I wish zero stars was an option; "not good" doesn't begin to describe this ER or hospital. I went…read moreone evening last fall after food got stuck in a lung, unable to fully breathe on one side & fearing it would go lower. Having only accompanied my wife here before & disliking them then, autopilot took over & we ended up there despite knowing better. After hours waiting in a panic, they took blood work--for a foreign object, which felt like bill-padding. The ER was chaotic & staffed almost entirely by unsupervised residents & RNs. A resident asked questions, reported to an attending I never saw, & ordered a CT scan. Afterward, I was abruptly told in passing they planned to admit me. Per standard protocol, removing a foreign object via pulmonology is an outpatient procedure unless complications arise. I explicitly refused. In response, both resident & nurse said they'd only coordinate w/ pulmonologists if I agreed to hospitalization because it was "easier for them." Facing an active foreign object, I was subjected to blatant coercion--they held my care hostage. I was then forced to interact w/ a Floor 7 resident to prepare for admission, then a PA who did a brief exam, both using the exact same script: "we can only help if you do things our way." Distressed, I succumbed. Yet they left me sitting in the ER until 4-5 AM waiting for an unnecessary bed. Upstairs, exhausted & hooked to an unnecessary IV, I coughed continuously until the food came unstuck. I notified the night RN, who photographed it but claimed the pulmonologist might still insist on the procedure "just to be safe." I revoked consent for any procedure & demanded IV removal. The nurse refused using the same excuse, but I insisted, knowing day shift would claim to be "too busy." Irritated, he removed it but bandaged it so loosely that blood soaked my elbow--a failure of basic nursing. When the day RN arrived, I stated I was leaving. A resident pulmonologist checked my lungs, confirmed I was fine, but said he had to check w/ his attending. I reiterated I wouldn't consent to further procedures or diagnostic padding. Shortly after, an attending appeared for a 60-sec interaction--my ONLY encounter w/ a fully licensed physician. When he mentioned checking back around 11 AM, I said I was leaving immediately. Stunned, he walked out. Next, an unidentified staff member walked in &, in barely intelligible English, demanded a chest X-ray. I refused & she left. Despite the RN's assurances that discharge paperwork was being prepared, nothing happened, so I left. On my way to the elevator, I told the RN as a courtesy; she begged for 15 mins to check on preventive antibiotics. After waiting, another staff member shoved a folder at me, rudely said "no" regarding meds, & I escaped. Billing: They billed insurance $20k+ for the ER, forced admission, CT, & "physician services" (PA care). Insurance officially denied all admission charges as medically uncalled for. The hospital disputed for 7-8 months until insurance issued a final denial for the stay. The hospital backed down & billed only my $200 ER copay--saving me $1,000+ in admission co-insurance.

If you're a Type 1 diabetic, proceed with caution at this Brooklyn location. In my experience, I…read morewas left with a median blood sugar around 230 for three days, and I did not feel the team treated that as seriously as they should have. I also had concerns about how staff communicated with and referred to patients. A lead nurse referred to patients of a different race, ethnicity, or background as "these people," which I found inappropriate and concerning. It made me question whether patients are fully protected from bias, discrimination, or unequal treatment at this location. Managing Type 1 diabetes requires careful monitoring and urgency. Based on my experience, I did not feel confident that my condition was monitored or addressed at the level it deserved. I would strongly recommend that Type 1 diabetics ask detailed questions about diabetes management, patient advocacy, and escalation procedures before receiving care here.

Here I go anyway…read more While navigating healthcare in the United States of America generally is, and probably always will be, an absolute nightmare, all of the personnel and staff I've dealt with (with only a few exceptions) at NYP Brooklyn Methodist have been outstanding. I became a patient in the Advanced Maternal Fetal Medicine department after my pregnancy became complicated, and every doctor I met with exerted an impressive level of care, patience, and compassion as we navigated a very frightening and emotional experience. Our baby was ultimately delivered early but totally healthy- and all staff in the labor & delivery unit and mother / baby unit were also wonderful. We now have follow-up appointments regularly with pediatric speech and OT. Not only are the therapists extremely kind and wonderful to work with, they are helpful with scheduling appointments, insurance navigation, and referrals. The quality of human beings working at NYP is exceptional, and I only hope they are granted the compensation, the support, and a work environment that allows them to continue doing excellent work for their patients and community.

My father, who was a patient, experienced extremely poor treatment during his stay at Interfaith…read moreMedical Center. He was repeatedly neglected by staff by not giving him the pain medication in a timely manner, left in a hot, poorly ventilated room with no working air conditioning on that 3rd floor, and denied basic requests like ice water to relieve himself from the heat for hours. Staff also left unused medical equipment (syringes and needles) on his eating table, creating a serious health hazard. At one point, he was locked in a room with an irate dementia patient after the nurse walked out, held the door closed and refused to open the door -- even as my father yelled and banged on the wall for help. Visitors, including his wheelchair bound family member, had to beg staff to take action. Overall, his care was marked by neglect, unsafe conditions, and a lack of respect or urgency from hospital staff. No patient -- especially a vulnerable one -- should be treated this way.

I was pleased and relieved because it was nothing like I imagined. The staff was caring and attentive and had a good sense of humor (my mother can be a bit feisty.) She was always clean and well fed and seemed to make friends with the other patients fairly easily as they made sure she had dinner in the dining room and did different activities such as bingo and arts & crafts. The only concern I had was with her "roommates" as she didn't have a private room, but the staff made sure she was safe and comfortable. The pretty much did everything for her, as far as administering her medication, washing clothes, daily hygiene and rehabilitation. I have no complaints and I'm glad I found such a safe place for my mom to be while she was ill.

About two years ago I had an emergency and revisited. I was terrified of what to expect. Let me tell you, THINGS HAVE CHANGED! FOR THE BETTER! MUCH BETTER! Everything including wait time, was like chalk and cheese! So different. I've been attending this hospital somewhat regularly as this is also now my primary care clinic. Dr. S. Nainan my PCP is a wonderful Doctor. Even if it's via a zoom call, my concerns are immediately addressed. I feel heard. I feel respected. I am properly cared for. From reception to attendants, security, technicians, office staff, and medical team, they ALL care for me so well! Special mention MUST BE MADE of E. Mantel. That lady goes above and beyond ALWAYS! Words cannot express my appreciation for the entire team at Orthopedics. On another note I used to run from needles. I used to be deathly afraid of them. Now, now having my blood taken by the lab at KCH and getting vaccinated is all a breeze. A BREEZE I TELL YOU! I look forward to the needles because the Nurses are professional and I don't feel a thing! One time when I was sick and frustrated (you know how it goes when you're under the weather and grumpy), the Nurse treated me so lovingly I felt as if I was in my mummy's arms. I started to cry. Tears of release and gratitude for the care I received. I'll continue to share about my experiences here because they need to be recognized for their outstanding service to our community. An important thing to consider is this is also (for want of a better phrase) a "One Stop Shop". Whether it's an emergency, or blood work, medication, finance, MRI, x-rays, scan-all types, gynecology, Dexa scan, dental anything to do with your health and to avoid you having to trek all over the city just to complete a visit is available here. Thank you NYC Health + Hospital -Kings County! THANK YOU SO MUCH! The End.

Definitely had to explain the problem a million times but they eventually got the picture. So honestly 3/5 for the actual care. The 5/5 is for 2 things ... The absolutely STELLAR Caribbean (island) women holding this entire emergency room together! They are the hardest working people in the whole wing. The men i saw, wandering around hands in pockets, and the European (couldn't place the accent) nurses (x3) , absolutely clueless! But the Island Nurses y'all ladies deserve a raise for carrying the weight. I spend 12 hours in the emergency room so i can say this is an accurate assessment without a doubt.

I've taken the COVID-19 PCR test at different test sites around the city a few times now and am all…read moretoo familiar with the anxious feeling that comes between the time you take the test and when you get your results. I've been lucky to have been clued into sites that have a turnaround time of just 2 days so I haven't waited too long but I know of many folks who have waited as long as 14 days for theirs. I took a rapid PCR test here at this Crown Heights site and got my results back in a mere 2 hours. Everything about this process, from booking my appointment to entering the site, to getting my results back via online portal were incredibly straightforward and efficient, and I'd recommend anyone visit nyc.gov's rapid testing site page to find your nearest location if you need to get tested. 1218 Prospect Place is also the address for the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene but has now set up a special covid testing site. Once you're in the building you're asked to write your name and time of visit on a sheet of paper, and then you're walked over to a small room where they'll ask for your information, and some general questions like if you have any symptoms and if you've traveled internationally in the last week. I didn't love being in a small unventilated room with other people but they moved people in and out of that room relatively quickly. I was then walked into the room where I got tested, and I was swabbed and out of that room in just a couple of minutes. The process of getting tested at Bellevue Hospital was somewhat less nerve wracking since the hospital lobby where you wait in line is expansive with soaring high ceilings (we're talking 50-70 feet high) and the test itself takes place in an outdoor tent. Still the lines at Bellevue can be long and while getting tested there is usually about a 1 hour process, getting tested at this Crown Heights site was actually in total only a 15 minute process. It's also amazing that they can return results in hours because they're a small center and they have their own lab. I was emailed about my (negative!) results and I checked them via an online portal. Many thanks to the staff at this testing site for making this process as quick and painless as possible.

Like all the other reviews, this hospital is one of the worst. Also random stuff happened to me during my stay like a priest who wanted to pray with me, which is absurd. I tried to dismiss him and he wouldn't listen. Then another nurse who called herself nurse Lee kneed my neck and beat me up, leaving me with lots of bruises all over my body. The beatings led to a bloodbath with some nurses scratched and bleeding and my iPhone was drenched in blood. It was horrible. They also gave me peaches in every meal with a post it saying I'm allergic to peaches. How dare they. Also they took me to the radiology room and I was knocked out unconscious and was put out. I woke up to myself on the CAT scan machine which they did not let me know what they were doing to me. I felt like I was in a coma. Also I don't know what IV fluid injections they inject in me because I did not feel well afterwards. Now I'm traumatized to go to any hospital. I cannot believe this is how professional this hospital can be.
