Whatever happened deserves its own documentary because this place is now giving portal to purgatory. My husband and I came in on a Wednesday because of a foot injury. All he needed was an X ray and someone to look at it. We spent FIVE HOURS there, and the only medical treatment he received was having his vitals taken. They brought us to the back to wait for a doctor and then seemingly deleted us from the system. Three different nurses came over at different times, asked for his name, called him by the wrong name, and then asked, "Why are you still here? We haven't seen you?" FUN FACT... I'm wondering the same thing. WHY ARE WE STILL HERE?! After about three hours of this fever dream, they moved us to the "FastTrack" area, which I can only assume was named as a joke. We then sat there for another TWO HOURS while everyone collectively forgot we existed. Again. Meanwhile, two nurses were openly talking about how badly they wanted to go home. At that point we looked at each other and said, "You know what? We don't want to be here either, girl," and walked out. Now here's where it somehow gets even better. TWO HOURS AFTER WE LEFT, they called us to ask if we were still there. I'm sorry... what? At that point I wasn't sure whether to laugh or congratulate everyone involved on creating the most immersive escape room experience in New York. Honestly, you're probably better off going to CityMD, MedRite, or asking the guy at your local bodega for a second opinion. At least someone will acknowledge your existence. I'm genuinely convinced this place is run by NYU's psychology department as a social experiment to see how much absurdity people will tolerate before they completely lose it. I wish I were kidding.

Harvard Medical states "The pain of Trigeminal Neuralgia is recognized as one of the most excruciating forms of pain known". Penn has done nothing at this point to relieve my pain. I have been waiting for 3 weeks to get orders for an MRI with and without contrast. Despite calling the doctor repeatedly, the MRI has not been scheduled. Radiology has been wonderful; radiology is working to help me get an MRI scheduled. In the interim, my PCP who is not affiliated with Penn has prescribed Gabapentin 300mg three times a day. Were it not for my PCP, I can't even imagine the level of pain I would be experiencing. I am truly disheartened by the lack of care and concern by my doctor at Penn.

My dad got very sick very suddenly so we called an ambulance. The EMT's offered to help get him into the car so we could go to Morristown ER but his vitals were iffy so then they said he needs to get to Bayonne ER . I felt like we were in a mediocre urgent care center. Over the next 10 hours, he was passed around to 4 different doctors, none of whom ever came back. His BP was dangerously low but no one could tell me why; the doctors were nowhere to be found and the nurses spent all their time playing games and ordering White Castle on DoorDash. Really. At 4 am a doctor walking by told me "he has a UTI and he's septic, he's getting antibiotics." That's a big freaking deal for a cardiac patient. But then my dad woke up, totally alert and himself. Doctors and nurses came over and started calling him the miracle man. They said he's going to be OK, he'll go to ICU but he could go home later today. Relieved, I stayed until he was settled in a room, then went home to sleep. When I went back I found my dad clinging to life in the ICU. 2 doctors came to ask about his DNR. I said, "is that where we are?" and they said yes. He was not expected to survive. I stayed calm out of respect for other patients but I said, "I and my father's entire family are 10 blocks away and you have every phone number, why did no one call us to tell us anything?" No answer. My father was struggling to breathe and his heart was failing. He told me he was tired of fighting and ready to go. I knew what he was telling me, fortunately we had talked openly and honestly through the years about our wishes and certainly since he had heart disease the last year. I got a call from the comfort care physician who was wonderful, and she is the only person I would say was not woefully inept and negligent in their job. She was great, she was honest, and because I have medical knowledge we were able to skip over the remedial end of life protocol discussion. My father was awake and alert and participated in the discussion, which the doctor found extraordinary. My dad was extraordinary. So we got the whole family to the hospital and my heroic father had meaningful final conversations and expressions of love with each family member. The rest of the family left and I stayed and held my father's hand as the medications were administered and he passed peacefully. My father was always going to die, we all are, someday. I will always wonder whether another hospital would have treated him faster and more aggressively that night and prolonged his life. What I will never forget is the absolute unprofessionalism I witnessed at every level at this joke of a hospital. It truly should be shut down.

It took nurses over 2 hours to bring her something for pain, they didn't bathe her in 10 days. They discharged her with a drain and no plan. Absolutely atrocious. They should be ashamed of themselves. And to think it's a Catholic hospital.

I reminded him that I work with one of the top cardiologists in the tri-state area who says I cannot take what he was trying to administer and he scoffed. After being told it would be fine by countless nurses and staff, I relented, figuring they knew what they were doing. I trusted them, which was a huge mistake. After being administered the medication, I had such a bad medical reaction that I had to be admitted to this hell hole. The nurses and doctors were mortified as I they tried to get me back under control. I went in for a benign issue and ended up being hospitalized because of their doctors and nurses. Terrifying. Take it from me: If you value your health, do not use this place for medical care.

I don't want to speak negatively of hospitals, but I can't help comparing my recent experience here…read morewith the experience I had a little over a year ago at St. Barnabas. I can't condemn anything about the medical care I received there... I believe St. Barnabas rates as 1 of the top hospitals in the state of NJ, after all ... but parking was a nightmare, the people supposed to register me as a patient were more than a little bit impatient and unhelpful, and I thought the belligerent security guard was 1 step away from tackling me to the ground in a choke hold. My doctor wanted me to get another echocardiogram, which I had for the 1st time a little over a year ago at Barnabas Health Ambulatory Care Center (not St. Barnabas the hospital, in this case, although it wasn't far away; it's a stone's throw from the Livingston Mall and about a mile away from the baronial estate of the late Mafia boss Ruggiero "Ritchie the Boot" Boiardo). I had no particular grievance against the Ambulatory Care Center (if I remember right, I wrote a fairly positive review about the experience), but RWJ is closer to where I live, and it's not like the Ambulatory Care Center experience was so stellar that I NEEDED to go there, as opposed to anywhere else. I had been to RWJ a few years ago for a test when I started having digestive problems. The test was inconclusive, but I didn't blame RWJ, as my own doctor (and I like my doctor) ran a series of tests and ultimately said, "We can't find out what's wrong with you. If the problem continues, make an appointment with a gastroenterologist." Instead, I bought a bottle of Pepto Bismol, and that seemed to eradicate the issue, for the time being, anyway. Ultimately, I probably will have to see a gastroenterologist. But that's another review for a later time (after I've actually gone to one, that is). I remembered that RWJ was off the main street, Union Ave., and I was able to locate it again without too much difficulty. I wasn't sure which building I was supposed to go to, but there was a large free outdoor parking lot. I went to the 1st nearby building, where a security guard sat. I still had the "muscle memory" of my confrontation with the St. Barnabas security guard making me tense up, but this security guard was actually very helpful and informative. I asked him if it was ok for me to park in that large free parking lot, and he said it was. When I indicated the kind of test I was there to have performed, he actually walked me to the main pathway, told me to walk to the end of it, and the part of the hospital I needed to go to was there. Inside that part of RWJ, I waited on a small line, but it didn't take long before I was in front of a representative. She signed me in quickly, took a photo for my brand new RWJ I.D., and affixed a white "patient strip" around my wrist. She then directed me to the elevator, told me what floor I needed to get to, and where exactly I had to go once I reached that floor. Couldn't have been easier. Upstairs in the cardiac center, I was efficiently registered, told how long my wait would be, and directed to a comfortable waiting area. (My 1 complaint would be that they had 1 magazine available to read; it was People, which I detest. Two thirds of the "celebrities" within its pages are "beautiful" ciphers I've never heard of, and hopefully never will hear of again. Remember when People sometimes wrote stories of importance and gravity? Yeah, I'm old enough to remember those ancient, bygone days...) At 1 point, the lady who had registered me came over and apologized that the wait would be a little longer than anticipated. The extra wait time didn't bother me...I anticipate a wait anytime I go to a doctor or hospital...but I appreciated the gesture. Before too long, the pleasant young woman performing the echocardiogram brought me in. It's not a colonoscopy (which is unpleasant but not painful), and it's certainly not agonizing in any way, but I wouldn't exactly call it something to look forward to. I'm lying on my side, shirt off, with my fish-white flesh exposed and my flabby belly hanging out (my youthful days of lifting weights and running 6 miles every other day are obviously long behind me), while she leaned over me, probing my gelled-up chest with a probe or wand or whatever it's called, monitoring the heart's activity on a screen. When I went for the test a year ago in Livingston, the amplified sound of my own heart freaked me out, but the person performing the test then gave no indication that anything could be done about it. This time, when I mentioned how that sound bothered me, the woman performing the test said, "Oh, I can shut off the sound, so you don't have to hear it." Again, I appreciated the gesture. All in all, my experience at RWJ was much more positive than my encounter at St. Barnabas. Parking wasn't an ordeal, and everyone I encountered was helpful and at least relatively friendly. I have no problem coming here again, if I have to.

Severe Diagnostic Failure and Patient Neglect I am writing…read morethis review out of deep concern for the safety of future patients at this facility. During my stay, the medical staff failed to properly review my lab results, leading to a premature and dismissive psychological diagnosis that could have resulted in permanent physical harm. I presented to the hospital with progressing, visible neurological symptoms, including severe numbness, burning, vision changes and more. Despite repeatedly informing the staff that my condition was worsening after admission, the treating physician dismissed my physical symptoms as psychological because the mri's came back negative, stating they were "in my head," and repeatedly insisted that I needed a psychiatrist. Alarmed by this dismissal, I reviewed my own lab work and discovered that my Vitamin B6 level was significantly elevated at 80.8 ng/mL--well over double the normal limit and a definitive indicator of B6 toxicity (hypervitaminosis B6). Every single one of my neurological symptoms perfectly correlated with this toxic exposure. Incredibly, while I was experiencing active B6 toxicity, the hospital was actively administering multivitamins and melatonin to me, which directly exacerbated my condition. When I brought the lab results to the physician's attention, he initially argued and went back and forth with me. Only after I insisted that he consult another physician did he review the data properly, return, and apologize. Had I not intervened and audited my own medical records, I would have been discharged to go home and continue taking the supplements that were actively poisoning my nervous system. My primary concern is the systemic "domino effect" of damage this hospital's culture creates. Writing off complex, undiagnosed physical illnesses as mental health issues causes profound patient confusion, creates unnecessary family arguments, and delays life-saving or sight-saving care. Dismissing physical pathology as a psychiatric issue because a physician cannot immediately find the answer is dangerous medical practice. This was a horrific experience, and the facility needs immediate oversight regarding how lab results are audited.
