Go somewhere else! I've been waiting on a special air mattress for my 95 year old bed bound mother for 4 days! This company used to be good, but has been taken over by a private equity firm. They don't care about people who are unwell, only cash! I'm stuck because of insurance, if you have a choice go elsewhere!!! read more

Horrible company as others have said. Completely unresponsive. My husband's BIPAP machine broke over the weekend and of course they are closed on the weekend-everyone knows that medical emergencies only occur on weekdays between 9-5. Hmm. No one has called me after I left several messages. Haven't seen a service technician in months. And yet they charge Medicare for their monthly service...-a pathetic sham of a company that adds insult to the severe injury of being old in America. Shame on this disgusting company and their loser employees. read more

I have to say I had my oxygen machine for close to 2 Years I suppose and the first time ever happened was the screaming alarm sound and they exchanged it promptly. Amazing though, this gentleman gave me some necessary information! For starters, I need to change the tubing at least every 2 to 3 weeks! Do you know I had the tubing on for over a year! When they originally brought the machine to me, they didn't explain anything to me! Mind you I hadn't been dependent on it until now that I'm getting constant upper respiratory infections. Anyway, the second time I needed a replacement machine was the same issue, alarm sound. They brought me a 5L instead of a 10L which I never looked at and by luck the alarm sound started again and they came to replace the machine and that's when the technician explained that my machine is a 10L and the one that they exchanged it with was a 5L and never knew! I'm at 4L! So anyway now I just called because the yellow light came on and I absolutely need my oxygen machine because I have yet another upper respiratory infection! This woman said, can you wait until tomorrow? "What"!!! I'm sitting here telling you I need it tonight and she said well maybe you can use the portable oxygen for tonight! "What"! That thing only operates for about an hour and then it has to be recharged! And it continues to put oxygen out, not as I breathe, who the hell can survive on that! First time ever I got upset with this company for real! I said no to both questions and explained I need it tonight! Then she said OK I'll have someone call you, a driver. Never had a problem with them other than they never explained anything about it for the first day! The driver hooked it up and left! I suppose I should have read the reviews a lot sooner! Well, again, l just have to sit wait! Good luck to the next person using this company! Have a blessed night. read more

THE ABSOLUTE WORST!!! I cannot believe this company deals in life saving supplies, because you will die waiting to receive the correct machinery. My mother's doctor has called them a few times, reading them the riot act and we STILL have not received the correct CPAP machine after almost 2 months! (The first one we received took forever, but was NOT the one the doctor ordered) When you call to get status on what your doctor ordered, they can't seem to find your order so they shift you from department to department and extreme wait times. I am on hold as we speak. They have no problem getting the co-pay out of you though! I gave up on the elevated toilet seat we ordered about 6 months ago, but the CPAP we desperately need... HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE!!! read more

Quite possibly the most inept company I've ever dealt with. My daughter depends on feeding supplies, and they always mess up the script. They have a habit of sending supplies we don't need (gauge tape, syringes) and not the items she needs. When something is out-of-stock, there's not heads up, it just shows up short after the frequent delay. These are medical supplies that people's lives depend on!!! If you need a dependable medical supply company, PLEASE LOOK ELSEWHERE!!! Community Surgical is completely incompetent and should get out of the business ASAP. read more

the worse company. hospital ordered semi bed to be delivered - waited all day for it and then showed up at midnight and driver didn't even know how to install it. had to have family members called and awoken in middle of night to help put together. then when it was time for pick up to return bed the driver was rude - after waiting all day he refused to park where he wouldn't get a ticket because it "didn't work for him" and just left without picking up bed. company never called to let me know what would happen next until I called them myself and still received horrible service. not at all good with customers from drivers to reps. would not recommend or use in future if needed ever again. read more

This is the worse company to deal with!! No customer service and no return calls from their billing company. You always get their voicemail and when you leave voicemail three times on three different dates but still don't get a return call within their stated 24 hours. Run from this company. They balance bill you after the insurance company has paid them the contracted fee. Isn't this illegal?!? and when the insurance company calls them, they too get voicemail. No one can seem to get a hold of a live person but they continue to send balanced bill invoices. read more

Customer service is abysmal and the products are consistently below standards. Always a headache to get services.

I have purchased c-pap supplies from this company for approx. 5 years. A few months ago they sent me the wrong tank for my machine. I called their office and spoke to a person who assured me she would send me a Return Address label. A label didn't arrive. I called twice more and the same results. I even tried to speak to a Manager and left a message. No response. So frustrating. The Customer Service at Community Surgical Supply is nonexistent. I will never use this company's services again. read more

I saw lots of bad reviews, but my nebulizer was delivered on the same date my doctor ordered from community surgical . I received a call at 9 pm and a text message indicating my nebulizer will be at my home at 9:50 pm. Wow , they worked at this late hour. I am impressed read more

After explaining what was happening with my machine t b e technician said it was operating properly and hung up the phone. I has been using my cpap for 14 years and know when something is not working. Now I'm forced to sleep without the aide of cpap. read more

This company was engaged by our doctor's office, and we did not think to read the reviews. After a very tough start, missed communications, issues with the correct masks and machines, their respiratory therapist came through. This review is for our visit from Stewart, the respiratory therapist. Stewart, came to our home, on time, he was informed about the problem and brought the necessary supplies, explained all my husband's issues, reviewed options, and came up with a feasible solution to my husband's particular needs. Stewart was kind, professional, knowledgeable, caring, and through. We remain skeptical after reading the reviews, when I went to post this one. Hope there are no problems with ongoing billing and supply delivery. We will certainly make our complaints known, if there are. read more

They dont have to care. They don't even have to send out the right supplies. Every month its an ongoing battle to get my correct BREATHING SUPPLIES! But they have the nys contract so they dont care about anything other than their check n pension being right. If you have any other choice of a company to use go to the other company!!!! read more

In my opinion Community Surgical Supply is about one step above a complete SCAM. The idea seems to be getting you on a never ending billing, then become IMPOSSIBLE to contact while your billing goes on and on and on. It took me over three months to get someone on the phone to attempt to get a piece of equipment picked up that I was lied to about, have never turned on and obviously did not need. Driver came a couple of days after delivering this and a larger piece of equipment to I thought pick up both. He LIED, said smaller piece had no cost to me and I should keep it in case of "emergency". Then the billings began. Then Community Surgical became unreachable. A telephone number on their invoice was even disconnected. I searched out other numbers. The most common result of a call was to follow an ungodly number of prompts, wait on hold for several minutes and then be disconnected. Today after reaching someone (after literally months of trying) they informed me that they had had several people relate the same problems. Anyway I told them I wanted the machine picked up, had NO intention of paying their bs invoices and if they had a problem with that we could go to court. She said she would connect me with "pick up". After 19 minutes on hold "pickup" answered. Funny how they seem to think it is no problem for me to plan to be at home all day waiting for their drivers call that he will be here within the hour to get machine. DO NOT attempt to do business with this company or you will be sorry. I fully expect to see them in court as I will not allow them to run their scam on me. As MONICA R. said in her review "I would give this company less than 0 stars if I could." So would I. Read hers and the reviews of others. This company is BAD, BAD, BAD!!! read more

I have been dealing with Community Surgical supply since leaving the hospital 3 months ago. I have ordered supplies no less than 5 times and still have not received the correct items. I have been waiting for filters for my Bipap machine for over 2 months now. I have been told they were out of stock then they were in stock and shipped, when they did not come, I called again and was told they never came in. They have to worse customer service I have ever experienced. Each time I called, I was transferred to another department, having to supply all my information again. This happened as many as 6 times, finally on the 7th transfer I was connected to someone who told me to call a different number. The latest thing is i called yesterday to have the Oxygen generators picked up since i do not need them any longer. I was told they would get picked up today and expect a call from the driver to verify the time. It is now 6:30 PM I have not heard from anyone, after wasting my day waiting. I would not recommend this company to anyone. They are rude, ignorant and uncaring for the people dependent on them for life saving devices. read more

You are the absolute worst company. I have been trying to return an oxygen tank(equipment) that my husband used. He has passed one year now. I have tried numerous times to reach you, because I know someone can benefit from it. No one has ever answered the phone. I am now calling and have been on the phone about an hour now, and all I am hearing is a sad music, no answer. You are just HORRIBLE. I am about to give it away or throw it out of my home. Enough of you all! read more

the worse supplier ever! they send you supplies that you don't want and charge you for it! i have had numerous conversations about my order and it falls on deaf ears! i have to find another supplier! horrible all the way through! i gave it one star because this would not post if no star was selected! but it doesn't deserve not one! read more

awful. get better service from a pizza delivery. I am completely disgusted that they are in a business of life saving needs.

I would really like to give this company zero stars. They billed me incorrectly My many phone calls went directly to voice mail due to "high volume of calls" I zeroed out and spoke with someone who indicated she would email the billing supervisor who would call me back. That was August 1st and it is now August 10th. I just called again, spoke to the same person who transferred me to the supervisor's extension, and of course my call went to voice mail. I don't know where this is going, but I now owe a late fee according to their last billing to me as well as the original charge. All the more interesting as my Medicare supplemental plan EOB for this charge shows that the carrier paid the charge in full. This is inexcusable. I can't help but wonder how many people give up and pay these bills. I also wonder what this is doing to my credit score. Shame on you Community Surgical read more

This place truly sucks. My Doctor ordered a CPAP machine for me through this lousy company. I A guy from the company came to set me up at home for the first time and showed up with the unit and no mask. He told me "I guess they are going to ship you the mask sometime next week! I had to call customer service this morning to make sure this was happening. I was on hold for a bit, then after waiting for my turn on line I was disconnected. I called again and finally got someone. I was put on hold and 6 min in I was again disconnected!! I waited a while for a return call which never came. I again called and after speaking to an agent about my issue about the mask was told I would have to call another number to resolve the issue. At that point I demanded they come and pick up their machine. I refuse to go down this road with this incompetent outfit. DON'T USE THEM!!!! Massapequa LI read more

spent hours straightening out thei billing. finally got it resolved and pai in full. just got two bills for two different amounts and when I called I was given a third higher amount. the expl@nation from supervisor Mersin was I owed from November. I kept saying I straightened it out. he kept saying the charge was correct. my request to speak to his boss was answered NO. my request to speak to the one I spoke to before was also NO. and then he hung up on me might be worth checking with the insurance company because what they allow and what they pay leaving you a balance does not match the balance you are charged by community surgical read more

The absolute worst. Beyond terrible. Cant believe Northwell Health associates themselves with this low budget company. Please - I am urging everyone who's reading DO NOT use this company. Do your research and find your loved ones the equipment they need, some place elsewhere. These reviews do not lie. read more

Extremely difficult to contact or communicate with. Billing is nothing short of a scam. They do not return calls. Just my most recent problem with them, after more than a week they finally sent a replacement for a malfunctioning oxygen concentrator to my house. They did come a few days ago but did not call with a deli time as promised and showed up today, again without calling first. Their driver left the replacement machine, took the malfunctioning one and left. When I plugged in the replacement machine it immediately went to an alarm mode and shut down. 7 attempts and result is always the same. Since they delivered after 6pm their offices are closed and I am waiting (44 minutes so far) hoping their service will pick up the phone. This company has been billing my insurance company for a year and a half despite the WTC Health Program assuming responsibility for the bills. They also bill me monthly for co-pays which I do not have.....literally dozens of calls to their billing department have resulted in nothing but wasted time. They simply claim they have to look into the issue and I never hear back...yet the bills continue. When ordering supplies like new O2 hoses and nasal cannulas they never include the number the shipping slip claims...always fewer, yet they bill for claimed amounts. The discourteous people I've had to speak with on the odd occasions when someone can be reached are remarkably unprofessional and seem interested only in getting off the phone, usually without helping at all. I wish I had an option, any option, other than using this company. Avoid at all costs. For a business that provides critically important health care equipment I can only imagine their contempt and terrible customer service have caused others as much aggravation as they have me. As I write this I am without an operating oxygen concentrator that I need to assist my breathing. If I have to go to the hospital tonight in order to be on oxygen I will sue these people loudly and publicly...no one should experience this. read more

i'd give a -5 stars if i could! no one is held accountable at community surgical supply! they have sent the wrong supplies and then proceed to blame everyone but themselves. i have been out with inner cannulas for my trac since Friday November18 and they still have not cleared up the problem do not expect a call back from community surgical supply company, they do not respond at all. best advice go somewhere else or prepare for er visit or funeral director to pick you up Received a phone call from Community Surgical Supply 10 minutes after posting this review and their accountability just went from bad to worst. Made up excuses and was totally rude. GO SOMEWHERE ELSE read more

Years later they are even worse than before, if that was even possible. They were bought out by some company and have continued with their errors and mistakes. But my doctor said they are the best of the worse. read more

We just had a delivery for first time and Resp Therapist Stewart came and he was outstanding customer service went over everything about bipap machine. Very caring. professional. read more

If you or a loved one needs oxygen, RUN, don't walk away from this provider. They also do business under the name Ocean Breeze in Hicksville. I have been trying to get a prescription for oxygen home therapy for my 94 year old mother for over a week. Each time I call, they claim some other piece of information is missing. I called the doctor office myself and their notes are complete. The nurse even called the provider directly to expedite the order. Community Surgical / Ocean Breeze can't find any update to the chart. Someone isn't, or can't, do their job correctly! They rent oxygen equipment, we need to rent oxygen equipment - this is simple business - get your act together. If I could give less than one star I would. read more

This company is an absolute disaster. I would give it zero stars if I could. Been waiting for oxygen delivery for days, every phone call they give me such and such time as "the latest" and every time absolutely nothing happens. Meantime there is a 90-year-old stranded in a hospital just cause these people can't get their stuff together. People delivering donuts are more responsible than this folks handling human lives. read more

This company is very difficult to function with. Thank goodness I am not totally dependent on a C Pap machine for my health. First they withdrew the product for safety issues and took 8 months to replace it. They are horrid to get to on the phone. If you are not buying something, they don't want to deal with you. Stay away if possible. read more

A horrible, irresponsible, recklessly incompetent company. They don't answer the phone, they don't return calls, they play a recording that says they'll call back in 48 hours and they don't, not in 48 hours, not a week later. They spontaneously multiply the price of oxygen by 10x with no explanation, then demand payment. STAY AWAY! read more

this company is useless. my doctor ordered equipment from them on 01/30/23. I had to contact them on the next day to see where my equipment was. The girl who answered my call stated the unit had "shipped" out but could not give me a tracking number....translation "we haven't done anything with your order". I am still waiting to get the tracking number - doubt I will ever hear back from them. I will fight the charge with my insurance company because I will not allow them to get a dime from me or my insurance company. I worked at a DME company for 20+ years and never did I treat a customer so rudely and I never LIED to a customer. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!! read more

Would give zero stars if possible. This company has a lucrative contract with Northwell Hospital to deliver crucial medical supplies to patients returning home following injuries and surgery. In this case, something that was supposed to be delivered when we got home from the hospital at 2 pm has still not arrived and it is almost midnight. My mom had serious hip surgery and this was a badly needed piece of equipment. They could have left it at the door any time this morning. I called several times and was told it would be here soon. This is not only unprofessional, it is cruel! With real repercussions for the patient resulting in much worsened pain. Furious and upset. read more

As a healthcare professional -- a geriatric care manager -- much of my work is interacting with healthcare companies, including supply companies. In all my years of working, Community Surgical Supply is THE WORST company I have ever had the misery of dealing with. They were supposed to deliver a HOSPITAL BED for an 86 year old stroke patient the day before she was discharged from the hospital. They did not. Nor did they deliver the next day, nor the next, nor the next, nor the next. Nor the next. They SAY they will deliver tomorrow. We will see. Equally horrible, they put me ON HOLD FOR NEARLY 30 MINUTES, waiting to speak with the rep. The person barely apologized and just moved through the call. This is OUTRAGEOUS!! I will be reporting this company to Medicare!!! read more

The company's dispatch department is impossible to reach. How hard is it to call customer and give an ETA. I will never use this company again because of the lack of communication from the department picking up or drop-off supplies. read more

absolutely awful. setup delivery for after 530pm when I was home to sign for equipment. got home to find they had tried to deliver DME at 1240 instead. called immediately at 540 and was told it would get on a night delivery truck since it was their error. 10pm call and get on call. 1030 a night manager returned my call to tell me the commode and rolling walker are being delivered tomorrow. the hip chair is out of stock - although it was verified and charged for delivery. he can't help me and I'll have to call tomorrow. I'll be at the hospital tomorrow and dad cannot come home without equipment here. disgusting..... read more

This company won't even claim its sight anymore because the service is so poor. Supplies for a patient being discharged from a hospital which were to be delivered between 10-12. No show. Changed to "before 4". Still nothing at 6 pm. Still waiting. People could die waiting for home supples and equipment. read more

If I could give this company a zero rating I would. It is a shame that a place such as this has such poor customer service. Not even the supervisors have the decency to return a phone call after multiple complaints. They play such a vital part in people's lives and they clearly do not care. It is a real shame. I have dealt with such poor professionalism from staff that it saddens me. And to feel like you are at their mercy and they show no compassion whatsoever. I have asked to speak with a higher above the supervisor and nothing happens. The amateur team needs to be replaced starting with the supervisors and place people who actually care for human lives. People who understands frustrations and do not take it personal and help the situation. There are a lot of good hearted people out there looking for work. Time for a change!! read more

worse company ever with almost no customer service. They have no idea what they are doing or what products to ship to what customer.

Wonderful help, great company. Good communication and good customer service. Uses good quality equipment

I have been trying to reach the person in charge of Medicare billing for 2 weeks. I Have spoken with reps in other departments there who said that person was backlogged. They sent her an internal email asking to call me. I also left a voice-mail. Something is amiss here. read more
