My first review was written over 10 years ago. In TEN YEARS NOTHING HAS IMPROVED I was brought here by ambulance again in November 2024 and They put me in the middle of the emergency room on a stretcher with NO curtain and they pushed me around and banged into me the entire time I was there., It took them FORTY ONE HOURS TO ADMIT ME over a day and a half waiting on a stretcher with an IV Line AND a CATHETER and these people just let me lay there. I was only moved upstairs after I complained loudly to the 'administrator" who was extremely BLIND to what is going on in this ER SHe was BUSY SHowing what looked like INVESTORS around the place looking for donations rather than CARING ABOUT THE PATIENTS While I waited in eternity another man who was there at least 24 hours also in the hall like me-yelled he is LEAVING TAKE OUT MY IV. He started to pull on his arm and then and ONLY THEN did the nurses bother to come over. But they wouldnt let him leave. They refused to tell him who was his doctor, when he would be admitted. He said you better let me LEAVE I will go to ANOTHER HOSPITAL and they again protested. He ALSO dialed 911 and ONLY THEN DID THEY REMOVE THE IV. I complained others were admitted WAY BEFORE ME-and I could not get any answers. AFTER ADMISSION-the "ATTENDING" who was listed on my chart NEVER CAME IN 10 DAYS NOT ONCE The nurses said "we called and called him we never see him" TOTALLY IRRESONSIBLE And gross negligence! NOTHING HAS IMPROVED HERE OH=- and the KITCHEN CHEATED ME out of FOOD at every single meal. I submitted my online form-and about 40% Of what I ordered and they billed my insurance for was MISSING EVERRY TIME I called and complained and they said "WE ARE BUSY and HUNG UP". If you expect PRIVACY and them to ADHERE TO HIPPA FORGET IT! WHY IS IT NO DEMOCRATIC POLOTICIANS EVER IN VESTIGATE EMERGENCY ROOMS - SAME FOR THE NEWS. If you REPORT ABUSE they IGNORE YOU read more

TOTAL DISGRACE: Illegal Cover-Ups, Open Racism, and Abuse of Disabled Patients I am writing this review today, May 18, 2026, to expose the absolute malpractice, bigotry, and corruption at Mount Sinai Hospital and Vascular Center (3131 Kings Highway, Brooklyn). If you are disabled, a minority, or in severe pain, stay far away from this place. The staff here operate with zero humanity. I am a disabled Latino patient with severe walking difficulties, wearing a brace on my right knee and a brace on my right elbow. I booked a musculoskeletal and joint ultrasound appointment two weeks ago, filled out all my intake paperwork online, and arrived early at 2:10 PM. What followed was a multi-level nightmare of systemic abuse: The 3rd Floor Vascular Office was clean except the patient bathroom was absolutely filthy, disgusting, and completely lacked toilet paper. Thank God I brought my own tissues. When I arrived, a bald Hispanic male receptionist with a beard and mustache demanded my ID. When I tried to show him my medical prescription, he told me to show it to the PA and asked me to sit down. After waiting 35 minutes in pain, a tall male nurse (beard, mustache, glasses) took me aside, and I was suddenly surrounded for no reason by two female nurses who looked completely clueless. Despite the fact that I had uploaded everything to my online chart, carried PDF copies on my phone, and had the physical prescription in hand, I showed him the prescription, and he flatly refused to help, stating, "WE DO NOT DO THIS TEST HERE GO TO LL." I told him the Lower Level explicitly referred me here, but he refused to listen, making cheap excuses. When I literally pleaded with him, "Look at me, look at my walking difficulties, I can't go around in circles. You work here, can you please find out for me?", he looked a disabled person in the eye and said, "Go downstairs if not sorry, bye bye." I went to Patient Relations on 3131Kings Highway to report this. The male Jewish employee there turned out to be ROMAN, THE DIRECTOR OF PATIENT RELATIONS. He was actively busy playing video games on his cell phone. As I stood there in agony trying to explain that I was in severe pain, he never even looked up at me because he was more interested in his phone screen. He coldly told me to "come back later or tomorrow" there is no one here to help I asked him since he was in the PR office, "Are you part of the Patient relations staff?" and he stated "NO I AM JUST USING THE OFFICE" and completely refused to assist me. He also screamed at me twice and I left in fear. I went down to the Lower Level for advice. The two nasty women at the desk included the exact person who had misleadingly scheduled my appointment two weeks ago. When I asked where I was supposed to go, they snapped, "DON'T KNOW GO TO THE OTHER BUILDING," expecting a disabled patient to inherently know their campus layout. As I turned to leave in excruciating pain, they muttered a nasty, racist word under their breath. When I turned around and asked them what their problem was and why they were making racist remarks to a disabled Latino, they just sat there laughing at me. I walk to the other building. The two security guards there were practically sleeping with zero professionalism. I asked for help, and the female guard took my ID but completely ignored my questions. She then told me, "Oh it is too difficult to explain, go there and go North then South." I walked away because she was half-asleep and the area smelled heavily of marijuana. I didn't know where to go, nobody to help and I found the other Patient Relations office in the second building. A very sweet, caring lady who was finishing her lunch took the time to actually look into my chart. What she found was horrifying: someone on the 3rd floor had ILLEGALLY DELETED my appointment from the system to cover their tracks. Because I keep meticulous records, I was able to prove to her that I had a valid appointment. When this kind lady called the 3rd floor to confront them, they explicitly lied to her and claimed I was never there. However, they didn't realize I speak Spanish and I perfectly described every single employee, including the 3rd-floor front desk receptionist. While I was waiting earlier, that bald receptionist, unaware that I understood Spanish, was complaining to a cleaning lady named Maria, saying: "All these disgusting people, pigs, filthies made a mess here and eat the toilet paper, I am tired of all these degenerates." Once I detailed this exact conversation and described the entire room of staff and patients, the 3rd-floor staff were caught red-handed in their lie. They completely froze and could not explain to the main office why they illegally deleted my appointment before 3:00 PM. Even though the lady in the second building was nice, she refused to take a formal complaint, This place treats disabled human beings worse than a third-world country. read more

Visiting should be overnight like long island's number one hospital stony brook yall can learn alot from them... some patients have bad anxiety being alone or in a room with a stranger and they need their loved ones to not have an anxiety attack or get worse . They don't train their nurses in applying ports ... I have had a port for many years because Im a hard stick and i am always getting blood transfusions and sickle cell med through iv .. the first time i came they found someone to put it in after hours but the next two times i came they refused to even try and they poked and prodded so many times because each one blew and now i have big bruises up and down my arms. Will never come here again gave more than one chance to see if they just had an off day but no.. some of the doctors mainly the old ones wit grey hair not gonna mention no names but you know who u are... they don't listen to you they just ignore everything you say and hand u medicine you probably don't need just to get u in and out and some of the nurses is racist treating certain patients different because of their skin color.. I strongly dislike this hospital.. I'm going back to Long Island. read more

Remember back in the mid 1970's on the show good times whenever a family member got sick and they had to go to the free clinic. That is what it felt like but this place is not free. My dad 83 years old was told to come in at noon for a procedure. He did not make it in to the operating room until 5:00 pm. This is extremely insensitive in my opinion especially since he could not eat anything for 24 hours prior. Talking to other people in lounge waiting on people having operations this appears to be a common theme here. read more

I went to Mount Sinai because of a workplace injury. I did not enjoy my experience there at all. Dr. Elizabeth Rubano was my doctor. She barely spoke to me about my symptoms and after waiting for hours to be seen, shoe didn't even take her time to go over the results of bloodwork and procedure. Thankfully the discharge paperwork had some additional information I was able to use to have a better understanding. I tried to call the following night and the gentleman who picked up was rude and unprofessional. He had an attitude because I asked to speak to the doctor and requested an email or number I could reach her to see if I could request an additional day to recover. By the end of the conversation, he young up on me. This hospital has odd systems, they aren't efficient, bedside manner is not great overall and it's not a very clean facility. From the looks of it, many of the patients there are of minority populations. I wonder if the service there would be more pleasant had the majority been of a different race. Please do better Mount Sinai and Dr. Rubano. I do want to say, there was one nurse (I did not catch her name). She performed my EKG, she was very pleasant and tried her best to help me. Too bad the rest of the staff appeared to care less. I do hope I won't have to come to this hospital again. read more

I went to Mount Sinai Brooklyn 3201 Kings Highway. I went after my cashier shift at shoprite .1080 McDonald Avenue and Ave. I . Time 12:19 Am. On Tuesday , March 25th. I was diagnosis with Phlebitis. And they gave me a follow up Doctors name and number but they never said I should take off any days from my job .Their where no preventive care instructions. So I went back to work. And now I just read this visit will be 1500.00 out of my pocket. But I wasn't treated or given any advice and wasn't printed on my medical paper work telling my job I should stay off my feet. Nothing in the medical chart stating what to do at home. But it does say if it gets worse to come back to the emergency room. This is not a full medical Emergency Fucility. I don't recommend this Mount Sinai of Brooklyn Hospital to anyone who want Emergence Treatment. read more

horrible, stay away from it. Stuff does not what they do, SW is not helpful and I am lucky that my father was discharged alive

If I could give mount Sinai Brooklyn 0 stars, I absolutely would! My partner recently had surgery here, and the disorganization and lack of professionalism was astounding. In addition, they failed to give me any updates and ignored my existence the entire time I waited there. Even when I was in the recovery room with my partner, the staff would not speak to me. In addition, weeks before the surgery, my partner was given a booklet with the steps the hospital would take as part of his recovery before being discharged. The staff completed none of the physical therapy or steps outlined in the booklet. The waiting room was filthy, and the nurses would come in and take breaks, propping up their feet on the chairs. I would never have anything done there again and recommend if you have any other option, you go elsewhere read more

A hospital in the Midwood section of Brooklyn on Kings Highway and New York Avenue, It's E.R. room it's your simple N.Y.C hospital, My aunt was feeling neck to back pain, so I brought her to the E.R., Lizabeth - the Filipino lady at the e.r. Room desk she is a sweetheart and a nurse in the ER. Room as well, We got there around 9 a.m. We left the E.R. at 2:50 p.m. I feel like did an eight-hour shift in the E.R. The X-ray nurse technician said it takes about two hours for the X-ray sample to come back to see if she had a broken bone, They gave my aunt some pills and took her blood for testing, and there put a patch on her back to sore the pain, after we left the hospital around 2:30 p.m. I dropped off my aunt at the bus stop to go home I continued on my way home to my doctor's appointment yesterday at 4:30 p.m. to my doctor office, Their E.R. is no different than Kings County Hospital or Downstate or Kingsbrook, Brookdale, Maimonides, Woodhul, Cumberland diagnostics / Hospital center's. I like the fact there are Electronic Computer devices that face visual Language barriers for their patients who do not acknowledge the English Language I witness: French/Creole, Yiddish-Hebrew, Chinese-Mandrian, etc languages .spoken with nurses and patients language barriers Electronic computer devices in the E.R., I wouldn't mind coming back to Mount Sinai Brooklyn Hospital !!!! Very Convivent by the MTA Transporation: Bus: B44,B7,B82,BM2, etc buses Subway: 2,5-Train. Flatbush Avenue.Brooklyn College Train station (Last stop). (if you catch the B44 bus on Nostrand Avenue & Flatbush Avenue or Nostrand Avenue & Kings Highway, you can transfer to the 2,5-Trains from the above train station above to Manhattan & The Bronx, etc, or places across N.Y.C Metropolitan Area read more

Recent outpatient Endoscopy. The doctor was excellent. The place was very clean. The white nurse excellent. The oriental nurses horrible. I looked at them washing their hands: they turned on the focet with dirty hands, washed their hands then touched the contaminated focet to turn it off; thus contamination their just washed clean hands to care for patients. Except for the older oriental nurse the rest of the oriental nurses disrespected the basis of nursing 'HAND WASHING'‼The oriental anesthesiologist disregarded hippa law to assess me loud in the middle of the nursing station for all to see and hear and disregarded my plea for privacy. These folks need to be re-oriented to the basis of patient care. I tried to state my feelings of disrespect and over heard one of the young oriental nurses referring to me as a movie star in name in a very derogatory manner even looking at me and repeating her name calling after I asked her what she was saying. These oriental nurses need to be corrected and have respect for their patients. Every one else was so respectful and warm; especially the white nurse and doctors. I especially choose Mt. Sinai because I had been treated so very well in the past. Please address these concerns especially in consideration for patients and their vulnerable feelings going for scary procedures involving surgery; not matter how minor. Thanks and please respect my complaint and excuse my direct message if it offends anyone. Patients rights and respect are important. Make a change. DESPITE ALL THIS MT. SINAI IS ONE OF THE BEST HOSPITALS. MY PROCEDURE WAS A+. I WOKE UP AND FELT EXCELLENT; NO PAIN, NO PROBLEMS AT ALL. ALL MY NEEDS WERE MET. A SPECIAL THANKS TO THE GI DOCTOR WHO ALSO WORKS AT LA SHANTI MEDICAL CENTER; WHAT AN AMAZING DOCTOR. Thank you. read more

I'm currently here now. I've been here for 4 days. Their bed side manners suck. The nurses are so rude and in empathetic,and they barely come when you call. I had a nurse just come and turn on the light at 6am to look for something and walk out. The staff just walks in and out of your room without announcing themselves. Sometimes you don't even know why they're in your room. I had to wait for a doctor to come off of his Sabbath to give me my medical results, as if they couldn't find another doctor to speak to me. Lastly, their communication is HORRIBLE!!! They don't tell you what your plan of care is unless you practically ask over and over again. They treat you as if you don't need to know anything. Just sit there and be quiet. They consistently changed my medication without saying anything to me. Every time I asked a question it was as if I was annoying them. This experience was so depressing. read more

I edited my review and posted it again. If Yelp removes it again, l will seek legal counsel. Yelp, you just gave me all the evidence that I need. Yelp, you removed my original review after falsely accusing me of unnecessary graphic or offensive descriptions. Yelp, you also falsely accused me of mentioning physical and or sexual violence. Leave my review up, or deal with the risk of a lawsuit, meditation, or settlement. Date of hospital visit: 7/27/24 Location: Mount Sinai Brooklyn Emergency Department 3201 Kings Highway Brooklyn 11234-2625 Time approximately 6:55am Doctor who saw me: Morgan Sauer, MD Reason for review: Condescending, nonchalant medical staff member who was supposed to get me help IMMEDIATELY, but instead took her sweet time. See the attached photos of the person I'm describing. This is my second post because Yelp removed first one. I don't know why Yelp is trying to censor my review. My account is not even well known, how did you even find me? I didn't use any profanity or threats. This is exactly what's wrong with this society. NOBODY CAN BE HONEST ANYMORE. I currently have COVID and I went to Mount Sinai and my first words to the black female worker/receptionist behind the glass window was that I have a 91 degree body temperature. She looked at me and didn't say one word. And looked disinterested. The only thing she said in response was "I.D?" I gave her both my ID and my insurance card. Instead of her getting help and requesting that someone come out and check my vital signs, she had me in wait for almost 5 minutes. And the only reason it wasn't longer was because I spoke up for myself. She never once said "Please wait." Or even indicated that she was trying to get me help. The main lobby was empty. There was no patient in the lobby but me. And she still was taking her sweet time typing in my information very slowly. She even asked me "Where do you live?" These are the type of decisions that can result in patients dying. She was also talking to me in a very low tone of voice even though she was behind a glass. I could barely hear her. She even went in to say "You can sit down." This was about 5 minutes after I already told her my body temp was 91 degrees Fahrenheit. Then I asked her if there was a doctor available and she replied sarcastically "This is a hospital, of course there are doctors." So she was quicker to be sarcastic with a patient who asked a reasonable question as opposed to getting the Registered Nurse. She only got the nurse after I raised my voice at her. The Registered Nurse also lied to me and told me that 91 degrees is normal body temperature. No human being can live with a 91 body temperature. That is hypothermia, and can damage your organs. She knows that, but she told me BS anyway. It's like they just tell you ANYTHING, and they say it with a straight face, and expect you to believe it. And I also didn't like when Morgan Sauer, MD told me that I was "young". He was practically downplaying my COVID infection. A very demeaning and common thing that many doctors say far too often. As if people have never heard of St. Jude, a cancer facility for children. And not to mention Juvenile Diabetes. Doctors are always downplaying people's symptoms. But the worst of them all was the woman behind the glass window when I came in. Then as soon as I mentioned that I was going to do a review about her unprofessionalism and pulled out my cellphone, she started dodging me like a ninja. These are simple things to do as a medical professional. If someone tells you that their body temp is 91, you aren't supposed to take your sweet time. And she knows that but she just didn't care. read more

I am unsure why this hospital was rated one of the best hospitals in the nation, because it certainly is not. My father was in this facility for 11 days and in their eagerness to discharge him became dismissive and negligent. My mother needing further clarification, asked to speak with the doctor (On the day he was to be discharged) and he refused to speak with her, stating, "I already spoke with your daughter". My father was admitted for possible seizures. On several occasions my mother asked to speak to a doctor concerning my father's condition. No one spoke with her about tests or specialist that he may have needed to see i.e., Neurologist or MRI. If such tests were performed, no one notified us of the results. The lack of concern was overwhelming. My mother while in the emergency room attempted to explain to the Attending Physicians that my whenever my father exerted energy such as movement from one space to another, he experienced what seemed to us to be seizures. The Attending Physicians acted as if my mother could not possibly understand what it was that she was explaining to them. Additionally, a new condition occurred while my father was there. When attempting to sit him up (2 days consecutively) his blood pressure dropped. No one notified us of this new development nor had an explanation for why it was happening. When visiting him on Wednesday, July 19th noticed that the floors were dirty. There were empty alcohol prep packets on the floor, old food at the side of my father's bed and used gloves on the floor next to the garbage can. I asked how often does someone clean the rooms I was told daily. When I returned on Friday July 21the floors were still in the same condition. In addition to the flies that were also present. Again I am unsure how or why this hospital was rated one of the top hospitals in the nation. read more

They took care of me when I had a brain bleed and got me into manhattan where I had my surgery

It is unfortunate that there are staff at this facility who do not really care about the patient's wellbeing, that includes doctors. There is no transparency or proper communication. There is noise on floors and lack of concern for the patient's conditions and environment. People prefer their phones as opposed to engaging with visitors and patients. A few bad apples spoil the bunch. You don't know the names of people as they don't always announce themselves. It is ridiculous that this happens even now with so many protocols and regulations to adhere to. read more

If I could give this place no stars I would. Worst hospital ever that I had experience. The security guard just took my name and told me that 1 person was ahead of me. I was sitting waiting nearly an hour and I realized that I was skipped by several patients. I went to the security guard and asked why other people are being seen and I was skipped. He stated that they had a more urgent medical issue than me. First he did not ask me the reason why I wanted to see a doctor and didn't even the other people. After being seen at the triage, I was placed a bed and sat there for nearly 2 hours before the doctor came over, apologized for the long wait and asked what was going on. He stated that he will have blood drawn and maybe a cat scan. After another long wait the blood was drawn. I stood there for 8 hours waiting to for the blood results. During the wait I kept asking what is taking so long and what other test am I waiting for. The nurse finally went to the doctor and asked about my status. The doctor finally past by and told me I'll be right back to talk to you. After 30 mins he finally came and stated that he just need to review a final section of the blood work. I waited hours questioning what was going on. Nobody don't know a thing there. There were many patients as I sat there requesting to discharge themselves because they had been waiting much longer then me. Finally I was told by the nurse that I'm going home and she was going to print my discharge paperwork so I can leave. OMG she took forever to print out paperwork. The doctor or nurse never explained to me what was going on. Never told me that he prescribe mediation and what it was for. Did not recommend to be seen by a specialist. I had read the discharge paperwork and found out myself. 8 hours to draw and review blood. I read the blood work in less than 5 mins and saw there were no issues. But I was left there for 8 hours forgotten about. Nurses be catching at tuit use when patients asked them what taking so long or what's going on. This place is horrible. I would never in my life go to the ER at this place for any reason. read more

I would not let them cut my finger nails!!! I try not to say anything negative as a general rule but I truly believe that this hospital is a dangerous place!

ABSOLUTLY terrible experience in the ER . I am company if my family member, we cane here in emergency. She's SHAKING, groaning, in clear physical pain for over an hour waiting to be seen by a doctor. Over an hour. It brought tears to my eyes having to see her in so much pain, for so long for absolutely no good reason. I alerted staff several times ... "doctor will be here soon" is the only response I got until I caught the doctor walking around and got her attention read more

Kings highway .. please donot go here! I would rate minus zero stars if I could! The administration staff and intake nurse is excellent goes out of her way , but the actual doctors especially one of the head Doctors HOrrible! I just RAN OUT the ER , aft r I checked in and saw the doctor who was AT the hospital when my sister died , looking clueless , today just as he did that night , I ran out of there! Damn near caught a panic attack! I could not trustmy health to him after the experience Of having to watch my sister die in his care! No way! Oh and I ask for a blanket and they gave me a blanket that had chewed gum attached to it! Place was dirty. I wanted out of there! Short staffed as welll also I overheard a doctor asking for different things he needed to perform a procedure on someone and they had nothing he was asking for. He himself was baffled. No joke not kidding , don't go there! You better off going to a private doctor for your needs and getting surgical procedures planned if you need them! In an emergency still don't go here! Travel longer distance for your care if you need to! read more

I don't care what anyone says, this hospital is the best. Dr. smith in the ER was amazing. He explained everything that was going on with me. My favorite person was Nancy, the ultrasound tech.

I'll definitely recommend this hospital over kings county or anywhere else read more

Took my 92 year old father here on the advise of a PA that saw him at home. He waited 17 hrs in the ER for a room. He had fluid on the lungs.

Never again will I subject my father to a 17 hr wait in their ER It's going to take a class action lawsuit to maybe change this place. read more

Horrible hospital i went there and the girl of there she's have bad attitude starting with the security and the girl who treats you in emergency I do not recommend this hospital they will not treat them I had to go because they have a bad attitude and not even people had the same I imagine do not go to this hospital it does not work read more

Worst hospital! Staff tell patients to fuck their father. Everyone here has attitude. No one cares about the patients. One so called nurse didn't even take blood properly, I'm bleeding through the bandage and she left the light iny room on, didn't turn it off on her way out. Avoid at all costs. People who work here don't like their job. read more

I do not even want to give them a star it is that bad. But I can't leave a review unless I do. Run don't walk run to any other place. I am telling you take your chances at the vets nearby. I waited 3 hours to just see a triage nurse. Then when I got in the back it was another 4 hours. This is a terrible place and should be shut down. read more

You may die from your ailment before they even see you here. We waited 5 hours and no one has seen us. For a head injury for crying out loud. With a baby. Nurses seem to not know what they're handing out to patients, and everything looks so disorganized. The bathroom looks like something in an East Village dive bar on a Saturday night. This is by far the worst hospital I have ever been to, and I've been to public hospitals in developing countries. If you want to get treated, go anywhere else. Save yourselves. read more

1523 Voorhies Ave 3rd floor,Brooklyn, NY 11235 Oncology department Mount Sinai I cannot recommend this clinic enough for their team work and real care for patients. Dr. Konstantin Zakashansky who literally saved my life and Dr. Sofya Pintova- another amazing and caring oncologist- are the best. Nurses there are wonderful and always so positive. They make you forget about " Big C word" while there. Zhanna, Olia, Boris and Olesia - you guys are doing a great job! Thank you very much! read more

Is there an amazing hospital out there? I guess if you have Hov and Bey's cash flow, then the answer is YES! But for those of us who can't absorb an entire wing of a hospital, well you can always appeal to a higher source to see you emerge unscathed from, as one physician I interviewed calls hospitals, "the place that makes you sicker the longer you stay". Hmmm? Well, this hospital is more of a 2.5 (It's not really "A-okay" and I have experienced "worse"). I can't speak about the Emergency Department because I came here to visit someone who was admitted. And in all the time I've lived in Brooklyn I never even realized this hospital was here. I only walked by the Beth Israel med center near Union Square. Anyway, the Brooklyn site is really small, getting a vistor's pass didn't take long, and the nursing staff was okay when I was there (although my friend had her own complaints). Oddly enough, the only restroom available to visitors based on what I was told was in the lobby, which is weird. I'm sure the staff have their own area, but there's no general restroom on floors, really? Based on my experiences while visiting folks at Kingsbrook and Kings County (and dare I mention Brookdale--it is what it is, right), I found the nursing staff to be helpful, which was probably due to working in an environment with such a small-patient population compared to other larger hospitals. read more

least helpful staff I've seen in awhile. they failed to put an IV in me three times and it was extremely painful. waited around for hours to figure out I needed to go to a different hospital the next day. read more

Don't trust, wish I could give them zero stars. I would not go there, ever again. I Took my father there on a Wednesday. He needed a surgical procedure. Installing a port to drain out fluid. The Doctor Who ordered It told me, my father would be prescribed painkillers and most likely antibiotics. Then Let go with a referral for the visiting nurse service. Reasonable. Sounded fine. That referral would have allowed the Visiting nurse service to change his bandages and to install a bag to drain out accumulated stomach fluid. Every two days. After doing the procedure they promptly refused to provide a referral. Very odd. They also refused to let me talk to a social worker about this. my father At 75 years old had previously gone to Mount Sinai in Manhattan, for cancer treatments of the liver, for some years. They also surprisingly told him to take Tylenol and prescribed no antibiotics. Ok, I thought that pretty weird after they had drilled the hole in his abdomen. I know that after a surgical procedure three things are usually prescribed antibiotics a few strong pain killers to block surgical pain, and sometimes some gabapentin To block nerve pain. I called back the next day after having no luck getting a referral elsewhere. My father was in terrible pain and they refused also to give him any pain medication. I thought that was lousy and unprofessional. I was later able to get him pain medication through a different doctor then the surgeon. Now once again they refused to provide the referral. I thought it unusual. Day or so later, I told Mount Sinai Brooklyn with no referral... I had no choice but to bring him back there, they told me not to. Im like, really!! I went and brought him there anyway. his bandages visibly required changing plus the area needed to be checked for any infection. They changed the bandages, maybe drained some more fluid. Now again they refused to give him a referral for the VNS. A while later I managed to get a different type of doctor to come by. They supposedly wrote up a referral. it took too much time to process and to get them over here though. They were from the Health insurance company not even from Mount Sinai. I've been begging all kinds of people to write a referral for my father because he was in a lot of pain and the fluid was building up. Most places didn't wanna deal with draining the fluid and replacing the bandages they said that's a hospital task. I called the visiting nurse service the next afternoon they have no record of any referral for my father. the hospital discharge papers clearly state bandages were supposed to be changed every two days by the visiting nurse service. a drainage bag was to be installed and drained also. This was needed to be done by Friday. every two days in fact. Because they ( Mount Sinai Brooklyn ) failed to provide a referral 3 times for the visiting nurse service, the situation was not properly monitored, or addressed in a timely manner. They gave me the runaround a lot. I felt a level of incompetence. Dad needed to go back to the hospital, a third time now. It's fluid that should've been drained out by the bag with the visiting nurse service. by Tuesday we Called the ambulance my father was dead very soon afterwards. Beware, We experienced negligence there. If we went somewhere else or to mount sinai in Manhattan he would probably still be alive. I spoke to the Doctor Who had originally prescribed this procedure and he sounded genuinely horrified by my experience. That procedure was supposed to enrich the quality of his life and extend it. I would never go there again and I would not recommend them and I am very angry with them. Honestly If had a lot of money, I would sue them. My humble Father just didn't deserve that treatment. It's not a courtesy to write somebody a referral for the VNS after you cut them open and you're not doing them a favor by doing so and writing it. I think it was unsympathetic and inhumane of them to treat an elderly person in this way. You Take your chances when you go there. read more

In March I had surgery there and I had the best surgeon and the best care! I have a lot of allergies and everyone was careful including a visit from the nutritionist/dietician! Couldn't have asked for better! read more

My mother was taken to the ER last night via ambulance due to difficulty breathing and a bunch of other things. The staff in the ER were wonderful. From the moment I entered the waiting area, the security guard greeted me and had me complete the screening. The nurses were attentive to my mom and all the patients. The doctor in charge of us was caring and really tried to figure it all out. You may have to wait a while but it is an ER and they need to figure it out before they send you where you need to be. Thank you Kings Highway, Mount Sinai for the excellent care you gave to my mom. read more

My family member went to emergency with high blood pressure of 280 and severely swollen ankles. She felt ignored and not being cared for or answered to. They let her leave and she had a stroke and died. Very poor care. Very sad result. They should have tranquilized her to calm her and give her proper care. Disgraceful. read more

What a difference from the last few visits. Nurses were friendly and professional. Took my sister in law here. Yes it was crowded but the nurse made it work and was sweet and apologetic. A scan was done quickly and we didn't wait too long for results. We had a PA but the doctor checked on us and was also nice. They even offered me a drink and walked me to the cafeteria. The last time I was here was 2years ago but this visit was insanely opposite of that experience. Like a brand new place! 4 stars because emergency room is small. They need to expand read more

WORST HOSPITAL EVER! Not only does it take an extremely long time to be seen the staff is so unprofessional. I had blood taken from my arm and this guy is rushing me to fill out forms for the CT scan. The guy doing it doesn't only talk on the phone the entire team he grabs my arm twice and almost pulls out my IV the second time. So I was told you're supposed to get your blood pressure taken every 2 hours so a woman comes to take it for the third time. I tell her someone did it an hour ago so she checks to see the last time someone took my blood pressure and turns it the second person who did it didn't record it so only my first one was on file. Do yourself a favor and avoid this hospital and go find someplace better! read more

Thought it was an "ok" hospital until it was time for my mom to be discharged home. There were no discharge instructions given to her for her amputation and follow up care. Also, she was taken to another hospital the day after for hypoxia (59%) and fluid in her lungs. How could mount Sinai not catch this? Aren't viral signs suppose to be checked right before discharge? If you can help it, go somewhere else. read more

If you are being referred for anything at all at this hospital, Mount Sinai hospital at this location, AVOID IT AT ALL COST. They are up dating or degrading not sure their computer system. The admission office has two individuals working with 6 tech from the computer software company and what seems like a crash course in the new software. They have no clue how it works. So everything that's network to this system labs diagnostic s pre op are back logged with patients with paperwork issues. It's a nightmare for the elderly that unaccompanied I have to be subjected to extremely long wait and lack of patient care. Patients right go out the window here. You have been warned. read more
