Disappointed and Deeply Concerned About My Father's Care…read more I am writing this review with deep concern and disappointment over the care my father received during his recent admissions to JFK Hospital. My father, an 83-year-old man who was living at home and managing his daily activities on his own, was admitted to JFK on August 19, 2025, after experiencing sudden weakness in both legs. Despite our repeated concerns about a possible stroke -- including noticeable weakness on his right side -- the emergency room staff kept him under observation for three days without ordering an MRI. We requested an MRI multiple times and were told it wasn't necessary. On August 22, the hospital was planning to discharge him home, as they couldn't find anything wrong with him, despite the fact that he couldn't walk on his own. We had to advocate strongly and insist that he be sent to a rehab facility for physical therapy, even though we suspected a possible stroke. My dad had experienced a stroke back in 2013, so we were particularly concerned. When I visited him at the rehab facility on August 25, he was in a wheelchair and unable to move his right hand or even hold a spoon. This was alarming, especially since he hadn't been like this before his hospital admission. On August 26, while at dialysis, he was sent back to JFK ER for evaluation of worsening right-sided weakness. This time, a doctor said an MRI would be ordered -- but when I followed up on August 27, there was no order in the system. Again, we had to advocate hard for proper care. I contacted the Patient Advocate, and only then was he moved to the stroke unit, and an MRI was finally done on August 28 -- nine days after his original ER visit. Later that evening, after inquiring about the MRI results, we were told the results were abnormal and that the doctor would call us the next day to discuss them. I made it clear that I needed to be contacted at work, but no one ever called. On August 29, I followed up by calling the unit and speaking with the nurse in charge of my father's care. She was unable to provide the results and said the doctor would call me. However, since no doctor called me back, I reached out to the Patient Advocate again for assistance. It wasn't until August 31, when I asked the nurse in charge of my father's care to request that the doctor speak with us during a visit, that we were finally informed by the attending physician that the MRI showed a recent stroke. Had we not consistently advocated for my father, his stroke may have gone undiagnosed. I strongly urge others to advocate relentlessly for their family members in this system -- your voice may be the only thing that ensures they get the care they need. No one has presented a clear care plan to our family, and the overall communication has been severely lacking. It is both heartbreaking and frustrating to witness such neglect and delay in care, particularly for an elderly patient who cannot express his needs due to his age and condition. The lack of urgency and thorough evaluation was unacceptable. It feels as though his condition was minimized simply because of his age. This entire experience highlights a breakdown in basic communication and a failure to provide timely, appropriate care. Please advocate fiercely for your loved ones. You should not have to fight this hard to ensure they receive the appropriate medical attention. JFK Hospital has deeply disappointed me, and I sincerely hope they take serious steps to improve how they treat and communicate with patients and their families. We will not be bringing my father back to JFK Hospital in the future.

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.

The hiring event was towards the back of the main floor and was very organized. The Penn Med staff hosting the event were all very friendly and informative and I was able to make a few key connections I can work with and hopefully build a partnership with for the sake of employing Medical Assisting graduates .
