodations for families would be better in the MICU during stressful situations but staff are OPENLY taking seating from patient’s rooms, used for loved ones visiting and staying overnight. Absolutely unprofessional behavior by both nurse manager Sydney and staff who’re unwilling to accommodate for the comfort of families during times of crisis, making an already terrible situation even more stressful.

My stay as an critically injured patient in this particular hospital was nothing but sufficient and efficient in every aspect with the upmost professionalism and respect a patient can endure. From Doctors aswell as the nursing staff and housekeeping to the food service industry shown nothing but care and concern and much respect. This professionalism went throughout all shifts around the clock. So i thank all members who made me feel comfortable as my needs were met to the fullest. Again i thank you all who i have also made friends with while there. So big thumbs up to Long Island Jewish Medical Center for making md feel welcome.

My grandfather was admitted to the hospital for esophageal cancer surgery on 8/18/20. He needed to be hospitalized for a week after the operation. He was well taken care of during this period. I am especially grateful for the professionalism of Siobhan Mccann RN SCCU. Her energy and patience made me feel relieved knowing he was in good hands.

Outstanding medical services and great staffs

I was born here, so that's kinda cool.

I was admitted into the emergency with pain in my side. I knew it was inside. The Dr told me it was a skin problem I said no it was not skin it was inside me. The lady Dr did listen to me Nor did she Xray CAT scan me. She gave me Cortizone cream (blink blink). Two weeks later still in pain I went to Jamaica Emergency Dept. They listened to me Did a CAT scan found out I had a 13½ cm Cyst on my Liver It has since been removed Dec 22. I do not rate this hospital they did not do a thorough investigative job. I was told a similar story by someone else too......

I mean I guess its near by....The few times Ive taken my 10 year old over the last few years it was okay the children's side. When My son was born there in 2009 it was a real dump looks nice now.

I was brought to the ER three years ago after experiencing a seizure and was treated okay. Nurses were caring but didn't get to speak to the doctor as much. Food could use improvement and facility could use a cleaning.

Hospital just looks and sounds good, in real its not! We had to wait for 4 hours for our turn in emergency, what kind of emergency is that?!!??! The patient was really sick and they could do nothing, they need to hire more staff in emergency.

One of the best experience I’ve ever had! RN Nick was amazing. Very detailed and clean. He’s also very soft and cares about his patients.

I came to the emergency room at new Hyde park location on November 23rd 2020 for chest pains and pains down my left arm and left side of my face and they told me I had to wait that’s not right I could die and they told me to wait this service is horrible they care nothing for the black patients I’m a person of color but the white guy after me got seen before me and he wanted a covid test how crazy is that

(Translated by Google) All good (Original) Todo bien

DON’t COME HERE!!! The worst hospital for ER. My husband took my son and we’re waiting over 5 hours to be seen.

I been going for long time this facility was great doctors and now is only a number they come bunch of people every now yo problem and after the doctor yes one minute try to brush it of pacients so sad only cares about the money

Due to corona virus entering the facility and welcoming wasn’t great but once I was moved to my labor room, service was quite nice. I’m very pleased with the treatment of couple nurses. I’ve to mention one of them “YAN CHIN.”. She went out of her way to support me through out her whole shift, I’m vey great full. Thanks to her I was able to rest for a bit since I had no support person. she was the biggest support.
